Chapter 372: Offer
Sam walked out of the room like a boss.
If any historian was present, he would have doc.u.mented the whole incident to show the future generations that there lived a man who dared to threaten ten strongest people of the world, when he is twenty years old and weak as a twig in front of those strong men.
Sam walked out with his head held high, proud, and strong in front of a force that he couldn't even imagine tackling in the next few years.
And the proudest part is the force cannot do anything to him.
As he left the room, the ten people who are at the top of the pyramid of this planet that was constructed by their ancestors thousands of years ago and the pyramid which every person on the planet is a part of, without even their knowledge.
Now, as they looked at Sam, they realized he is not a part of that pyramid like they thought.
They have an impression that should be a part of this and are trying so hard to control him. They are afraid that he would get out of this system and go beyond their control. They couldn't digest this for some reasons like their pride, ego, and the fact that Sam is young and weak.
That is why they tried all these petty tricks, but they now realized their mistake.
Sam is already out of the system a long time ago. In fact, it is almost like he was never a part of it in the first place.
Their efforts are in vain.
They gathered here today not only to get the method Sam used to use the light element to create such lethal attacks, but also to threaten him and put him in his place.
But now, they understood their own position.
They are living in a pyramid that was already in place for thousands of years, while Sam who they are looking at is constructing his own monument in the world.
All these years, they are so complacent and comfortable in the already created system with their life depended on it.
But now, there comes a young man who just disregards the system and the rules that are governing the system by which everyone in the world lives.
They didn't know what to do. On one hand, they are completely pissed off and on the other hand, they are amazed and helpless at the same time.
There is also a faint curiosity to see how far will Sam go.
There is one thing they all have in mind, that is the last statement Sam left. The partnership.
They are curious that a youngster dared to suggest a partnership with him.
So, they were curious and wanted more information, when all the heads of different powers asked him about the information, the thunder god temple head couldn't hide it.
That would be too much pressure.
Just like that in an hour, there is a bunch of information in the hands-on everyone that included the recording crystals which clearly caught the image of Sam's city.
With that, they are intrigued and looked into the spatial ring.
The sample products all included grenades of various kinds, the breathing device, communication devices and portable communication hub, hunting traps, and so on.
They are actually quite impressed with what Sam had done.
The most impressive thing that they saw is the communication network.
The formation association head is more impressed than the rest because he understood the principle behind the communication network. Sam actually created a formation spanning over the whole western continent with the communication network.
Which is actually something no one would do, at least until now nobody dared to do this.
This is something that they didn't expect.
The next thing that took their mind away was Sam's park.
There is a recording crystal full of the recording of the Park.
This park has a lot of money circulating within a day.
Now, they suddenly felt that they need a place like that in the empires which are currently not in track.
The systems collapsed due to the involvement of the church and currently, there are teams deployed from the major powers to the empires to hunt down the remnants of the church.
This is being used as a practice and the missions for the candidates.
Every disciple in the major power and even the elders are eagerly taking the missions. But that also brought a drawback.
There are no city guards at this moment, there are no city lords, not many noble families have any remnant people left.
There are no marquises and the small amount. of soldiers and the generals that are left are straying and everyone was separated.
There is no order in any of the empires except for the Western continent.
They placed missions for their disciples to temporarily establish the order. But no one is interested in taking it.
After all, they have an opinion on these empires and that is not exactly a good one.
In their minds, these empires are rural areas, those are there for them to pick their junior disciples on whom they can fling their authority and egos over.
The resources in the empires are not of high-quality and their growth rate will be limited with these resources.
They know that the current situation of the empires is not good and they are in desperate need to keep order, but they are afraid to take initiative because there is a chance that they would make them permanent in charge there.
But the higher-ups couldn't just let them go.
They forced some people to start maintaining order and some of them even found the noble families that are on the run during the church incident and are using them to maintain order.
The only problem is the number of people in the major powers is not enough to achieve.
While they are thinking of all the problems they are facing in the empires and trying to think of how Sam and his arrangements can help them, Sam returned back to the city.
This time, he directly went to Arman. He dragged him while his senses are still sealed and threw him in one of the training rooms that are built in the city. These are rented out for the visitors who wanted to test their skills after they improved in the city's park.
Sam just stopped the booking of the training room for the next one month.
He has planned this for a while and currently, he felt like this is the best time to implement it.
Because he is pissed at the moment. Even though, he gave the threat to those old men and walked out proudly, that one moment when he was suppressed was still fresh in his mind and he is not exactly proud of that.
He wanted to vent some anger.
Sam unsealed Arman after they entered the training room.
Arman looked around and when he saw Sam, his body turned stiff.
This is not the view he wanted to see when he was released.
"How are you doing Arman?"
Sam asked with a smile.
"What do you want to do?"
Arman directly asked as he put his guard up. He knew all his moves against Sam till now are revealed and there is no reason for him to be pretentious and deny it.
"Nothing much, actually. I am here to offer something to you."
"Offer?"
"Yes, an offer which you cannot refuse."
"What is it?"
"I will not use my authority in the city or anything. We will have a fair fight. Only you and me. Direct one on one battle. As soon as you can beat me, you can leave the city. You will stay in this same room until that happens."
Arman went into deep thought, he didn't know what to expect of Sam. He is not extremely confident that he can defeat Sam directly. That is the reason he avoided the confrontation.
But now, the confrontation turned out to be his only way out.
"What if I lose?"
Arman asked cautiously.
"Until you win, I will come here every day and we will have a battle. You can study me, try to force me to use all my cards, you can do everything you can. You can even break through the Nascent stage and fight me, I don't care. You can even pull dirty tricks if you can use everything in your arsenal and if you can beat me, you can leave. If you can kill me, you can take whatever it is that you want from me. Philip and rest wouldn't even involve as long as you don't go after the city."
Arman was tempted by the offer. He felt like he has a shot at taking Sam on in a one-on-one match.
He is not entirely confident that he can win, but that doesn't mean there is no chance for him to win. He used these kinds of arguments to convince himself and decided to accept the deal.
"I will take that offer."
