<h4>Chapter 1681: Cooperation</h4>


    Noah cleared the deal with her n, while Kumar also did the same.


    By the evening of the second day, both of them met in a secluded spot between both of the ns along with the representatives from the respective ns.


    "This is the n. We are going to target the Sura n from two sides. One party is in charge of taking care their business, another party is in charge of taking care of their resource points.


    We will not assign the tasks separately to a single n. Rather, both ns will provide people, both Noah and I are going to assign members to the teams and appoint leaders based on the information we got.


    This way, you wouldn''t have to fear that one n is going to hoard all the resources they got from a single point.


    Also, our main focus is the businesses and resource points that are under the control of Brig''s students.


    The only reason we are attacking the remaining businesses and resource points is to divert some of the forces of the Sura n.


    And as you already know, they used quite some resources to fight off the n 6''s premature attack. So, we have that for an advantage.


    We are going to pressure his students and try to kidnap them with every attack.


    That too, if they are present there."


    "What do you mean if they are present there? Even though he likes his students, they are living outside, because they need to grow themselves. Even if he anticipated the attack, he wouldn''t be anticipating that his students are being targeted."


    One of the n members spoke.


    "Generally, that would be the case. But the situation is different.


    Just like how we arrived at your n to help you steal the technique, there is another guy that went to Sura n to do help him save the technique from you guys.


    And it is not an exaggeration to say that whatever we do, he can do it better and faster. He is just that good."


    "Then we might as well go and try to get him on our side instead of working with you."


    Another one of the n members said with a sneer.


    "It would indeed be a better option, if you can bring him to your side. But you have the same chance to directly convincing Brig to handover the technique as convincing this guy toe work with you.


    Both are nigh impossible.


    Even we don''t know how exactly that guy''s thought process works, but one thing we are sure is that he will think of every possibility.


    So, attacking Brig''s students might just be one of the first thoughts that pops up in his mind."


    "Then, why are we still doing this?"


    "Because, we have limited options. The Sura n is not going to make it easy for you and a direct war is something I assume you would like to avoid at the start.


    We are going to make the most obvious moves now, but our trick is that we are going to hide our identities and do it. We are not going to reveal who did it. And if possible we are going to throw the me on the n1, n 2 and n3.


    Pick a n that is most likely do this and create the scene as if they did it.


    We are going to stir the storm behind the scenes and reap rewards when all the parties are vulnerable."


    "This is way tooplicated. Why don''t we just wait out for now? The other four ns already shot at the Sura n.


    So, if we just sit this one out and let them do the fighting, we can swoop in and deal the final blow. We will split the rewards and continue the war with the new technique."


    "You don''t have such a long time. We only have six days.


    Within these six days we need to finish the task and be done with it."


    "Why only six days? We can take a slow approach."


    "Because after six days, Brig will have some contingencies set up that are arranged by the goddess he is worshiping. The same goddess that bestowed the technique to him.


    So, if you are confident in taking care of that, then you can take your time.


    And we won''t be staying here after these six days. No matter what the progress is, we will be leaving this ce.


    I hope you understand that.


    That is why, we are trying to elerate the dispute. We will destroy the businesses, resource points and attempt kidnap at multiple asions. The only thing we don''t do is reveal our identities.


    We should not leave obvious and easy clues. They should be indirect,plicated, but should be urately pointing them to the targeted n.


    That is why, we need to pick a n that both of you are familiar with and also have a lot of information on.


    If you can pick one like that, then we are good to go."


    The n representatives both exchanged a look.


    All seven major ns here have some differences. They have some friction. But there are obviously some ns that do not have that much of bad blood.


    They don''t hate each other to guts.


    And obviously there are some ns that they hate to their guts. Coincidentally, both n4 and n5 hate one n passionately.


    "n1." Both representatives spoke at the same time.


    Noah and Kumar exchanged a nce in surprise.


    "It seems like you found themon ground pretty quick."


    "Well, there is not muchpetition obviously. If you have brought any two ns, there is a good chance that n 1 would be their choice."


    "That''s actually good for us. Makes things easier.


    There is something else that we need to agree on. A base of operations. All the people that are involved in this situation should be operating from this ce only.


    We not operating from either of the n grounds. We are going to run this as a joint operation. All the achievments, gains, battle records, ns, strategies, everything is going to be transparent.


    You wouldn''t be able to leave to your n until the operation ends. You are going to stay here, move from here andeback here.


    If you are okay with that, we can proceed."


    "Why is that?"


    "We don''t want you guys to have all this stupid politics influencing the whole mission. We are here to win and we are going to do that by hook or crook.


    If you want that technique and much more from the Sura n, you have to follow our words to the tee and keep your individual benefits behind it.


    For the time we are staying here, all the profits will not be divided based on the ns. We are going to share them based on the contributions of the teams and the teams can decide on how they split the stuff.


    As for the rest, you can do whatever the fuck you want after we left.


    Does that sound good?"


    The n representatives thought for a while. They didn''t know if they arefortable with this, but after some contemtion, they agreed to this.


    "This went smoother than we thought. Thank you for this. Now, let''s pick the teams."


    The deal was sealed.


    Back at Sura n.


    Sam threw a scroll onto the table. It opened up on the table and it waspletely drawn with different ns.


    "As you can see, this is the detailed n that we have for dealing with the two ns n3 and n4.


    Please ask me any doubts you might have."


    "You came up with a n already? You didn''t get the full information."


    "It doesn''t matter. I can do a lot with the information that I have at my hands."


    "Then I hope yours works well. Because we don''t really have much information from my side.


    All we know is there are two people that came to the ns. One woman and a man.


    Both of them match the descriptions you gave us and they got close to the core members. They took a rtively milder approach and they from what we learned, they went outside with some members.


    Apart from that, there are no other movements from both of those ns.


    Sam looked at the matching descriptions. Noah and Kumar.


    "Oh, this is going to be interesting. Are their approaches same?"


    "Yes, almost. But I thought that is typically how you guys approach except for you. Because the guy attacked with n 6 yesterday, also had a rtively minor approach just like this."


    "It doesn''t matter. I don''t know what exactly are they nning. But there is a slight possibility that they are working together. That will not hinder our n though. We are going to continue with what I proposed. So, let''s get this party started.


    I want you to send a group of people to execute the first step of n."
