THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 129. Visit from the Capital of the Dukedom

Sam stood in one place as he controlled the formation. The blood marks he drew started to light up and started to move towards the Blood mark drawn by the Hydra.

Immediately, the two runes merged and started circling around the egg with a bright light.

After more than an hour, the runes disappeared rapidly.

Now, the water spiritual energy would be absorbed by the egg until it hatched.

All he had to do was wait and he didn't have to wait inside the dimension.

Sam came out of the dimension and started heading out. Because, it had been about four months, it was time for him to collect profits from his business.

But there were some guests waiting for him below. They are Maya and Jasmine.

They stood up when they saw Sam coming. Jasmine was still a little unstable due to the trauma.

So, she wasn't as bright as before when she saw Sam, but she still got a little better and showed a smile to him.

Sam returned his smile and gestured for them to sit down.

"Thank you Sam for saving and taking care of him. Last time I didn't get to say thank you." Maya said in a low voice.

"Don't say that. I've spoken to the Marquis; he won't go to the next phase of the competition." Sam did not even ask for his opinion anymore; he had just made a decision. She becomes more determined when she learns that Maya used the Artisan tower to forcibly place Jasmine in the competition.

After all, one must think before taking action. Does every big thing lead to opportunity? Maya doesn't even think about what kind of competition it is and what could happen to Jasmine because of her son's personality like that and sends him to the competition by pulling a few strings.

He really doesn't like that.

Jasmine didn't say anything about it. In fact, he was rather relieved. He really dislikes this task and phase.

"thank you. I want to talk to him too."

Then he took out a spatial ring and gave it to her.

Sam secretly kept it without a refusal. If she doesn't, Maya might think Sam has other intentions. At least, Sam would have done it if he was in his position.

Some things are better left as a business.

After that Sam left.

He went to Chaya again and took his income. He had made about 7 million spirit stones this time.

After checking that everything was fine in the shops and restaurants, Sam ate well and returned to the Mansion.

He needed to think of a plan to fight against the Black water branch, as he was unsure of their strength this time around.

He did not know whether the branch leader was a person in the cultivation of the Grand realm or a realm beyond that.

From what he knew about the organization, they operated with the same power as the authorities in the city. So there was likely someone whose cultivation was outside of the Grand Realm which made his plan a little difficult.

If he plans perfectly, he is confident to take him down and he has more than one way to do it.

And for the first plan, he could use hydra poison, whereas for the second plan, he had to get out of town and look for something.

Sam returned to the mansion and entered the courtyard. Now that he could distinguish the gas from the air, he began to train in that direction, but this time, he also tried it with the light element. He wanted to separate the spectrum of light.

If he could do it, he could have many uses, even if it was not offensive, he could still use it for many additional purposes.

So he went to practice in the yard.

But when he went there, he saw that Watt and Jack were already practicing a match while Philip was leaning against a tree when he saw the two were competing.

Sam notices that Watt is practicing close combat, he is not using his cards or his wind blades. He didn't even use any martial arts, then only Sam remembered that he had never given Watt empty-handed combat techniques.

But when he saw Watt's movements, he was rather amused.

Watt used his body very roughly. There is no efficient movement. But he tried to familiarize his body with the attacks and tried to find the most efficient movements.

He couldn't muster enough courage to ask Sam for fighting techniques, so he tried his best to fight in his own style.

The most important thing of all is, he's copying what Sam's doing. Just as Sam uses the tail wind of an attack to become a sharp blade that almost renders him untenable, he also made the tail wind sharp but he was not used to it yet and Jack could maintain it easily.

After several exchanges, Watt is sent flying and only they see Sam standing there.

"Wow, jack you got guts. Sam's subordinate is bluffing right under his watch. Didn't you ask for a beating?" Philip immediately said with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Sam did not reply and just looked at Philip. Then he turned towards Jack and said.

“That's right, you do have guts, but you're still in the early stages of Beginners and it's unfair if I hit you, so Philip will teach you a lesson in my name.

Philip immediately lost the color of his face. He didn't expect Sam to be able to repay him like that.

Philip wanted to find an excuse, but Sam cut his way of thinking with his words.

"Philip is not a friend, I even let you stay at my place for so long. You really have to help me. Otherwise, you will be known as an ungrateful and evil friend."

Philip looked at Sam who had been wearing a flat face. But he cursed in his mind.

'Isn't shameless my feature? When did this strong and arrogant Sam learn to be this shameless?'

But what Sam did next, made him gnash his teeth even more.

"Everything out, Philip challenged Jack to a duel." Sam shouted to all the members inside the mansion.

Soon, Hawk, Kelly, Drew, Ray all came to the courtyard as they looked on with hope and the main reason was, they never saw Philip fighting properly.

Even in the Falcon Cliff city, he faced his opponent easily and Jack did the same. They hope to find a great fight.

Philip did not even know what to do and reluctantly accepted the duel. But the result was that he was defeated without much resistance. It only lasted ten minutes and all this time, Jack had the upper hand.

But only two people know that reality is actually different.

Philip lost intentionally. Jack and Sam were the only ones who saw this.

After the duel was over, Philip walked up to Jack and said. "Sorry."

He apologized because, he felt so disrespectful not to give his all against a guy like Jack.

But he had his reasons.

He looked at Sam and said. "Gosh, you're not fun." Just to get Sam's cynical smile.

After everything was done, Sam and Watt lived there.

"I'll give you a fighting technique tomorrow."

Watt thanked me and left the page.

Sam trained day and night, he entered the tower in search of fighting techniques.

After an entire night of searching, he finally found one and copied it for Watt.

The next day after giving the technique, Sam returned to the yard for practice.

For the next few days all he did was practice and after a week, the first report of the shadow rats came.

They control the headquarters of the largest gang in the slums. That's what the Tiger gang calls it.

The leader is the late-stage Novice, which requires Sam to move in person.

Sam starts making preparations and also has Jack and Watt get ready.

They planned to make a move the next night, but the next morning, Sam received a message from the Marquis to visit the mansion and the details were truly shocking, as well, because someone from the Duke capital came to visit him and he was asked to visit immediately.

Sam had no idea what had happened, but he still held the reaper on his waist and went to the Marquis' house with Jack.

When he was near the Marquis' house, there were many people waiting there while pointing fingers at him and his sword as they whispered something.

Sam suspects that news of the Cougar family massacre has spread.

The hope was right and his visit here was also about the same.

When Sam entered the meeting room, the Marquis was sitting in his chair and another young man who seemed to be around twenty years old was sitting nearby.

Sam sat across from the man as Watt stood behind him.

Sam was primarily brought in to expand the horizon of the latter as well as to introduce it to the world.

The young man also had some subordinates standing behind him and they stared at Sam and Watt with disdain from the moment they entered the room.

Sam did not care about them at all as he ignored their existence and looked at the Marquis with a questioning look.

"Well, Sam Artisan. This is Young Master Nicholas. Duke Junior of the Southern Dukedom stars."

"Young master Nicholas. This is Artisan Sam. He was not only a Rank 5 Scholar Artisan, he was also proficient in forging weapons, Tailor Artisanship."

His words were more like a suggestion to both sides to act carefully by mentioning their status rather than introductions.

The two young men noticed this but they didn't seem to care.
