Chapter 610: Business Deal with Mermen
Sam and Chatur are sitting across a table with Sagar and Sandra on the other side.
"Why are you asking for us to guarantee the life of a shark? It is a beast?"
Sagar asked.
"I used it to achieve something and I am just returning the favor. I don't like debts."
"But that beast wouldn't come to collect it. No one else is going to do that for him."
"I don't want my debts paid only when they were asked. That is what I expect from my debtors. So, I cannot preach what I can't follow. It is more of a personal standard. Are we in or not?"
"How would you even know if we killed it or not? How would you even know if it is alive or not?"
"I made my preparations. Every heard of Spiritual Imprints?"
"The ones that are used on puppets?"
"Yes, I have been experimenting and increased my expertise recently. Now, I might not know the exact location, but I sure as hell know if it is alive and I do know which direction it is and I will also know when its vitality is reducing. Unless and of course, someone kills it and flees the scene within thirty seconds of its death, you sure as hell can count on me to catch them."
"It would take more than thirty seconds to come here from Nagin," Sagar said with a smile. For some reason, he is so interested in getting to the bottom of this. Sam looked at him and said.
"Since you knew about me through Yodha, did he tell you where I am from?"
"Aren't you from Nagin?"
"Not really. I am representing Nagin in the Union dimension that is it. Next time you see Yodha, you ask him how I appeared in Nagin and whatever his answer is, you can be sure that I will appear in the same way on this Planet whenever I want.
Now, if you want to talk business we can talk further and if you don't want to, there is nothing we can talk about."
Then the talks finally went towards the business and the price.
"A rainbow kelp is not going to be enough for the design and the prototype."
"Then how can we be sure it is as valuable as you made it out to be, before explaining about the core design."
"Of course, I can explain it to you. But what if you reject the offer and copy the mechanism afterward?"
Sagar chuckled and said. "I heard you are a competent businessman, but you shouldn't badmouth the people you want to do a business with."
"Badmouth? You might not know this, before becoming a businessman, I am actually a creator. I make things and due to me being extremely good at that, I got another ability up my sleeve and that is, I can spot a copy when I see it."
"What do you mean?" Sandra asked with a frown.
"First shop on the right, third shop on the left. The artisan shops in the volcano street you have taken me. The two artisans in the shop are experts at creating copies, in fact apart from their skill in forging, they only know how to replicate.
They don't have a shred of creativity and they work directly under you."
"Now you are accusing of us and our artisans."
Sagar as adamant and his voice turned a little forceful.
"If you really want to do business with me, you better get a good understanding of me. And don't ever question my words when I talk about artisans and their craft. My credentials would disagree with that big time.
And the sooner we agree to that, the sooner we can talk further."
"What do you want exactly?"
"I think you are some sort of nobility here, so then use your spiritual signature and your noble seal and write a contract that you wouldn't copy my design if our deal doesn't go through after I explain the design."
Sagar looked at Sam coldly and looked like he is too adamant, but right after that he sighed and agreed.
Sam smirked and said.
"If not for the fact I have no plans on developing further in your planet, we wouldn't have had to do this."
"Why?"
"Because wherever I am, people would be too afraid to copy my things and it doesn't matter what it is. So, now let me explain you the design.
The harpoon gun has two main working mechanisms, one of them is the shooting mechanism for which the small metallic cylinder and another machine that I made myself would be required. The small cylinder contains compressed air, at extremely high pressure.
When the trigger is pulled, the air is injected through another nozzle to the shaft of the harpoon and it goes on until the pressure lock is triggered which will make the harpoon launch and pierce into whatever the target is.
And now, the second mechanism, the harpoon spear tip. It acts like a normal spear tip when it was impaled, but once it stuck and the beast wanted to make the spear get out of its body, the spear tip's mechanism will be triggered.
It is a small trap with some strings and small metallic blades, both are sharp enough to slice through the flesh of a Level-6 beast or a Nascent stage cultivator and even the pre-transcendent stage cultivators.
The trap captures something inside the beast as it envelopes either a piece of flesh, an internal organ or both combined and the second the beast moves, not only would the entrapped part of its body will be sliced meat, the motion of the beast will definitely be impeded and if your soldiers couldn't catch a beast in such stage, they better not try to catch.
But that is only the worst case scenario. Because, if the beast has its normal instincts, it wouldn't move considering the pain that would occur due to a millimeter of its movement."
Sam explained as he activated each mechanism in ten percent of their strength. Even though, they couldn't be operated that way in the middle of the battle, it would be done with Sam in the demonstration.
After explaining everything, he said.
"This is what you are buying. This might not be the best thing I can offer, but I can say that this is the best thing you can get no matter where you go."
"You are that confident in yourself that nobody can beat your design." Sandra said.
"If I am not confident in my own skills, I would be too embarrassed to let others see them and I am not just confident, I can bet that no one can beat my design. It is a fact and my design speaks for itself.
By the way, we are dragging this way too long. This is one of the smallest deals I did and you are taking way too much time. What do you want offer?"
"Rainbow Kelp and extra two hundred million spirit stones."
"Rainbow Kelp and five hundred million worth of resources. I don't need spirit stones, I have too many of them."
"Whatever resources you could get, but the five hundred million is too big of a number to give you that. I can go upto two hundred and fifty."
"Four hundred and fifty."
"Three hundred."
"Four hundred."
"Three hundred and fifty."
"Four hundred and fifty."
"Four hundred it is." Sagar extended his hand and they agreed on a deal.
"Now let us talk about the resources you are going to give me."
"What do you want?"
Sam went on with a list of materials he wants to get from this planet. And after he gave them discussed the deal, he stayed the night in the city.
The next morning, he got ready to leave with Sandra back to the Union dimension.
Before they separated at the Origin Palace, they shook their hands once again.
"It is nice making a deal with you. I hope we can work together in the future."
"I would like that too. I will come to you, if I get a good business plan and you can come to me again if you want to make another deal. I can do a lot more than designing a weapon."
"I will hold you for that."
After that brief farewell, they went in their own ways. In the one day, they were absent, a lot has changed in the Union dimension and they knew about it as soon as they arrived at the Nagin Castle.
The Flavos' special commander has made his first move and that is against a resource point, he lost a lot of individual members. Around sixty of them for that victory and this caused another political friction between the commanders as the special commanders of other nations tried use their commanders to beat him down by a notch.
The worst part is that the resource point is not in their hands completely. Even though it is there, the Union sect has already sent troops to that place and they are now attacking.
