After thinking for a while, she smiled as she asked, "I have a suggestion. What about this. Instead of me asking for something from you, why don't we cooperate in finding what you are looking for then we can share it?"
Even though she had previously planned to make sure that Erick was going to break the agreement that was being held by all the organizations present in the stronghold, she had given up on that matter.
Of course, that was only if she gained a considerable amount of benefit from the trip that she had made. In case there wasn't any benefit that she was going to receive, then she was going to make sure that he broke the agreement.
Before the two of them met, she had always been keeping an eye on him. She had seen as he killed off several soldiers. In the end, she wasn't a saint and wasn't willing to intervene.
But due to a certain mistake where a certain idiot came and tried to hit on her, she was forced to utilize her strength to deal with several bodyguards.
The moment that she utilized her strength, she was immediately detected by Erick who rushed over. And since the two of them could not communicate in the middle of the city, they rushed off to the outskirt of the city.
"Dream on! I was offering you a chance to receive something from me but you are actually asking for more?" Erick was immediately infuriated when he heard Samantha's words.
Not to mention if the two of them could actually share what he had come over to take, this was something important that if possible, he really wanted to hide anything concerning it from her.
After all, right at this moment, he wasn't just representing the side that he was in in the organization, but also the whole organization.
Even though the mission that had brought him here was for the side that he was representing, but all of it was for the good of the organization.
They had been keeping a secret for five whole years and he wasn't willing to be the one who was going to leak that secret outside.
He was sure that the moment that this information reached the other organizations, these organizations would definitely do everything they could to get that something that they had obtained 5 years ago.
So, the matter of the cooperation between the two of them was something that Erick didn't really want to consider.
"I gave you an inch yet you are trying to take a mile. This was just an offer that I gave you. It doesn't mean that I am afraid of you or something. If you want us to fight, then bring it on!" Erick spoke in anger.
At this moment, his face was already flashed red from the anger that he was trying to contain inside him. He was always a short-tempered person, but he was trying to rein in the anger that he was having inside him.
Samantha had never expected that Erick would react in such a manner. But considering that a guardian was required for something like this, then it meant that whatever he was here to acquire was so important to the organization.
At this moment, Samantha was already thinking of ways to acquire the thing that Erick had come over to acquire. Perhaps if she could manage to get that thing to the organization, not only would she be rewarded, perhaps even her organization's strength might rise.
Just thinking of that made her eyes glitter with excitement and expectation. And since that was the case, she was definitely not willing to let Erick succeed easily.
"What? I am offering corporation so that we can complete whatever you have come over to look for as soon as possible before other organizations come over. I am sure that you don't want even more attention apart from the one that you are receiving from me now, right?" Samantha stated.
Although it was true that Erick was currently angry, he knew that whatever Samantha had stated was right. Right now, the only option that he had was to find a way to deal with Samantha.
And immediately after that, he had to rush up things so that he could complete the mission that he received as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with great attention on him, it would be a question whether he could actually complete the mission or he might be forced to go back to the organization empty-handed just to preserve the secret.
His lips were twitching as he tried contemplating on what to do. No matter how hard he thought about it, he really couldn't find a solution that was going to solve the current situation.
"What do you think? I know that you are currently looking for a certain soldier. But, with the skills that you possess, I don't believe that you can find that soldier at all." Upon seeing that Erick was silent, Samantha spoke.
"You should know about my abilities at this moment. I can easily find the target that you are looking for. And as such, I can easily help you find the target so that we can complete the mission maybe by tomorrow.
Additionally, I would be doing the majority of the task. So, why is it that you are hesitating just because of 50% of what you are actually here to look for?" Samantha continued.
Erick looked at her with an ugly expression on his face. Even though he wanted nothing less but to beat Samantha up, he managed to hold back his temper.
"What I'm looking for is a person. So, do you think that we can share a person 50-50?" Erick questioned with narrowed eyes.
Samantha had never expected that what Erick was actually looking for was a person and not something from that person who he was looking for.
But still, she didn't believe that there was a chance of that Erick was going to utilize to look for a person, just because he wanted to see that person. There had to be a reason as to why he was looking for that person.
Even though she knew that Erick wasn't willing to reveal that information, then she had to force him to do so. With that thought, her eyes shone with a mysterious glint.
"It is not hard to divide a person into two pieces, right?" Samantha asked with a smile on her face.
Veins popped up on Erick's forehead. He was finding it difficult to restrain the anger that was already raging inside him.
"What the f*ck do you think you are talking about? I came here to look for a person, and now you are trying to tell me that you are going to help me so that I can go back with half of the dead body of the person that I am looking for? Are you mad or something?" Erick practically roared in anger.
Samantha's expression on the other hand was nonchalant. She really didn't care whether Erick was angry or not. It was not like she was afraid of him. If he wanted a fight, then she could definitely fight him.
When he saw that Samantha wasn't willing to compromise, Erick could only swallow the anger that he had. Since it was this way, then there was nothing that he could do.
To preserve the information that he had, he had to find a way to escape from the perception of Samantha. In that way, he could complete the mission so that he could get out of here as soon as possible.
On the other hand, if he failed to do that, then he might as well return to the stronghold so that they could send a person who was at a lower level than him to complete the mission.
Even though the movements that the two organizations had made had already attracted attention, and this was going to make sending another person over quite difficult, Erick didn't have a choice.
No, it should be that this was the best choice that he currently had. If he wanted the secret to be preserved, he had to abandon the mission that he had been given.
As for killing the person who was responsible for killing Yona and the others, that was something that he didn't take seriously at all. He believed that a person who was at a lower level than him could complete the mission as well.
As long as that person wasn't part of the stronghold, or wasn't an elite, the elite from their Panthers organization could take care of him or her.
Without saying another word, Erick turned around and headed towards the city. From his actions, it was clear that there was no any other negotiation that was going to take place. Everyone for themselves at the moment.
Samantha watched as Erick left with a smile on her face. Even though she wasn't sure of the reason as to why Erick was looking for that soldier, she might as well help him in looking for that soldier.
Of course, she wasn't going to look for that soldier so that she can hand him over to Erick. Instead, she was going to try to look for information from that person. And if she failed, she can utilize that person to do a trade with Erick for something bigger.
Although she could have agreed to the condition that she could ask for something from Erick, she didn't want that. She wanted to have the advantage when it came to bargaining.
Immediately after that, she too headed back to the city. She believed that with her abilities, she would be able to find that soldier very soon.
…
Jack had no information that currently, he was being looked for by two powerful people. In fact, one of them had an ability of tracking and he might actually be found very soon.
Jack was currently back in his villa. Since he had left, the two ladies had also left the villa to do other things. So, he was alone in the villa. He was currently on the phone with Denali.
"Denali, I would like you to make several purchases of fighting clubs. Anything that relates to fighting, I would like you to acquire as many as possible. And, please make sure that you don't merge them now.
The merging can be done during the next month just like how we are going to deal with the two entertainment companies." Jack instructed.
