nSam reached the place the next morning and entered the sect. Arc already took care of the half-dead ancestor. He is more injured than they thought.

nArkiv already entered the library to get that secret art.

nPhilip and Sirona wanted some alone time as they themselves are responsible for the destruction of their former homes.

nAt this moment, Sam went to the last remaining grand elder who is severely injured and, in a state, similar to the meat on a chopping block.

nHe just woke up, but that is due to the pain Sam had inflicted not because of his recovery.

nThen the discussion started.

nSam felt that it would be a loss to let a Consummate realm cultivator go, only his association with the Usaine sect is the enmity they had.

nThere is nothing else other than that, if this guy can let go of that prejudice, there is no need for them to stand against each other. He could use a strong subordinate.

nThis time, Sam didn't wear a disguise, he talked to him openly and after two hours of some serious convincing and considering the threat to his life, he agreed. Sam reluctantly took out a glass of wine from his gourd and gave him, so that he would leave.

nAfter the injuries came to a moderate state, he could heal himself. Anyway, the glass of wine did more than moderate recovery. The Pill of servitude did the rest of it.

nFor the next two weeks, all Sam did is to manage the land he newly acquired Half of the major people of the Yellow Sand Island moved to the Usaine sect. Sam met with the Eastern continent emperor.

nHe is the only one Sam didn't do anything to. The remaining two empires under the Usaine sect are being regulated.

nThe professionals are absorbed into the organization and the titles they have as the professionals in the four organizations are already being eliminated. The association employees didn't have any choice and they could only join.

nThe architects and the other artisans came to the empires to finish the parks so that he could start his business.

nAt the same time, the parks in the Beast faction are also activated. Now, Sam doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

nAfter the activation, the construction team has come to the Usaine sect, to start another construction within the archipelago.

nThe communication system within the archipelago and the empires.

nIt also helps him with the training of the newly recruited artisans.

nThe other major powers didn't trouble them yet, as they are busy with all the things.

nAfter weeks, Sam started sorting out the gains and in one of the spatial rings which he figured out to be the spatial ring of the formation association head, he found something he urgently needs and that happened to be one of the boxes he has been searching.

nThis is the third box he got and he is halfway there and when the Island leader of the Yellow Sand Island saw this box, he was surprised.

n

"How can you have this? Isn't it the family heirloom of the Fire scale Island?

"

nSam was stunned, he just felt like he is already half-way there and is quite satisfied as most of the preparation phase is over and he would get what he wants in no time and the task just got easier.

nSam thought for a bit and looked at Martin asked.

n

"Do you have a good relationship with them?

"

n

"Not that close. We are the most neutral force of all the minor powers on the planet. Fire scale Island is one of the strongest minor powers.

"

n

"Well, we will see if we can get that box by cutting a deal before the friends of the other major powers come and talk to us.

"

nAnd the next three days, Sam went on this business trip and with some intimidation, coercion, and threats along with some valuable exchanges and simply put it is the carrot and stick.

nHe came back after the three days with the fourth box. Now only two left.

nAnd after two days, the call he has been waiting for finally came. From the space gate leading to the meeting spot of the central continent, the Envoy of the other five major powers came to meet with Arc who is on the front of the leader of the Usiane sect for others.

nHe still had a mask on his face and he and Sam decided to go to the meeting.

nWhen they arrived, Sam didn't go to the meeting directly, but they can still communicate with Arc through the communication devices and the portable hub he has on him.

nInside the meeting room, the major power heads all are waiting for him.

nIncluding, Sai. This time, it is not a matter of their parks and goals, it is a matter of a new power emerging in their community.

nThey have to find if they are worth that much to occupy the position as their equals.

n

"Hello, Nice to meet you. Your name?

"

nOld Thunder asked as soon as Arc took a sea.

n

"Clark.

" Arc replied. But it is not he thought of, Sam is the replying for everything that is happening here.

nSo, even though they are speaking with Arc, they are actually having a conversation with Sam.

n

"We never knew that a man named Clark is in the Yellow Sand Island. Where were you all these years?

"

n

"Staying low, I guess.

" His voice is somewhat cold as if he doesn't want to talk to them at all.

nBut the major powers didn't care at all, they just continued on with questioning.

n

"We heard that your fleet is actually quite excellent. We never know that yellow Sand Island has such skilled artisans?

"

n

"No, we don't actually have them. They were bought.

"

n

"Bought?

" Old thunder was stunned.

n

"Yes, Bought. Customized and specifically designed.

"

n

"Who sold you? The associations?

" Old thunder's voice is kind of agitated.

n

"No, actually. It is from someone you guys already knew earlier. His name is Sam. He has a city under his name and he seemed to be under your empire.

"

n

"What? Sam?

"

nOld thunder was stunned and so were the other heads. Sai has the minimum reaction because he already kind of guessed something before when the chaos started.

n

"Why would he sell you something? Is he open to a business like this? We didn't know that.

"

n

"No, it is a part of his revenge. He sold them solely because he wants to destroy the Usaine sect. he said that his friend had some past grudge with the Usaine sect.

nIn fact, he gave us the whole plan for this invasion.

nWe even made a deal with him about the parks.

"

n

"What did he take for that?

" This time lightning Spear sect head asked this question. He is pretty agitated about this. The parks are too big of an investment for letting it go.

"

n

"Well, he would pay a sum of money and gave ten percent of the profits. But I think he wouldn't accept such a deal with you guys.

"

n

"Why would that be?

"

n

"Working with some people who are accomplices of the thieves of his designs? Come on man. You should know he wouldn't agree to that easily.

"

nWith those words, all of a sudden, the conversation started diverting from skinning Arc with a question and pressuring them to do business with Sam.

n

"I have advice if you want to do business with him.

"

nWhen Arc said that the rest of them turned silent and looked at him to continue.

n

"Sam seemed to have been researching on some ancient puzzle boxes that he found and he learned that they are a set. He wants to find the last two boxes of the set to see if he could improve his formation and inscription expertise.

nIf you guys can find it and pay some compensation for all you did, you might get a deal.

"

n

"Puzzle Boxes?

"

n

"It's about time, I need to go.

"

nArc said and decided to leave, but no one stopped him. Everyone is thinking to themselves as they left one after another.

nTheir plan to grill Arc was gone through the window and everyone only wants their parks to go running. The percentage Arc said is definitely not acceptable, but they knew that they are going to find a way to cut a deal.

nAnd one of the first ones to consider this is the Old Thunder who got a cue as soon as he heard the Ancient Puzzle boxes and the second person who thought of this is actually the Beast faction head, Sai.

nBecause they had these puzzle boxes sitting in their own treasuries for hundreds of years without any use.

nSai decided that he would exchange it for some more friendship as for the Old Thunder, he wants to make some big money.

nMeanwhile, Sam left the Usaine sect along with Arc to complete another Invasion.

nThe other empire under the thunder god temple doesn't have to be independent anymore and by the end of the month, it would be under his control.
