Chapter 41: Products
After Sam left with the group, the rest of the members of the Pharmaceutical tower also left as they looked at Alfred and Albert. Now, father and son were the only people left in the room. It took a long time for them to come back to their senses.
"Dad, what does he mean by this?" Albert was still confused as he looked at the healed Green scaled lizard and the meat paste of the leg on the ground.
*Pah*
Alfred suddenly slapped Albert out of nowhere.
"Why do you have to provoke someone you can’t afford to offend?" He yelled at his son as slumped back into the chair with a dejected expression. He just looked at the healed leg of the lizard. He clearly understood one thing from what Sam told him. He can be as arrogant as he wants, but he can’t provoke him.
From what he saw, Sam has a light attribute and he is proficient in healing spells, and he has so much control on his spiritual energy that he can even perform regrowth. Even though, it is easy to perform the regrowth on the Green scaled lizard, it is still more than what his skill level can catch up to.
If he tried to provoke Sam with the higher social status as a pill master, he will just come and become a certified healer and then with his young age and potential, he will be in higher status in no time and even without it he can just get a few people to do his bidding. But there is one thing that confused him, that is why didn’t Sam just take a healer exam and attain higher status, with having proficiency in all main professions, he can enjoy so many privileges, after all that type of genius is absolutely unheard of.
The three bigshots also had same doubts and Felix asked him directly.
"I have my reasons." This is the answer that he gave without any more reasons.
"Sam, do you want to accompany us to a meal?" Harold asked.
"No, Thank you. I have something going on. I have to go to the Evergreen family as I have some items to auction off. Maybe next time." Sam bid his farewell and looked towards Kelly. He also nodded at her in a polite manner made his way to the Evergreen family.
Kelly looked at his back as if she wanted to say something but held herself back.
After half an hour Sam went to the Evergreen family house. He is sitting in a room which seems to be where the head of the Evergreen family entertains the guests. There are two people along with him. it is head of the Evergreen family Marcus and his son Philip.
"So, Sam what is it that you want to auction off today. You even said that it is a big haul." Marcus asked as he looked at Sam who has a calm expression.
"Mr. Marcus, do you by any chance have a squad of 14 people in Evergreen family who has a better coordination and it would be better if they have some fire or ice attribute in the squad." Sam asked with confusion.
"Well, before that let me show you something." Sam said and took out the robe that he made today morning and wore it. "Mr. Marcus how does it look?" Sam asked with a smile as he looked at Marcus who is looking at the exquisite design of the robe.
"The robe is quite good and the quality of the material is great as well."
"Mr. Marcus, do you have a sparring room?" Sam asked with a smile.
"Sure, let us go." Even though Marcus felt quite puzzled on why Sam asked for a sparring room. he didn’t question him and just led the way.
When they went to a training room, Sam entered the sparring ring and seeing this Philip entered the ring. He looked at Sam and said. "Sam, I finally have a chance to spar with you? Even though I know that I am not your match at all, it would till be a tough fight."
Ad soon as he finished, he made some hand seals and a fire ball appeared in his hands. He immediately threw that towards Sam. But his opponent only stood there with a faint smile as fire ball hit him in the chest. Marcus and Philip were surprised yet scared. They didn’t expect that Sam will take full brunt of attack. But when the smoke cleared, they were even more shocked because, there is not even a single thread damaged on the cloth. Sam just stood there with same smile.
Philip was still unwilling and this time a raging fire appeared in his hands. This time he didn’t pull his punches at all. The fire flew as it was a river of flames and came towards Sam. This is a spell called incineration. But the outcome didn’t change. The damage is non-existent. When Sam was about to say something, he saw something else. Philip concentrated his spiritual energy as some metallic sheen could be seen on his arms. He immediately took out a sword and made a move towards Sam. A loud sword keen emerged along with a fiery blade as it hit the target.
But the outcome was still not what Philip wished for. He saw Sam blocking the sword with his hand as the sleeve glowed a bit due to injecting spiritual energy. This made the expression of the Father and son change.
But the most surprised one was Sam. Because, according to information and what everyone knew is the Philip is a Fire attribute Acolyte mage at level 5. But what Sam saw now was that Philip is a Metal and Fire, Dual Attribute Acolyte Warrior-Mage at Level 7. He was quite perplexed at what he saw and was dumbfounded. Philip is hiding his prowess all the time. But he didn’t question it and just stayed silent. Philip also retracted his sword and looked at Sam and both of them nodded in tacit understanding. Then Sam turned towards Marcus and said.
"Mr. Marcus will you please come and assist me?"
Marcus was dumbfounded by this and stared in daze for a second before he asked.
"Are you sure?"
"I am not going to have a spar with you. I just want you to make a move so that I could demonstrate my product." After hearing what Sam said. Marcus slowly made his way to the ring and stood there.
"You can attack me with a power level of around fourth stage Novice." Sam said as he took a defensive position.
Marcus hesitated a little and then took an attacking stance. A huge blazing flame blasted towards Sam and hit him. This is a Novice range spell called Inferno. When all the smoke cleared up. Philip and Marcus almost fainted from shock. Because, Sam is still standing there without a single scratch. But the whole robe is glowing as a big energy barrier formed around Sam. When they saw this scene, they finally understood what Sam’s product is. This is an extraordinary product. Just this robe alone will be centre of attention of the monthly auction.
Marcus took a deep breath and spoke first. "Sam, how many of these do you have?" He really wants to buy this robe. If possible, he just wants to buy every robe off. But knew this is not possible.
"Mr. Marcus. Aren’t you being a little hasty? Demonstration is not finished yet." After he spoke, he took out a thin book and passed it to Marcus and then said. "Please read this." Both Philip and Marcus took the book and flipped through the pages. There are some well-images and also numerous details regarding the robe and how can it be most effective. When they finished skimming through the book, Philip and Marcus stared at Sam as if they were looking at a monster.
"Sam, this is a set for seven?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you ask for a fourteen-man squad."
"Well, I have more than one set."
Even though, he had the speculation, after he heard the confirmation, he was quite shocked. He immediately ordered for a 14-man team to come to the training room. Mostly they are at Acolyte stage and there are some fire and Ice attribute mages in them.
Sam took 14 robes, half of which are red and another half are blue. He then explained about the robes to the 14 people and then turned towards Marcus.
Half an hour later. Marcus was full of smiles and had a fascinating expression on his face.
"How about it Mr. Marcus? will this do? Are they worthy enough to be auctioned?" Sam asked with a faint smile.
"Sam, how many sets do you have?" Marcus asked directly.
"Four." This reply made Marcus to take in a deep breath.
"Sam, I want to make a deal with you. I will buy two sets directly. Name the price." Marcus asked.
Sam pondered a bit. He really didn’t have any objection on selling these things to Marcus as he didn’t have a bad opinion of Evergreen family. But these things are his money-making opportunities. After some brief thought, Sam finally replied.
"Mr. Marcus, I have no objection in selling you. But about the price. I will let you auction two sets of the robes and I will take sixty percent of the price of the least expensive set from you. But you have to waive the auction commission for me."
"Okay." As soon as Sam said, Marcus agreed.
After making some small talk, Philip and Sam went out and Marcus went to make some preparations.
"Philip, can you invite Freya and Haley for a meal? I have to talk something." Sam asked Philip
"Sure." Philip asked two servants to inform them while he and Sam walked towards the inn. The two servants went towards the Academy and informed Haley and Freya about the matter.
After Sam and Philip waited for a while in the inn, both the young ladies came. They greeted and sat down quietly. They ordered the dishes and finished the meal quickly. All this time, they only made some small talk and the girls didn’t talk much at all. They are still feeling awkward around Sam.
"Can we go to my mansion?" Sam suggested as soon as they came out. Then all four of them walked towards the mansion.
After they arrived at the mansion, Sam directly took them to the tailoring room. When they entered all three of them were dumbfounded as they saw what was inside the room.
There are two wooden mannequins which are displaying a dress each. Both the dresses are similar in design, except that one dress is red in colour with golden colour embroidery and the other is ice blue in colour with white colour embroidery.
The dresses have two components. The top and a pant. The top has short sleeves and there is a phoenix head embroidered on the left side chest for the red dress and the body was embroidered along with it and extended towards the bottom of the waist where the tail begins and from which the golden coloured feathers are embroidered along the back side of the top. The top is short in front as it covered a little more than the lower abdomen from the chest as the back of the top is quite long as it extended a little below the calf. The pant is also red in colour. Which is simple without any exquisite designs.
The Blue top also has similar design, but the feathers are white in colour and the phoenix embroidery started from the right chest to left. The pant is also in icy blue colour.
When the two girls saw these dresses, they froze on their spots. Even a man like Philip is amazed by the dress. Most importantly, the dresses can not only be worn formally, but also in a battle. But the design on the dress will make the girls quite reluctant to battle with them on.
Haley and Freya exchanged glances as they slowly walked towards the dresses and started examining them. They felt the fabric the design and everything were quite great and the craftsman ship is quite excellent.
"Hello, ladies. You should pay before you take the cloths." Sam interrupted their actions from behind.
When Freya and Haley came back to their senses, they again became awkward.
"Ten spirit stones each. Pay up and take your dress." Sam said as he reached out his hand with a smile.
Haley and Freya couldn’t help but smile at Sam’s behaviour. How much is Sam’s worth? How rich is he? Ten spirit stones are not a matter at all. They exchanged glances and took out the spirit stones and passed over.
"Sam, this is not fair, I asked for a dozen dresses. You only made one." Freya was back to herself again. Since, Sam can still remember their request for dresses, that means he is still treating their friendship normally, irrespective of their families’ actions.
"Can you not be that shameless?" Haley also smiled as she scolded Freya.
"There is a surprise, in the dress. If you are in a dangerous situation, direct all the spiritual energy into the dress right before the impact." Sam said from behind. Freya and Haley felt quite confused and Philip was the most bitter one.
He already knew what Sam can do with a normal robe. If the people who buy Sam’s clothes in auction knew that two such clothes are sold at 10 spirit stones, he wondered how they felt.
