Chapter 1204: Target Arrived
Chapter 1204: Target Arrived
The next day, Noah went back to the branch office according to the plan. The assistant manager was in glee at her arrival, but he didn’t show it on his face.
All he showed was some confusion and when he looked at her expression showing her struggle to say something, he decided to push it a little bit.
“I asked my manager about your request yesterday and he contacted the assistant of the Myriad beast sect’s representative, he didn’t agree to your request.
They would probably buy things and even agreeing to your proposal might be a bit difficult. After all, your sister Noah did too much damage to them both in terms of resources, personnel, and reputation.
It would be hard for us to just bargain that kind of enemy from them. After all, she is worth at least a city.”
Noah looked at him and then looked down as if she was thinking something. She bit her lips and clenched her fists, showing her struggle.
After some time, she sighed and took something out.
It is a large scroll.
A large scroll that didn’t even fit in the table of the Assistant Manager.
“I want you to take a look at this.”
After she spread the scroll on the table, the assistant manager was surprised. This looked like a construction project and it is the blueprint of the final product.
Noah spread the scroll properly and took out a scroll. She placed it in the middle of the scroll where there seemed to be a fountain represented in the blueprint.
She activated the formation disc and the blueprint started glowing. All the lines on the blueprint glowed and soon formed a wired mesh that soon turned into a solid hologram that showed the three-dimensional virtual image of the whole city.
The assistant manager was shocked.
“What is this?”
He asked as he looked bewildered. Noah didn’t immediately speak, rather she took out a ring and wore it before she touched the fountain in the middle. A bunch of thin light barriers appeared on the holographic blueprint and surrounded it.
“This is the blueprint of the city I designed. This is a city with defenses perfectly suitable to build in an area with rich wood elemental energy.”
She explained as she tapped on the hologram in various places showing different defensive mechanisms.
The Assistant Manager was bewildered, but not just by the city blueprint, but also by the presentation itself.
“How did you create this blueprint?”
“The city design?”
“No, the blueprint presentation.”
“I didn’t create it. I had someone do it for me. I designed the city and the formations all by myself and gave normal blueprints to that person from my realm. Then he used all that to create this.”
As she spoke, she turned the ring on her finger a bit which changed the image. The buildings slowly disappeared and the whole project went to the foundational level showing how the foundation should be dug for the construction.
Then she tapped once again showing the next phase of the construction. Like that she went on and on showing which building should be built first, what are the buildings that are connected to the base formation, and so on.
The Assistant manager just silently looked at the whole presentation.
“I can use this blueprint to cut some kind of deal.” Noah said as she wrapped the blueprint up and finally, the Assistant manager came out of his daze.
“What kind of deal do you want?”
“A deal in which I wouldn’t suffer too much of a loss and a chance to meet a representative from the Myriad Beast sect who can guarantee my sister to me.”
“Are you sure that is all you want?” The Assistant manager asked in doubt.
“Yes.”
“The person who created that blueprint presentation, who is he? Where can I find him?”
“He is a person from back home. He is also an inventor. We worked on some projects together. This is a technology he has been working on for a long time. If I am not wrong the people that were after me were also after him. We escaped at the same time.”
The Assistant manager’s eyes brightened and he excitedly stood up before asking.
“Where is he now? Do you know?”
Noah looked at him awkwardly with how agitated he is.
“I may have a possible way to contact him…” Her voice trailed off. The Assistant manager understood her hesitation and said.
“Rona, please wait in the branch for a while. I will give you an answer right away. But, can you give me that demonstration one more time, I would like to record it and show it to my superior.”
“I have something that might help you.” She said and gave out a formation disc which is embedded with some recording crystals.
“This is also one of his creations, this will allow you to show the essence of the blueprint presentation properly.” She gave a slight demonstration and then the assistant manager left while Noah was escorted by someone to her residence.
After making sure that no one was near her, she took out the communication device and contacted Sam and Kumar.
“I think they took the bait. I am sure this will work. Do you have any leads? Not yet. But I think we don’t need to worry too much. As long we get to meet that person, we can find a way to capture him.”
“Then why don’t you just leave that surveillance on the space gate. Since he is coming definitely.”
“Just a contingency. Let us just wait.”
Kumar just listened silently. He was just being filled with the info so that he wouldn’t stay out of the loop. He is preparing for something that could be useful when the fight breaks out.
After that, they just waited.
Two hours later, the Assistant manager directly came to Noah and said.
“We found a way to get you to meet that person.
When the representative arrives, the branch manager will take him here for the demonstration of the blueprint. He kept the formation disc to himself to show the representative and he will bring him here.
You would be introduced as the designer of that blueprint. You can make the request then. We will only be mediators in this sale and we will take ten percent as commission whatever you get from the Myriad Beast sect, we will get ten percent only.
If you don’t get anything, you don’t have to give us anything.
But you have to introduce us to the person who created the presentation.”
Noah went into deep thought and said.
“It is a deal.”
“That is great. You can stay here if you want. The meeting will be tomorrow morning. Three hours after the sunrise. You can directly come here.”
“Thank you. I will be leaving for now. I still have something to do.”
“Okay then.”
Noah left and came out of the city. She went into the forest directly to where Sam is.
Kumar followed after her.
They waited for the night and Sam just stood there as he maintained the surveillance.
At midnight, he finally saw something in the surveillance for the first time.
The old man who is staying in the underground room entered the other tunnel that led to the smaller room.
After he entered the formation glowed suddenly and a middle-aged man arrived.
“It seems like our target is here,” Sam said to his teammates.
They just nodded and proceeded with their preparations.
Sam let all the remaining shadow mice out and gave them to Noah.
She took out a bunch of Marbles of various kinds and gave them to the mice.
They stored all of them in their storage devices and went to do their assigned tasks.
They only have one shot tomorrow and they need to cover all the bases.
So, Sam also gave his traps to some of the shadow mice so that they would set up in his desired locations.
While they are busy preparing, their target is conversing with the branch manager.
Currently, the branch manager and the target are sitting in the front room while drinking. The target already gave all the things that need to be sold and asked.
“Are there any interesting things that I need to know about?”
The manager smiled and said.
“In fact, there is. A very interesting thing, that came knocking on your door, and only the Myriad Beast sect has the opportunity to get it. Even if the other parties want it, they wouldn’t be able to have it.”
“Oh really? What is that?”
The manager took out the formation plate and said.
“This is the video of something that we got. A blueprint of the city. This is just the demo version without many details, but if you agree to the deal, you would be able to see the real one.”
With that, he activated the formation and at this exact moment, Sam smiled.
All this while, the underground room was sealed with a formation that prevents all kinds of communication with outside, but now that the plate is activated it doesn’t. At least as long as the formation is active he could hear it.
