Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 94: Threat

Sam looked at marquis in amus.e.m.e.nt. His judgement is correct and everything is going on as planned.

But there is another person who has a bad judgement and that person is none other than the Guard commander. He is a Great Warrior at late stage, he thought that marquis was angry at Sam for spouting those ugly words, so he released his aura and was about to suppress Sam.

But an even more powerful aura was descended on him and he felt shocked when he saw where it is coming from. He looked at Chaya who is casually sipping her drink but he was being completely suppressed by her aura. Her strength even higher than the Marquis himself.

Then only remembered something. Sam is an artisan and there is only one person who is a young woman and powerful than the marquis himself. The Artisan tower head. Even though, he didn't see her before, he clearly heard of her.

Why didn't see her before? It is actually pretty simple. His status isn't enough.

According to norm, marquis is in one whole cultivation realm higher than the Count. He is a grand mage. And in every city, the tower heads of the various professions will be in same cultivation realms and a grand mage can only be an Artisan of rank 4.

But why is a rank 5 Artisan here? Because, the marquis isn't the strongest person here. The previous marquis, the one who is the former blue flame is in the next cultivation realm after the grand realm.

A marquis who broke through that stage will be retired and next one will take the helm when he reached the grand realm.

The organisations of various professions sent people who are on the same realm as the previous marquis to not to be at a disadvantage, so even the current marquis is of lower status than her. Chaya only has four more people who are equal to her in status and they are the former marquis and the three other tower heads.

So, a lowly city guard commander isn't even worthy of her notice. She is here only because of Sam and she has to show her stance.

Marquis became fl.u.s.tered and immediately slapped the guard commander.

"Get lost now." He said in a low voice and the guard commander felt like he got a new lease on life.

Marquis took a deep breath to calm down and looked at Sam again.

"Artisan Sam, is there a peaceful way to resolve this?" Marquis asked. Even though, this will be him agreeing with Sam's statement, right now he wanted to get his son another chance. He believed that with this, his son will change for better and which father wouldn't want that? He will try his best to get that chance even if he has to get ridiculed by a youngster like Sam.

"There is. It is very simple. All you have to do is, just announce the whole matter to the people and just tell them that you want to end this matter peacefully. If you make this announcement, I will immediately stop." Sam's voice is quite sarcastic.

Marquis' face turned green. The request was impossible. It will make him lose trust of all his people. He finally understood how much of a big mistake he did, when he closed an eye for his son's deeds. Not every time will be smooth sailing, some times it will cause disasters and the disaster his son got now is now sitting right across him.

"Marquis, let me tell you something. Do you know why lions can be kings of the forest of ordinary beasts?" Sam asked with a smile.

"Because, they are strongest?" Marquis said.

"You are only partially right. Lions are strong, but do you really think that the lions are the strongest of all? Lions live in prides but are they match for a herd of bulls rushing madly? No.

They are kings because, they are trained that way. A lion will through their cubs in to a valley and let them climb on their own.

Their father is teaching them that the respect as a lion has to be earned and not given just because they are born from a lion. The rest of the animals in the forest might not want to teach them this harsh lesson, but the lion itself doesn't care.

He will throw the cubs inside the valley earning the t.i.tle of the most ruthless beast in wild. But in my eyes, that lion is a responsible father who is teaching his sons. That is why the other animals respect him and revere him."

When Sam finished his piece, marquis was already feeling ashamed, he clearly understood what Sam meant by that. He is insulting him for being an incompetent father.

Even a wild beast knows how to teach his son, but he as a human with a responsibility of a marquis and thousands of people under him can't even do his job. Just as he was about to say something, Sam started speaking.

"Your eldest son, Zeke and I initially don't have any grudge, but he came with twenty people who have cultivation levels higher than me, and ambushed me when I am in my injured state.

He even felt that it is all justified just because, you are the one responsible for his birth.

I am here to today, not to make peace with you. But I am here to tell you that I will be paying back everything your son gave me. I am going to destroy everything that gave him confidence, that he can do anything to me and walk away.

Regarding this, there is no way for me to compromise. I will achieve my goal even if you the marquis himself gets involved with this." Sam paused to see the reaction of Marquis.

The dark expression on the latter's face satisfied him and continued.

"For now, only your son and his lackeys are my targets and I will be playing with them. But if anyone else gets involves in this for example, the city guards then the entire troop of the city guards will be included, if one n.o.ble child like your son steps in, his whole family will be included and.." He paused a bit and looked at Marquis straight in the eyes and said.

"…If you get involved in this, the entire city will also be included. You won't want to harm the lives of all the citizens, will you?" Sam asked as if he was speaking about something insignificant.

The three remaining people were stunned. Sam is threatening the marquis directly that he will take it out on the citizens if marquis gets involved. A Novice level young man is threatening a Grand realm marquis in the marquis mansion itself.

But for some reason, they felt that the other party might really do what he said. Without waiting for the reply, Sam stood up and said.

"I will be waiting for your letter. If I don't get the letter by tomorrow, I will take that you want to get involved." He signalled to Chaya and both of them turned around and left the room.

Marquis just sat there in deep thought. Beside him, Zeke didn't even dare to look at his father.

"Sam, don't you think you went overboard? You just threatened the marquis in his own territory."

Sam just chuckled and replied. "This being his territory is his biggest disadvantage. I am a lone wolf now. I can do whatever I want as long as I don't get caught. If push comes to shove, I can just escape this place and come back later to take revenge. But he doesn't have that option. He has to answer the emperor himself if he let his territory."

Chaya thought for a moment and felt that what Sam said is right, but she still felt that Sam should tone down his att.i.tude and said.

"I think with your att.i.tude, you will the whole world your enemies. You should give some leeway and solve problems peacefully whenever possible." She advised him out of good will. But Sam's reply stunned her.

"I don't want any compromises in my life. No matter how big the enemy is, even if it is a single individual or the whole city, the whole empire or the whole world, the only difference to me is the amount of effort I need to spend to destroy them.

She halted her foot steps and looked at Sam's back who is walking ahead. She suddenly felt that Sam's form is towering over the world.

How bold and arrogant a person should be to make a statement like that.

After separating, Sam took out his hoverboard and went to the business zone. He stopped at Zeke's shop and looked at the closed doors. It is already night and most weapon shops will call it day by this time, only some restaurants will be opened.

Sam took out a normal spirit stone. He closed his eyes and destabilised the spirit stone before throwing it into the shop through a window. He immediately increased the thrust of the hoverboard to maximum and reached a height of 20 feet in the air and went towards his mansion in full speed.

Next day, the news of the explosion spread all over the city. The explosion is in marquis' son's shop after all.

This time, Marquis himself came to see, what happened. The place of explosion is very peculiar.

When he entered the shop all he could see was a circular area in which everything turned into powder. The armours, swords, every other material was completely disintegrated into powder, the spiritual energy in the area is also still a bit unstable.

He didn't even know what has caused the explosion, but he knew who did this. Sam is making a statement.

If Sam was to use this method of explosion in between a group of people, the results will be disastrous. He immediately came to decision and that is he will not interfere between his son and Sam. Unless, Sam wants to kill his son, he would completely turn a blind eye.

Zeke is also looking at the explosion area. He received a different message from the explosion and that is, he shouldn't make any dirty moves to get one over Sam, if he did that, the other party can also do so, and the result is even more efficient for him. He can only play along the game Sam is playing and follow the rules set by the other party.

He is now already regretting going after Sam. His lackeys are second guessing about following him. His father also might not interfere and now the business he built is also under attack. He suddenly felt so suffocated.
