Chapter 988: Tour (1/2)
The next day Sam met with Jwala in the most popular bar of the city at the most eye-catching table.
”Are you sure you want to do this here? You will gather a lot of attention in a place like this.”
”There is no need to hide now. I already decided to help you. I don't need to do something like hiding now. They are going to know anyway.”
Jwala sighed and said.
”What are the conditions you want?”
”You will work for me for at least seventy years. The Phoenix will also work for me along with you. The sect will be moved away from here and be merged with my organization.”
Jwala was stumped when she heard the three conditions.
”I can agree with the first one. The second condition is the decision of the Phoenix himself and the third condition is impossible. These women suffered a lot until now, I don't want to let them suffer even more.”
”What do you mean to suffer? They would wish for a lifetime to be a part of my organization if they knew a place like that would exist. In fact, I wouldn't even bother to reach out if not for my friend Yanwu asked me on behalf of that Phoenix. It seems like Yanwu was a bit nostalgic after he met someone from his own realm.
And the Phoenix already agreed to the condition. He will be working permanently under me. But he has his own conditions some related to you and some not related to you.
Only if you agree to this, I will proceed with what you want.
Offending three demon families and particularly when one of those families is connected to a higher order of the demon family is not exactly a good deal for me, no matter how I look at it when all I get in return is you only. In fact, the main gain for me through this deal is the Phoenix a person who has an understanding of the recent activities in the higher realms.
Think carefully and make a decision.”
Jwala looked down in exhaustion and thought for a long while. By now many people are looking at Sam and her and the news has spread almost half of the city.
People are already moving to investigate Sam and his team members.
After fifteen minutes of silence, Jwala spoke.
”Is it possible for me to go and see your organization?”
”You want to see my organization before you decide?”
”Yes.”
”And why would I do something that could compromise the safety of my organization?”
”I know what I am asking a bit over the top. But I just need to be sure that those women won't suffer anymore. Those women are defiled, violated, and tortured both physically and mentally and when that happened, they were a part of the organization by name.
The very organization that allowed them to suffer like that.”
Sam sighed and almost wanted to give this whole thing up, but he remembered Yanwu's request. Yanwu never requested anything from him, but this time, he almost pleaded. So, he could only endure.
”Okay, let's leave.”
Sam took her to the inn and picked Saber Monarch. The three of them went back to desolate using the dimensional drifter.
They appeared on the rooftop of the tower.
”Take a good look and pick a house from here.”
Sam said as he showed the view of the city from up there.
She was stunned when she took in the majestic view of the city. Sam's city might be the cleanest and proper city out of all the cities she has ever visited. Even the city from a higher realm where she used to live didn't have this much neatness.
Seeing her blank expression, Sam couldn't help but speak again.
”I said, pick a house. That is the residential area, where all my subordinates live.”
Sam said as he pointed at the residential area of most of the factory workers and the city guards.
”Why do you want me to pick a house?”
”Just do it already. Why do you have so many questions?”
She looked at the neat row of houses and pointed at one.
”Okay, let's go.”
The three of them went downstairs and exited the tower before they started walking through the streets towards the house she picked.
As they walked through the public, Jwala saw everyone bowing to Sam and greeting with a bright smile on their faces. Their smiles are not forced and even the bow was not burdensome. They are doing it with all their heart. It is the purest form of respect.
Sam greeted them back with just a nod as they passed by.
The word spread that Sam returned to the city and his walking path was spread and everyone in that path started coming out of their house to greet him joyfully as they invited him in.
Soon, they arrived and stopped at the house that she picked. A woman and a kid are standing at the entrance of the house as they bowed to Sam.
Sam smiled at them and gestured them to stand up before asking.
”If you don't mind, can we have a meal in your house?”
The lady and the kid were shocked and immediately beamed in joy.
”Please, please come in.”
