Chapter 361: Deal
Sanjay's father didn't hesitate to take out his beast as he made his escape. A Wyvern came out of nowhere and its enormous wingspan even shocked the rest of the transcendent cultivators who followed him.
He didn't leave them to curb though. The main reason for taking his beast out is for this, the Wyvren has enough space on its back to fit fifteen people.
He started picking up each and every person within the group and made sure they stayed stable on the back.
Meanwhile, the four Consummate realm high priests started following him by foot and they leaped over one tree after another.
The whole seashore which was extremely silent and tranquil has turned extremely chaotic.
Sanjay's father looked back to make sure that they are not catching up. He is not afraid to fight it out with them since he noticed that their auras are that of early-stage Consummate realm cultivators.
He is extremely confident that with his limiter lifted, he would be able to deal with these four no problem. But his instinct is telling him not to pick a fight at this place and move as fast as he can.
His instincts would never lie to him. That is what he believed and made his escape.
As he was flying away, he saw Old one coming out of one of the tents in an extremely calm manner.
It looked like he is not at all fazed by the fact that someone found out his hideout.
Even from the layout which has no restrictions and such, Sanjay's father felt like he is not even trying to hide the whole camp.
And that expression on his face only reinforced his belief.
Coincidentally, the location is not far off from a Space gate that leads to the meeting point of the Six major powers and he would be able to move on the Wyren in a day and he can use that Space gate to visit the meeting point to report the situation.
Meanwhile, on the western continent.
Sam doesn't know that the person who wanted to kill him the most is the one that found the place of the enemy��s lair and is even running away from there to report the situation.
He came back after a short break to meet Moriya and Arc who are extremely silent and there are no signs of them having any conversation whatsoever.
"Are you ready to have some proper conversation now, or are you still thinking of ways to guilt trip me into giving you some free benefits?"
"We can talk properly."
Moriya said as he took a deep breath.
"Okay now, I know the situation is difficult at this moment and the major powers are all in a combined crisis. From what I guess, within a week, the war will reach its final stages, there is a huge possibility that the Old one is only biding his time to make his subordinates absorb the followers so that he would have high-level cultivators enough to challenge the six major powers.
For that, there is only one way to stop them and that is trying to find their hide out and try to get stop the process.
I don't know if you guys even tried to find his hideout, but if you really did find out, then I can give you the chance to render all the followers useless, you can make sure that they wouldn't be able to finish the process of creating a bunch of Consummate realm cultivators and you can take it from there.
What are you willing to pay for this to happen?"
Sam said all this in a single breath.
"What do you want? Just be straight forward."
"I need thunder god temple's protection."
"What do you mean?"
"I need thunder god temple to protect me from the rest of the world, I know the Beast faction will be targeting me from now and even if the rest of the major powers are not showing any interest now due to the crisis, I am pretty sure they are interested in me since the Beast faction incident.
I want the thunder god temple, to hinder them from sending all those people who will target me. It is not that I am afraid, but there is no need for me to fight over all the pesky flies that come to disturb me.
I want zero interference from any of the major powers or minor powers that are related to the Central continent and their surroundings."
"Just that?" Moriya asked in surprise.
"Of course not. I want these items too."
Sam took out a list of items that need to be delivered. Moriya looked at the list and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"You are not kidding, right? They are signature resources of the six major powers, there is no way they would be willing to give you this much amount of these things."
"Of course, I am not kidding. Do I look like I am kidding to you? Of course, you don't have to give me those items for you to give me for free. I will be exchanging some of my products to them for half the amount and I will be giving another half of the amount in spirit stones."
"You want to pay for all these?"
Moriya is really shocked this time because he never expected Sam to offer for paying anything. In fact, the six major powers all got ready to be fleeced by Sam, that is why they are trying to play the petty tricks of pinning blames and suspicions on Sam.
But Sam never intended to take too many things from them. He was even ready to pay for the things. That is because he has seen first hand what a major power can do. All this while, he stayed in the thunder god temple, he understood what a major power is capable of doing.
He can, of course, take advantage of the major powers, but there is no way he would be unscathed from the fleecing he could do. That is why he is planning to take any form of materialistic gains. Rather he would use this to get them to sell the things that would normally be impossible to get his hands on.
"Of course, I am not going to pay you a full market price, I want them at the cost price, maybe I can bear a little cost and give ten percent profit." Sam continued after speaking till now.
Moriya was still stunned by this fact and didn't know how to react for a moment and only came to his senses after listening to Sam's words.
"I think I can agree to this, but provided you will pay for the resources you are going to buy."
He said as he looked at Sam.
"Of course, the cost is a bit huge. We can do the deal in batches. I will provide the money and the products that I am going to exchange in three installments and I would expect you guys to do the same.
If you are down for that, then we have a deal."
"What do you mean to deal, we didn't discuss the whole thing about how much liquid you are going to give?"
"Why bother discussing? I am going to supply as much as you want and will send it to you through the Space gate you guys are building in the woods."
Suddenly, Moriya stopped in his train of thoughts and looked at Sam in disbelief. He felt extremely vigilant and his face turned red. He started looking around as became highly alert.
"How do you know?"
He knew about the Space gate that was being constructed. In fact, the thunder god temple has hired the Space gate association to do that a long time ago and it was even being constructed underground.
Arc was also kept in the dark because these people are sent along with Moriya and Arman. The only reason for the Space gate not being constructed was due to the war thing. They are suspicious of the people from the Space gate association with all the war happening.
Currently, those people are staying within Sam's city in the guise of visitors.
He never expected that Sam would know all of this, even when he is not in the scene for a few months.
This is an extremely secret operation.
"Don't get too surprised, I knew about it as soon as I woke up. We just let them be just because we don't see any threat from this Space gate, in fact, this is quite beneficial to me.
You don't have to keep it a secret anymore. I would even give you an area within the city if you want."
"No need."
Moriya rejected immediately. He doesn't know how to take this, he felt like they should reevaluate Sam again.
Sam passed a Spatial ring and said to Moriya.
"I suggest you use them in the front lines and take them by surprise, from my guess, in the next week, the transcendent stage cultivators will attack the Major powers and you guys wouldn't be able to stop it unless you find their hideout."
