Chapter 604: Sandra
Sam waited for the remaining troops to come, but this time his plan didn't go through as he wanted it to be, because the remaining half of them came once and another half came a bit later than them.
If the second half were any sooner or any later, then it would have been great, but they came right when he was dealing with the first half which led to a chaotic mess of some of them escaping.
Sam wanted to chase them, but seeing that they split up in different directions, all he can do is shoot four out of six of them while the remaining two escaped into two completely different directions.
He didn't follow any of them. Since one of them would definitely escape, he might as well let them get both of them away.
He looked at chatur who got the remaining beast pouches and spatial rings and asked.
"Do you think the squad at the Volcanic cannon called for the base?"
"Absolutely not."
"Then, you call them and make them call the base. I am pretty sure you guys have a method of communication. I am not going to waste my time holding down this place like this on my own. I have many things to do."
"What if I call the squad in that place to come and hold this down?"
"And the Union sect will soon move out and take the Volcanic Cannon and the six commanders will start uprooting the authority of the special commanders starting with me.
I don't want to play stupid politics with these guys. After contacting them, just go and do your own thing with this base and get a new blueprint. I would like to see how good you are. Your talent is quite unique. You have a combination of skills in art, construction, and architecture along with scouting, battle strategy and defensive fortification, infiltration.
Combine all of that and show me what you got. Show me some design that shows all your expertise in one place, if you impress me, not only will I hire you for something great, you will also get twenty million spirit stones.
But before that, don't forget to set a meeting with the person from the Merman planet tomorrow. It is late and I would like to take a rest. Call me if anyone comes here before the troops from our base."
Chatur went on to do the tasks and a little after midnight, the soldiers from the base came. There are a hundred of them and Sam finally felt relieved as he didn't even bother to deal with the squad captain and left with his new assistant.
This time they soared on Sky. He is faster after all.
"So, when is the meeting?"
"If you want to, we can go there directly."
"Just show the way then."
As Chatur led them, they traveled for two hours which should have been four hours in any other beast of the same level and arrived at another castle.
There are a lot of merman and fishmen walking in and out of the castle and just every other castle, there are stone houses around it. This one is a lot smaller than both the castles Sam has been to.
But the specialty of this one is, the front yard of the castle is full of stalls with all the races.
There are many types of beasts and herbs that could be found in this dimension and many people will want to sell them and apart from that, they will also sell their own local specialties of their planet.
This place is a market for people of all races.
Sam and Chatur walked into the castle compound and the latter called someone and some came as they escorted them inside.
In an office room within the castle, A beautiful woman is sitting behind a table.
She has white skin with a light pink complexion and emerald eyes and hair that matched their color. She has a voluptuous body and a tall build with long legs that can be seen under the table.
She is wearing something similar to the tank top and a long slit skirt below from which one could get a glimpse of those long and beautiful legs.
The only difference between her and a normal human is that her elbows have fins with some pink marks on her neck that are her gills. Even though, they have closed at the moment and not pleasant things to look at individually, within her beautiful body they just enhanced her beauty.
She looked at Chatur and Sam and stood up as she stopped writing whatever she has on hand and greeted them warmly.
"Hello Chatur, this must be the person who told me about it. The Special commander of the Nagin castle. Sam. Nice to meet you." She shook his hand without standing up from her chair. And gestured them to take a seat.
Sam took a seat and said.
"I am sorry to say this. But I don't know much about you. May I know your name?" She looked at Chatur with a piercing expression and said.
"Its Sandra." Her voice was melodious as if it was nice music. But that didn't impress Sam, rather he felt wary. He knew little about the Merman race. Because all he learned is about Nagas as they are present in every planet of the Naga Loka and that includes the Merman Planet and they have a population that easily matches if not surpass the Merman's themselves. But what he knew is that there is something wrong with her voice. He remembered some myths of mermaids in his previous life and hoped that it is not true.
"Nice to meet you too. I only came yesterday, so I didn't have enough to learn much about you. I hope you forgive me." Sam maintained his polite tone.
"There is nothing to forgive. But chatur said that you have a business to discuss and it is a big one. What do you want to buy exactly?"
"I want to buy something from your home planet. But I don't know if you would be able to sell it."
"There are very few things I cannot sell from my planet, Mr. Sam. You can tell me what you want. You can trust in my capability."
"Then I would like to get the Rainbow Kelp."
Sandra was stunned for a second before saying. "Did I hear you wrong Mr. Sam? Did you say, Rainbow Kelp?"
Only Chatur doesn't know what is wrong with these two words.
"Yes, I said Rainbow Kelp. Don't tell me, that is one of the things you couldn't sell from your planet."
Sandra became a bit angry and said in a low voice.
"I doubt that you could afford it Mr. Sam."
"Money is not an issue."
"You do know that the value of that thing will go beyond money right?"
"Yes, of course. Then, what do you want?"
"What is willing to pay? Since you know what it is, you must have something in your mind. If the price is right, I can think about it. After all, there are only five units of this and they only grow every five years. So, please don't try to bluff me into this."
"If you ask me, I would mostly say money. Around two hundred million spirit stones. I don't have a problem if you want to renegotiate the price. As for anything else, you have to tell me what you want."
"Two hundred million? In spirit stones? You can pay such a large amount directly?"
"Of course. I can. Will you take it?"
"No. even though, the value is about the same, the Kelp gives a person to gain a chance to Breakthrough the levels in the transcendent stage. Even if that person is on the death bed, he can still breakthrough, as long as he is of water element.
So, it is beyond money."
When Sam heard this and looked at her expressions, his instinct told him something and he asked.
"It seems like you already have something on your mind. What is it that you want?" He asked as he looked straight into her eyes.
She took a deep breath and said. "I heard that you have deals with Yodha and are quite good with making new weapons. I want a new weapon design."
"Miss Sandra. You must be mistaken, my weapon designs are far more valuable than two hundred million. You are asking for a completely unequal trade."
"We will pay you the difference back."
"It is not about the difference. If you knew that I do weapon business, you must also know that I don't give the design away completely. I don't sell the design that easily."
"I am pretty sure, we can find a way to make a deal." She said with a brilliant smile and the bell-like voice once again made some waves in his consciousness. He frowned and looked at her coldly. The atmosphere in the room changed and his spiritual sense turned sharp and rebuffed whatever that is that came into mind.
Sandra jerked a little in her seat and started sweating.
She looked at Sam with a smile and the confidence that was before in her eyes was gone.
