Sam is not alone in his construction. He did the first step which is making the concrete slabs on his own and he would need to continue doing so. But the rest of the work could be left to someone else.

For example, his shadows. Even though he can take his beasts out too, he is not exactly comfortable with that hidden observer breathing down his neck.

As for why he is not going and dealing with them directly, he was waiting for the word from Raunak about the involvement of his future father-in-law. He wanted to know this information to decide on his approach.

If he was not involved, he would have just dealt with them and be done with it. But now that his involvement is there, he would have to think of a different way. He has to make sure that his message goes through.

Even if this group of people particularly didn't come from that guy, he would make use of them to give that message.

As for why this future father in law has special treatment, it is simple. If it is a political backlash, Sam would only need power but doesn't have to show it all to the opponent and leave them in mystery so that they can hold them back.

After all, fighting for power will still make them have some reservations, they have to be treated in such a way that there is an unexplored terrain in front of them. They shouldn't know what they are stepping into. Their only knowledge should be that the terrain is dangerous.

But when they are fighting for their pride, ego, and any other emotions, they have to be given a mad scare. It will either provoke them to the point they can no longer keep their sanity or they would be scared enough to keep mum for a significant amount of time.

So, before he did something to them, he is keen on finishing this construction. This would also send a different kind of message.

That he wouldn't be stopped just because of the restrictions he placed on him.

Sam worked fast. Most of the lifting and placing was done by the shadows. He deliberated on taking the MInotaurs out, but after some thought, he didn't think it was a good idea.

As for placing the slabs on top of each other, those things are done by Sky.

The most difficult and time taking thing is creating the slabs themselves. Not the stacking them or even fusing them.

For the next four days, he was working on it continuously. After getting a hang of mixing this concrete, he left that work for the Ape and mostly focused on fusing them.

He even laid down a formation to reduce the hardening time by a lot.

Except for the occasional meteorite attacks, the construction went on smoothly.

Within ten days it was done.

He was satisfied with the work he had done. Even though it is not aesthetically pleasing to the eye and the color is not exactly what someone wants to look at, it is a structure that would hold up.

After finishing the construction, Sam went to visit Raunak.

In the past few days, all the city people are curious about Sam. Many of them knew that he pissed of some officials. But they don't know exactly what he did. They were completely denied to sell anything to him.

They are wondering how he would survive as they knew that he is a businessman. A businessman with no other businessmen in touch, which would be a hard thing to overcome.

But they came to know that he is building something in the forest without anyone's help. Everything was done on his own.

This is enough to raise their interest.

Particularly, some men in the construction business are extremely interested in this, so when they saw Sam coming into the city, they have some expressions of greed and there are some people moving into the forest.

Sam went to meet with Raunak. He had to wait a while because Raunak is busy with something. Only after a few minutes, did Raunak came out of the office of the City lord. His expression is cold and unfeeling. Completely unlike his usual self.

"Factory is finished."

Sam didn't beat around the bush and make any small talk.

"Let's go then. All I have to do is record some images of the factory and send them back. Then they would send their representative here."

Both of them started walking to the camp.

"Was all the land you bought used up?" Raunak asked as they walked.

"Not really. There is a lot of space left. The factory for biscuits is not that big. It at most used up half the land."

"Then can I rent a place from you? I need a new office."

"New office?"

"Yes, didn't you say that I need to get out of their grip? In the city lord's office, everyone from faction 1 holds certain high places. They are all keeping an eye on me and they only have one agenda to make life difficult for me. Even though they are not interrupting my administrative matters for some reason, they are sending all the news to that guy.

It would be hard to know what might happen if I was there. At least for now, the deal involved the military and this unit is too special for them to make any move. So, they wouldn't do anything for now. But the same couldn't be said to other deals.

Since I don't need too many approvals from the city lord's office, I decided to distance myself from them. Except for the land dealings and the involvement inside the city, I wouldn't come into contact with them."

"Sure, you can stay there. I don't have any problem."

As they reached the camp, there are sounds of agony coming from there.

Raunak was surprised a bit and asked.

"What happened?"

"Some people might have entered the factory."

They entered the camp only to see some people on the ground crying in pain. They have cut limbs, broken bones and there is even a person that died.

Sam walked into seeing that Ape and Sky are still doing their work. They are currently ordering the shadows around and making the biscuits.

Raunak was a bit surprised to see the five shadows, but he remembered the account of some farmers in cane town about these shadows that helped them in guarding the fields.

He started recording some images of the factory and some images of the production line before going back to the city to hire a courier to send them back.

The couriers are special occupations, to be a qualified courier, one has to meet certain criteria and normal people cannot be couriers. Only civilians can. Because the courier should have permission to travel between different planets.

If a human or centaur can become a civilian, they wouldn't become couriers as they would have a significant status already.

So, couriers are all elves.

They also have to take a forest spirit oath, that they wouldn't compromise the information or any item that was on their hands no matter how valuable it is. They would be dead before they betrayed the information.

They are the category of the people that could be blindly trusted by most of them. Anyway, the information was addressed to that special military unit. The factions wouldn't even have the balls to steal it.

After sending the courier. He worked with Sam to make an office for himself. He shifted most of the documents that should be placed in the office here.

With Sam's help, they have enough defensive measures.

The city lord sent some more documents to fill in the remaining administrative procedures for the shifting of the office.

Now they are two things to do. The first one is to wait for the envoy that would be sent by the military unit and the second one is getting rid of the observers.

Sam is thinking of various ways to deal with them. Burning alive is certainly an option. But he has to think of a different way, only one message is never enough.

He has to make it traumatic enough.

Not just for the people that experienced it, but also for the people that hear about it.

After some thought, he decided to become a mad scientist once again. He started taking various poisons and other plant extracts and made a simple modification to his claws.

In his previous life, claws are Sam's favorite of all weapons, with all the tweaks he made to them, he used them as a go-to in any close combat situation. But when he came here, he has so many other options and there was no longer that burning desire to wear those claws.

That special bond or savagery that was hidden inside him prompted him to wear claws every time has disappeared and he would only use them when he is extremely angry and has a desire to tear some lives apart.

In fact, he is a bit happy that this happened. Now they are nothing but normal weapons to them.

And he is going to use them in special situations where they are needed to do something not normal.
