THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 94. Meeting With the Marquis

Sam returns to the mansion and enters the divine dimension after he assigns renovation tasks.

He needs to open another business as well. He looked at all the crystal bamboo plants he had planted in the various elemental zones. The next business he wanted to enter was the alcohol business.

He was planning to enter this business even before his meeting with Zeke, now he had one more reason and that was to fight against the Zeke restaurant that he had thought of making him large-scale.

Sam checked all the plants he planted. They're really grown-ups now. These herbs were the ones he had bought in the Falcon Cliff city. He planted all the live plants to get his own stock.

But now he was thinking about how to prepare the liquor. He could prepare it with herbs if he wanted to. All of the herbs he had were mostly ones that would help one to purify his body and reduce impurities that would have an impact on cultivation.

They were not the ones who would act as potions and help them increase their cultivation. But he was a little worried about the taste and thought that he would have to use some fruit to make liquor. But finding a fruit suitable for cultivation is not easy to find at all. So, he had to think about the problem later, but opening a restaurant wasn't too difficult.

He went to the library first floor and went to the corner. This is the part named Elixir and this includes pill recipes, potion recipes etc. It does not include the techniques and basics of this process, but only contains pure recipes and actions that must be done to make Elixir and in the corner of the passage there is a divine will called the 'Culinary Spirit'.

Sam took the information to browse through the recipes of various dishes that used meat from different types of magical beasts and spiritual herbs.

This culinary spirit is a way to make herbs needed in cultivation through cooking. It is also more efficient than other means such as Pills and Potions, which may have some side effects. The risk is minimal with culinary spirit.

After all, human health is best managed with diet rather than drugs. Just like in the modern world, if one were to take heavy medicine for every minor ailment, his bodily functions would be damaged.

Sam just came out of the tower by noon. He spent a lot of time just digesting the recipe. If he wanted to practice it, he would have to spend a lot of time. Even though she was good at learning, things like cooking were skills honed with practice. He's not an exception.

At the same time the Marquis was in his courtroom. He had just finished his morning meeting with the officials, and everyone had just left. An officer came and gave him a scroll containing information about Sam. Although, the Falcon Cliff city and Blue Fire city were far from each other, he still had a way to get in touch with the Falcon Count.

And he found out that Sam was from the Falcon-Cliff town? Sam deliberately hid his tracks. He left a big clue to investigate and that was to buy the mansion as well as use the Golden Horse trading company.

So, the Marquis easily got that info and when he saw this, he was quite surprised. A fifteen-year-old boy, at the Novice level 1 and well-versed in a variety of professions, with fighting strength off the charts. He is a genius. That was all that came to his mind.

After reading the info, he only felt even more angry towards his eldest son. He still had no idea what his son had done to this genius to the point of being offended so far.

Yes, he still did not know even after contacting the Count because the Count did not reveal Zeke's attack against the Marquis candidate.

He did not want to get involved between the father and the child.

The Marquis unrolled another scroll containing info about Sam while he was still in Starwood city. When he saw the details of how he had taken revenge on the noble family by destroying the younger generation's chances of entering the academy, he even felt shocked. This 15-year-old genius is quite vindictive. And when she sees the news that she's an orphan, she feels that she can stop Sam from getting his revenge.

After all, if the other party had a strong background, he would have to think twice. But now that the other party was an orphan, who had only entered the cultivation world recently, he was able to use some carrot and stick strategies to make it stop. As for, how the other party learned all of his skills, he wasn't too curious about it. There were all sorts of people in the world and a high-level genius who could learn on his own might be rare but not impossible. So, he immediately sent an invitation to Sam.

When Sam accepted this invitation, he was just about to go out and buy some restaurants to get a place to start his business.

Watt brought the invitation to him and when Sam saw that it was from the Marquis himself, he smiled. Although he knew that the marquis would find him, but he had not expected it to be this fast.

The invitation stated that he was invited to dinner. Sam could guess what the Marquis was planning. He is a 5th ranked Artisan. He was the most important Cendician Artisan to the Artisan association and his cultivation was still far from marquis.

The marquis could not offend him, but he also did not need to lick him.

Sam smiled amusedly and sent back a message that he accepted the invitation, but he also mentioned that he would bring a friend.

After sending the messenger away, Sam continued on his way. After buying two restaurants in front of Zeke's restaurant, he went to the weapon shop he had just bought, where the three Architects worked. He brought one of them back to the restaurant and explained to her how he wanted them renovated.

After explaining everything and finishing his work, he went to the Artisan tower. He went to see Chaya and when he saw her, he felt quite surprised.

"Don't we just meet in the morning? Why are you here again?" She asked.

"I need your help with something."

"Oh, what is it?"

"I was invited by the Marquis to dinner. I want you to come with me."

"Why did he invite you and why did you invite me?"

"Sure, when?" Chaya replied after some thought. He clearly understood what Sam meant.

"Now. We'll be gone in an hour, you can take care of your current job."

Chaya nods and returns to work while Sam waits for her.

Later that night, Sam and Chaya go to the Marquis' house on his private train.

When the officer assigned to receive Sam sees Chaya coming with Sam, he is immediately tense.

Although, he was a servant, but he was still the Marquis' confidant. He clearly knew what Marquis' intention was to invite Sam today, but they never expected that Sam's friend mentioned was Chaya, the 5th ranked Artisan and the tower chief of the Artisan tower.

He was unlike Sam who only had rank but no cultivation, but he was someone who not only had rank but also relevant cultivation.

Sam and Chaya are taken to the dining room where the Marquis is already waiting for them. Although, he wanted to put a little pressure on Sam, he did this just because of his son. He still respects Sam and his achievements.

But when he saw Chaya, he also felt stunned, but he quickly recovered and greeted them. After exchanging the usual pleasantries when this kind of meeting takes place [and the author has no interest in writing] they sit down to dinner and the food is served.

After some time, the Marquis stopped rambling and asked.

"Craftsman Sam, I think you and my son Zeke are having some problems. Is there a misunderstanding?"

"Oh, the Marquis does indeed have incredible insight. You knew it early enough. After all, it's only been two days since I came to town."

Seeing Sam directly agree, the Marquis felt the matter was not that simple. It seems Sam had anticipated this meeting.

"May I know what happened between you?"

"I'd be happy if your son explained it himself. You can call him now. I don't mind." When Sam said, this marquis frowned but still complied and sent someone to call his son.

When Zeke came, he didn't come alone. A middle-aged man came with him and the Marquis frowned.

The one who came was none other than the commander of the city guards. But he also has another identity, he is the brother of his three wives and uncle Zeke.

The two sat down and the guard commander spoke. He doesn't know who Chaya is and he doesn't care at all.

"You're the new Artisan? Just because you are an Artisan, you cannot act as you please. Apologize to my nephew now."

He did not realize that Zeke's expression turned ugly. Sam did not reply and just stared at the marquis.

"You can ask, son, what happened. After hearing the part, I'll tell you the next story."

Seeing Sam ignore him, the commander became furious, just as he was about to explode, he felt the pressure from the Marquis.

Then the marquis looked at his son. "Tell me what you're doing."

"I. i." Zeke stammered. He really did not want his father to know all his dirty deeds. He never expected that the person he had ambushed was an Artisan, who was also ranked highly.

"I'll tell you then." Sam then recounted everything that had happened in the cliff town of Falcon and said.

“I heard the Marquis is a wise man, but from what I saw, you are no different from the father of a useless child. He can do whatever he wants and all you can do is cover him up using his authority. The rumors almost fooled me."

Sam purposely said this to provoke the Marquis. He wanted to put the marquis in a helpless situation where he could not get it out on Sam and remind him that he should be the one to look after the people and not side with his son blindly.

So, the marquis would only have one look at Zeke.

And when the marquis was reminded of how his son threatened both cities to participate, he felt his anger reaching the limit.
