Chapter 738: Attack (1/2)
Ananya was too dazed to talk to Sam.
She didn't expect such a calm but aggressive stance from him. This is completely out of her expectations. Now that Sam mentioned it, she is finally thinking in that direction. Why did Sam use this method when he can follow the same method?
She just felt that it is normal because she knew that some people are keeping an eye on her.
But Sam is not supposed to know that, but why did he still take such a step? If he opened another liquor business this time, the situation would be a bit extreme. Particularly, when all the elections on the planet are over by now and only the final appointment of the person in charge is left to do.
That too if it is a normal person they would do it since they raked money the first time, they would do so the second time.
There are so many reasons for Sam to take the first approach and very little reason for him to not to do it.
This is unexpected.
She wanted to ask some questions regarding this, but Sam didn't want to do that and gave the ultimatum.
This made her even more surprised.
”If you really do that, wouldn't all your work be lost?”
”Let us be honest, will all the money we earned, even if it is divided between me and my friends equally, it is around 750 million spirit stones each. Arguably, we are probably the richest Pre-transcendent stage cultivators in the Charbhum realm.
Even if we are not, we will still be in the top ten. We wouldn't need extra money to improve our statuses. As for the usage, those resources would be enough for a while.
We wouldn't be needing the extra money anytime soon.
And I made this on a whim. So, I can afford to lose it. But what about you? Your whole faction is trying to survive and compete with another faction of equal size and you have to help the elves as a whole to suppress and deal with the remaining races like centaurs and sirens all the while keeping your enemies from other realms in check.
Even if you don't care about the profits from these things, what about the losses that you would suffer from losing the business to this free alcohol they make themselves.
What would happen if the recipe spreads? After all, it only takes some energy control and few ingredients that are used for daily consumption. What do you think would happen?
Unless and of course, if the government forcefully stops the production, you wouldn't be able to stop them, and what would be the cost of the forceful implementation in a democratic society? I would really like to test that. Would you like to do the same?”
Sam said leisurely as he swirled the glass in his hands.
Ananya gulped and started negotiating a bit more passively and soon both of them agreed on 1.3 billion spirit stones.
Just the recipes without any brewery and the market value, this is already a big amount. After the deal was signed, Ananya looked at him before saying.
”You are a bit different from all the humans I have seen. You are smart, in fact too smart for your own good. I like your courage, but I would advise you to watch your step. At the end of the day, you are just a human.”
She turned around and started walking out.
”I am not just any human Ananya. I am Sam.”
”That's just your name. It doesn't make much difference.”
”You might change your mind soon. See you around.”
Ananya left the place hurriedly with a lot of conflicting thoughts. She reported every single word to her superiors and the words traveled all over to the Elder's estate in a single day.
Meanwhile, Sam went to meet Raunak and decided to pay the tax. For 1.3 billion and the fifteen percent of the special tax it is one hundred and ninety-five million spirit stones.
That is a huge cut in the eight hundred million and they only have to create six hundred and five million.
It has only been a week.
Raunak has a newfound hope and excitement while Sam is extremely relaxed. He decided to take some time off, to focus on his skills a bit. He has some new ideas of magnetism and gravity he can manipulate.
Along with that, he got his hands on some new materials that are brought back by the trio. They are the cotton fabric, some roots, some stems, and so many other plant materials.
While thinking like that, he went back to the new residence he got in the city. Since he is staying a significant time, a residence not only guarantees privacy it is more comfortable too.
But after he entered the residence, he noticed that his friends didn't come back. He decided to relax a bit and was about to move into his room. But before he could do that, he sensed some crisis and looked up.
The roof is covering the normal vision. But Sam could see it with his energy vision. It is like a meteor coming towards him at an extreme speed. From the size, the whole residence and yards will be under the explosion region.
He wouldn't be able to escape based on the speed.
He could only find another way, so he immediately entered the divine dimension.
