Chapter 1134: Poaching Prisoners
Markan looked at Kiran with a shocked expression.
"How do you know my name?"
"Of course, I know your name. The oldest prisoner of this place. Thrown here just because you didn't love a girl that loved you. All the hard work you put in to become an Astral Plane transcendent cultivator that too to the late stage was currently wasted in this dark and damp cell."
Markan looked at Kiran with a frown and asked a bit coldly.
"How do you know so much information about me?"
"I know a lot of things Markan and I also know a way to get you out of here and even get your revenge. Do you want my help?"
Markan frowned and looked at Kiran suspiciously. Who can blame him though? A person who is sitting in his opposite cell with just Astral Pre-transcendence cultivation saying that he can get him out of here and even the revenge, is completely nonsensical, to say the least.
Kiran understood his suspicion, but only faintly smiled and said.
"The woman who you made you into this, is actually in the capital at the moment and the truth of the matter is, she never really loved you.
All she needed was some attention from outstanding guys like you and since you didn't manage to give her that, you were here?"
"What are you talking about? I am here because that woman loved me, even though I didn't love her back, when she came to meet me, the person who loved her couldn't take it and brought a whole group of people to deal with me. That is the only reason. Nothing more, nothing less."
Kiran chuckled and said.
"Wow, I didn't think that you are this naïve. We will talk a bit later and I think you will change your mind then."
With that, Kiran went back to the corner and meditated. The next morning, he went for his torture session and came back, he made the setup and waited for Sam's message.
As soon as he got it, he exchanged something with Sam and cut the communication off.
He then took out a small insect puppet that is shaped like a bee.
It is very small and will perfectly fit in one's ear.
The bee puppet flew out of his hand rapidly and arrived at Markan's cell without making any noise and activating any formations.
Markan looked at the small metallic bee in confusion.
Kiran came to the entrance of the cell and wore another similar bee into his ear.
Markan placed that in his ear in a similar fashion.
"Now, can you hear me?" Kiran asked from another side. Markan nodded calmly.
"Okay, I will show you a video now, the audio will come from the bee inside your ear, focus."
Markan looked at the small crystal tablet in Kiran's hands. Even though the image is small and it is not exactly bright, he can still see it.
The first thing he saw is the familiar face of the woman, but her demeanor is nothing like he remembered.
"Where is that stupid first young master?" She said to a guard in the video.
"He went to the bar to drink. With Prash's betrayal, he is feeling a bit down." The guard replied. The woman smiled and went to the bar, but as soon as she sat down, the second young master and third young master already arrived.
They started flattering her and trying to kiss her ass, but she didn't budge and showed that peafowl arrogance.
Her attention was all focused on the first young master, who only gave them an occasional fleeting glance and nothing else.
"This is her weird fetish. She likes to play with the hearts of the people and really likes to gain everyone's attention. So, the whole thing regarding you killing the guys and ending up in this cell is her plan.
In fact, she doesn't even remember you. She deliberately threw you in the First branch prison with the help of a perverted old man who caters to all her needs, so no one is going to bother with you and you have to die here of old age. All the generations of puppet organizations will torture you while you live your life of hundreds of years."
Markan was silent. Kiran smiled and said.
"You can decide. Keep the bug with you, just hide it in a small groove in the cell wall before going for your sessions."
After he was done with that, Kiran focused on the next target.
There are a total of six prisoners he wanted to communicate with and they are all nearby. Five of these prisoners are of late-stage and the last one is a peak stage transcendent stage cultivator.
These cultivators are obviously powerful and all of them are here due to some personal grudges, not some grave sins they committed.
For the next week, Kiran spent his time trying to convince them.
In this week, the branch leaders went through all the information regarding the First young master while waiting for their prisoners to crack open.
The basic records themselves are impeccable and when they made an in-depth investigation, the business development, puppet making, weapon making, client relationships, exploration and resource gathering, recruitment, in every aspect the first young master is ten times better than the other two young masters.
They didn't understand how an ordinary man who was an offspring of a normal organization member became this powerful.
But they understood that he is worth a lot.
Now they started considering his request, transfer to other branches. Even if he wants to stay as the core disciple, they wouldn't object, but he is even willing to resign that.
From the looks of it, he wants to resign that.
He is in a depressed state, if they managed to make him feel at home in their branch, they would be gaining a person who doesn't want authority but could contribute a lot.
Both branch leaders started eyeing him.
They knew that the other party also wants him, but they cannot reveal it openly and can only discreetly compete for him.
Sam learned all of this and felt ecstatic. He is really thinking about how to get the other party out of here without raising suspicions now that they want the first young master, this will be easy.
This whole week, Sam made the first young master drink like a pig in the bar and act like a drunkard.
Even though he is not exactly a drunkard, he still made him look the part.
Both branch leaders wanted to take advantage of that and the third branch leader used a high-level weapon. His daughter. She was immediately called from the branch. She and the third young master are assigned to the task of convincing the first young master to pick their place.
Looking at the competition and all the attempts they are employing, Sam thought of something.
So, the next day, The First young master went to meet the two branch leaders and said.
"I would like to visit both the places and stay for ten days in each and decide after that. Is it okay?"
The two branch leaders exchanged a glance, they could see how frustrated the young master is, so they didn't decline and agreed immediately.
So, the next day, the first young master along with Arkiv went to the second branch along with the second young master and the attention-seeking lady.
The second Branch leader was happy because now that he is back at that branch, he has a better chance at convincing the first young master without the disturbance of the third branch.
The Attention-seeking lady was happy because she gets to hit on this first young master in her own territory.
The Second Young Master was happy because there is no competition from the third young master.
What they don't know is, Sam who is hidden far away from any one of these people is the happiest of them all as he saw their behavior.
Two days after the first young master left, Sam started his next step of the plan.
Kiran got the news from Sam and he talked to the rest of the inmates he targeted.
"Guys, I don't have much time. I need your answer now."
His statement was followed by silence for a few minutes and when he thought he failed to convince them, the first voice was heard.
"I am in."
It is Markan who spoke first.
Followed by that, the rest of the targets also agreed.
"Okay then, tonight, stay close to the gate of the cell and hold tight."
Kiran replied and went back to give the message to Sam.
Sam instantly took of a translucent crystal tablet while Kiran took out a cylindrical device and tapped on it.
A faint and gentle energy wave spread throughout the entire prison and instantly, Sam got a visual on the tablet.
He has ten glowing dots visible on his display.
