Chapter 995: Wait (1/2)

Sam arranged a special meeting for the players.

”So what do you guys want? Why is this meeting? Did you all get into any trouble by any chance? You seemed so stressed.”

”You are the reason for that stress, do you know that?”

”Noah asked from the side.”

Sam was surprised.

”I don't think I did anything to piss you off, did I?”

”Dude, you set your team off on all the organizations that are within the range and because of that, we had to work faster and quicker taking larger risks. What is your hurry? If we had lagged behind most of the organizations would have been taken care of by you. Even now you at least got double the average of what we got. You are making us work harder.”

Akhil said in a whiny tone.

”Don't blame for that alright. I am playing within the rules. If you had wanted to do it fast, you should have worked harder and got an organization of your own. After all, having a bunch of capable subordinates is a good thing.”

”Of course, it is a good thing. And that is what pissing us off more. We were all born into organizations, but we are the ones that are running solo now. You on the other hand didn't have an organization from the start and were born in a lost village somewhere, but you have the organization that is far more capable than what we destroyed in the past few months.

If we had known things would be like this, I would have made some preparations at least. Anyway, just cut us some slack, man.”

”Can you guys cut the crap and just some to the point directly?” Sam said with a chuckle.

”We need you to stay on a break.”

”What? That is not going to happen. Give you guys a headstart? Over my dead body. I am not that stupid.”

”Not a headstart dude. Just give us time to catch up. You are already at the peak stage of Initiation and god knows when you would break through to Pre-transcendence. Because of your hurry, we are not getting any time to cultivate and train peacefully. No matter how much we tried we are barely in the middle stage and Arkiv and Noah are the only ones who made it to the late stage.

We are being held back a lot.” Akhil went on without giving anyone any chance to speak.

Sam sighed and Akhil continued.

”The thing is, we don't exactly know what your plan is, but you are in obvious haste for growth. If you get a great headstart like this then the rest, we would slack back and we all know that in the final stages, no matter how powerful we are, those organizations are hard to deal with and there are few of them.

You wouldn't be able to do it alone and had to wait for us to catch up.

So, why do it then, rather than do it now? Now it is easier to wait for catch up as the gap is small. If you keep on going like this the gap would only widen.

And also don't drive us to the dust, man. It might sound unfair but we are all in the same boat, let us just have each other's back. Wait for a few months. We will convert all the heirlooms and focus on cultivation. We all had our own encounters around and we are sure we can catch up. As soon as we reach the peak stage, even if you break through to the Pre-transcendence by then, we wouldn't ask you to stop until the second phase ends.”

Sam thought for the moment and said.

”So, what is in it for me?”

”Two-phase two heirlooms from each of us. Deal?”

”Deal. But I wouldn't wait for all of you to break through. Six months.”

”Make it eight.”

”Sure then. Deal. Is that all?”

”There is something else.”

”What is it?”

”It has been a while, let's go to Mackey's restaurant, please. I desperately want to eat something good.”
