Chapter 2356: Negotiations



As soon as the skeleton is destroyed, Sam made a move.

*SWOOSH* *SWOOSH*

*BOOM*

Rashma who just finished off such a critical opponent also made a move. He punched straight ahead in the empty air. To her surprise, Sam actually blocked her move. He was almost sent flying, if not for her timely stop, maybe he would have.

As for why he blocked his attack? In the original trajectory of her punch stood a stunned and stupefied young woman who is from Apollo's academy. She is soaked in sweat, shivering as if she was thrown into the harshest and whitest of the winters.

Sam looked at her and said.

"You should really think twice before you make a move. Just because the other two members of your team are dead because of idiocy, doesn't mean you should walk the same path as them."

The woman came out of her stupor and gritted her teeth.

Her aura raged as if she wanted to attack Sam, but the latter just clicked his tongue and said. "Don't bother. You know it will not end well. For you to land an attack on me, you will have to use all the things up your sleeve, for me to kill you, all I have to do is step aside."

The woman, who is named Grethen, controlled her anger as her gaze met with Rashma's. Judging by the latter's expression, it is obvious that she will kill her if Sam asks her to.

"Now that you calmed down, do you mind explaining your sudden move? I thought you were just spying for your new boss, that is why I didn't say anything. But making a move on her? Particularly, after seeing what she did to that skeleton a couple of minutes ago? That is plain idiotic."

Grethen ignored Sam and looked at Rashma.

"I need to talk to you.

I don't know if you understand the situation of the pocket dimension at the moment. But if you want to get out of here safely, we need to work together."

Rashma looked at her without answering.

Sam shrugged and waved his hand. The bones of the skeleton started flying towards him and into his storage.

Grethen extended her hand and caught one of them. However, she wasn't able to store it away. Sam's force is still pulling it.

"You better let that go." Sam spoke calmly.

The woman ignored him once again and said.

"It is you who destroyed this skeleton and look at this parasite already claiming the spoils. You know what kind of person he is. He is nothing but an opportunist who colluded with the Hub to work against the academy realm as a whole.

In a situation like this... you have to keep your back safe from him.

So, please let's talk privately."

Sam sighed and turned to Rashma.

"You want to talk to her? Or work with them? She is currently working with a bunch of other students from Olympian region, Norse region and some other smaller academies. You want to go there?"

Sam's question was direct and now, Rashma gave an answer.

"What do you want to do?"

Sam smiled and turned to Grethen.

And one of the Olympian academy candidates spoke their thoughts out loud.

"Grethen, why did you bring all three? You mission is to only bring on person, Rashma. Why

did you bring that extra baggage here?"

Grethen gritted her teeth, but didn't answer. She couldn't care less about what these thought

and turned to Sam.

"You three wait here. I will bring Drik here. This is the outer area. You are only allowed until

this point until you join the team."

She didn't wait for an answer.

Crow sneered and said.

"These guys seemed to have planned to stay here for a long time. They even established hierarchy. Do you really think that we should work together with them?"

He didn't hide his tone and spoke out loud. This of course attracted a few sharp and scornful

gazes.

Sam just chuckled and said.

"We will see." Soon, Drik came out of the room with a deep frown. He looked at Sam and said.

"We are not interested to work with you. We are only interested in talking to Rashma." He

came straight to the point.

"You can try. I don't really have any objections." Sam said directly even stepped to the side

and gesturing him to talk to Rashma.

But Rashma frowned and said.

"Talk to him, or we leave."

That is all she said. She didn't even look at Drik.

"Now, do you want to talk to me?"

Drik hesitated and said. "How can we even trust you? Would you trust yourself if you are in my place?"

"First of all, that 'what if' scenario you just mentioned... cross it off your mind and never think

of it again. I will not be in your position. Never.

Second of all, what choice do you have?

I will be honest. At the moment, I came here with these two, just because I am curious. I didn't come here out of necessity. Right now, I have the most information, I have the most things set up in the pocket dimension, I have most number of bag of tricks and finally, I have the strongest fighter in the pocket dimension with me.

The only fighter who has yet to actually defeat a skeleton and no less a black skeleton. If anything, I should be asking you questions about why we should even join you."
