Chapter 473: Boxes (2/2)
Old Thunder asked as soon as Arc took a sea.
”Clark.” Arc replied. But it is not he thought of, Sam is the replying for everything that is happening here.
So, even though they are speaking with Arc, they are actually having a conversation with Sam.
”We never knew that a man named Clark is in the Yellow Sand Island. Where were you all these years?”
”Staying low, I guess.” His voice is somewhat cold as if he doesn't want to talk to them at all.
But the major powers didn't care at all, they just continued on with questioning.
”We heard that your fleet is actually quite excellent. We never know that yellow Sand Island has such skilled artisans?”
”No, we don't actually have them. They were bought.”
”Bought?” Old thunder was stunned.
”Yes, Bought. Customized and specifically designed.”
”Who sold you? The associations?” Old thunder's voice is kind of agitated.
”No, actually. It is from someone you guys already knew earlier. His name is Sam. He has a city under his name and he seemed to be under your empire.”
”What? Sam?”
Old thunder was stunned and so were the other heads. Sai has the minimum reaction because he already kind of guessed something before when the chaos started.
”Why would he sell you something? Is he open to a business like this? We didn't know that.”
”No, it is a part of his revenge. He sold them solely because he wants to destroy the Usaine sect. he said that his friend had some past grudge with the Usaine sect.
In fact, he gave us the whole plan for this invasion.
We even made a deal with him about the parks.”
”What did he take for that?” This time lightning Spear sect head asked this question. He is pretty agitated about this. The parks are too big of an investment for letting it go.”
”Well, he would pay a sum of money and gave ten percent of the profits. But I think he wouldn't accept such a deal with you guys.”
”Why would that be?”
”Working with some people who are accomplices of the thieves of his designs? Come on man. You should know he wouldn't agree to that easily.”
With those words, all of a sudden, the conversation started diverting from skinning Arc with a question and pressuring them to do business with Sam.
”I have advice if you want to do business with him.”
When Arc said that the rest of them turned silent and looked at him to continue.
”Sam seemed to have been researching on some ancient puzzle boxes that he found and he learned that they are a set. He wants to find the last two boxes of the set to see if he could improve his formation and inscription expertise.
If you guys can find it and pay some compensation for all you did, you might get a deal.”
”Puzzle Boxes?”
”It's about time, I need to go.”
Arc said and decided to leave, but no one stopped him. Everyone is thinking to themselves as they left one after another.
Their plan to grill Arc was gone through the window and everyone only wants their parks to go running. The percentage Arc said is definitely not acceptable, but they knew that they are going to find a way to cut a deal.
And one of the first ones to consider this is the Old Thunder who got a cue as soon as he heard the Ancient Puzzle boxes and the second person who thought of this is actually the Beast faction head, Sai.
Because they had these puzzle boxes sitting in their own treasuries for hundreds of years without any use.
Sai decided that he would exchange it for some more friendship as for the Old Thunder, he wants to make some big money.
Meanwhile, Sam left the Usaine sect along with Arc to complete another Invasion.
The other empire under the thunder god temple doesn't have to be independent anymore and by the end of the month, it would be under his control.
