The deal went on smoothly. It is easy to deal with spoiled brats sometimes. Particularly, those who have that much of a superiority complex.

Now that Sam has these two videos in his hands, this guy will have to stay calm for a few days. At least until the elections are over he has to stay put.

One reason is that the town elections would be disturbed and faction 1 who already has a disadvantage in this town, would take another hit to their reputation, and the votes will be gone.

So, he would have to make sure that the video wouldn't go out. As for the second video, these people with superiority complex certainly wouldn't want their superiors and peers to know their dirty laundry.

They would try all means to make sure their image is not ruined.

And Sam also doesn't need a long-term relationship with this guy, so he doesn't have to bear with him as he did with Raunak who he is going to take as a partner.

He didn't need to bear with any other spoiled brats particularly when they are only needed for the temporary partnership.

Anyway, he also has to send a message to the elven people living here so that they wouldn't mess with him and his plans, this is a perfect opening point.

Many people might think he is reckless and has no political acumen and that is true to some extent and most of it is due to his disinterest in playing political games. He would rather play a game of strength and force which is straightforward.

So, he is making the playing field even and getting ready while converting the political game into a game of strength.

Meanwhile, the person who is on the receiving end is not feeling the same.

"Sir Ragad, how do you want us to proceed regarding this matter? Shall I cancel the deal with him?" The manager asked as he looked at the young elf who has that gloomy face since morning.

"No, the deal must go on as we agreed. Also, don't change any price or don't make it hard for him. We cannot afford those videos to leak to other people. We have to make sure that those two videos wouldn't see any daylight.

I will deal with him later after the elections are over. Make the arrangements for my stay here and also call for my personal guards."

"It will be done, sir."

Ragad walked out and went into the yard as he looked at the night sky. He is burning with intent to kill. In fact, he wants to kill Sam right at the very moment. But he couldn't do anything. Even if the town elections are not as important, if the position of the town head was influenced by his own actions and their faction missed the spot, he would definitely face some consequences.

But he is sure that Sam's death will happen in his hands.

As for making it difficult for the deal, his superiors clearly informed him that the deal should go on. The refinement process is also clear and easy, if faction 2 gets their hands on the procedure, they will just take the sugar industry away from faction 1.

He must make sure that there is no disturbance in his plans.

He walked out of the estate and went to meet with the Envoy from his faction.

Meanwhile, something else is happening in the faction 2 Envoy's residence.

The envoy, the candidate, and the candidate's elder brother who is the current town-head. All three of them are sitting together and are discussing something.

"Are you certainly sure that some deal has happened in the sugar factory?" The envoy asked the town head.

"Yes, they got a new refinement method. We don't know the source, but the refinement method is extremely useful in producing more refined sugar and it also helps in the recovery of physical fatigue instantly. While it also increases the absorption rate of the spiritual energy taken in the form of food.

It is also aesthetically pleasing and that alone is enough to redefine the sugar industry. Their income will increase by a lot and sugar is one of the major income sources for that faction.

From what I knew they are still in trial phases and didn't expand to other factories, we must destroy it before that happened." The town head said in an anxious tone.

"Why are you panicking so much?" The Envoy asked.

"This would affect the election results. Most of the neutral voters are the cane crop owners and from what I heard, since they are sure to get more revenue this time, faction 1 is going to increase the cost price of the sugar cane.

Apart from that, they also found a buyer who is willing to buy the waste of the sugar cane and the waste of the refinement process. This also increases the cost of the sugar cane now that is valuable than before.

They are not hiding this from the public and now the voters will surely take their side if this happens."

"Did the news reach the voters yet?"

"No, the votes are still oblivious to this. Only I got the news at the moment."

"Then how about we reduce the chances of votes before the news comes out," Envoy said with a cold expression.

"What do you mean?"

"What if the sugar cane farmers don't have the crops anymore? They wouldn't be able to get the benefits and the faction 1 wouldn't get the required votes, will they?"

The candidate who was silent all the time has his mouth wide open in shock while the current town head is in even more of a surprise.

The cane crops are the highest taxpayers in the town and since their income is going to increase, the taxes they pay will also increase.

The tax is paid for every three months and this would be an addition to the next town head and it is surely merit.

But now that there is a little chance that they would gain this merit, the envoy decided to destroy everything altogether.

"But if there is any evidence that we actually did it, we would be having a lot of trouble." The candidate is a bit nervous.

"Of course, do I look stupid? I will be making the arrangements. All you have to do is find some details regarding the guards of that candidate. I will elaborate on the plan later."

Sam just went on to finish his research in the divine dimension while his three friends are dealing with the business and also managing the information that was brought by the shadow mice.

They are looking forward to any potential dangers they might have to face.

When they got the news regarding the plan to deal with the crops, they became alert and didn't wait to alert Sam of this.

Sam thought for a bit and said.

"Just keep an eye on the cane fields for now and mark the important guys in the faction 2. Nothing must happen to the cane fields. If the activity is too much or you cannot get a hold of the plan, then inform me immediately. I will take care of it.

The canes are extremely important to us. So, don't let them go to waste."

For the next three days, faction 2 is full of activity. They sent their secret guards to tail the guards and some lackeys of candidate 1 to check their daily activity and brought all the details back to the Envoy of the second faction.

But there is no plan that was discussed.

By the end of the third day, the Envoy just gave a spatial ring to candidate 2.

This made it hard for them.

They know that something is happening, but they couldn't do anything to stop it or hinder it.

They could only inform Sam about it.

Sam came out of the divine dimension and talked with the shadow mice once again to see what he can find out.

The only thing that is too suspicious is that after getting the spatial ring from the envoy, candidate 2 just took some things out of it and broke them some lights flew out of those things and left the town at a rapid pace.

This is an extremely vague thing. They don't know what is going to happen after these lights went out of the town.

And from the looks of it, even the candidate and the town head didn't know anything about the plan.

There are some speculations but everything seemed farfetched.

So four of them decided to just keep watch on the cane fields.

They could only stay more alert and Sam employed all five of his shadows to hide in the fields as they cannot be seen near the fields and make the envoy suspicious.

Sam decided to take some more precautions and asked the faction 1 people to release the news to the farmers as soon as possible. But the response is a bit cold. They don't even want to listen to what Sam has to say.

He understood that this the repercussion for the ass-kicking he gave to Ragad. But Sam didn't fuss over it and went to Raunak to explain the situation and ask for a hand in stopping the plans.
