Chapter 386: Going to central continent
Sam explained what Sanjay's current mental state is which left both Philip and Jack completely dumbfounded.
They didn't see the battle, but now they are regretting it, what kind of lesson did Sam teach in that battle that Sanjay became like this?
After explaining them, Sam left, he has to check the beast as soon as he can.
He entered his room and let the beast out.
As soon as he saw the large white wolf, he was stunned.
His mouth was opened wide and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, there are small silver lightning crackling all around the wolf.
"Raiju?"
Sam said somewhat doubtfully.
[I didn't think this guy will be able to recognize me, not bad. At least, I am not stuck with some peasant.]
Sam came to his senses as soon as he heard the growls of the beast.
The beast probably doesn't know that he can understand the beast tongue.
"Not only do I know about you, I know that you are not supposed to exist in this world. How did you even get here?"
Sam asked as he placed his hand on the beast.
He is checking the bloodline concentration of the beast and when he noticed the highly pure bloodline, with very minute impurities, he was extremely surprised.
The beast is shocked by this.
Sam knew of this Raiju in two ways. The first one is that when he studied the beast when he was still in his past life. It is a beast of Japanese mythology that was formed because of the lightning and the pet of the thunder god Raijin.
But that mythology didn't describe the beast clearly and there are even depictions that the beast looked like a wolf, cat, hound, and even dog. With these many depictions, there is no proper interpretation of the beast's figure.
But after he came here, he learned from the bestiary that the beast is actually a wolf.
The one thing that shocked him is that these beasts are not supposed to be in this realm at all. They belong in the same realm as Yanwu and Mia.
He is already troubled by the fact that he was able to meet Mia in a mortal realm, but now here comes another beast and it was even given by the beast faction.
He wondered if these beasts are faction's secret weapons. Because he believed that a Raiju army can wreak havoc anywhere in this whole world.
[You can understand beast tongue?] This time, the wolf's tone was full of surprise.
"That didn't answer my question."
[For that, you have to answer my grandfather. I was born and brought up in this world. Even though, I didn't come out of that valley.]
"Your grandfather?"
[Yes, does that guy from beast faction didn't explain it to you? My grandfather is the one that wants to meet you.]
"My father's kin are the beasts?"
Sam was surprised again
[We are not related by blood, but from what my grandfather said, your father is a great son anyone could ask for. I heard many stories. Grandfather said, if you want to hear them you should meet him.]
"How strong is your grandfather?"
[Very strong. When he sneezes half of the planet will go through a thunderstorm.]
"So, you are here because your grandfather and my father are close?"
[Not only my grandfather, my father, mother everyone in my tribe is close to your father. But your father died before I was born.]
"So, your grandfather wants to meet me?"
[Yes.]
"How do I meet him?"
[That person from the beast faction can take you there.]
Sam went into deep thought; he has to decide whether it is a good idea to meet that beast.
But he is thinking whether it is a trap planned by Sai.
His gut feeling is telling him that it is not a trap as Sai is extremely reluctant to fight it out with him since the start.
The main concern of Sam is the grandfather that this beast is talking about.
Raiju is an extremely high-level beast. If this grandfather beast is someone like Mia's mother or something like that or a beast that is living on this land just for its leave or something, then Sam would be in big trouble.
He can manipulate human minds. He can create fear and halt the major powers and their heads to stop thinking about attacking him.
But the beast such as Raiju, and a high-level one at that don't take a shit. Sam is confident in taking three consummate realm cultivators when he uses the city, but if he has to take the Raiju at the same level.
One beast is enough to level the city down. It may die in the end, but the next second, Sam is meat on the chopping board for the rest of the world.
And why is he afraid that he would piss the beast off?
Because he is not real Sam. The people in this world might not realize this, but if this beast even in the future realizes this, he would be in big trouble.
He has a long way to become consummate. Above all, Sam felt like it is beneath him to use someone's emotional attachment to someone else to his advantage.
After some push and pull, he decided to meet with this grandfather.
But before that, he has to find a bargaining chip to at least try and save his ass.
He made some arrangements and a few minutes later, he is in the middle of refining the bloodline of the Raiju.
Sam must say that Raiju has the purest bloodline with the least impurities. Except for Yanwu and Mia.
The purification process is actually quite simple.
That is one of the reasons why he is so surprised.
After the refinement is complete, the fur of the beast changed a bit. The fur looked like lightning sparks, it is straight and has that bright and spiky sheen.
Sam didn't sign the contract with him and to be honest, he didn't dare to until the whole situation was explained and settled.
He very much wants this Raiju to be a part of his group, but not like this, he will try and see if he can get his Raiju himself.
After that, Sam left to meet Sanjay, he didn't want to waste time anymore.
Sam sent Sanjay off through the returning scrolls with the message that he would be visiting the Beast faction in a few minutes.
Then he went to meet Zeke, who can send Sam to the Space gate association, with a returning scroll from which, he can go to Beast faction using normal Space gate.
After reaching the beast faction.
Sai is already waiting for him at that place.
Both of them only nodded at each other in the form of a greeting and went to a meeting room.
"We will discuss the matter first and then we can go to meet them," Sai said as they sat down.
"Sure."
"What do you want to leave the beast faction alone?"
"A trade relationship."
"Trade?"
"Yes. Even as we speak, my plan to expand my business to other empires is already being executed and that includes your empires too.
Since we now have a chance, I will propose a partnership. I will be developing my business in all the empires under the beast faction and offer you a partnership of five percent in the whole venture, in exchange for the security.
The empire, authorities, governments, locals. Your responsibility is to guard my business against everything and also allocate the necessary lands.
Apart from that, we will have a trade agreement with the beast faction directly. I will be needing some beast cubs and I will trade them with the beast faction in exchange for products. Not any products, I will be the personal artisan and any beast faction member can contact me to make a weapon.
One weapon for one beast each. Both of the same level.
If you are okay with this deal, then you guys are safe. I will only take that guy's head."
Sam explained everything in a single breath.
Sai was stumped. He expected Sam to fleece him directly, but he is talking deals. Although, the deals are a little advantageous to Sam, at least it is better than fleece.
He only thought for a little while, before agreeing.
"Deal."
They shook hands and Sam said.
"My people will be in contact with you, we will meet in the kali empire under you for all our meetings. I have my ways to get there. So, you better send a representative there. The first meeting will be in two weeks.
They will explain the details of the construction plan. Make sure that you don't have any information leaks and it will be better if you don't let my name out. Just inform the rest of the major powers that your faction has their own research results on the parks and you are doing your own thing."
Sam finished the explanations and stood up, both of them walked towards the Space gates and went to the central continent.
"We have to go by foot, beasts will attract too much attention," Sai said.
"Sure." But Sam took out Harbinger the next second.
When Sai looked at him, he said with a shrug.
"I don't like walking."
