THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 27. Poaching

On the viewing platform

The audience was no less disappointed with the fight between Sam and the two. They still haven't seen how strong Sam really is. They can only wait in silence.

Time passed slowly. More people are getting eliminated. Slowly approaching the twilight. Sam was currently slowly advancing forward as he slowly took care of the ferocious beast. His steps are slow and steady. But the difference between him and second place is still a lot. Currently, the candidates from the city lord mansion dropped to fourth place as Shawn and Jack finished second and third respectively. They are with 64 and 63 points respectively and they hunt together.

Sam stopped his steps and looked up at the sky. Seeing that twilight had arrived, Sam began to search for traces of people, not traces of animals. Sam has just started following in the footsteps of candidates. He followed them at a fast pace. When he finally met the first group of people, namely the group of three people. They fought with 'Bear Earth'. This type of bear like beast was extremely difficult to defeat as it had incredible defense. Sam did not stay there for a while as he moved without disturbing them.

When the audience at the substation saw this, they were quite confused as to why Sam did not immediately eliminate them. They felt the same confusion when he left Shawn and Jack. Because he did not even hesitate to defeat the noble group for even a second.

After leaving the first group of three, Sam met two other groups of people and they were all candidates from different villages and commoners. He just let them go. Sam continues his journey to find a candidate but he leaves all the commoners alone. Finally, he met a group of three people. There is a familiar face in the group. This person was none other than Raymond. Two other people from the Greyhound family were with him.

Raymond and the others sensed a presence near them with bronze tokens and were wary of them. Seeing them, Sam did not even bother to hide as he looked at the group and appeared. As he stood in front of the three people with a smile, Raymond became startled for a moment then he let out an evil laugh.

"Bahahaha, I wish I could find you, but who knows that you will come to me for your own transgressions. It seems like even heaven is not on your side because they sent you directly to me. This is your karma for humiliating me like that. Now if you don't want to be knocked out now, you better kneel down and apologize, otherwise, even if you beg me after I make a move, you won't get away." Raymond said to Sam coldly.

Sam didn't even bother to answer as Raymond rambled. Seeing Sam just standing there smiling and not even bothering to answer, Raymond became angry and only ordered his subordinates.

"Hit him, until he begs for forgiveness." Once he was done, his subordinates immediately moved. Both of them were Acolyte Level 2 warriors and immediately formed a pincer attack as they held their swords from both sides. Sam did not even care about them as he immediately disappeared from the spot and immediately punched Raymond in the stomach. Raymond was immediately sent flying. As soon as he landed, he spewed out a mouthful of blood.

The spectators on the viewing platform all looked at him in surprise. They did not understand why Sam had actually left everyone he met alone and attacked the candidates from the Greyhound family. In particular, the people from the greyhound family were very worried about Raymond. Because Raymond was a direct descendant of the family, he was in the academy essential for his growth. But when they saw Sam against Raymond, they clearly understood that Raymond's chances of hitting were almost nil.

Sam slowly walked towards Raymond. The two lackeys directly attacked him from behind. But they missed again and by the time they came out of shock for failing to land an attack from behind they saw Sam kicking Raymond who was already on the ground in the stomach and sent flying again. Then the two stopped moving. They understood one thing, if they moved, then Raymond had to bear the consequences. Sam then slowly walked towards Raymond who had just sat down in pain. He crouched down and locked his eyes with Raymond and said.

"You and your people better stop now. Otherwise, I wouldn't even hesitate to kill you." He uttered every word as he unleashed a massive amount of killing intent. Raymond almost peed in his pants. He took his last daring and spoke from his gritted teeth.

"Do you know what you're doing? The Greyhounds won't leave you and will definitely take revenge." Soon after, he regretted the next moment.

As soon as Raymond finished speaking, Sam immediately made a move. He held onto Raymond's neck as he lifted him off the ground. Raymond had trouble breathing as Sam increased the pressure on his neck. Sam then turned towards the minions and said. "You better not do something funny. You two obey and get out of here. Otherwise, don't blame for taking the life of your dear young master."

The two minions immediately reacted and broke their bronze tokens. Then Sam turned towards Raymond and just smiled without saying anything.

In the audience area the head of the Greyhound family stood up and his aura increased upon seeing Sam holding onto Raymond's neck. Everyone else just looked at him without saying anything. The head of the Greyhound family was also very helpless as he could do nothing to help his son and this made him even more furious. Leonard just kept quiet because he had already predicted this result. From Sam's status, his father could do nothing to get revenge. And only he and the people from the Artisan tower and Sam's friends knew about this.

Sam had no idea how angry the head of the Greyhound family he was making and even if he knew, he would not care. Now Raymond panicked in his hands. Sam didn't say anything because he just increased the pressure on Raymond's neck. Raymond finally gave up and immediately issued his token and just as he was about to crack the token, Sam took out the token and pushed Raymond's clothes and said. "Bring to your father." Then he releases Raymond and only looks at him as Raymond breaks his token and disappears.

As Raymond exited the formation. He took a deep breath while looking around. When he looked at the ranking screen, he felt extremely disappointed. There are still a bit more people to get into the top 100. They are currently more than 120 people inside the testing grounds. He slowly walked over to his angry father and handed Sam the letter he had given him. When the head of the family read his letter, he subconsciously let go of his aura. Leonard became more anxious when he saw his father's reaction and became more worried about the consequences. There were others, who were more anxious than Leonard. None other than the village chief of the lava stone village.

He clearly knew that the enmity between Sam and Oliver was not small. He's afraid Oliver will die if he gets into Sam's hands. All he can do is pray that Oliver doesn't meet, Sam.

As time went on, the sky grew darker and became increasingly difficult as it diminished. But the members at the testing site continued to decrease slowly and steadily. Because Sam was on the hunt when he got rid of the noble candidates one by one. After Raymond there were 10 candidates eliminated. And of the 10, six came from noble families that were pushed aside by Sam. They come from the heart field family and the grey dog family. Now all the noble families were eliminated except the candidates from the Evergreen family. All the noble families became furious as they stared at the evergreen head of the family with daggers.

"Marcus. Did you plan all this?" The head of the red fire family asked as he looked at Marcus.

Sam changed his direction as he sensed the immense presence of his waiting token. It seems to be a big group. When he arrived at the group, he hid himself and looked. That group was the largest he had encountered. When he saw who those people were, he immediately smiled. This is the group he was looking for. These were the biggest prey as they were people from the city lord mansion and there were also others who wore ordinary clothes. The people were none other than candidates from the others who represented the village chief under the city lord mansion. He felt so because Oliver was also present in the group. He smiled coldly as he climbed a nearby tree and took out his bow and took aim.

The people in the group looked around vigilantly as they feared a sneak attack.

"Who is hiding? Get out now." The person who seems to be in charge speaks. Sam did not answer and only released the arrow. The arrow pierced through the air as it pierced into Oliver's hand.

"Ahhh" Oliver let out a deafening scream as he looked at his hand. The crowd looked around and they moved towards the central figure speaking earlier. Just before the man in the middle gave another warning, another arrow pierced the other Oliver's hand, making him unable to move it at all. Then Sam came down from the tree as he walked forward and stood a few meters away from the crowd and stood there smiling.

"Who are you? I'm Harry from the city lord's mansion. You better leave before I move. Or you won't be able to escape even if you want to." The man in charge said to Sam.

The city lord became extremely anxious on the viewing platform. Although he thought that the chances of Sam winning against 10 people were low. He still feels quite anxious. He looked at the screen and noticed that there were only 6 additional people left at the testing site. If by chance Harry was knocked out earlier. He'll lose a lot of face.

Sam did not answer Harry's question. Instead, he took out a black-colored metal rod that was slightly more than six feet long. This rod is one inch in diameter. This was also one of the things he forged in the private forging room.

Harry and the others all grew wary. Just as they were about to make the first move, Sam hit them and moved towards them directly. He turned his staff as he moved towards the crowd.

When Sam swung his staff towards the first person in the group, the black stick had a golden glow as a golden fireball formed at the end of the stick. When Sam hits the person, an explosion occurs when the stick makes contact with his body. The man was sent flying when he became unconscious and his skin was charred black. Before the crowd could react, Sam moved and sent someone else flying with another swing.

Harry immediately turned his tail and began to flee. He was afraid of Sam's attack. He only had one thing on his mind. Escape. Sam doesn't mind it. Once he dealt with the other people from the city lord house, the people from the various village heads had already broken their tokens and fled.

When the city lord saw the number on the screen, he heaved a sigh of relief. Although he felt a little embarrassed that his descendants had escaped, he did not care much as long as he survived. Sam slowly walked towards Oliver.

Just as he stood in front of Oliver, a loud voice echoed from all directions.

"Only a hundred people remain. Everyone left on the testing grounds is now qualified to join the Starwood academy." Sam heard the notice and did not react. He just stared at Oliver coldly.

Oliver also did not feel happy when he heard the notice. He only felt his legs tremble as he looked at Sam. He wanted to break his token and escape desperately, but his hand was not in a moving condition. Sam punches Oliver and tells him to sit down.

Oliver who fell down looked at Sam who was crouching with fear visible in his eyes. He felt that he was just staring at the devil rather than the humans. Sam only smiled wickedly as he looked at Oliver coldly.

Sam moved his wand away as he slowly grabbed Oliver's hand and started stroking his finger.

"Sam, please help me. Leave me now. I'll never interfere in your life again." Oliver pleaded with a trembling voice.

*Track* "Ahhhhhhhh.." Sam did not even bother to answer as he broke one of Oliver's fingers.

"Oliver, have you ever thought this day would come?" Sam said as he further twisted the broken finger as several bone fragments protruded out. Sam slowly moved for another finger and once again broke it. In the forest with absolute silence, only cracking sounds and shouts could be heard.

On the viewing platform. The Village Chief from the Lava stone village stood up as he watched his son cry out miserably as he was tortured by Sam. Everyone from the noble family felt lucky because they felt lucky for not doing excessive plans towards Sam. They looked at Oliver with pity as they wondered what kind of enmity they had. After a while Oliver disappears as Sam breaks his token after taking out a spatial ring.

The Village Chief did not say a word and only looked at the scenery. Oliver's name has been placed in the 100th position. But he didn't feel the slightest bit happy.
