Chapter 764: To The Planet 1
Chapter 764: To The Planet 1
Ramana didn’t want to stay in Planet 2 and ran out of the restaurant and went to the Wormhole zone.
He crossed the portal and took a flying beast at its top speed to meet with his father. He doesn’t want to wait for a minute longer.
When he landed in their family estate, he threw all the etiquette and the formalities out of the window and barged into the mansion where his father is having the meeting with some of his subordinates.
He looked at the subordinates and who are looking at him with a surprised look and yelled.
“Get out.”
Rajan frowned but he didn’t reprimand his son and told the group.
“We will talk later, leave.”
He then looked at his son and said.
“Take a seat and calm down before speaking.”
Ramana did as he was told and sat down in the chair nearby and started chugging the alcohol that was placed on the table.
After a good minute, Rajan spoke.
“What happened? The plan failed?”
“Failed, it is the epitome of the failure. He was already prepared for this.”
“What do you mean?”
“Not only did we get what we wanted, but we also lost all the advantage we have over him. The time. He not only panicked but he played me around and fed bullshit for days. His tax target is finished and even the paperwork for the promotion was done. He would be promoted to Planet 1 within a week and his position would be most likely in the Capital.
He has been hiding it from everyone while he prepared the paperwork beforehand and only filled in the numbers at the last minute. He is coming to the capital and your daughter is gone. They would demand you to uphold your end of the deal.”
Ramana is too frustrated and angry. It is almost incomprehensible.
But Rajan is still extremely calm. He looked at his son and said.
“Why are you overreacting? Your emotions are all over the place.”
“What do you mean overreacting? She is supposed to be sent to that place and she is supposed to be my support to enter that place. I don’t want to meddle in politics, but to enter the military of that place, I need some support. She is the only one with enough political acumen and gets the position of a bureaucrat there. I can’t let this little shit take her away.
All my future will be ruined.”
“First get that thought out of your head and start thinking about how to fix it. Now tell me, what the possible ways to deal with him are.”
Ramana took a deep breath and started thinking. This is like one of the training sessions he had with his father. He is dumb in terms of schemes and manipulations. In fact, he is not even as smart as Sam thought he was and all the schemes he came up with are drilled into his head from his father so that he would never forget.
He has zero political acumen that is why he didn’t join the bureaucracy. All he has is the battle attainments he gained through the rigorous training. He would rather fight a hundred battles than sit in a room with the politicians, all he ever wanted is to be a part of the elites and there is only one place he has in his mind.
He wants to get into the military unit of that place and train with the best of the best. But that place is even more chaotic than the Charbhum realm and the politics is completely ingrained into every field and that includes the military.
If he went there directly as a commoner, it would have been okay. He would just base his achievements on his own efforts, but now the situation is different. His identity wouldn’t allow him to stay neutral in the political influence.
That is why he wants his sister who is good with politics to enter there and have his back. That was the plan from the start, but Raunak came in and made her fall in love with him and he is now sure that the situation wouldn’t go as he wanted.
No matter how much she tried to convince him that with Raunak both of them could help him, he is not convinced. He is so stuck up on Raunak’s identity.
He thought for a few minutes and said.
“The easiest way to make this problem disappear is to kill him.”
*PAK*
A slap was landed on the back of his head and rung his ears, this is the old method that used to show his father’s, tough love.
“We are in the middle of elections and Raunak is known for our deal and his tremendous growth is currently under the supervision of the elders. Do you really think I didn’t want to kill him? Why do you think I even sent the forces to kill the person that is helping him and not him directly? Think again.”
“Transfer him to a distant place instead of the Capital and buy enough time to make our plan work.”
*PAK*
“The promotion was under the direct order of the elder’s committee. Do you think we can influence the elders too much? We would already be using all the favors they owe us just to get you and your sister into the quota and you want to ask another favor to suppress the prodigy they are counting on? Think again.”
Ramana thought deeply and said.
“I cannot think of what to do. Please tell me.”
For the first time, Rajan didn’t hit him and said.
“Now you finally remembered what I taught. Ask someone when who knows how to do things when you are not capable of doing that.
And to this point, we will make him transfer to the capital and we will keep him right under our vision. This planet is our domain, we will make him stay here and not let him grow. He just achieved what was agreed upon. We will use the elections as an excuse to make him halt the agreement and then we will send you both to that place after the elections are over.
Then we can slowly clean him up.”
Ramana thought for a moment and they went on discussing their plan and started executing it for the next few days.
On the Planet 2
For the next week, the situation is extremely smooth sailing, Raunak’s promotion was confirmed but it took a week for the exact posting to be known and to their relief, he was posted in the Capital.
In fact, he might even be the youngest officer in the business administration in the Planet 1 Capital.
They decided to travel immediately.
The base is still working normally. But they are not exactly producing. The old crew is just training the new employees so that they could be useful for the next deals.
They hired the best mercenary group from the Planet 2 to guard the place. Anyway, there is nothing valuable here.
The machines may be useful for them to create a single assembly line and that’s it. The machine would be destroyed if they tried to replicate it.
Sam and the group decided to go to planet one.
They went to the Portal station where the identities of the people are verified.
They checked in and walked into a large stone room with a metallic door full of inscriptions and formations.
Sam couldn’t even see any energy fluctuations even with the energy vision. It might be his power level and the inscriptions that are drawn to mask the energy are just too good. But it is working great either way.
The metal door was opened by a guard who is actually an Initial stage Transcendent cultivator.
They couldn’t see what is inside the door. This is the first time Sam coming in contact with a wormhole and he wants to see just how this works. But he couldn’t because as soon as he walked in he felt like he lost his breath and was sucked in.
He felt like he was thrown into a vacuum. His body parts felt like they want to come out body tearing through the skin and flesh.
But at this moment, weird energy enveloped him and the best guess the people had is that the spatial energy creating a small enveloped moving space which also trapped some air and the feeling returned to normal and before long they finally saw some light as they saw the similar doorway with a different guard waiting for them to come out and close the door.
Sam and the trio are looking at each other in amazement. This is similar to a space gate, but the effect is different. It is similar to the dimensional drifter but it was more natural.
Except for the small shake in their innards, the travel is normal.
After that, they went out and entered the capital city.
Sam is surprised by the beauty of the city. The streets are bustling and there are just too many people. Most of them are elves and the second most are Centaurs, while humans are very few.
They went to an area where they could find the inn while Raunak looked for a more stable residence where they don’t have to pay daily after he finished his joining process.
