THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 208. First Target

After exiting the estate, Jack and Philip board their new pet while Sam and Watt choose their board as usual.

The capital is huge and many people here use their pets to travel. People who walk are not many.

They went to the Artisan tower and Sam used the same way he used in the south star, contacted the 5th ranked Artisan Architecture and asked for help to find a house.

Just like the southern star, the Imperial capital was also divided into various zones.

The middle zone was for nobles and the imperial family and no one could enter the place. In addition to the nobles of the officials and great figures of the four professional towers also lived there.

The guards would not let anyone enter the place that easily. The person must have a very high status or must have invitations from the people who live in it.

Outside the zone, rich people who were not nobles lived there, this was the inner zone.

The outside zone is the business zone and the last one is the normal zone.

Sam bought a house in the inner zone, this was not a mansion, but just a duplex house, with a small courtyard but it still cost him fifty million.

After buying a house, the four of them went to a nearby restaurant to eat, while eating they started discussing about the competition.

Sam, first set up the data he knows.

There were teams from every rank of a duke and from the imperial capital there were two teams.

Each team consists of ten people.

Now, after the competition began, the teams were divided and should only be considered as a hundred participants.

During the meeting, Sam observed the remaining teams, especially the two teams from the capital.

One of the two teams was actually made up of descendants of nobles and officials. The second team consisted of commoners. The leaders of the nine teams seemed to be famous and wealthy people, as he could observe pride and arrogance.

These people might be descendants of the Duke or Generals of each Dukedom.

As for the leader of the first imperial team, he was called Nathan the Prince and the elder brother of the princess. He was the second most favored prince after the crown prince, as both were from the same mother and so was the princess.

Second team leader, the, it was rather interesting because the person was wearing clothes that made it difficult to explain whether it was male or female and even his face was covered in a mask that seemed to be inscribed to ensure that their face was hidden.

Even the second ranker of the second team wore the same outfit except the second ranker was maroon, while the first ranker was Black.

From what he observed, the highest cultivation was a middle-level realm Supreme level at Level 4 or 5. The lowest is the Peak level of Beginners.

These are all the things they saw, heard, or knew from the meeting.

"So, how should we go any further in the competition, should we target one person at a time?" Philip asked while biting a large piece of meat.

"Well, from what I see, it doesn't matter what we do, because there will be very few people who won't form a team. There was a high chance that the first rankers would be left alone, as they were the main targets for any team.

And the team will not be too big because there will be a great possibility to be betrayed because it will be difficult for everyone to watch out for. So, it wouldn't be much different if we targeted solo players from team players."

Sam answered.

"Don't that mean, you're the biggest target of all?" exclaim Philip.

Sam looked at him as if he was an idiot, why ask such an obvious question? The worst part was that Sam could not even guess whether this man was actually asking or just being dramatic.

"Why? You want to target me too, or what?"

"I don't really need a beating." He immediately lowered his voice.

Sam did not bother him and said.

“I think the best course of action for us is to wait. Because, even if we don't go and find out our target, there will definitely be some people who will come looking for me, to get the Jackpot.

From what I know, the remaining first rankers were all below Nicholas in battle prowess because every descendant of the nobility was beaten by him, he said, so I highly doubt anyone will pass twenty-five thousand points even with the added bonus of ranking.

So I'm the biggest target.

Which means, the smart ones will come to me to like the problem in the last week, he said, the cunning ones will stay on the side as we struggle and try to get all that for themselves and the simple-minded ones will want to find me from the very beginning.

That's why, I suggest we don't search for them proactively, instead, let's complete the mission and find the hidden card, instead, while we're just taking care of the people who are chasing us and we're just chasing someone else in the last week.

At that time, the most cunning batch will also come out and the most capable and straightforward people already have a lot of points ready for us to take."

Philip and Jack began to ponder what Sam had said. It is true that the person who has the most points from the start will be the target the most.

What Sam said was worth doing.

Philip said he agreed while Jack also complied. Watt seriously focused on his food.

After that, they ate well and were on their way back to their new home.

But as soon as they get out of the restaurant…

*Swoosh*

An arrow came towards Sam with electric blue lightning crackling around him, but before the arrow hit him, his arm shone with a golden light as he caught the arrow and looked in its original direction.

Sam notices that the terrace of the building opposite with the arrow that should have been fired was empty, the assailant escapes after the failed attack. But Sam didn't let that go.

He rode his harbinger and floated like the wind and reached the terrace, there was no sign of anyone fleeing at all. No matter how fast the person was, it was almost impossible to disappear without leaving a trace, unless that person possessed a treasure like Sam's divine dimension.

He went to the alley behind the building and searched around. Meanwhile, he quietly let the shadow rats out and made them scout the area.

Although they did not see the person, if he hid in a secret area, the shadow rat had a better chance of finding him.

Sam looked around cautiously.

He watches people's expressions. There's no interference whatsoever. The people around him behaved normally. They looked at Harbinger curiously, but just that, there was no other expression.

This area is near the intersection of the Business zone and the inner zone, so it is quite luxurious. So, its mass is very little.

Sam felt that the attacker had to be very close as it was difficult to escape that fast without informing the people around him.

After a few seconds, Sam closed his eyes and became calm, he watched the people around him well and his eyes were fixed on an old man, who came out of the bar and walked away, without looking at Sam.

This caught his attention, and after observing for a moment, he took out a golden Crescent Moon and aimed an arrow as he aimed at the old man without much argument or confrontation.

He spread out a thread and started condensing spiritual energy, the 'old man' was terrified and was about to escape, Sam released an aura that hit the old man right on his back.

The crossbow tail wind was as sharp as the tip, as it tore a few holes at the back.

Sam moved and stepped on the old man's hand and tore the mask off his face, before dragging his neck.

This was a young man who came from the rank of another duke. Sam had seen this guy before in the assembly.

He dragged the man back to the entrance of the restaurant, only to see Philip Jack and Watt holding the other two men.

"Five people ambushed us as soon as you left, but they left these two people here and fled. They don't have a lot of points on their cards, only about three to four thousand."

"Let's get them back to our place."

Then, after half an hour.

The three attacking people knelt down in front of Sam and the others, in the basement. This is one of the reasons Sam pays for this house, the basement will come in handy and especially in this kind of situation.

After some serious threats, the three began to confess.

These people were from one team and their team consisted of six members; what was interesting was that not all of them were from the same Dukedom.

The entire team consists of the bottom two ranks or three Dukedoms.

Sam is surprised that not only do they create a team without much knowledge about each other, but they somehow try to ambush them.

He was even more surprised to learn that he was not their target. Their real targets are Philip and Jack.

They somehow find out that Sam doesn't like it when someone pisses him off and he's very persistent in his revenge, but they also hear that he's quite strong, so they make plans. One of them will sneak attack Sam, to lure him away, the remaining five will attack Philip and Jack takes their points.

The plan was actually pretty good, except that from whoever they got the news it didn't say anything about Philip's and Jack's battle prowess making them misjudge the situation.

In fact, they say that this really worked on some of the smaller teams and now they want to try their luck on the big fish.

Sam was even more surprised that these guys beat some of the smaller teams. That is, since dawn these people do not rest or waste time. They are fully active. Now, due to the wrong choice of target, the three are now prisoners.

"So, what are we going to do with them? Killing is forbidden, right?"

ask Jack.

"Exit points and return their cards, but don't let them leave that place. I'll lay down some formations to imprison them, let the remaining teammates take the bait and come here. Since the three are separated, the team cards are worthless. Let's see if they'll come here to pick it up so they can access points on the team's cards or they'll drop points just."
