THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 216. Consequent

That night almost all the imperial capitals were awake. The commotion itself was on a whole new level, but the news of Sam cutting off Prince Nathan's hand after beating him to a pulp had spread throughout the citizens.

The news spread like wildfire.

The six swords of the Marshall sword, which were the most carefree combat units in the entire empire were also shocked.

They were not afraid of the imperial family, as they were proud of their abilities and achievements and the imperial family had some leeway for them, but even they were not brave enough to cut off the Prince's hand, he said, but Sam did just that and he did that in an arrogant way.

The one that featured the night more was the Princess. The Princess's face has not been revealed to the public since her birth and only a select few have known her, but Sam has not only made it out, he also cut off his arm a few days before his eighteenth birthday - one of the greatest events of his life.

Even Philip and Jack were shocked by Sam's actions even though they had expected it.

The only two people who did not lose their composure were Sam and Watt.

Sam goes into his room, while Watt tidies up the place. He threw out the skeletons of the stooges who had become food for the termites and locusts and even threw out the prince and princess who had fainted from blood loss on the street.

Fortunately, the six swords were quite good and took the princess and the prince away to the imperial palace.

Sam went to bed, while the others were busy cleaning up the mess.

After the six swords delivered the two imperial family descendants to the palace, they continued on their own journey.

The imperial palace is in chaos.

The imperial physician was tasked with healing and regrowing the arms of both upper trunks.

Meanwhile, three people gathered in a small meeting room.

They were Emperor Orion, the Crown Prince and the last one was a woman, empress. She is the mother of the crown prince, Prince Nathan and Princess Natalie.

She was the emperor's most beloved woman and was also quite strong with the Nascent Peak stage cultivation guarding the vast harem under his iron hands.

These three important figures of the Orion kingdom were currently sitting inside the room in a gloomy mood.

The empress in particular had a darker face than charcoal.

"I want them dead. Four little bastards dare to do this to my daughter and son, I want them all dead. Not even a normal death, I want them to die a terrible death that will make them feel a great despair." The empress shouted at the silent emperor with a very thoughtful expression.

The empress was dissatisfied with her silence and shouted.

"What's the point of you becoming an emperor if you can't even take care of your own children?"

"That's because I am the emperor, I must take a careful step forward."

The emperor said in a soft and calm tone.

The Crown Prince remained silent and pondered over his father's words.

The Emperor still thought after leaving those words behind.

He was thinking about Sam's actions.

Why would a young man become so bold as to directly make a prince and princess in the imperial capital flawed?

There are only two reasons.

One is that the person is very stupid or the other person must have to keep himself from harm regardless of the consequences that may be suffered.

But this only applies, if the person does not know the immunity that the people behind the scenes give to the candidates.

If Sam really knew about the people behind the scenes and their need for talented young people, then the emperor could confirm that Sam was confident that he could do anything in the capital.

But that raises another question. How did Sam know about those people?

If based only on observation, intuition and deduction, then Sam is a very dangerous candidate. He was a very dangerous person where one had to avoid making enemies unless they were very confident in dealing with him.

Since a man could guess this much from just a few competitions, then he could subtract so much from other things. He will calculate to the extreme and will have contingency plans for every possible scenario where things can go wrong.

He had already read all the information they could possibly get about Sam the day before. He knew from then on that he was not the one who picked up the item while lying down and it would be strange if a young man with such achievements took the item while lying down.

He wanted to warn his son not to push too far, but it was too late to do so. Sam moved faster than he expected.

But there was one more thing, he was also an emperor and he also did not take things by lying down, he had to take revenge for his son. Even if it was delayed and it was impossible soon, he would definitely do it.

"You're just silent for now, the competition is too important and if I make the wrong move, we'll lose the entire kingdom out of our hands, so just hold it for now. I'll find a way to get revenge."

With those words, he expelled the Empress who was still angry and then spoke to the Crown Prince about how to calm the citizens about the chaos in the city.

Sam and his team are not out, the only other group that does no harm is the southern star group led by Nicholas.

Sam takes cards from all the seeded candidates who have the possibility of winning the top ten.

They're all empty now.

The little fries hired from them started to see opportunities from them because Sam didn't bother taking their cards, only until the big shots showed their fangs.

Since they can't do anything to Sam and they desperately need the points, they recover as quickly as possible and finish off all the fries.

Thus, elimination begins even before evaluation.

Even the Prince was trying to collect points as fast as he could and then only the small fries understood the desperation of being stabbed in the back and treated as pawns.

They used to target Sam and his friends and now they are being hunted by young heroes to earn their points.

Some of them even wanted to shamelessly ask Sam for help to say things like, 'we were being manipulated back then.' 'A man of your stature shouldn't be this small and you should help us.'

The only answer for them was that their arms were cut off again.

They painstakingly paid over ten million to heal their arms but were now cut off again.

So, no one dared to bother Sam anymore.

Meanwhile, Sam and his group are busy sharing their big catch. What the six swords said was true.

Hidden cards were true treasures and they took all day to transfer all the points to their three cards. They couldn't help but feel surprised.

They really hope that these points mean more than just rankings. They have too much.

They spent their days cultivating and resting and soon came the day where they had to go out.

The day before the ceremony. Days for the top ten results people came out.

Because, Sam's trio took the top three spots, there were only seven for the rest to fight for.

Nicholas was actually pretty good and secured sixth place.

Fourth is Nathan, fifth Patrick.

The remaining four places were obtained by a person named Fermi who was the son of the head of the pharmaceutical tower in seventh place.

Tiger in eighth place.

Morgan in ninth place and finally Jerry in tenth place. The last three were the Duke's sons.

The princess and her assistant seemed to withdraw from the competition.

Only today, their positions were announced and not points.

Sam, Jack and Philip take the top three each.

There was another announcement that day.

"Your position in the rankings is not final yet, but I'd advise you to keep your own point cards, those points are entirely yours and you'll have many uses for it in the future.

But the real ranking will be determined tomorrow after Princess Natalie's banquet. All of you should visit the imperial palace at sunset.

After the banquet is over, the ten of you will go through a hand-to-hand battle, similar to the way you get ranked in the rank of a duke.

So prepare. And everyone has to wear formal attire for the ceremony and you can change your war clothes afterwards."

After the announcement was over, everyone left in their own way.

Sam was quite busy over the past few days, his actions were a bit strange as he gathered all the weapons they had gathered from the candidates.

The remaining three felt strange about his actions.

But that night, the day before the ceremony, they saw what Sam had made of the past few days and were dumbfounded.

It's a work of art.

"I plan to settle in the imperial capital in the future for some time and this will be placed in my meeting room. How'd it look?" Sam asked them with a smile, his three friends were too surprised to even speak.
