Arc sat in the chair as went through all of his thoughts. He is thinking of everything about Sam. To come to a conclusion about his personality.

And when he thought about all of it, he realized one thing, Sam might be considered greedy if one looked at his endeavors and the business plans. But there is one thing no one could deny.

Sam was never greedy for something that didn't belong to him.

He never eyed other people's wealth, he never targeted someone else particularly in fear his business would fail. He is way beyond petty tricks.

Everything he achieved was completely based on his own abilities.

He never desired for things that are not his own, in fact one could say he disdained doing so.

He looked at the crimson red pill that was on the table and after taking a deep breath, he reached out to that pill and swallowed.

He felt the faint trace of spiritual energy entering body and there seemed to be some of spiritual sense infused into it.

After pill was dissolved, he felt the spiritual sense entering his brain and the spiritual energy that came from the pill is aiding the body to accept that spiritual sense and in his Spiritual sea of consciousness, Arc felt an imprint appearing out of nowhere.

He couldn't make out the shape of the imprint but he felt the aura of the imprint is familiar and giving same vibes as Sam.

At this moment, Sam who is beating up Arman halted in his movements and felt something.

A faint trace of spiritual energy flew towards him and as he closed his and looked at this consciousness, he saw a small ball of light floating.

His spiritual sea is recently formed as he broke through the Nascent and is still small. He looked at the ball of light and as he concentrated, he could feel that Arc is sitting cross-legged and letting the pill completely dissolve.

He couldn't perceive Arc's surroundings all he could feel is what Arc is doing. He opened his eyes and smiled.

He looked at Arman who curled up into a ball and is trying hard not to cry.

"Today is your lucky day. Now go and clean up the mess of this beating."

Arman was quite relieved and he walked towards the rubble that was created by the beating he took. He started cleaning heaving sighs of relief. He seemed happy even if he is used as a cleaner. The genius of the thunder god temple seemed to have disappeared completely.

Sam walked out to meet with Arc.

"Stay within the city for a few days, we will go somewhere."

He then walked towards a hall where a lot of people are gathered. These are the newly recruited people from the four towers.

The three association heads actually underestimated Sam's influence, just his words made almost everyone quit their duties in towers. Anyone who worked for the organization will not want to quit there.

The job is great, benefits are great and they learn something from the intricate formations and such as for the Artisans, they are mesmerized with the machinery Sam gave them in the factories, their jobs have never been easier and productive. Why would they leave?

But these are not all of them. These are the ones Sam previously contacted and in front row, Austin could be seen.

"You are all gathered here, because, there is a new project awaiting you all. As the whole Organization is going to recruit our own employees, there needs to be a place to learn. Our next project is precisely that. There is a new land recently cleared in the nearby woods and we are going to construct the greatest learning place of all time.

With a wave of his hands, he threw a spatial ring to Austin.

He is the architect so he is will handle the construction.

Sam continued.

"These blue prints contain all aspects of the construction project. Buildings, formations, inscriptions or all of them combined.

Even if the construction might delay, I hope all of you guys can go through the blueprints and understand the concepts and intricate details, which might help you get a break through in the art.

After roughly six months, I would be going out of the empire to settle some business. Until then, I will allocate three hours a day to clarify any doubts you may have in the project. We will meet in the same room."

All of them are extremely excited, they didn't expect that the very first project as the new employees would be this important and helpful.

This time they don't have to blindly construct something, they must understand the principles and concepts behind the designs which is a great opportunity as they have all been learning so much from just their working time in the city and Park.

As they are looking forward to it, Sam said something else.

"But before that, I need you guys to pledge your loyalty to me. And to do that, all of you shall take a pill from this."

Sam threw a spatial ring towards them. One of them caught it. All of them frowned.

"I am sorry to say this, but I have been betrayed time and again from the four towers and even the higher-ups in the associations are all eyeing me, I have to make sure that there are no spies and there are no people who are trying to betray me. This pill some sort of entrance test."

They nodded in understanding, but that doesn't mean they are happy to take it, they are somewhat unwilling, it feels bad to be suspected after all. But they can see from Sam's standpoint because of their good impression.

Sam gave the four towers a just and fair treatment from the start. He took care of employees and he never ever cut something that has to be given to the employees. Many of them got bonuses and their working lives have been great.

But still, he was betrayed. Even after all that he had done, people still turned his back on him.

Austin was the first one to take the pill and swallow it.

He already made his choice and there is no need to turn back. After his lead everyone followed.

Within a few minutes everyone took the pill and Sam could sense their spiritual sense entering his body. There are many light balls appearing in his mind.

After they opened their eyes, Sam said.

"Don't worry. This is not a slave imprint or anything, it cannot control your will. Rather it only stops you from doing anything that betrays me."

Sam said and left the room. Even though, his words are not true, it is a white lie. He doesn't need to use force to control them, he would be using this just for what he said.

"Where are you going after six months?" Philip asked. He never knew about this.

"Thunder god temple."

"Why?"

"Palace of Inheritance." Sam said and explained about the badge. Of course, all he said was that only a select few were selected by the palace to come back and he got a badge.

"But wouldn't it be dangerous?"

The relationship between them and the Palace is extremely strained. Philip is extremely worried.

He left the place and went on to deal with his daily routine. In two days, the design of the first puppet will be finished.

And he has to finish the production equipment which he started. Once it was finished, his future manufacturing endeavours will be easy to finish.

Meanwhile, the whole Sam's city is chaotic. It has only been a few hours since the announcement of recruitment was released, but there are already many people who arrived for assessments.

Because, this is not the first announcement, it is just that the announcement made by Philip earlier didn't hold much weight and many of them had been fence sitters.

So many of them are inside the city for a few days.

But they are now interested completely and chose to join.

That evening.

Sam finally came out of the divine dimension and went to meet with Arc.

Sam walked towards the newly constructed Space gate within the city, it has been nearly a month since the construction started and the first space gate is obviously the city's. The second one that was constructed is the Space gate in the Kali empire under the beast faction. Sam has halted other gates to increase the speed of these gates.

Because, they can use the Space gate of the Kali empire to enter the Beast faction and then to the central continent's tempest valley.

Apart from that there is also another thing, they have a business deal with the Beast faction and in two days, he will be sending the representatives to the Beast faction. For this business purpose, he needs this Space gate.

Sam and Arc reached the Kali empire and the Beast faction and finally the central continent.

They walked towards the tempest valley.

Arc is looking at the valley from a far as he walked, it is extremely heart shuddering.

When they reached the valley, the Old beast looked at both of them and squinted its eyes.

"Pill of Servitude. Where did you get that kid? Don't tell me you made the pill."

Sam wasn't that much surprised that he knew of that pill, but guessing the pill from the smell, that is surprising.

Old beast looked at Arc without any hostility, since he ate the pill of servitude, he is loyal to Sam.

"I want you to train him."
