Chapter 1329: Academy
Migron looked at Grivon with suspicion.
"You have a tip and you are coming to me with that. Come on Grivon, you can do better than that if you really want to trap me."
"Who said, I am trapping you. This is real, whether you believe me or not."
"So, explain. Why did you come to me with such a piece of information? We are not close enough to share such a large credit with each other."
"Because I want to be on the down low for now. I just took over one of the organizations under the Mari Clan and that too one of the organizations under Sivan. There is just too much attention on me. The previous generation successor candidates are currently targeting me. I already picked traces on their movements, so I cannot move a large-scale force by myself and I also don't want to attract any attention."
"So, you want to partner with me?"
"Yes, but I wouldn't be a complete partner. I will give you the information and I would only give out ten percent of the total forces that are needed. I would only take one planet in return for that."
"Only one planet? Grivon, why do you think this deal is too good to be true? You could just wait until this is over and you would be able to take the whole realm for yourself, why are you giving me this? I cannot wrap my head around this."
"I don't care about your suspicions Migron, I have my own troubles, but this thing needs to be done now. If you want the truth, I can give you this. The information I have wouldn't be useful after a certain period of time.
From what I know, the Mari Clan has attracted some new enemy and from the information, I gathered, the enemy is moving solo and is targeting various branches. Currently, he is their biggest headache and this is one of the open areas on which the focus has been reduced because the young master kept this place completely secret from the rest of the clan.
But this is run by some of his main forces, which he needs to move to defend against this mysterious enemy. This would be the perfect time to take that down and I cannot take that down. So, I am giving this to you."
"But you have some people who have a closer relationship with you. You can give this to them, why are you coming to me? We don't have the best of the relationships."
"They don't have the capability to move the forces in such a short time frame. If I have to make a deal with them about this situation, I would have to go to at least three people to gather enough forces to meet the requirements, but you can move them within a day.
And I also want that planet.
I have some plans for the metal mine. I got my hands some blueprints and that metal is a necessity for that."
"What kind of blueprints?"
"That is the information that is completely irrelevant to our cooperation. Now, if you want to make a deal, this is a perfect time.
In normal times, there is no way I would cooperate with you, but this time, we are the perfect match."
"Let me think about it for a while. I will answer you an answer tomorrow."
"Deal."
Grivon then left and started preparing his forces. But as Migron thought, he is not moving some small amount of forces, rather he is moving a large scale force so that they could move from different directions.
He sent messages to the subordinates who are spread across different realms and sent people to them with a bunch of instructions. He recalled some of his mother's secret forces which she gifted to him and gave them these tasks.
He picked a few and ȧssigned them teams along with the missions they have to complete.
That very night while Migron consulted his mother regarding Grivon's plan, Grivon sent hundreds of people to complete various small missions.
The next day, he went to meet Migron once again.
"I will agree to this deal, but you have to share the information regarding the blueprints."
"I am sorry, that is unacceptable."
"Once you start a business with that, I am bound to find out. If it is a good one, I can reduce my percentage share in the current conquest and both of us can gain from it."
"It is not for the business. It is for a construction project. I am solidifying my defenses and this metal can be an addition to a special alloy required for that construction project. I am not entering any other business at the moment and not any business related to that mine."
Migron looked at him deeply for a moment before saying.
"Okay, then. Deal. But my people will lead the complete operation and you guys should only operate on that one planet. As for the rest of the realm, they are only responsible for giving out information."
"I am okay with that. But I have another request."
"What is it?"
"The conquest should be over within the two months. No matter how slow it is, we need to finish it off in two months. The young master wouldn't be able to send forces for a while, at least not his full forces, but the longer we wait, the more problematic our situation would be."
"Don't worry. I am not really looking forward to hogging all the territory. I would destroy most of it and take the only places left with the resources under control.
I have a special team that is good at surveillance and ȧssassinations, once the forces of that Mari Clan member are involved, they would take action and if possible we would ȧssassinate the young master himself, so there wouldn't be much problem for us."
"You can deal with it however you want. My only requirement is regarding the time limit."
"Then you don't have to worry about it. I can handle it."
With that, both of them shook their hands and went on their own ways. They agreed upon the place where the two of their teams will meet and gave out the information regarding the team leaders, now the cooperation is solidified.
After that was done, Grivon kept an eye on the actions of the rest of his subordinates who were sent outside, but he also kept a bit of a high profile as he started the project openly in the clan.
He decided to open an academy with a different curriculum than normal. A curriculum is similar to the one that Sam had back in the desolate.
The members who graduate the academy will be recruited by the clan members into various divisions, either into personal forces of the young masters, clan guards, enforcement department, Clan research groups, and so on.
They didn't expect that Grivon would be this generous regarding something like this. They all believed that they would just keep the idea to themselves and open an academy in a lower realm and recruit the candidates directly, but they didn't complain since such an opportunity came knocking on their door.
Grivon went as far as to involve some of the other young masters into the idea and he made them keep the big profile to the point when the idea was made public and known to the lesser members of the clan, no one knew who the idea really came from except for the elders and the young masters themselves.
The elders have no reason to divulge the information and the young masters don't want to divulge the information as they want the credit for themselves. So, the project started.
Migron didn't care about this project at all and he just figured that Grivon is planning something else with others to escape the heat from the previous generation candidates that are targeting him.
He figured it was a great strategy and only cared about the conquest.
But what he doesn't know is that grivon is really happy that Mirgon has felt such way and he is even more glad that other young masters readily took credit for the academy idea, because this is all the part of a big plan.
And this is just the first step.
After he gained enough attention, Grivon once again secretly met with another one of the young masters within the clan.
He is one of the three biggest prospects and also a perfect cover for what Grivon wants.
