Chapter 1403 - Price
Fig suddenly felt exhausted. He didn't even want to think about what his teammates did and how to convince Sam anymore. He just looked at him helplessly.
"So, can I kill them now? Or do you have anything else to say?"
"What do you want?" Clan's leader asked all of a sudden. Sam turned to look at him and he continued.
"If you really wanted to kill them, there is no need to hold them hostage and come this far. You could have killed them right there. What do you want exactly?"Sam smiled and said.
"That is a great observation. I was afraid that I might need to spell it out. Simple, the lives of these people are for sale. Fig or you can buy them if you want them to live."
"What is the price?"
"There are two conditions. The first one is, you are responsible for finding out who suggested this mission to this special squad. I don't care if it is a young master, an elder, or a Grand Elder.
I want every detail regarding that person."
"The lead that connects to him is dead. We would need a lot of time."
"I can wait.""What is the second condition?"
"The secret businesses of the young masters that I am currently held, hostage. I want every one of them to be transferred over to Grivon."
Both Fig and Clan's leader was stunned.
"What did you just say? Do you want all of the secret businesses of the young masters there? There are around twenty of them, do you know how much does it is worth?" Fig exclaimed.
"Come on, don't kid yourselves. These are not really powerful young masters. These guys are small fries. I highly doubt that all of them combined would have a net worth that could equal Grivon's and when we compare them to Giyon, they are basically tiny.
So, don't give me that shocked expression."
Sam paused and took out a few pieces of paper and gave it to Fig.
"These are all the secret businesses they have. The business which you don't even know existed. I want every one of them transferred. I would be sending Grivon's subordinates to take over one by one and do make sure that there is nothing wrong with the financials. Only after everything is settled down will they all be released.
If you agree to it, then I will leave them alive and do tell them, that there are more features to those shackles than just keeping them in check and they might want to control their words because of that."
Gail and Sam left after leaving those conditions without even waiting for the other people to speak up. Their intention is clear, they are not willing to negotiate.
Fig looked through the list and gritted his teeth. The squad has a special rule that is actually a core requirement to join and that is to not have any personal businesses run in secret.
The sole purpose of the squad is supporting the clan's administration, after all, so they wouldn't be using any of the resources they got from the clan in secret to fund their own businesses. But it seems like since he didn't make them sign any secret contracts with their soul, they seemed to have gone on to create their own little empires.
After looking at this, he didn't even feel like negotiating for them.
He went to the residence and gave the conditions. Of course, none of them are willing to admit to these businesses' existence.
"Don't worry, whether you agree or not, the squad is going to dissolve, and mediating this deal is the last thing I am going to do as a squad captain."
When they heard this, the whole squad is flustered.
They don't even know how to react, but before they could do, Fig spoke up.
"He is determined to kill you and from the looks of it, you knew how the death would be." He said as he pointed at the large mess caused by the explosion of one of their peers.
"You only have one choice. End up like him or give up your business. I don't know what exactly these businesses are worth to you, but if I were you, I would choose life over that."
One of them stepped forward immediately and said.
"I will do it. What should I do to finish the process?"
"I will inform him, he will send some of Grivon's subordinates and they can finish the process with you. Only after everything was taken over would you be let go from those shackles. If anyone wants to do the same thing he did, do tell me. I will be waiting for the next room."
As soon as he left the room is filled with utter silence.
But one after another, they went into the room and gave up.
That night.
Sam is holding the documents of the soul contracts. Almost everyone broke down immediately and gave up all of their assets. He made the transfer through soul contract and placed some extremely tight restrictions on it so that they wouldn't be able to play around and try to snatch anything back.
Gail looked at Sam and asked.
"Are you sure this is the right way to do that?"
"Are you having second thoughts on supporting me there?"
"No, I am just worried, that you might have made the problem bigger. Until now, you only Grand Elder Pon's faction to worry about. They might not make a move because they are trying to find a way to heal Malgav, but once they are done, they would definitely come after you.
The clan leader incident is something we cannot analyze yet at as he is not really reacting. From what I know of it, he must be in some deep internal conflict with himself about the words you said.
Only after he shows a reaction would his faction react. But almost all the young masters in that faction are targeted by you just now and you now became an enemy to a lot of people. Over a dozen elders, a two dozen youngsters.
There is that hidden enemy who suggested the whole plan that happened now.
Aren't you just making more and more trouble for yourself?"
"I am. That is what I want actually."
"What do you mean?"
"There is around one and a half years for the league to push my assignment away. Until you are here, they might not come and attack me, but you wouldn't stay here permanently and I figured I wouldn't be able to stay away from my body for that long.
I would need to get it sooner than that. If things go exactly as I planned, the chaos I am creating will make things settled in the clan for Grivon and Giyon within the next six months and then I would be able to leave this place.
I would be starting my real counterattack on the Mari Clan and Sivan.
I actually like staying like this. But even if I want to, I shouldn't be staying like this. If I had my previous body and the resources, that little girl definitely wouldn't have been abducted like that. She would have been a lot safer.
I figured that my body is the best thing for me and I shouldn't be away from it for so long."
Gail didn't reply and just stayed silent.
Sam went back to do his own thing. He decided to deploy the subordinates to take over the newly acquired businesses and decided to inject their products into it as soon as possible while changing the name.
For the next week that is what he did. Meanwhile, Gail went to stay with Jyon as she is too terrified by the attack.
Sam started the lessons once again and the children cheered up a lot.
While things are going smoothly here, the situation on Grivon's side, just got a lot smoother.
While Sam is busy acquiring new cash cows for him, Grivon went beast hunting. He went to the places Sam mentioned and started catching the beasts there and in the process, he fell in love with the creatures.
Now he is pretty proud of the collection that he has and came back to the city to meet the young master.
He went to the Beast fighting Arena directly and met with the young master.
"How are you doing Gevin? Did you come back here to lose more money to me?" The young master taunted as soon as Grivon came in. Gevin is the alias he took up in this realm.
"I actually got a new collection. So, I am pretty confident that I would be the winner today."
"Oh really? What beast do you want to fight against? I have all of the mine good and ready to go."
"Sure then, let's go with your Mountain Razor Snake. I have a perfect counter for that thing."
"Your wish. Don't cry if you lose once again.. Since it is bound to happen."
