THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 339. Rumours

News of Sam's disappearance spread like wildfire. Sam is a kind of celebrity in the western continent. Still, not many know of his involvement in directly killing Oscar.

They did get to know him through the wanted notice to him by the former emperor Orion, his involvement in causing war, his rampage that destroyed nearly half of the empire's resources, and the latest thing about him is his latest invention in the field of communication devices and railways.

Almost every person in the western continent had heard of his name if they did not see him.

He disappeared from the public more than a year ago. But the commoners and low-level officials did not know that he went to the thunder god temple, because they did not even know the existence of the place.

All they know is Sam lives in that magnificent skyscraper and not many people can meet him.

At first, as the news spread, the high officials did not care much about this, but then they even felt panicked because they knew the secret behind her true disappearance in the Beast faction.

But unlike the six major powers, these guys got used news that largely illustrates the impossibility of Sam's survival.

Many people in the higher positions of the network made Sam anxious for a reason and some high-level people went to Arc to confirm the news about this.

Arc who was also unable to access the live information such as the main force, inevitably felt uneasy and visited Moriya to confirm the news.

"Mrs. Moriya, may I know if Sam is okay?"

Moriya was silent for a moment and replied.

"He's not at the thunder god's temple right now and we don't know where he is. But from the information we received, he visited another great power called the Beast faction and experienced an incident after which no one knew of his current status."

Arc felt numb after listening to him.

"Is there no way to tell if he's alive?"

"From this moment? No."

Arc did not know if he should publish this news outside, but before he could decide on his next course of action, the news had already spread.

For some reason, some higher-ups in Sam city who run the factory and communication network contacted him and asked if Moriya really said that or not.

This makes him quite confused. He had already wondered who spread this news from the start and he was already troubled by the sensitive information that was now leaking and he did not know if he could handle the aftermath.

The authority that Sam holds is not something that can be replaced and once his presence disappears many people are eyeing the piece of meat he leaves behind, the entire network and source of income he creates will be completely destroyed, there was no way anyone else could take over this unless under the control of the empire itself, it was difficult to keep a balance.

But it was impossible for the empire to take over it, as the four main towers were heavily involved with this project and there was no way they would let the empire take this piece of fatty meat out of their hands, especially in this type of situation.

The moment he brainstormed on how to think of a solution in a situation like this, the entire network was already in chaos.

Factions were already formed and the four great powers in charge of the most numerous manpower were divided completely into four large factions to gain a large share besides there were several other small factions formed by people in various professions. Some of the management staff had already chosen which faction to suck.

Arc nearly fainted from the tension. Many people from these factions tried to contact him for support.

They try to use his power to suppress the other voices because Sam's presence is the only thing that prevents them from trying something funny and now there must be a similar deterrence and the emperor becomes the perfect one.

They didn't want him to take over the entire network but they still needed his strength to take over itself.

After all, Arc wasn't too enthusiastic about taking over the network, since he had his own responsibilities and many of them as an emperor, he didn't want to burden himself more.

But he still had to find a way to escape this distraction.

And right now, he's got a visit from Arman.

"I heard there were some problems caused due to Sam's disappearance. May I know the real situation?" He asked with a friendly smile.

After saying everything, he couldn't help but ask.

"Can you tell me what the chances of Sam leaving permanently are?" He asked hesitantly.

Arman put on a sad face as he said in a heavy tone.

"Let's see, this is actually a very dangerous situation. Fighting with great power was no joke and even more so if they were eager to kill them. I really can't imagine what kind of situation Sam is in.

We actually have a great relationship, since the last time he visited the thunder god temple for the competition. I tried to coax him out of this situation a few times, but he still insisted on leaving like that.

He didn't even go in person, he actually slipped out of the place and we just found out that he's gone after two days."

His voice and expression made his words feel very sincere.

After a short pause, he said.

"He didn't tell me that he was going to leave because he didn't want to warn the thunder god temple, you might not know this, but he never actually joined the thunder god temple, either, or he did, it was actually a deal with the temple chief. .

Since Nicholas and I were part of the thunder god temple, I thought he didn't feel comfortable telling us and now we're both very worried about the situation. I just want to know if there's a way for me to help him out of this situation."

He left the room with those words.

Arc looked at Arman's back with a look of caution. At first, he felt extremely doubtful of his words no matter how trustworthy his words were.

Because, he knew Sam wasn't so easy to make friends with and his circle of friends was so small, his three close friends were with him all the time.

But he felt his words were a little believable when he heard the words about Sam not actually joining the thunder god temple.

Because he knows the situation. Sam specifically tells this to him to make sure that neither he nor the network members will have any idea of taking over Sam's place.

He thought hard for a while and let it, for now, he decided to put this network's thoughts aside for a while and would handle it when the situation turned desperate.

While the situation was like this, Arc suddenly faced another situation. He was looking through criminal records from various places. He did so occasionally, from time to time so that he could analyze and improvise the way the city guards handled imperial law and order.

And surprisingly, crime rates are dropping a lot, there are not as many robberies as before and at most there are beatings in public and even these victims are former bullies.

He did not know how the situation had suddenly turned out to be this good, but he suddenly felt relieved because this was the only good news he had heard in a while.

Other people who explored the empire in a few moments did not think so.

It was none other than Sirona.

Ever since he came to the western continent, he had wandered all over the country, only to venture out and he noticed some oddities in the low-level villages and towns.

And this oddity is similar to what Philip, Watt, and Jack saw on the eastern continent.

Unnatural absorption of energy and a higher number of cultivators appeared out of nowhere.

He had observed this more than the three of them because he did not have any tension attached to him and he who was curious discovered something they did not see.

Most cultivators who experienced this strange condition were actually not cultivators at all, they were people who did not awaken at the age of fourteen and were destined to live like commoners without any power.

But suddenly, they woke up out of nowhere with no visible signs. An ordinary day turned into a cultivator at the Beginner stage the next day.
