It took around a half-an-hour for Sam to come to himself.
He tried his best to suppress the urges and instincts along with that feeling of him being a bloodthirsty monster that is bugging his mind constantly.
After trying his best to control, Sam became silent and sat in that same position as he closed his eyes and meditated.
He wants some peace at the moment and that moment continued for the rest of the day. He just sat there are meditated as if that is the only thing he wants to do in the world and only came out the next morning.
He finally lost that bugging feeling that is trying to take over his mind. He doesn"t want to come to terms with that feeling, a feeling of being a monster. He has a feeling that once he accepted it, the rest of his life would be miserable and uncontrollable. His cold and emotionless mind which he uses to do business and create things wouldn"t work like that anymore.
He might gain more power, but that didn"t outweigh the damage he has to suffer and the things he has to lose.
No one outside knew what Sam was going through. They just thought that he needed some rest after such a delicate procedure.
They just let him be. Rajan is still there waiting in the courtyard. Aruna is standing guard outside Ramya"s room, while Raunak stayed with Ramya.
Ramya woke up at dawn and managed to speak a few words with Raunak, but she is still a bit weak and exhausted.
When Sam came out, the trio is busy cooking in the kitchen. The three of them are not expert cooks, they barely know how to skin the meat and roast it on fire, so when Sam saw them trying their best to make something in the kitchen, he didn"t know whether he has to laugh or cry.
"What the h.e.l.l are you guys doing?"
He asked them which made them stop in their tracks.
Philip heaved a sigh and spoke.
"Thank G.o.d, you woke up. The atmosphere in the house is weird since last night. Rajan doesn"t want to leave and stayed in the front yard which is already enough to get attention. While Aruna is wary of him and stood guard at the door and finally Raunak refused to even move a bit until he confirmed that she is alright.
And the awkwardness increased only after she woke up in the morning. Now Rajan is adamant about seeing her while Aruna is even more adamant on stopping him. Raunak who is the cause of all this is not even thinking of leaving the room.
At first, it was entertaining to see, but soon we realized we would be stuck in this if we don"t excuse ourselves and here we are."
"You could have gone out. Why are you destroying the kitchen? Why are you cooking anyway?"
"Ramya is exhausted. As much as we are not against her staying here. We can"t take it anymore. If she recovered, she would leave and all this awkwardness will be gone."
Sam shook his head with a smile and said.
"Get out, all three of you. I will cook."
The three of them left the kitchen helplessly and Sam went on to cook. After he finished a simple meal, he took it to Ramya"s room. Aruna saw it was him and made way while looked at Rajan who is waiting in the front yard with a hostile gaze.
*Knock* *Knock*
Sam knocked on the door and after a minute, Raunak answered.
"Come in."
He went in and placed the food on the side table of the bed and asked Ramya.
"How are you feeling?"
Ramya is indeed a bit weak, but she is in a much better condition than last night. The green hue on her skin was gone and her aura is a bit stronger and stable. She gave a faint smile and said.
"I am feeling great. Thank you for saving me."
Sam also smiled involuntarily and said.
"Don"t mention it. If you are any other person, I might not have gone through that trouble. I saved you because of Raunak. I apologize if I am being blunt, but that is indeed the truth."
"That doesn"t make me feel any grateful."
Sam shook his head and said.
"Eat the food while it is still hot. After that, meet your father if you can. He is a major help in saving you. I don"t have enough confidence to do that without his help."
With that, he patted Raunak"s shoulder and left.
Sam went to meet Rajan.
"Why are you so adamant about meeting her now? Isn"t it too late to make amends?" Sam asked casually.
Rajan didn"t speak for a second and said.
"I apologize for all the things I did to you."
Sam just stayed silent.
"I am not here to make amends, I just want to say goodbye."
"Good luck then."
Sam went back to do his own thing.
After an hour, Ramya indeed met with Rajan and at that time, even Raunak was out of the room. n.o.body knows what they talked about. But after they came out, Rajan didn"t speak to anyone. He just thanked Sam and left the place.
That day"s trial was canceled and a golden armored guy came and informed that Rajan will be fulfilling his agreement.
By evening, Sam is in a meeting with Professor and Galvin. They came for the products. But even they are baffled by the amount that was given out by Sam.
"Thirty Billion. The original price. With the discount I promised, it will be twenty-seven billion. And with a bet between the professor and me, it would be fifty-four billion. I would be okay with fifty billion."
When Sam gave these numbers, both of them felt their throats dry.
"Do you know how much fifty billion is? Even Rajan"s family a.s.sets on the whole combined would only be around three hundred billion and there might only be two to three families that are richer than him."
Sam thought for a second and said.
"Elves are richer than I thought. I wonder how they managed to earn so much."
"Not as easily as you," Galvin said through the gritted teeth and took a deep breath before he continued.
"We can only offer a thirty-five billion to you."
"That"s way too low. I am already losing ten billion out of courtesy. And you are even reducing another fifteen billion. That wouldn"t happen."
"Thirty-seven"
"No."
"Forty."
"No way."
"Forty-two and that"s final." We can"t do any more than that.
Sam went into deep thought and after some time, he nodded his head.
"Sure, I will agree."
With that, the deal was signed. Sam is ecstatic inside, even though he is showing a sad expression.
But he won big in this deal. In fact this one of the biggest deals he ever made. In Desolate realm, he earns a lot and even a lot more than this, but that comes from the work of thousands of people. Now he just sold some plans and designs along with his workers training some other people, this is the easiest money he can ever make.
He is growing to like this place more and more.
After that, he went back to relax a bit.
Ramya stayed at their residence for the next three days. After that, she moved out and went to Raunak"s residence.
All that was left is a wedding ceremony which they decided to arrange soon enough.
She didn"t go to the higher realm selections anymore. On that day, they received the news of Ramana"s death, this surprised them a lot. They didn"t expect that Rajan can be so ruthless. Killing his own son, for his daughter, even made them think twice and reevaluate his love for Ramya.
After they settled in, Raunak decided to go back to his work. They couldn"t decide on when to have their wedding, so he decided to wait for a while and finish the work.
It"s about Sam"s school.
He procured some land in the outskirts from the government and Sam bought it.
This is going to be the largest campus in the capital and it is going to be as large as a n.o.ble estate. In fact, more than half of the n.o.ble estates are not even as large as this.
Now Sam needs a construction company for this and ironically, Braman"s is the best option he has.
He really wondered if Braman will take the deal, but to his surprise, he did take the deal and this time he is a lot of meek and tolerable.
The Biofuel treatment can treat stupidity to some extent.
This is great for Sam. Except for that stupid arrogance of that guy, there is nothing that Sam can fault him for.
He is good in all the other aspects.
The construction project was the biggest in the city and with this, their company will surpa.s.s their compet.i.tors by miles, so Braman called for every builder he has on his hands and decided to put all his manpower on this.
The plans are given by Sam which reduced his workload.
Sam is building the same campus he has on the desolate planet. He is building a school of exact replica.
