After this battle is over, Sam is going to sit on that shelf for another week.

But this time, he is not going to stay idle. He is planning for something big for his next fight and this time.

Nowadays the multiple opponent fights became common and it is going to be hard for him to gain attention with them if he just kept on going with these types of fights, even though he was able to gain more audience currently.

Sam is thus trying to make himself special once again and he is in the store of the Arena and discussing with the shopkeeper.

He has been saving the money from the bet and some more money from the past bonus for this.

He and Shop keeper are currently discussing the situation and they are currently at the end of the deal-making.

"Are you sure you want to spend all your money like this? What is your goal? At this point, it is not even for fame and glory anymore."

The shop keeper asked in a mild tone.

"Before answering that, may I ask you something? Why is your scale color different from the rest?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect such a question, but he was too used to chatting with Sam in the past few days and he didn't find it hard within him to answer the question.

"I don't belong to this region. I am from a different nation. I crossed the border and came here along with my brother. Of course, we are from a friendly nation, and this type of immigration is still allowed. You can see many people like me in various cities of the nation. It is just it is rare to see someone in Imperial capital."

Sam understood him and was about to ask him some more, but was interrupted.

"Now it is your turn to answer."

"Well, can I trust you?" Sam asked instead of answering directly.

"That depends on your heart. Don't ask me. In fact, don't ask this question to anyone."

"Okay then, I will take a risk. I just want to get out of here."

"Get out of here?"

"From the Arena. What? Do you think I like performing like a caged animal? I do like a battle and I do like earning money, but not in this way. You should have seen my position back at my place. There every second I spend I earn money and every battle I was in would have already been noted down in history.

But here I am working like a caged animal."

When the shop keeper heard this, he looked at Sam for a second and said with a blank face.

"if you want to get out of here, just say it as it is, why are you blabbering so much nonsense. A place with your every battle creating history and every second making money? Do you know how much you should have earned in that time? Do you think there is such a place on this whole planet?

Actually, there is, but you would have to be the prince of that place to have such status, but you look nowhere like them.

Damn it, it is true. My brother always said humans liked to brag. I didn't expect that would be true."

"I know you wouldn't believe me. But I really do want to get out of this place and that is why I am making all these plans."

"Do whatever you want to do. I will arrange this after talking to Fidi and Rana."

"Don't bother, they will come to you. I already wrote a proposal to them."

"Proposal?"

"Yeah, you might not know, but the proposals are the new trend in the Arena, every fighter is writing a proposal, or more like a request as they are trying their best to get a better fight and more money so they can grow faster and increase their ranks.

Of course, I am the one who started this trend."

"Damn it, why are you all over the place? Are you the boss of the Arena or that Rana is? You are making waves wherever you go."

"Haha, didn't I tell you already? I want to get out of this place, so of course, I need some special impact. Anyway, I have to go. But let me tell you if there is a chance I will take you to my place and you can see my glory with your eyes."

"Yeah, Yeah. I will be visiting you in your dreams then."

With that, Sam left not even bothering to argue.

As for why is Sam behaving like an easy-going braggart youth, he just wanted to experience being one and he has to say that it is quite addicting.

At first, he wanted to put up the act and knowing that he doesn't have many obligations he has to follow in this place and there are not many responsibilities bearing him down, he can just be this carefree.

And this shop keeper is the only one who didn't show any form of animosity towards Sam. In fact, he didn't show it towards any human beings.

He treated Nagas and humans all the same and with more conversations, Sam found out that this guy is quite a good miner and excavator in this world and he had mined almost all kinds of valuable materials.

From normal spirit stone mining to excavating the lost buried cities and tombs, he had done it all, in all kinds of environments.

And this information slipped after Sam made him drink to his heart's content after all a long time and conversation started with the metals in the catalog.

That is why Sam offered to visit his place. He can use a man of such expertise. Currently, this mining and excavation field is not that prosperous on his planet, he only gave some knowledge in the divine dimension to the school.

That too only basics, the people in the school are not able to understand or implement these things, but this Shop Keeper is different.

Many people might not know, but Sam could see that this guy is a consummate realm cultivator and that is the most conservative estimate.

No one can see the energy waves or any form of pressure, it would be more believable to say that he is just a simple Naga without any cultivation, but when Sam used his eye technique, he could see something else.

Not only could he see the spiritual energy inside his body, but he could also see an invisible seal over him.

His arms and legs are shackled with some invisible cuffs and there is an invisible symbol over him.

The seal is strong, but not strong enough to suppress him permanently. Sam could even see the cracks all over the shackles and the seal and it is happening because of the constant erosion caused by his suppressed energy.

Sam didn't expect that his eye technique could be used this way and it is potent enough to determine such a high-level technique. This is completely unexpected.

He seemed to be imprisoned here for some reason and if Sam could help him somehow and bring him to his side, he would have another powerhouse to his aid.

But that doesn't mean, he could completely trust him at this moment, that is why he is having so many conversations with this man.

After he left to his residence and cooked another special meal, the next day, Sam was summoned by Rana and the atmosphere in the room is not exactly harmonious when they reached the place.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you really nuts or something? Do you know what kind of test you are facing? You would die if something goes wrong. And do you think the silver rank fighters would leave you alone just like you left all your opponents without killing them?"

Rana started yelling as soon as Sam entered.

"Boss, why are you so anxious? Have I been wrong until now? I can judge my strength and honestly if you have let me take on all the fighters in the division at the same time, I would still be able to do so.

Much less the Silver ranked fighters."

Rana was dumbfounded. He is also a nascent stage cultivator and in fact, all the younger generation people are nascent stage and they are in late stages, but they are not confident that they could take all the Gold-ranked cultivators in Sam's division alone.

Much less all of them.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Of course."

Rana thought about this and decided something.

"Then why don't you include the gold ranker fighters in this?"

Sam was stunned a bit, but then he nodded.

"I have no problem with that. But why did you change your mind easily."

"Since you are blowing it up in such a fashion, you might as well do it in a much larger scale."

"That would be my pleasure."

"But how are we going to facilitate the audience?"

"I have a plan, just give me a week's time and I would give you something that you would never forget. In fact, you can use it for the rest of these type of matches later.

But I am not giving it for free. You have to pay me."

"Sure, but I will only pay you after it was done testing."

"Alright, but I don't have a blueprint for this thing, I got this as a gift."

"Sure."

Both of them shook their hands and Sam left the place to go to the Artisan workshop which is right next to the store.
