Chapter 945: Deals (1/2)
Noah looked at Sam with squinted eyes. She is one of the players who understood Sam well. He doesn't care too much about people that are not related to him. It is a waste of time to expect things like compassion, empathy and other useless emotions from him.
So, if he is offering a deal to her, then it would serve in his best interest. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't serve her best interest too, but the deal would definitely be in his favor.
But when he explained the deal, she was a bit confused.
”You want me to go after one of these two powers, this early in the competition and you will help me deal with them. I will get to keep the heirloom and any other treasures that could be found there and you will even give half of the business of the power I chose to deal with.
And even in the businesses, I won't have to do anything but I get fifty percent share in the profits. Is that right?” She asked as she looked at him even more carefully. She looked straight into his eyes trying to find any form of emotion that could deceive his act of dead pan face.
”Yes, that is the gist of it.”
”Something is fishy.” She said as she looked at the details of the family. Every deal Sam makes would be beneficial to him mostly. It might be a win-win for some people. But it is mostly going to be his advantage. But he is offering so many benefits her and she has to do the least of it.
She couldn't believe that she is that lucky. Lucky enough for this cold guy to offer such a warm deal. Then she thought even more and said.
”I don't believe that you would make a losing deal. You are bound to gain something else from this. Tell me what is it?”
”Why does it matter? I am giving you more than what you want. If you take the deal, you will get a slightly higher level heirloom than what you can acquire at the moment and you can exchange for more resources. You will reach a breakthrough quicker. No matter how I see it, you are gaining an advantage here.
I am the one on the losing end of the deal.”
”That is why goddamn problem. You are never on a losing end of the deal. There is something else going on.”
”Why are you so talkative all of a sudden? Just tell me if you want the deal or not.”
”You are also talkative today. Why are you saying so much nonsense all of a sudden?”
Sam sighed. He also noticed that he became a bit talkative particularly since Watt's marriage. But that is because he is in a good mood.
”I am doing a favor for someone else. It is a monetary gain. It is for my organization. Now are you going to take the deal or not? If not, then I will go and find someone else. I bet Arkiv would be interested.”
”No, I am taking the deal.”
Noah didn't push it any further. At first she just wanted to know so that she could exploit some more benefits out of him. But now that he said it was a favor, there is not much she could ask for. And there is a good chance that he will indeed cancel the deal.
So, she quickly shook on it.
”Wrap things around here and come to the Crimson reed realm. There the Blood lightning family is kind of a big deal, but they have two more rivals. I will be within the vicinities of the Blood Lightning family. So, come and meet me there.”
With that he finished the deal and went to meet Akhil.
This time things were much simpler.
The conversation was much simpler with this crazy brute. He accepted the terms easily without caring or reading too much into it.
”I am going to be done with this as fast as I can, then I will come there. But I won't come and find you directly. It is too troublesome. I will give you a signal that anyone cannot miss, so you can follow it and find me.”
”Alright, whatever you say.”
With that, Sam went back to get Five-Elemental King and Agar before leaving to the Crimson Reed realm.
The realm that has red soil all over. There is no particular elemental significance, except for the color and for some reason, three organizations that worship the lightning gods based themselves here.
