Chapter 1348: Offer II
"Wait a minute Sam. You are saying your organization this and your organization that. But no matter how far I dug into your past, I couldn't find anything related to your organization. You are giving these statements that it is all that great, but how can I be sure of it?"
Giyon asked solemnly.
Sam chuckled and said.
"Of course, you wouldn't be able to find it. It was way too far away from here that I am sure that even if I took wormholes connecting constantly I will take more than two weeks to go there."
"Two weeks? Are you crazy? You could cross over hundreds of realms in that time."
"Exactly my point. My organization's influence is too far away and it is definitely not among the top-rated powers like yours. Of course, that doesn't mean my organization is actually that weak. It is actually pretty strong."
"Really? Why don't you tell me about it? You might be able to convince me of adapting to your method."
"Actually, if you consider the overall strength, my organization is considered weak compared to the clans here and even some of your subordinate organizations. The strongest subordinate I have when I was thrown into this situation is a Middle stage consummate cultivator of the Astral Plane. He is called Night Ghost.
But I am sure that I have more Astral Plane Initiation cultivators than your clan and Mari Clan combined.
And not all of them are aged with burned-out potential. Most of them are young and have a lot of potentials, all growing at the same time. I have a decent number of Astral plane Pre-transcendent cultivators and a few Astral Plane, Transcendent cultivators.
Of course, I am speaking about the people who are completely loyal to my organization without the use of any force.
I have some other types of subordinates that are considered more like slaves. So, if you count them, then I would be able to compete with Golem Sect, everyone except the top brass with a bunch of Late stage consummate cultivators of Astral Plane.
As for Mortal Plane Cultivators, of your organizations would be able to compete with me. I am sure that in the next decade, I will completely overtake your organization in terms of Astral Plane Pre-transcendent cultivators, and even the Astral Plane Transcendent cultivators would the same as your organization if things go well.
In three decades, my organization will overtake the Gaja Clan in terms of forces. Of course, if you count pure influence, I already surpassed you guys, because my organization's influence is definitely in far more realms than the Gaja Clan. I have businesses in a lot of realms and I have a relatively notable intelligence network."
Giyon was surprised and didn't even speak for a second.
"If you are that strong, why are you going around destroying organizations on your own. You could wage a proper war. Why risk so much like this by moving with such a small group."
"My thinking is exactly the opposite. Currently, with my team, I am a much smaller target. The organizations wouldn't see me coming. I just make deals with different people if I want extra manpower.
This is also much more fun."
"Yeah, look where your fun led you to."
Sam didn't have an answer for that. So, Giyon continued.
"Let's ȧssume everything about your organization you just said is completely true, why would you give such a core foundational structure of your organization to me. I am pretty sure this is more valuable than some of your products.
I don't suppose you are giving me because you are lost in my beauty."
Sam shook his head with a chuckle and said.
"I want you to be the face of mine and Grivon's operations from now on."
"Face of your operations?"
"Yes. I want you to make deals with the rest of the young masters with my previous products. I need them to be the decoys to completely throw Sivan off. But I don't want to do it with Grivon as the mediator."
"And why is that?"
"He is not ready. At first, I thought we could manage, but the way the league is doing things and Grivon's subordinates, I don't think he is ready yet.
In fact, he is not even ready to be a proper successor candidate. I am really surprised that he managed to keep all of his secret businesses together without moles completely infesting them. It would take a lot more time to pull such a large operation with him."
"But if you switch to me, wouldn't Grivon suffer the loss. He would be sidelined."
"That is not going to happen at all. I have a plan for that. I will be making new products for Grivon and he would be focusing on developing his new businesses and taking over the businesses of his peers."
"But you are also selling the new business ideas to the same people you are stealing businesses from. Isn't that a bit contradictory?"
"Of course, yes. But the solution is not that difficult for this problem. All I have to do is divide the businesses of the peers into two. The larger part would be where Grivons new secret businesses would wreak havoc and this large part would be the places where they originally had secret businesses.
When I offer them my old business ideas, they would only be applicable in the business they are operating on behalf of the clan and while the clan takes most of the profit away from that place, they would have less money, to begin with and in that small portion, you would be taking a piece and giving Grivon a piece."
"So, not only you are using them as decoys to mislead Sivan, you are crippling their financial resources they would be getting from their secret businesses and also reducing their share in their clan-related businesses.
You are giving them big, but what you are taking from them is bigger, but they wouldn't even know that a single person is doing both of these things. In the process, Grivon is the one benefitting from this situation as a whole as his financial resources will keep on increasing.
You are too cruel aren't you?"
"It is a necessary quality for survival."
"The whole idea is great. But I am a bit skeptical about your organizational structure. I couldn't wrap my head around it."
Sam thought for a moment and answered.
"I have an idea. Why don't you round up twenty kids? All below fifteen and a few months for their awakening.
Divide them into two groups. One group would be left alone. They would just proceed with their normal lives. But the second group would be different. I will teach them myself since there are no teachers trained yet.
When they awakened, let's have them battle. See who has better usage of energy in their raw form.
If you are satisfied with the result. We can move along with the exchange."
"I am down for that."
With that, they shook their hands, and Giyon changed the topic.
"Let's talk something else other than business. What do you think of my sister?"
"She is perceptive."
Giyon was dumbfounded for a second and asked.
"Really that is what you noticed from all of that?"
"That is what mattered among all the things I observed. She is unusually perceptive. Maybe it is because of her artistic mindset, she perceives everything in the world like art and she did the same with me.
Just like she could read the art, she could also read my current state."
"That's it? Nothing else mattered?"
"I didn't listen to her play, so that is all for now."
"How does she look?"
"She could be considered good-looking."
"considered? What is wrong with you? Are all your organs working properly?"
Sam looked at her with a frown. Giyon also realized that she babbled a bit too much and said.
"I am sorry. But aren't you the least bit attracted to her?"
"Physically, a bit. But that is just a biological reaction."
"Of course, attraction always starts with the biological reaction. Then why didn't you say that when I asked you about her."
Sam sighed and said.
"What are you driving at Ms. Giyon? Please don't beat around the bush."
"Are you interested in her?"
"A romantic interest?"
"Yes."
"No."
"You just said you are physically attracted to her. Why not?"
"If that is the case, I am physically attracted to you too. Should I pursue a romantic relationship with you too?"
Giyon's face turned red and she immediately became flustered.
Sam chuckled and said.
"If this is your attempt at a blind date, you are not really good at it."
Giyon sighed and said.
"You see, Jyon is a bit too naïve for her own good and she is not interested in increasing her forces and strength.. If she is like that, the clan would force her into a political marriage and all that would await her is endless suffering."
