Chapter 1265: Useful information

"Give me the designs."

The Artisan looked at Sam emotionlessly. There is not a single trace of any emotion in his eyes or face. This is the ultimate poker face. Sam took out a few scrolls and placed them in front of him.

"One design would be enough, give me the best of the bunch."

"All of these combine to make one design."

Sam said as he opened the first scroll with much difficulty.

The assistant came and helped him spread the scrolls one after another as he brought some display boards used by some artisans while working.

When everything was spread, the Artisan was stunned, at this moment the spiritual energy in the surroundings vibrated a bit and the people outside of the mansion could clearly sense it, all the guards and others looked at the mansion in shock.

The guard captain came out and said.

"The selection process is complete. Sir Gravin has found the design he liked. Now, please leave the premises."

And thus the ruckus began.

Some people started questioning the judgment, some said that it is unfair and some said that they would present theirs and it would definitely be better than whatever the artisan has selected.

The guards are no pushovers though, they immediately cleared the whole mess.

Meanwhile, Inside the mansion.

Sam just waited for Gravin to take in the excitement caused by this design. He didn’t interrupt his thought process.

"This is great. Who designed it?"

These are the first words that came out of his mouth.

"I did," Sam replied calmly.

Gravin looked at him with some suspicion, but he didn’t question him further.

"This is a great design, but the materials you have specified are not exactly the best for them."

"I know that. But I am not in a situation where I can get the materials that I like. I have to compromise."

"Good thing that you met me. I have the right materials for this."

With that, Gravin waved his hands and material, Sam is extremely familiar with came out. Meteorite Sand.

Sam is impressed, to say the least.

So, he decided to go around and see if he could find anything worthwhile.

At the start of the journey, Sam once again tried his hand at the Dormant soul.

By now, the soul dimmed noticeably and it is shivering in fright whenever Sam came around to take a peek. Sam forced it to constantly undergo the stress of his soul energy as he tore one part after another.

Even though the backlash increased a bit, he is also getting faster at gaining the information he needed.

And this time, he finally got the information he needed.

He was confused since the first time he got the information regarding his location from Sivan’s memories.

He couldn’t understand why Sivan from such a large clan knew of these small organizations around and he finally got the answer.

These are all actually Sivan’s vassals. This guy has many organizations under his control. In fact, the Holy Church is also under his control, but even those organizations don’t know that he is their true boss.

Sivan has created a large hierarchal structure and is getting taxes from each and every organization. He is going after the quantity to increase his riches.

He has a large force under his personal control without any relations to the clan and for it to thrive, he needs to find resources suitable for all cultivation levels as he nurtured them since they awakened.

He has a troop in every cultivation level from the Mortal Plane to the Astral Plane Transcendence.

This is indeed a large army and to nurture it, he has organizations of various levels under his control that would send him resources annually. Along with the resources, many talented people will be recruited by him as they go through various tests within this hierarchal structure and reach him to join his force.

And all of this is happening without even revealing his name.

Sam is genuinely impressed. To run such a large racket without even revealing any information to his clan and the rest of the world, would take a lot of intelligence and wisdom.

Now, when Sam paired this information with all the schemes and plans their family is using to suppress Sivan even though he was a cripple, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Sivan should be the weakest candidate as he has the least battle prowess, at least Sivan wasn’t able to gain much prowess as he gave up on himself personally fighting. But when it comes to the forces, he is the best of the best.

Not a single Elder much less a candidate can oppose him when it comes to it.

Sam immediately held his journey off and made a list of organizations and their hierarchal structure.

This is the foundation of Sivan’s strength that could help him stand politically as the leader of the clan as well as many realms.

Even now, he is dictating how the lives of people in various realms will be going on and no one knows he is controlling their fates.

If he matures properly, that would be a force to reckon with. It is already larger than the Dusk organization in terms of numbers and it is also a lot stronger as Sivan has way too many Astral Plane cultivators under his control.

Sam really wished, he got the names and identities of the people within his force knowingly or unknowingly. But he only got the organization names.

But still, Sam decided to take action.

He is not willing to let this guy go that easily. So, he would start by destroying his foundation one stone at a time until his whole empire collapses.
