Chapter 475: Herb Garden Head (2/2)

Arc didn't stay with him for the journey and just led him to an administrative officer of the city and went back to the Dusk.

The admin officer took him to Sam's office inside the school and all this while the Garden head kept on asking questions as if he was a completely curious little child who came out for the first time.

The most interesting thing for him at the moment is the bee puppet. The Bee puppet is following the admin officer as if it was his pet, he even saw other officers having the same type of puppet but with different colors all over their bodies following them.

Even though, the puppets didn't perform any of their usual tasks, that only increased his interest in this puppet.

When they reached the office, Sam is busy with a lot of paperwork and brainstorming. There are some special patents he has to verify and something related to the new plans of the schools and so on.

But as soon as the herb garden head came, he stopped his work and greeted him. After both of them exchanged pleasantries that are completely fake, the garden head finally came to the point.

”We want to make a deal with you regarding parks.”

Sam replied with a smile on his face. ”I am always open for business.”

”Then, can we talk about the stake?”

”I will assume you would have already known about the deal with the thunder god temple, but I cannot give you the same amount of stake. I can only give away five percent.”

”Mr. Sam. Don't you think you are being a little biased here? Four percent is a large piece. You cannot show that much favoritism.”

Sam chuckled at his words and said.

”You are getting the wrong idea, Garden head. There is no favoritism, in fact within the current major powers, I have most conflicts with the thunder god temple as I have some enemies who went for my life there.

The reason I gave them that stake is because of another exchange, you might have already heard from Clark that I am looking for the ancient puzzle boxes that use formations and inscriptions to unlock.

They exchanged that thing with me and I gave them that stake in the exchange. On top of that, if I have to blunt you are an accomplice of the three associations when you agreed to make a deal with them regarding the parks even after you knew that the designs are stolen from me.

The only reason I didn't react is that the parks are still not activated. Now, that you couldn't do it, you are asking me for help.

That is not fair for my side if you think.”

Sam said in a somewhat melancholic tone.

The Garden head turned awkward at this moment.

He didn't expect that Sam would directly bring this up.

”Is there no way around this situation?”

Sam had a deeply thoughtful expression and said after some silence.

”I do have a way to work around this issue, but I don't know if you will agree with it.”

”Please do tell. We can negotiate.”

”I need land in one of your empires. You must have seen the size of the compound we are in. I need the same size of land and permission to open the school.”

”School?”

”Yes, a school. This is one of my life goals. To educate people. That is why I established this school we are in. All the city, parks, and other things I did are all for this. I will be teaching orphans. I am an orphan myself. So, this is something very dear to me.”

Now it was Garden head's turn to be silent and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
