Chapter 453: Warning
Sam took his first break after this one-month period. After the next fifteen days, is the day he wanted to make his next big move.
But now, he wants to meet someone and he used Arman's help for that.
He is none other than Arkiv from the Usaine sect. Another player just like him. There are some meeting spots where the six major powers' people will gather from time to time and Arman went there to find a way to contact Arkiv.
For some reason, Sam wanted to pull him to his side. Even he doesn't come at least he should be neutral. That is because he couldn't be present on all fronts and this Arkiv guy will be a threat in the Nascent realm cultivation.
He is not afraid of other candidates, but this one.
That is why he arranged the meeting.
He wore his disguise and went to Arsin to meet him. He sat in a private room of the restaurant.
"I didn't think you would want to meet me and I never would have guessed that you are Arman's friend. How did you even tolerate that guy?"
Arkiv started speaking as soon as he entered the room.
Sam waited until he sat down and said.
"How strong is your relationship with Usaine Sect?"
Arkiv was surprised.
"Why do you ask?"
"Just tell me."
"It's a sect and I am its disciple. That's it."
"Then leave the place."
"What do you mean?" This time, the confusion grew even more.
"In the next few months, Usiane sect will go through a major change, you would be neck-deep in troubles if you stay there. It is better if you leave."
"Why should I believe you?" Arkiv became serious.
"You don't have to. All you can do is place a bet. If you think I am right, you should leave the sect and if you don't you can suffer along with it. I just came here to talk to you because of what Sanchez said. It wouldn't be great if you are dead earlier and since we would be seeing each other a lot. I just wanted to warn you."
"How do you know all this?"
Sam didn't answer that question though, he just looked at him calmly. Of course, he would know. After all, he is the one making those changes.
"Can't you even reveal a little?"
"The details shouldn't be out. But it is related to the Parks you guys are so desperate about."
"What do you mean exactly? Can't you reveal the details?"
"Why, so that you can be a good boy and tell your sect all this and start a hunt against me to get the remaining details?" Sam said sarcastically.
"Why would my sect do that?" Arkiv asked with a frown. For him, if Sam gave them the details, they would reward him, why would they do that?
"I am not here to change your world view. I don't care if you believe me or not. I just thought it would be a pity to lose a competitor like you. After all, the people I have seen till now are really not much noteworthy.
As for more details, the main reason I am not giving them is that I don't like the Usaine sect. They are about to do something really crazy to get profits from these parks. You would surely understand when the time comes. At least, escape at that time."
With that, Sam made his move and left the place.
The reason he did this is to really let Arkiv go, but the main reason is not completely to have a good competitor, of course, Sam is interested in his abilities and he wanted to get him to his side. But when he came here, he changed his mind.
He felt that this is not the right time to do this. If he directly tried to recruit this guy and this guy got the necessary information and sold him out, then there would be a hell of trouble. The situation will escalate even before Sam is ready.
He wanted to see how Arkiv would act. If he really is just going to be a player, then its fine, Sam could make a friend, but if he is too attached to the Usaine sect, then he would deal with them.
After all, a player would be having too much of a high potential to make him an Archenemy. Sam would be safe, but what about the rest? After this operation, he would have a domain of his own which is too large and makes it an easy target.
So, if Arkiv is deeply attached to the sect, he might as well take care of him earlier.
After Sam left, he went back to the divine dimension to continue his work.
And after fifteen minutes, the next move should be done.
This one is a big move in the sense of the unrest it would cause, but if one looks at the actual execution it is actually a small move.
This one once again involved the teams sent to the other empires and the parks.
On this day, once again various parks started exploding. Although the damage is not as severe and not all parks are damaged, the situation is not exactly ideal at all.
But something else happened in Arsin. One of the parks which are closer to the imperial capital not only received any damage but suddenly activated.
This made the people dumbfounded. As for some other parks which are damaged, they are superficial.
This made the attention of all the higherups in the major powers and major associations to look their way.
The Usaine sect suddenly became the target once again. The first explosion is already suspicious enough. But now, they have to deal with this situation once again.
But this time, it is not as easy of brushing off. Because most of the people including the supervisors of the park involved in the construction are from the Usaine sect itself. They joined the associations to get some more power and the association couldn't just stop by saying they wouldn't accept them.
Because the Usaine sect is one of the largest suppliers of the metals to them and they have some considerable heritage in these fields.
So, they are worried that Usaine sect will announce its own associations. That is why they are letting these people enter and keep them under their watch.
Even then, these people will mostly be appointed to the places under Usaine sect and the same thing repeated with the allotment of the artisans, formation masters, and inscription masters.
Once again, the meeting happened.
"We need a proper explanation of why the parks exploded again." This time, the one who spoke is the head of the thunder god temple. They still didn't speak much about the Usaine sect's activated park.
"It is same as before, the energy collision happened because of the improper handling." The formation head said in a low voice.
"I don't care about the cause, but I want the reason why same mistake happened once again. Are you playing with us or is this a ploy to hinder our progress with hidden motives?"
As he spoke, he looked at the Usaine sect head.
The latter looked at him with a cold gaze and replied.
"You should be responsible for what you say. What are you implying by that?"
The thunder god temple head looked at him and said.
"What are you so worked up about. I didn't say your name, did I? It's almost like you are too eager to defend yourself."
His voice was calm and cold at the same time.
The Usaine sect head realized what happened. The remaining also looked at him with a strange gaze. The thunder god temple head then looked at the three association heads and said.
"I don't want to ask you once again. I will give you guys fifteen days and I want the formations to be activated by that time. The Usaine sect's formation is activated now and I don't want to make any assumptions yet.
By the fifteen days, if you couldn't do it, then don't blame us for assuming that the three associations and the Usaine sect are in cahoots with each other and are trying to gain our resources.
It has been almost a year and we have yet to see any substantial results from this project. Since the first one appeared, then there should be the next ones that came. If you don't do this, you are answerable to all four major powers."
He said all of this to the three association heads.
Old three's face turned black and he pointed his finger at him and yelled.
"Old Thunder, you are being preposterous. What is with that tone and accusations? Do you think you can talk to me like that? I am an association head; do you hear me?"
Old Thunder suddenly increased his aura and an electric arc crackled around him.
"Old Three, seems like you forgot who you are talking to. Don't you remember the ass-kicking you received the previous time you pointed your finger at me?"
Old Three suddenly turned silent and he started sweating.
Old thunder continued.
"I am telling you guys to deal with this. If I see any more suspicious things, then it wouldn't be a meeting in a room."
With that, he left the place.
