Chapter 506: Discussion
Sam didn't even bother to wait after that. He just left the place as if he owned it.
Rana panicked and fell into his chair with an exhausted expression. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
This is the situation he least anticipated. In fact, he didn't anticipate it at all.
As he was brain storming what he to do, he got the news that the attendants are rounded up by Yodha and some of them spilled some information.
The attendants didn't run away, because the chance of escape is not so great for them and they decided to surrender earlier. Of course, half of the reason is that they know that Rana couldn't afford to kill them at this moment and they are betting on that fact.
This made Rana even more panicked. He ran towards Sam's residence to have that talk.
After reached, he noticed that Sam is playing with a small hornet in his hands. He didn't care much and sat down on a chair right in front of him and asked.
"What do you want?"
"Simple, for the next fights, arrange them with the next division. The Late-stage nascent division. I am going to fight them for the next few days continuously until they are finished.
As for the rest, I do have some ideas on how you can get past this situation and I can even give you a way out of this current predicament. I can help you make a business, a force, and even make you the next candidate for the family head. But there are different conditions though.
But I don't know if you will agree."
"Why don't we discuss and see?"
"Well, we can actually, but I don't like negotiating much, so it would be better for me if you agree to them straight away."
"That wouldn't be good for me right?"
"I don't think so. Trust me whoever makes a deal with me, will always turn out to be a winner at all times."
"That is bullshit."
"I don't care about your opinion, but if you want to do this you can think this through. My conditions would be extremely harsh and there wouldn't be much room for you to negotiate. Only come here if you are decisive enough. But before that, just go there and prepare for the next fights. We can make some money first."
Rana looked at him and left.
For the next week, Sam and Rana are both busy. One with fighting while the other is making the fights happen.
After the week, there is only one fight left for Sam and that is the battle against the Rank 1 of the Gold rankers of the Late-stage Nascent division.
All over this week, Rana is under too much pressure, he didn't want to believe what Sam said to him in his office so he tried his best to stay positive and worked towards his goal.
But as time passed, he realized that all he said was true and is moving in the exact direction he pointed out.
The first thing is his family is trying to take the Arena away from him before he could do something drastic and the signs of their movements are all over the city.
The second thing is the pressure from the other Noble scions is increasing, they are investigating left and right and they are also trying to get their hands on the attendants, but they are not as daring as Yodha who is a reckless and bold guy.
So, all they can do is fish out some information.
As he was facing all of that, the only positive thing is the money he is making with extreme difficulty.
Meanwhile, Sam is providing various types of meats for all the divisions through the chef of the Dining staff and Arman is communicating with all of them in the backstage of the Arena whenever he got chance.
Since the attendants and the dining staff don't know how much of a storm Sam has raised, they are just letting them be and Rana is in no position to care about such things which appeared to be trivial on the surface.
After this week, the day before the last fight of Sam, Rana couldn't hold it anymore and once again made a trip towards Sam's residence.
"What do you want me to do?"
Sam smirked at the question and said.
"First of all, arrange a meeting with Yodha for me. We will talk about the rest based on how he reacts."
"With Yodha?"
"Of course."
"Do you think he will meet with you? Even I am not sure getting a meeting with him."
Sam chuckled and said.
"You don't know this because you don't belong to the category. But a superior being can recognize another superior being."
"What do you mean?" Rana was offended. After all, Sam is putting him on par with Yodha and is calling him inferior.
"The reluctance to accept the obvious is the sign of inferiority and idiocy. Don't ask me when you know the answer. And for me superiority doesn't come with birth and blood, it comes with capability. The day you understand that you will also see how puny your ambition and that family head position is.
Now just go and arrange a meeting tonight."
Rana left the room with a black face. He doesn't understand what Sam said and he obviously doesn't like this.
His expression changed only after he went to Yodha's house.
"I want to meet with Yodha."
"Commander asked me to escort me inside if you come. Please."
The guard greeted him and led Rana inside the house.
Yodha is sculpting a small wooden piece that is the size of a fist.
"What brings you here?"
Yodha asked, but his expression is showing that he already knew the answer.
"I am here because Sam requested to arrange a meeting with you." Rana tried his best to hide his surprise and curiosity as he said.
"It is about time you did that."
Rana couldn't hide his expressions and asked.
"Why do you want to meet him?"
"A person who can make waves in this city when he cooped up in the prison; of course I want to meet him."
"So, you knew this already?"
Yodha chuckled and said.
"You guys are wondering since childhood, what is the difference between you and me. And I can now say this is the difference. I am not one to not see the flow. You wouldn't understand even if I explain everything to you.
I will visit the Arena at midnight. Just wait in your office with him."
With that Rana left Yodha's house and went back to the Arena.
At midnight.
Sam is waiting for Yodha along with Rana in the latter's office.
Soon, Yodha entered the office and smiled at Sam.
"It is nice to finally meet you. I am Yodha."
Sam shook his hand and said.
"I am Sam. Nice to meet you too."
"So, we can go straight to the point, but before that, if you have some special wine; that would be great."
"Of course."
Sam took out two gourds that are extremely similar and gave one to Yodha.
"I only have these two gourds of it left. I didn't want to share it with someone who cannot appreciate good wine. But since you are good at it, I will share this with you."
With that, both of them clinked the gourds and took a gulp.
Yodha's facial expression changed as he swallowed the heavenly wine. This is the diluted wine of the Monkey king. Sam didn't want to use it, but he knew something like this would need to win over a smooth conversation with Yodha. So, he decided to pay the price.
But still, his hesitation caused him to dilute it with some normal fruit wine. But it is still better than any wine in this whole realm.
"This is great. Thanks."
Yodha thanked him and relaxed a bit.
Then Sam smiled and got to the point.
"I don't know if you know exactly why I called you, but I think you would have some guesses.
The first thing, I want to talk about is the broadcast system that Rana used in my hunt is my creation and I am the one who implemented that. Of course, that is not the main function of that system and not the intended use too.
But I made it like that to gain enough attention.
Second thing is, it will be most useful for the City guards and the military. So, if you want we can manage to cut a business deal. But I do have some conditions which I would like to talk about later. That is if you are interested and this system is not the only one I can offer."
"So, what do you want in exchange?"
Yodha asked.
Sam smiled and said.
"It is simple. I need to be out of here and you should guarantee my safety. I don't belong to any of the nations that ruled by Naga. I came from a place that you guys never even heard of and I will definitely return to that place. So, I would like to make a business deal between both our places and I want the two of you to be my partners."
