Chapter 1334: Back to Business
The conflict was resolved way quicker than Sam had thought. He really underestimated the influence Grivon held within the clan. Not only did the elders not make any trouble, they even took their sons and left silently after the apology.
Milind completely deactivated the formation and came out. He happily waved at Grivon, but not once did he look at his own father.
Sam came out of the corner and walked towards them.
Milinid once again waved happily which Sam returned.
Milind's father looked at Sam. It is unusual for a person to be covered like this, with the face and even the limbs completely covered with black cloth, Sam is not revealing anything about him except for the eyes.
But he didn't care much and just left after he failed a few more times to communicate with his son.
Sam spent some time with Milind and gave them notes on a few more topics before leaving along with Grivon.
"What happened between that son and the father? They don't seem to get along very well."
"Well, Milind is pretty angry with his father, because when this whole thing with those idiots bullying him started, he didn't believe Milind's story at all. He ignored him for a few months and this made these idiots go crazy without any restraint. Only when things almost got out of hand did the father react and by then it was too late.
Milind didn't talk to him anymore. He listens to him sometimes and he does somethings his father told him to do which is the only form of acknowledgement he is giving him."
"So, classic father issues."
"Maybe."
"Okay, now that the show is over, let's get back to work. In the past two months we ignored your business side of things. Lets go and deal with it."
Grivon's eyes brightened and said.
"That is what I am looking forward to, the most."
"Of course, you would look forward to it, why wouldn't you? Anyway, I thought of something regarding our agreement."
"What is it?"
"The thing about Vardar. You didn't approach him yet, did you?"
"Not yet, I don't want to draw any unnecessary attention."
"That is great. Don't approach him by yourself. I forgot to consider this myself, but there is some problem here. Sivan definitely knew what was I doing in these realms and he definitely knew that I would be needing Vardar's heirloom.
If by any chance he kept his focus on that side, that would expose you and then me to him. So, we shouldn't meet Vardar by ourselves, but we still need to get the heirloom."
"Do you want to make a deal with another young master here?" Grivon asked as he thought of the possible candidates.
"That would be the best case scenario. This way, we could make another one of your peers as Sivan's target while we stay undercover a bit more.
But I don't think no matter what we offer, no one would be willing to be the mediator of such a large deal."
"I have a few people in mind who are fools enough to do so."
"Of course, there are always who can do the dirty work without the consequences but the problem is they would attract too much attention after the whole deal was over. They wouldn't be able to keep the new riches hidden and wouldn't know how to be discreet. Sooner or later, they would rat us out and the whole thing would be exposed.
Sivan would easily track us out and the whole thing would be out in the open."
"Then what should we do?"
"Let me think. Meanwhile, let's go and do some business. Let's target our friend Migron this time. Since the young man is busy taking the brunt of Sivan's attacks, we might as well take over his market share."
"I think it would be difficult. Migron took over the Restaurant and bars of many of his competitors within the realm and he has the largest chain at the moment."
"Well, that is indeed right. But there is always a way to snatch the market share back and trust me, this wouldn't even be difficult. Just bring me the details about the types of beasts that could be bred in the different areas of the realm
I will cook up some recipes and then we will think of the perfect plan to win the market."
"You have experience in this business too?"
"I do. My organization is involved in all kinds of things. From mercenary groups to the massage centers. There are just too many things we dabble in."
"Alright. I have a report of the Market research when we were first trying to enter the market. I will send it to you."
Sam went back to his room in the stray realm.
He went to the simulator model he made and started playing with it. The project is close to the ending. He can make the holographic images appear from his brain. The modelling function is perfectly working, the simulation function of the simulator is not working properly.
The simulator doesn't have enough knowledge and intelligence programmed into it to make it think and process the functions by itself, which he is working on. He has some ideas on how to add both of those things though.
As he was thinking, the Market research report came in.
The report is pretty detailed. The realm is divided into various planets and then into various regions within the planet and there is a detailed record of which animals are being bred and groomed and what kind of edible goods like herbs and fruits would be abundantly available through either the wild collection or through farming.
After looking through it for the rest of the day, Sam decided to take a different approach than before. He didn't use any modern techniques to make the restaurant layout. After all, there is a chance that Sivan might gain some of his memories and understand the layout and once again, he will get a lead to catch him.
But even if he went traditional style, Sam decided to experiment with food and some marketing strategies.
After all, Sivan only has Sam's memories and ideas, not his thinking. He might be able to get all kinds of knowledge and designs Sam possessed in those memories, but he wouldn't be able to get the new ideas Sam had in this new body.
He started making recipes up. Most of them he didn't even try, he just wrote them and down and let Grivon's people try them, by themselves.
After he was done with that, he gave out the ideas and Grivon made his business ȧssociate meet with the local lords who would be the face as well as the partners in the operation. The discussions were over in just a week and the recipes were also finalized.
Now, all that was left is to make sure that the restaurants are modelled properly and the marketing stunt they are trying to pull would work.
Meanwhile, Sam started thinking about the situation with Vardar.
He needs the heirlooms of the organization.
If his estimations are correct, the rest of the players might still be fighting with the remaining two organizations with the Middle stage Consuammate cultivators of Astral Plane as the leaders.
They are going to take their time, wearing the organizations down bit by bit while they took it over and obtained the heirlooms.
One of the organizations was already destroyed by Sivan and it is safe to ȧssume that the heirloom fell into Dayus's hands.
Currently, Sam couldn't access his wrist screen, which makes it apparent that he needs his body play the game.
But he is not willing to wait until he regains his body, because he doesn't know how long it will take for him to get the body back.
So, he decided that he would take over the heirlooms anyway. At least the ones that belong to the organizations that are a bit higher on the list.
Even if they are not counted as part of the game, he could at least make sure that the other players are not getting their hands on them.
And Vardar is the easiest of the three organizations to obtain the heirloom from. But it would be hard to hide his tracks no matter what method he used to get it from Vardar.
As he thought of many possibilities, he finally narrowed it down to a few and out of them, only one seemed most plausible with minimal damage to himself and also with minimal exposure of his active part in all of this.
But it is also the most unlikely scenario.
Still, he placed the idea in front of Grivon, and to Sam's surprise, Grivon actually agreed with the idea and even said.
"There is a perfect person for this job and I am sure we can convince them to keep the secret to the grave as long we are truthful and offer enough benefits."
