THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 128. Dealing With Marquis

"As for why those people wanted this candidate, even I don't know about it, that level of info is inaccessible to my level. I think only emperors know."

When the Marquis finished explaining this, Sam began to think of a possible reason that the ruler behind the scenes might have to gather all the high-potential candidates in the same place. Some of his thoughts are,

Eating talent.

Paralysing the future elites of the nation.

Sending them to missions only young people are allowed.

Gun decoy soldiers.

In any case, Sam's first chain of thoughts was really the worst.

But he did not think much when the Marquis asked a question.

"Can you tell me the name of the organization?"

Sam shook his head and said. "Absolutely not. Incidentally, if you leak that info to your boss and divulge that I'm the one who gave you that info, I'll be hunted by that organization.

Even if I wasn't afraid of them, I wasn't so free to play chases with them.

But if you want, we can make a deal, I'll give you info on the Blue Fire City branch, while you provide manpower for the battle. We can run a joint operation in this case, but the same rules as the missions apply, the loot will be mine."

The marquis immediately became angry. "Can you be more black-hearted? from what you say, their income is more than taxes and you want to devour all of that?"

"Of course I want to. Do you really have an investigation method to get the info? You will be blocked as soon as you catch some small fries. I'm helping you by helping you clean up trash you can't see let alone clean it up.

So, obviously whatever comes with that trash is mine."

"Cannot be. Fifty-fifty."

"I want at least ninety percent."

"That's impossible. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't know the scale of the loot, I wouldn't have let you swallow all the loot from the Count city. Now, you even want to get your claws on this? Dream about." The marquis almost shouted above his lungs.

Sam just chuckled and replied.

"Alright then, it's your fault. Do you really think that I have no way to take down this organization?

I just don't want to waste my time too much. But come to think of it, since I have eight months until mission time, I will make use of it and handle it. Just wait for my report then.

I'll just take my sweet time and take all the loot. Giving you ten percent to do your job has made me generous."

With that statement Sam stood up and prepared to leave.

"Sixty percent. You got sixty and I'm forty." Sam did not bother to turn around and continued walking towards the door.

"Seventy." Still no reaction.

"Eightieth. Not one percent more." Sam finally stopped and said with a smile.

"Okay, then. I concur. I'll give you the first information after a week. Until then don't call me." He returned to the table and retrieved the formation discs.

Then only the Marquis realized that Sam wasn't even thinking of leaving, he just wanted to get a bigger share. He felt anger rushing to his head in embarrassment.

He quickly recovered and said to Sam.

"Technically, your mission is complete. So I'll tell you about the next phase."

Sam's expression changed immediately. He really wasn't a fan of the mission and these things.

There was one time when Sam even thought that the emperor who was not even popular in the Marquis city took advantage of this competition and let the candidates do his bidding. After all, what's with the mission of clearing the underground forces?

Seeing Sam's serious expression, the marquis chuckled and said.

“Not as you think? All you have to do is study and cultivate. You'll be given access to the tower's library and they have insight into things. So you just have to read it.

But this mission is not mandatory. You will not be forced to read it. It is entirely your choice. But the catch is only twenty members who will be selected to the next stage. Ten members would be eliminated from the current thirty.

And your team is lucky, because you all finish this early and also do more work than expected, no one will be eliminated. But since we made a deal, Jasmine will be withdrawn."

After confirming the details, Sam left the place. He still had many things to do and one of them was to move against the Black Water branch in this city.

Even if they did not know about the first two cities, they would definitely think of a way to mess with Sam since he took the belongings from the Cougar family which was also the Black water branch in Cougar town.

But Sam is not too worried, because of the scale of operation and the influence of Black water, even if they do not know the internal details, it is not, they can clearly guess the importance of this competition and the fact that Sam is untouchable now.

So, Sam has room to breathe and he can plan against them. He couldn't possibly let them pass the information to their superiors and make them suspect him as well.

That was the reason he made a deal with the Marquis. He said there was time, in fact. In a few months, that Sam didn't want them to do.

After he returns to the Mansion, Sam sends Watt to the slums to inquire about some small gangs and leaves a shadowy mouse to track their operations.

This is actually the best way to proceed. Only the underground members will know about the other gangs operating and the best way to get the info is to corner one of them and show them that there is no other way to free in addition to providing info.

Sam gave the necessary instructions and immediately went to his room where he entered the divine dimension.

He had something important to do now and that was to check the poison pond and the hydra skeleton. At the same time, he needs to unseal the eggs, so that the child can come out.

Sam walked towards the large pond filled with poisonous liquid and stood on its edge. He actually wore that breathing mask to make sure that he was not infected by the air around the pool.

In the middle of the pond, there was a large skeleton and a large egg with runes.

Sam focused on how to get the skeleton when he was under the sea, so he did not get a chance to observe the skeleton.

He stood on the hoverboard and floated towards it as he looked at the gigantic structure.

The Hydra has nine snake heads. The cervical spine was a combination of thousands of small joints, Sam could not help but admire the bone structure of that legendary beast.

Although their heads resembled snakes, they were much more ferocious.

Sam took out a small dagger and scratched its surface, but the tip of his dagger peeled off.

He had already expected this but he tried to do so to check if there were any additional effects but his weapon was not strong enough to check it.

After admiring his bones, claws, and fangs, Sam finally moved towards the pond.

Sam takes out a Katana named executioner and submits it.

He slowly dipped it into the pool.

Sam had a hunch that the pool was mostly formed due to hydra blood and diluted with seawater.

If it was really blood, then there would definitely be blood essence.

When Sam placed his blade inside the pond, the poison started to damage the blade, but before the effect occurred, the blade shone slightly as it started to absorb the blood essence.

Sam could only smile.

Now, he got another card up his sleeve. If he let the executioner absorb the blood essence from the entire pond, then there might be some interesting ability added to the sword.

He could use the reaper to collect the blood of his enemies outside and let the executioner flourish by gathering the essence of the pond.

Sam floated to the center of the pond and placed it vertically with the skeleton as a buffer.

No matter how slow it was, it still absorbed the blood essence.

Now, the last task, unseal the egg.

Sam walked out of the formation with the egg behind him and went to an open area in the water zone.

The zone of water in dimensions is half earth and half water.

The water was like a big lake, but it was only useful for ferocious beasts and Sam was unable to use it as he wished.

Sam took out a large number of formation flags and placed them. He needed a lot of water-type spiritual energy.

And Sam had many water spirit stones from the loot of three coastal cities.

He put it all in formation.

After that, Sam pricked his finger with a dagger and spat out blood. He placed the egg in the middle of the formation as he began to make a mark on the egg.

Now, the final step is to leave the formation active and leave the egg open. The process until the egg hatches will depend entirely on the formation and runes he drew.
