Chapter 716: Stumping Raunak (1/2)

Even though the two candidates were easily manipulated by Sam into agreeing on this, the envoys were not happy.

They are not satisfied with the arrangement. Even though, one week's service is not so bad, if the service is on both sides it wouldn't give that much of an advantage.

At least the Envoy 1 is better off as candidate 1 managed to get the first week. The people will think the second candidate is copying the idea.

Anyway, Sam is out of trouble from this.

Currently, Sam is thinking about how to deal with the Envoys and the candidates that would eventually bring some troubles for him.

The main trouble is for the Elven special dish. Even though the dish is special and tastes better than the rest while it also helps the elves, the most it could do for Sam at the instant moment is bring more customers, but that is not the original purpose.

The elves in this town who are satisfied with their lives would only see the benefits that come from eating it, but there is something else in it that only people like Raunak, envoys, and some other elves.

The dish itself is not extremely special in the town, but once it transcends this place and reaches the place like Planet 1 and the military bases, the significance is extremely different.

If a nascent stage elf eats it, almost all of their injuries will be cured and it will benefit their cultivation by a lot and if Pre-transcendent stage elves eat that on daily basis, along with their natural talent in wood element and the assistance of this food, their breakthroughs would be easier.

There is no way the elves would just let Sam have it in his hands and hold it for long. They would definitely want the recipe of the dish. Even though it is not too much of a big deal, there is another significance behind obtaining this.

This could be beneficial for the factions. After these town elections are over, the city elections and finally the election for king or queen would be held. And similar to the town elections, there will be candidates from both the factions competing, and giving this recipe away to the military and such will be a great contribution on their part.

At least they can sway some civilians' votes to their side.

If not for the fact currently the election is happening and both parties didn't want to give any advantage to the other party, they would have already made a show of force to Sam to buy it off, but as both of them are keeping each other in check, Sam is safe in that middle-ground for now.

But there will come a time where they will use more and more desperate methods to buy the recipe off.

And today them trying to get the supply for the next week is a trial run for the main game. Not just for them, for Sam also.

He already knew that both of them are trying to come and visit him, his shadow mice are not for show, they could fool transcendent stage cultivators when they are Nascent level, now they are already Pre-transcendent, there is no way they would miss the opportunity get the news.

So, Sam got the news and decided to test the intelligence of the candidates and he is disappointed to know that these guys who are so green can be elected as the town heads, but he understood what is happening.

These guys are the easiest to manipulate.

Sam just kept an eye out for the envoys and made preparations for the next two weeks.

He just went on with the supply of the two parties along with the regular operations of the restaurant.

Meanwhile, the chaos in the town is growing. Every day people are getting into fights and the people that are suffering the most are the neutral people who are not completely tied with any faction.

They are being threatened, used as pawns for conspiracy from both sides, and also go through torture of being forced by two different parties.

This is the reason they didn't want to sell anything to Sam or any other person for that matter.

Every night the people from two factions fight secretly and sometimes the underlings of one candidate attacks the underlings of the other candidate hoping that the other candidate will lose control, sometimes one faction will create damage for a neutral party and paint it as if the other candidate has done it.

These conspiracies are being gone on and on.

While these things are happening after the first week is completed, Sam went to meet with Raunak again. He was received even more warmly than before and was even served some drink, Sam just received the hospitality and asked.

”I want to develop into the next business.”

”A second business? How can you do that though? You already have your hands full with your current business.”
