Sam became more and more impressed as he learned about the Dead Clients.
Even in these Dead Clients, there are two sub groups one with the people that owe favors to Leader 3 and come and help him in case of emergencies, but the second group is the most lethal.
These are the people that are targeted by the Black Curtain because of the large sum of money offered by some large organizations. Even if they manage to escape the Black Curtain, they wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life. Simply, put if an organization is super strong but cannot act on the target in the public eye directly and pick Black Curtain to do the job, Leader 3 will go to them, save them create a fake death that is particularly convincing, give them a new identity and finally taking him under him.
Now, Sam understood why there are so many people under Leader 3.
His branch alone is equivalent to a high-level phase three organization of the list. And now combined with the remaining five, Sam felt really glad that he decided to not mess with them directly and used tricks to make them fight within themselves.
He also decided to use Leader 3 to start going after the rest of the branches.
Anyway, the rest of the branches are already having some thoughts of their own and they are sure to act on them given the time and scenarios.
In fact, Sam is even tempted to directly meet Leader 3 and cut a deal straight away. But he knew for sure that it wouldn't go as well as he planned if he knew that Sam is the one who really killed the Leader's son.
But he got another plan with the extra information he got from this guy's head.
Because even though he is a close associate of Leader 3, he is actually a person who worked in Leader 2's territory before acting as a spy for Leader 3, and from the looks of it, there is the realm in which half of it is managed by Leader 2 and the other half is managed by Leader 1.
The representative of Leader 2 in that realm working as a branch manager is actually a bit eccentric which could be taken advantage of a bit.
This guy is actually the younger brother of Leader 2 and is full of ambitions. But he is not smart enough to have such ambitions, so the spy from Leader 3 managed to make use of his destroyed some serious earning opportunities and is also cost a lot of client credibility. As a result, he was demoted to a level of branch manager from a high-level executive and was even sent to a planet that was in the realm shared by both Leader 1 and Leader 2.
This caused him to lose his standing within the organization, so he is trying to bounce back. As soon as Sam learned this information, new plans were formulated in his mind. An ambitious idiot can easily be manipulated and is bound to be less problematic to do so.
So, he set off with the team to that planet and let Leader 1 and Leader 3 duke it out here.
The planet they are entering is the Drake Planet.
It was once a planet full of wildlife and wildlife alone and the apex predators are different types of Drakes.
Drakes of different species and elemental affinities are used to occupy different areas.
This time, Sam also wanted to collect some drakes to breed. They don't have much higher bloodline like dragons, but once he used his bloodline refinement techniques, they could be good mounts for the students and other employees in the organization and with his current cultivation level, if he used the bloodline refinement on the mortal plane beasts, he could refine bloodline of over a hundred beasts at the same time.
While thinking about all this, they arrived at the drake planet.
They directly went to the city where their target is. His name is Chisk.
This time Sam didn't go to him directly and just observed him from afar with the surveillance and the shadow mice for three days and just as Sam expected this guy is not slacking off.
He is making some preparations and particularly, he is moving around meeting with a bunch of family heads trying to get some help from them in the form of strong cultivators so that he could take over the business of Black curtain in one of the cities under Leader 1.
But he didn't manage to get any help from anyone.
One could easily understand just how low his standing in the Black Curtain was. Leader 3's son was taken care of properly by the local lord, but here the branch manager was being completely ignored.
Sam couldn't help but smile as he thought of how easy it is going to be.
Chisk is trying so hard to get some support and when he was getting drunk Sam also managed to learn that this guy actually asked his older brother, Leader 2 for some manpower so that he could take over a city or two from leader 1's territory.
But the only answer he got was that it is not possible.
He knew that his brother looked down on him, so the rest of the organization also did so and then the rest of the world did so.
He is trying to regain his dignity.
While the situation is like this, Kiran suddenly made an appearance in front of Chisk in a bar with his disguise.
Kiran is only a middle stage transcendent cultivator of the Astral Plane and even Kiran can hold him off a bit.
He went directly to the table of Chisk in the private room in the most unsuspecting of the disguises he could think of.
"Who the fuck are you?" Chisk asked as soon as he saw Kiran.
Kiran just smiled and sat down before opening a wine gourd, when Chisk smelled the wine, he couldn't help but feel a bit entranced.
Kiran poured the wine into two crystal glasses and spoke.
"Master Chisk, I heard you are in need of manpower."
Chisk frowned and said in a cautious tone.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"No need to play dumb, Master Chisk. I know a lot of things than you think. I am here to offer a deal. If you accept it, I assure you, you can gain a lot more than just one city. I am sure that you would regain your footing in the Black Curtain."
Chisk's frown became deeper as he got ready to make a move.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation on his back, he couldn't exactly sense a physical presence, but he could feel that something horrifying is behind him.
"Don't be rash now, Master Chisk. My companion is in the next room and he happened to be a lot stronger than you, before you could even make a move, you would die. If all I want is to kill you, you wouldn't even know how and why you died."
"What do you want?"
Chisk asked nervously.
"I need your help and in exchange, I would help you. My boss has some bad blood with the Leader1 of your organization and he has been wanting to deal with him for a long time. In fact, we came from a realm far away from here.
If not for the involvement of Leader 3, we would have already made our move, but since this already happened, we decided to take advantage of this opportunity.
To ensure the destruction of Leader 1, we would reduce their forces and influence in their cities while they are at war.
And once we caused that destruction, I want another branch to take over those cities so that Leader 1 couldn't revive. Since you are the one closest to this area, we would like to ask you to take care of this.
We don't need any territory or resources that you obtain for yourself. The resources we obtain for ourselves would be ours, but we wouldn't take any territory.
Are you interested in the proposal?"
Chisk thought for a moment and said.
"How can I trust you? Not the just fact that there is a possibility of you betraying me, but there is also a chance that you are not even capable of what you are saying. What should we do then? How can you prove that working with you wouldn't be a loss?"
"It is not unreasonable of you to ask that. Then, do one thing. Come to Python city tomorrow. You can see something beautiful. The branch of the Black curtain will be met with a disaster and it would be of dark elemental energy.
After you see that might, you can think about whether you want to agree or not. We can meet in the most expensive bar in Python city at night. I will come and meet you myself."
