Sam continued on with his onslaught of contract termination and he was done in a few hours. It is already nearing dawn.
He then stood up and looked at the table which has two stacks of booklets. One of them is about the areas which are terminated and the other are of which still held the contract.
But the second stack has only four booklets. While the other has nine. The whole western continent has fourteen dukedoms and out of them, nine were terminated.
Sam looked at Philip and said.
"Where are the representatives of the imperial capital? Are they traitors who didn’t co?"
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that Sam would say sothing like that. He didn’t see the imperial capital tower and he simply labeled them as tower heads.
The four tower- heads, who are looking at the situation from the hiding all frowned and felt frustrated. They couldn’t do anything and ca out.
"Sam, what you are doing is extrely out of line. How dare you terminate the contract with those many parks."
The formation tower head said directly.
"Yes, do you think, you can maintain the whole network without the help of the towers? Do you think the business would even exist?"
Sam frowned and his gaze emitted extre coldness.
"You better watch your tone, if you want to leave the city alive," Sam said in a low voice.
Suddenly, the tower heads shuddered.
Sam has been on edge lately. The continuous refinent of pills made him extrely irritated. He desperately wanted to vent. He couldn’t do much to Arman, because he is weak.
He doesn’t have ti to go looking for people and battling them because of the threat he has to face.
The major professional associations are not doing anything to him, yet. But that doesn’t an they will stay put like that.
It is just like the story of Taj Mahal.
Shah Jahan the ruler, used the most skilled artisans he could find to build the tomb for his wife. Which has turned into a wonder of the world for its beauty and splendor.
The Artisans were given lands, riches, status. Anything they could dream of. But the twisted play of fate made Shah Jahan the love stuck fool an emperor to make him think of a possibility.
What if the artisan who is this skilled creates a monunt that surpasses the Taj Mahal?
And thus, the artisan’s hands which are their livelihood were severed along with the workers who numbered in thousands.
The beautiful wonder which is a symbol of love has resulted in much blood and gore.
The sa thing will happen to these Association heads. Sooner or later they will know that with their learning thods and orthodox thinking, they will not surpass their limits and build sothing on par with a park or surpass it.
Then they will be afraid of Sam surpassing it and thus, they will try their best to make sure that wouldn’t happen.
Those thoughts wouldn’t co now, but they will surely co when the Park is almost finished.
As they are still in the middle of construction, they don’t know the true worth of Park. But they will surely understand as they reached the finishing stages, then it will spell trouble for Sam.
He could just make trouble for them now, but if he did that, they might get enraged.
As of this mont, Sam is not a threat, just a thorn that is not even hurting the top dogs. But once he was seen as a threat, he has to be careful. The city can only do so much and he couldn’t activate its full potential without his ntal strength increasing.
Otherwise, Sravan would have been dead by now.
As he looked at the tower heads Sam said.
"The four associations have been corrupted to their core. Not even half of the association is working properly.
I hereby announce. Sam’s organization is terminating the partnership. We do not encourage such despicable acts as corruption, Nepotism, and selfish ideals.
The four associations are set up so that they could spread their knowledge and encourage more professionals, but they are not following the will and being greedy.
I am now offering a chance to the experts in the four associations to join the organization.
You will give access to new resources, new knowledge, and new thods. No matter what your expertise is, you shall not be discriminated and the organization will treat you fairly to nurture you in the direction you want.
If you think that the badges are the acknowledgnt for your skill. You are utterly wrong. The true glory of that badge is only represented when you wore them, not the other way around. Here, in our organization, we will not be looking at those superficial tallic pieces.
We will be judging you based on your expertise."
Sam announced loudly and not many minded the communication device he wore on his ear. The sa thing is being heard all over the empire in every city, through the communication tower.
This is another feature. He can make announcents in all the cities at the sa ti.
The four tower heads are stumped. Not only did Sam draw a line between the four tower and himself, he even declared the badge of an association is worthless and, in his eyes, but they are also the ones that are bringing the badges respect.
He even called for recruitnt all over the city.
Sam felt his head aching. The announcent is indeed a convenient ability, but it would take too much of his energy.
He turned around and walked inside the tower, not even bothering with the associations.
Arc finally couldn’t hold it and ran towards Sam.
"We will talk inside."
Sam said to him and led him to a eting room.
They sat down and Arc who is already on the verge of exploding used all the patience he could muster to stay calm and said.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I was betrayed."
"But that is only done by those four people."
"That is why those four are the only ones killed. Otherwise, there will be a massacre."
Arc was speechless and Sam continued.
"If there was any shred of hope and I saw more than half of the cities operating perfectly without any corruption, I wouldn’t have done so. After all, suddenly recruiting so many people is also a task for .
But more than half of the dukedoms are heavily corrupted. I gave them a share in the goldmine, but they are still being greedy over my wealth.
These people will sooner or later betray . After all, fear can only get so far. They are forgetting the fear. I can take enmity, I can take resentnt, I can take scorn and I can take contempt. But I would never take betrayal."
"But the associations wouldn’t tolerate this."
"Let them co. I also want to see if they will care about this one empire’s partnership or all the other empires’ constructions. They don’t have enough ti on their hands."
Arc sighed and gulped the glass of wine that was placed on the table.
He was extrely frustrated. If he was strong enough, just like Sam said, he would have waited for them to co. He is the emperor and he is not being able to take care of his empire and had to stay fearful of everything.
Both of them didn’t talk for so ti.
At this mont, the association heads are in a eting in the central continent.
Right now, they have two recording crystals on the table and they had seen both the videos.
One of them is from the week earlier. The video of the execution, the second one is the one of today, the video of today’s contract termination.
The two chiefs that went to the Sam’s city on that day felt that things would change on this day, so they sent soone to record the video.
When the three heads saw this, they have extrely ugly expressions.
They are already pissed when they saw the first video and this second video made he them infuriated, but the formation head suddenly chuckled and said.
"I think we are getting angry for nothing."
The other two were puzzled.
"Old three, what do you an?"
"Think about it, Sam cannot do anything to us. Although, he is a threat, he cannot do anything beyond that Sam’s city.
He is just venting his anger after he ca to know that we stole his designs. But what can he do other than this? Is the influence of the four associations, so easy to get rid of in the empires?
When people want a weapon, then co to the artisan tower, that would never change no matter what.
Just because Sam said those words, do you think anything will co out of it.
I think this is a chance for ourselves. We can just use this chance to isolate ourselves from him and construct parks in this western continent as well.
All this while, the association is already in partnership and we wanted to slowly absorb the organization.
But now, we have a chance. I think we shall establish our own organization. We will use the influence of the towers to compete against him. Sam doesn’t have any other force to back him up and provide manpower, now that he terminated the contract, he will soon face troubles."
He said these words as he grinned sinisterly.
