Chapter 505: Change of attitude (1/2)
Rana is having the hardest time of his life. After the hunt was over, he collected the necessary bonuses and was rejoicing in his new income. But his happiness is short-lived.
He wanted to ask Sam where he got the bee puppets and get the blueprint out of him. He doesn't believe that Sam doesn't have a blueprint of it, at least that is his hunch.
But before he could do so, he already started facing trouble and he understood how green he was. He is not the only one who saw the efficiency of the bee-puppets.
The rest of the noble scions doesn't know about the bee puppets, but there is something up with that broadcast system.
So, one after another the noble scions sent people to visit and Vasuki even came on her own. All of them are subtle about it, they didn't say it out openly, but they didn't hide the fact about wanting to know more about it either.
Yodha approached the matter in a completely different way, he just rounded up the Arena attendants who finished their shift and returned to their homes.
Clearly, he is the sanest and clear-minded of all the scions as he knew that Rana doesn't have that capability and there is something else going on.
Rana is not too stupid to get that technology out in the limelight at this moment, he has to do at least after building some sort of foundation otherwise the rest of the guys will rip him off real good.
That is why he took away the attendants as soon as they left the arena and started his interrogation, the whole thing went smoothly and the attendants didn't even bother to conceal a thing in face of Yodha.
Apparently, they don't know the full story, but there are some of them who were present when Sam is giving the demo and that is enough for Yodha to draw a conclusion.
The next morning, as Sam finished spreading his hornet network, he was called to Rana's office. He had a cold smile on his face and he walked with his hands on his pants' pockets. Arman noticed the change in his body language and started to do his part as well.
He moved out of the cell and went to the dining room. No attendants stopped him. When he entered the dining room, he even talked to the chef and gave him some large pieces of meat, this s the deer meat that was hunted by Sam yesterday.
This is going to replace the meat in today's night meal after that he went back and started speaking to some of the other fighters in the residences, at first there is some resistance, but Arman is no soft permission at least not in front of others.
Sam reached the office while Arman is doing his assigned tasks. Rana looked at him coldly and said.
”I want that blueprint of the Bee-Puppets.”
”I don't have it.”
Sam replied in a calm tone, he is back to his original self. There is no cheerful youth who loves bragging and likes showing off. His eyes are cold and calculating.
”Do you think I will believe that? You are going to give it to me no matter what. But you should decide whether it is the hard way or the easy way.”
”You can think whatever you want, but you will never get that blueprint.”
”Do you think you are in a position to deny? All I have to do is make you lose your meal for two days straight and you will be dead.”
”Why don't you try that then? I dare you to do so.”
When Sam said this, Rana was stunned for a second, and then only he noticed the change in Sam as he continued to speak.
”The family has essentially isolated you, you want to start your own business and don't have enough capital to compete against your family, at your current state the best you can get is a small shop which wouldn't provide enough revenue for your growth and your force.
You need money, to develop your own force and at the same time, provide them with cultivation resources and stuff.
Along with that you will need a place to stay and situate your force.
At this moment, you might be in charge of the Arena, but it belongs to your family, to begin with, they will take it back one way or other. The only reason they are still letting you stay here is that it would too obvious and their reputation will be affected.
So, before that happens, you have to get as much money as possible from the Arena in this short amount of time.
Your best bet would be to sell all the fighters to the other families and gain money and favors. As for keeping them yourselves, there is no way you would be able to do that because they can kill you in your sleep.
