Chapter 1205: Preparation
"What is this?" The Representative from the Myriad Beast sect looked at the holographic video and asked.
The Manager smiled and said.
"This is new technology. This is to get a clear three-dimensional video of the things as well as create three-dimensional blueprints. We just came across it, we are trying to contact the creator for further cooperation.
Anyway, that is not the start of the show. Just looked at the video for now."
With that, he displayed the blueprint and explained it here and there. After that was done, the target turned to the manager and said.
"So, where did you get that blueprint? Is it from the same person you got this new technology?"
"Technically, yes. But the creator of both is not the same though. The person who came to us is the creator of the city blueprint, not the technology and that person has a special request that this blueprint is sold to the Myriad Beast sect."
The target was surprised and asked.
"Really? And your Blackwood's black merchant hearts are letting this happen. I don't think you would be able to control the urge to get this city blueprint to yourself and auction it off to make tens of billions."
"Of course, we have those thoughts, but there are some things that person asked and we cannot give it to her, only the Myriad Beast sect could do.
She would like you to come and meet her tomorrow. She would give you the full and proper presentation of the blueprint, not this half-assed version and you can decide the price and the favors she asks for would be worth it or not."
The target became silent and said with a frown.
"You do know that I don't like to come out of this place right? My identity is too sensitive. The only reason that you know of this is that I am buying my privacy from the business opportunities I bring.
If I expose myself, things wouldn't be good. Neither for me, not for you."
"You are right. But that is only if your identity is leaked. This is not something preplanned and except for one person who is the Assistant manager that brought this deal, no one knows about it. No one knows about the girl and even if they saw her a few times, no one knows about what she asked.
Anyway, only I know your identity, you can wear a disguise and come with me and things would be good enough. It is not really that big of a deal and you don't have to be that paranoid."
"It's not about paranoia. There is news that my identity has been leaked, because of my excessive activity in this city. They deduced from the materials I supplied to you guys. I don't know how true it is, but from then on, the other two candidates are trying to nibble my power away.
I cannot take risks."
"You don't have to." With that, the old man went inside and brought a mask as well as a glowing ball.
"This mask will give you a perfect disguise. In fact, you can even disguise yourself as a woman and this ball, once crushed, you will return to this place within thirty seconds. So, all you have to do is wear this disguise and come here and if things go south, you only need to go use the crystal ball to come back."
As he spoke, he suddenly deactivated the formation plate and Sam who is listening in on the conversation lost the connection.
But now, he got the plan. He only needs to find a method to make sure that all the plans of other parties should fail.
He closed down the surveillance and even send his shadows to bring back the nodes around the city while he talked to Kumar and Noah.
He first gave the gist of the situation and said.
"The target is a space elemental user and by the looks of the tinkering that old man did in his room, he is also the same as well.
If it is any other person with different abilities, we could use the spatial lock which is the best option to deal with them and buy enough time to capture them.
But now the situation is a bit different. Both of them are of higher level cultivation. The target is the Middle-stage transcendent of the Astral Plane while the manager is the late-stage transcendent of the Astral Plane.
Things would be rough. We only have a few hours to plan the perfect trap."
He paused for a bit and asked.
"Do you guys have any ideas?"
"I don't have any, but one thing I am sure is that my traps are not useful to capture people in places. There is not much that I can do in that part." Kumar said with a shrug.
"You just tell us your plan. We will see if we can do that or not." Noah said from the side.
"If you ask me, Kumar would be in charge of dealing with the external factors that might disrupt our plan in the location. After it was started, the guards and the other employees would be alerted and even if the branch manager wouldn't need their help, they will still swarm over from different sides. You need to take care of them from far away.
Noah would be in charge of the people that are in the surroundings. In fact, your traps that are in shadow mice's hands will do most of the job, but if there is a problem and if any of the guards and personnel cross Kumar's net and come near, you need to do deal with them.
I will try to deal with making them stay in the place with a few traps, we need to use that time to make them stay inside for a long time.
That is the gist of the plan."
"I am good with the role, but are you sure you don't need help in taking on such a big role? They are too powerful and the power difference is too vast." Kumar asked.
"We don't have a choice. Anyway, I would be doing the heavy lifting, I will leave it to the traps and I think if anyone is the greatest risk here, it would be her." Sam said as he pointed at Noah.
She looked at him in confusion as Sam explained the plan.
As he went into details, the two of them couldn't help but feel a bit troubled. The plan is a bit too risky. Everything has to go smoothly like two gears moving in a mesh carefully.
They couldn't even let one thing slip past them otherwise, things would go crazy real fast.
Particularly, Noah needs to make an appearance near them and even talk to them for a bit.
She should be able to escape instantly and it should be done with extreme precision so that the other party doesn't doubt their involvement at all.
After all, they would be staying in this realm for quite some time and Black Wood merchants are not exactly some low-level people. They have too much influence and power in their hands and if by any chance that involvement of the three of them gets out, things would be extremely complicated.
They planned their disguises, loose-ends, and even contingencies if anything failed and after explaining everything, Noah and Kumar sighed.
"This is too dangerous, but a bit exciting too. I just don't know if this excitement is worth it or not."
"How about this, I would use my crystal table and the risk would go down a little, you want me to use it?"
"No need. We agreed on some terms and we are going to follow them through. That crystal table is the nastiest of all your gadgets, it is not fair."
"Do you want fairness or do you want results? This is too dangerous. Anyway, it is not for me, you are the one taking the most risk and I can find a hundred ways to get out of here, but I cannot say the same for you."
"No need. Is it too much to ask you to be normal and even the playing field a little bit with us. Would you die if you don't show off too much?" Kumar remarked from the side.
"Dude? Really, that is what you are thinking about. Your girlfriend's life is at stake, so what do you think would happen if something goes wrong."
Both of them stayed silent and Sam said.
"Okay, if the plan goes well, we wouldn't use the crystal table, but if things go crazy, I would use all things at my disposal to get us out of there."
"Do whatever you want."
With that, they came to an agreement and Sam jumped into the divine dimension's second floor. He has too many things to think of about this plan and there are too many things to prepare. That night, he needs to use the curse energy like he never did before.
