Chapter 610: Business Deal with Mermen (1/2)
Sam and Chatur are sitting across a table with Sagar and Sandra on the other side.
”Why are you asking for us to guarantee the life of a shark? It is a beast?”
Sagar asked.
”I used it to achieve something and I am just returning the favor. I don't like debts.”
”But that beast wouldn't come to collect it. No one else is going to do that for him.”
”I don't want my debts paid only when they were asked. That is what I expect from my debtors. So, I cannot preach what I can't follow. It is more of a personal standard. Are we in or not?”
”How would you even know if we killed it or not? How would you even know if it is alive or not?”
”I made my preparations. Every heard of Spiritual Imprints?”
”The ones that are used on puppets?”
”Yes, I have been experimenting and increased my expertise recently. Now, I might not know the exact location, but I sure as hell know if it is alive and I do know which direction it is and I will also know when its vitality is reducing. Unless and of course, someone kills it and flees the scene within thirty seconds of its death, you sure as hell can count on me to catch them.”
”It would take more than thirty seconds to come here from Nagin,” Sagar said with a smile. For some reason, he is so interested in getting to the bottom of this. Sam looked at him and said.
”Since you knew about me through Yodha, did he tell you where I am from?”
”Aren't you from Nagin?”
”Not really. I am representing Nagin in the Union dimension that is it. Next time you see Yodha, you ask him how I appeared in Nagin and whatever his answer is, you can be sure that I will appear in the same way on this Planet whenever I want.
Now, if you want to talk business we can talk further and if you don't want to, there is nothing we can talk about.”
Then the talks finally went towards the business and the price.
”A rainbow kelp is not going to be enough for the design and the prototype.”
”Then how can we be sure it is as valuable as you made it out to be, before explaining about the core design.”
”Of course, I can explain it to you. But what if you reject the offer and copy the mechanism afterward?”
Sagar chuckled and said. ”I heard you are a competent businessman, but you shouldn't badmouth the people you want to do a business with.”
”Badmouth? You might not know this, before becoming a businessman, I am actually a creator. I make things and due to me being extremely good at that, I got another ability up my sleeve and that is, I can spot a copy when I see it.”
”What do you mean?” Sandra asked with a frown.
”First shop on the right, third shop on the left. The artisan shops in the volcano street you have taken me. The two artisans in the shop are experts at creating copies, in fact apart from their skill in forging, they only know how to replicate.
They don't have a shred of creativity and they work directly under you.”
”Now you are accusing of us and our artisans.”
Sagar as adamant and his voice turned a little forceful.
”If you really want to do business with me, you better get a good understanding of me. And don't ever question my words when I talk about artisans and their craft. My credentials would disagree with that big time.
And the sooner we agree to that, the sooner we can talk further.”
”What do you want exactly?”
”I think you are some sort of nobility here, so then use your spiritual signature and your noble seal and write a contract that you wouldn't copy my design if our deal doesn't go through after I explain the design.”
Sagar looked at Sam coldly and looked like he is too adamant, but right after that he sighed and agreed.
Sam smirked and said.
”If not for the fact I have no plans on developing further in your planet, we wouldn't have had to do this.”
”Why?”
