The next morning they saw the results of the cement.
Sam then placed his hand on the concrete slab and explained.
"You can use this directly and if you really doubt the structure"s integrity, then you can fuse it further so that the grains can be packed further."
The two soldiers examined the joints and the concrete slabs in every way they could think of. Even estimating the time taken to destroy it.
"How did you make this?"
"If you are asking about the invention, it was done by one of my subordinates who is not here. As for the recipe, you don"t expect me to reveal it do you?"
The Soldier just nodded his head and asked.
"Don"t give me the specifics, what are the type of ingredients?"
"Some from a beast that I rear and some from plants, it is not really that complicated. They can be reproduced easily."
They talked for some more and the soldiers decided to leave. The human shook hands with Sam and said.
"There is a possibility that we might meet again. See you then."
"See you."
Sam knew what he is talking about. Their next business deal might be related to the cement. Even though the military doesn"t belong to either of the factions, from the looks of it Sam could see another silent faction.
Even though this third faction is not involved in politics, from the looks of it they do have a significant influence and if Sam"s guess is right, they are deeper and dangerous than the normal factions.
Anyway, even if it is not for the cement, he already dropped a pretty direct hint about a possible weapon design he had in his hands. So there is no way they would just ignore that.
Sam couldn"t help but shake his head and smile. He liked selling things in this realm. He can sell everything for an expensive price and there are still people that want to buy these things.
Its either the ignorance of the elves or they are too rich that they don"t have any idea to estimate the actual value of a spirit stone.
The biscuit recipe wouldn"t go for more than two to three hundred million in the desolate realm, but in the banished realm, it might go for a billion or so as the value of the spirit stone is less due to the native curse.
But the elves don"t have any curses and it still went for seven-fifty. This is a great thing,
And now, he could sell this cement recipe and the plants and beasts that are needed for it to a high price and a good amount of the target will be finished by then.
But before all of that, he has to make a visit to the city at night to meet his old business partner.
That night Sam changed into his cloaked clothes and sneaked into the city.
He entered Ragad"s residence which is nothing short a mansion and moved around his house. For this chain of targets, Sam only has a way to kill, burning them alive. This will not only make the people relate to a pattern, but they can also relate these deaths to what they might have done.
Sam wants to bring faction 1"s reputation to tatters and make their lives miserable.
But as soon as his shadow mouse which is carrying the divine dimension moved from one place to another to search the room Ragad is in, he found something else.
A man with a blood-red cloak is sitting along with Ragad in a room which looked like an office.
The cloaked man is the same person that met Rajan.
As soon as he got the wooden token, he looked through the details and came to this planet through the worm hold immediately, and since both the capitals are connected it is not that difficult to come.
Sam is listening in on their conversation through the divine dimension.
"Currently, the town elections are going on in Planet 1 and this time, our faction is desperate to win. So, they want to make sure there is no more chaos. Two officials under our faction are dead and a team of thirty was wiped out.
We already seemed to have made an enemy out of this guy, so Rajan decided to eliminate him as soon as possible. But there are no transcendent level cultivators we can move due to the election situation and we came to do that.
I want the information on Sam as soon as possible. Every last bit of it and every small detail."
The man in the Blood-red cloak spoke while Ragad listened with concentration and replied.
"We don"t have much intel on him. Except for the fact that he is an orphan along with his friends and they traveled together all over the planet and tried to learn as much as they can.
That is the story that is popular in Cane"s town.
After the last team attacked him with the meteor, he didn"t make much fuss, he just gave the complaint to the city guard office and left the city when all the inns refused him.
From then on, he rarely came into the city. There is little for us to suspect his direct action in the killing of the two officials."
"Well, we also suspect that he is the one that killed them. Our main target is the person behind him. We had some intel that the last team was swept by that person in the background and even the officials might be his actions.
So, our main target is that guy, but we cannot wait for him to eventually come to us. We decided to use Sam to get him out.
The factory that he built is something mysterious. It was bought by the One-star Military unit. So, we only have until they took over.
Our people in Planet 1 will halt them from coming over for a week and this is the interval in which we could deal with him.
So, get me the info of that area and how it is built."
"I will give it to you by tomorrow afternoon. Where is your team stationed? I will send the details over there."
"There is no need. Someone would come here and get the details from you."
The man stood up and proceeded to leave, when Ragad also stood up to send him off, he gestured him to stop and left alone.
As he looked at the leaving person, Ragad clenched his fists and spoke to himself.
"When will I be able to join the cloaked forces? I am just a step away every time I tried. Maybe I should use this opportunity to build some connections and try to get in."
He then looked at the picture on the desk.
It is a picture of Sam.
"My dear business partner. Not only did you give me enough merits with your businesses, you even gave some money for me, and even when you are dying you are going to help me get into my dream force. You seem to be my lucky charm."
"I wouldn"t be so sure about that."
A low voice and a cold breath hit Ragad"s nape which made his blood run cold.
After a momentary daze, he jumped forward and fell on the ground while sweating profusely. He looked at Sam who is in a cloaked dress.
He suddenly had a premonition and was about to take something out of his spatial ring.
A metallic card suddenly hit him on the shoulder and made him stop his actions.
"I wouldn"t do such a stupid thing if I were you."
Ragad tried to calm himself down and asked in a shivering voice.
"Who are you?"
"The one you guys wanted to pull out desperately."
"What are you talking about?" Ragad wanted to play dumb.
"Please, do you really think I am here to gather evidence against you? I don"t give a s.h.i.t about the laws here. If I want someone dead, I will kill them myself."
"Why are you here? If this is about the conversation before. I have nothing personal against you. It is just me following orders. So, it is useless even if you kill me."
"Really? Then it would be immoral of me to kill you for what you did under forced circ.u.mstances right?" Sam said in a genuinely confused and hesitant voice. When Ragad heard this, he didn"t want to believe that Sam is this dumb, but his fear for life made him think of an unrealistic possibility that this killer might be that naïve.
Seeing the constantly changing expressions on Ragad"s face made Sam almost laugh out loud.
He removed the cloak on his face and Ragad"s face lost all the color.
"You really thought that someone is that naïve? I don"t care if you are forced to follow some instructions or something else. Since you are involved in this, you have to pay for that. After all, when kings battle, soldiers are the ones that suffer the most. You can only blame your luck for it.
And by the way, I am not really your lucky charm, after all, which lucky charm makes you feel the sensation of burned alive."
And soon there are screams of agony and a burning house all over.
The red-cloaked man who just reached the gate of this small estate, could already hear the screams and the raging flames that are burning the whole place down along with Ragad.
