Chapter 304: Inauguration Day
They went back to the city and Sam assigned Felicia to show them their rooms. Felicia who was supposed to be following Watt around on his training journey was left here in the city discreetly by Watt before he left.
Sam decided to deal with him after the trip was over, but now it seemed like he has to wait for a bit, before he could get the chance.
Sam didn't speak to them on their training and left them to take rest after the long arduous journey for the six months.
At this moment, in an island of the beast faction.
Sanjay, appeared with Watt in tow. There is a formation in the open air on the island.
Watt's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Sanjay, the latter only replied with nonchalance, he took off the restraints on Watt and said.
"You don't have to feel restrained, feel at home. I will arrange residence with the core disciples of the faction and you can stay there, just feel around and see if you like it here. You can attend the lectures along with other disciples and will be treated the same.
If you have any problems, you can contact me.
I did tell your boss, that I will take care of you, but still your talent is good and your battle awareness and prowess are above average.
I think you have great potential and if you like it, you can join our faction as I feel that your boss would be joining here very soon."
Watt stayed silent for a second and said.
"I think it is better if you start finding another faction to join."
Sanjay frowned and asked. "What do you mean?"
Watt stood up and said. "You will know exactly what I mean in one year."
With those words, he started walking confidently and even gestured for Sanjay to lead the way. This puzzled Sanjay, this is not how a person who was abducted would behave.
He was confused on where Watt got this confidence from. As for Watt, he himself took this chance as another training exercise. It is just a year and since this place is one of the six major powers, then there is no reason for him to give up a chance to get the battle experience of fighting the elites of this organization.
He would be an idiot if he gave up this opportunity.
At this moment, Sam is taking a shower. He let go of all his powers and is taking in the cold water pouring on him.
There are some bruises on his body and they started to sting when they came in contact with the water, but there is no expression on his face. He just closed his eyes and was taking everything in.
Two days passed and soon, the day for inauguration is here. For these two days, Sam didn't meet anyone, even though there are some administrative matters to deal with, he didn't bother coming out as he wanted to do nothing but rest for some time period.
Philip and Jack took it up on themselves to greet the invited guests and arranging them accommodation, in the newly built hotel.
The hotel situation is completely new for these guests. They were completely stunned by the presence of the room service and the house-keeping. All they knew are inns and guest houses. A multi-storey hotel is definitely a new thing.
Some of the Dukes who have never met Sam also came and they have been complaining about Sam not receiving them personally.
For that, Philip went to Arc and said few words.
"Sam is completely pissed and not in a good mood and your Dukes seemed to have some verbal diarrhoea."
He just left his statement went on to do his own work.
Actually, these Dukes only want to test some waters, they were warned by Arc not piss off Sam and how dangerous he could be. But these geezers didn't give Sam much credit, at most they thought he was intelligent with his inventions, but that's it.
After all, people tend to judge others by their own standards, but their actions resulted them to pay a price. That night, Arc went to all the hotel rooms and gave a good beating to every duke.
On the day of inauguration, Sam showed up.
He is back to usual self, there are no signs of anger of frustration of Watt's disappearance. He is back to his cold, smart and difficult to read self. The inauguration took up the whole day and all kinds of things are being explained one by one.
There are even visits to some factories, where the Power hammers and Circular saws which can be used for cutting metals and are run by the steam engines are being tested. He didn't show them the full production line, but showed the testing phases and demonstrations.
After the whole day, there was a banquet at night, where all the guests gathered and exchanged pleasantries and widened their connections, Sam only stayed there for a few minutes and left to meeting room.
Inside, Arthur is sitting with his two more subordinates. He sat opposite to them and said.
"You have seen, what I can do. I can provide many things to the thunder god temple and since, we don't have much animosity, I don't mind partnering with you., Anyway, I want to enter the society of the six major powers.
As for shadow sword…"
He paused and took out the shadow sword and let the sword release its might aura.
"I gained the acknowledgement and it is mine now. I have an alternative for this."
Sam placed a spatial ring on the table and continued.
"You go back and show this to higherups. If possible, go straight to the temple head and tell him that I have ten times more of what is inside this ring and I am willing to offer it to you in exchange…. "
He went on to explain what he brings to the table and their discussion went on for more than two hours.
After that, the three of them from the thunder-god temple got their restraints lose and they left the place with the scrolls.
Sam went back to his room in the sky scr.a.p.er the top floor as he looked at the new city. He would be earning hundreds of millions in a single day and the first day's income alone will be in billions. The hundreds of millions of people in the continent are all his customers. He essentially took away businesses from many families, he made the products of the four major towers accessible to the people and there is an extreme attraction of the park.
The businesses from many noble families and other merchants would be completely down, at least in the Dukedom capitals.
The other cities still have business potential, but the major business happens in the Dukedom capitals. They are all gritting their teeth in anger, but they could do nothing.
All they can do is hold it in and shut their mouths.
Sam started sorting his thoughts out on what happened until now and what will happen in the future.
It has been a little more than a year since the palace of inheritances and there is still around two years for it to open again and from his cultivation speed, Sam would be in Nascent stage.
As for the exact cultivation level, he doesn't know as there are many possibilities on how long it would take him to reform his body and the mental strength.
And there is another issue as it would take longer periods of time to even have a minor breakthrough as he continued on improving and in the Nascent stage, he might even spend more than a year in the initial three stages.
As for other things, he has to visit the Beast faction as soon as possible. He doesn't know why, but Sam felt that Sanjay has more reasons than the shadow sword to force him to visit the beast faction.
His actions are too defensive and he is not even willing to do any damage to Sam as there is definitely a choice of beating Sam up and take him forcefully.
Of course, that is only a choice and no one knows the final result. But from Sam's state at that point, that is indeed a feasible option with fifty percent of success.
Sam threw that thought to the back of his mind, no matter the reason, he has to go and find that guy as fast as he can.
But the problem is that Sam doesn't have any access to the information and the workings of the six major powers. He has too little information and how the things work in vicinities of the central continent.
As for the meteorite sand island, he has to wait for six more months before he could go there. As the accessible period of this year has already passed.
At the thought of the meteorite sand, Sam suddenly remembered the guy who uses Blood Golems and went over to tell Jack about the matter.
Jack was stunned for a second, but went over to meet the killer of his father and when Sam came back to his room, he noticed that Philip is waiting for him at the entrance.
