Sam came out with friends and it is already evening. He felt like his body is a thousand times lighter. Although the masseuse was scared a bit by the scars on his body, she slowly regained control and Sam fell asleep in the middle.

Not a complete deep sleep though. He held on to his consciousness and he can still feel the hands and the person that is moving those hands, he just didn't care about the rest of the room.

He decided to come here more often. He held the ruby card in his hands and went back to his residence.

The trio is stunned by how Sam was so satisfied and liked it so much. This is the first time Sam showed this much interest in something like this.

The reason Sam liked it is not because of just the pleasure it is giving him, the person who is doing the massage is actually using the wood elemental energy in such a precise way to cover a small portion of the body at a time and used the vitality to rejuvenate the cells in his body.

He was really impressed by her technique. When he looked at the profile of the masseuse given by the manager, he was even more impressed. She is specialized in many more types of massages and is the best of the best within the whole establishment and possibly even in the whole planet.

If not for the fact, that he was too lost in the massage, he would have even tried to recruit her.

But he is not in a hurry. There are still many techniques that he has to try and there is a lot of time for him to recruit her.

While Sam and his friends dedicated their time to enjoy themselves, something else is happening in the city. The day for the election result's announcement is going to be given out soon and the coronation of the new king or queen would be conducted.

So, there are some special guests in the city.

From the seashore of a town, a group of sirens emerged out of the water and started their journey to the Capital a few days ago and they reached the city on that very day.

The first thing they did to go and meet the elders and then went to their own residence that they have.

The whole city is in fervor upon their arrival.

This is the tradition between the sirens and the elves. For every coronation, the sirens will send the envoys over to give their wishes and gifts for them to show their support and continue their coexisting cooperation.

The sirens will take their time and enjoy themselves on the surface and experience the pleasures this world has to offer.

Along with that, there will be a series of meetings between the sirens and the elven officials discussing some things which are not disclosed to the public.

So, for the next few days, while Sam is enjoying himself with his friends. The remaining city is bustling, everyone is interested in impressing the sirens, all the business owners want to serve the sirens that are not from this place.

The trio is also discussing this as they found it interesting because the sirens don't pay normally with spirit stones, they give out some special rewards from the sea if they really like it, and turned out that the sirens are richer than the elves.

And another shocking news is, they are even larger in terms of population.

No wonder, the prideful elves wanted to coexist. Sam thought, but that is not the only thought Sam has when he remembered the three products he sold.

Maybe, there is a chance for the shift in the balance of power and this peaceful coexistence might not last long and if there is any chance that could happen, Sam might be able to take advantage of the current situation even more and get something else from someone else.

While Sam is thinking of the sirens while getting a different massage which is done by some soft vines coiling around him, what he doesn't know is that the sirens are currently talking about him.

Currently, there is a meeting happening between the envoys of the sirens and some elven officials.

"I heard that the war between you and the sea folks intensified? And you guys are showing the chances of winning. I must congratulate you. The Sea folks are pests that are hard to get rid of. If you manage to get rid of them, you would have a sea completely under your control."

The Siren envoy asked as he tasted the wine in front of him. This is one of the wines Sam created and is a new delicacy to sirens which they seemed to enjoy a lot.

"Thanks for the good wishes of Lord Varien. But it would still take some time before the sea folks are finished up. The consummate level creatures already on the move and they are creating big waves all over. It is a bit problematic."

"Well, I heard that you have some new weapons which helped you enter the sea and even attack there properly, it seems like you people became good at making things."

"haha, Lord Varien can truly jest. We are really not that great."

"Don't be too modest. I would like to meet the maker of these weapons if possible."

"That…"

"Why? Are we not eligible?"

"No, no, that is not what I meant. Currently, those weapons are produced by the One-star military unit and they are pretty discreet about the actual maker of the weapons. If you really want to, we will try and see what we can do."

"Then please do. We would stay here until we get to meet that person."

With that, the sirens left and went back to their arranged residence. The officials went to meet their superiors and the word began to pass.

These officials clearly understand what the presence of these weapons means. The elves are prideful by nature and it would be a joke if one believed that they really don't have any aspirations to conquer the seas.

These weapons are a clear show of that possibility and it has to be resolved as diplomatically as possible. The sirens don't have the disadvantages of the sea folks and they don't have to bid their time.

They can attack anytime they want and it would still be a doubt whether the elven government can sustain that attack.

So, they decided to arrange that meeting and soon the news reached the professor through the one-star military unit.

Professor was a bit stumped. No one knows that Sam was the one who created these products. Very few people know about it and they are the one-star military unit, the professor himself, his trusted aides, and finally the tax officer who is also the subordinate of the professor who managed to conceal what kind of product that Sam has sold to gain this much money.

Even Sam doesn't know that he was completely concealed regarding this. He didn't want to hide it and neither did he think that it was possible.

He already gave up the thought of hiding his actions as the tax regulations are quite strict here.

There is even a department for riding some people if they are suspected of tax evasion.

But they wouldn't go through the regular process of searching and digging, rather they would be asked to swear a tree spirit oath every now and then.

He didn't want to get mixed up with this and do something stupid while he stayed in this world.

What he doesn't know is, that the professor is not exactly comfortable with everyone knowing what Sam made.

It would be a bit of trouble if others coveted it and there are too many loopholes in their contract.

The main one is that the contract only states, that Sam can only sell the products or designs created in the research base of Planet 2 to the one-star military. But that doesn't include or restrict Sam from opening the new base, or the products that are solely made by himself without the involvement of the research base.

Elves are good at finding useful people and using them properly. If the remaining factions learned that Sam is making the waves in the weapon industry, then things wouldn't stay the same. The grenades are barely tolerable.

But he couldn't reject the Siren's request.

So, all he could do is send a request to Sam and also another request to the sirens that they would keep the creator of the weapons a secret.

After writing both the letters he waited.

When Sam got the letter, he was a bit surprised.

But he agreed to the meeting. It wouldn't hurt to meet a person from the race that is ruling the sea. What could go wrong?

But it seems like some were really bound to go wrong.

Since he liked the massage sessions so much and particularly by that one person, he paid for the rest of the month and completely booked her. He didn't even care if the service he took wouldn't be expensive enough to cover the cost. He just paid for the whole month with the most expensive package there is and made sure that she is available every time he comes here.

After some research of the tortoiseshell, he went to try a new massage technique, but the manager is currently standing before him with a faint smile and telling him that she is not available.
