Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Novel

While the assistant manager and the manager are discussing the possibilities of these Marble businesses, Sam is busy in the woods.

The formation he set up is something he came upon a whim with theoretical knowledge he had. It is too large and it uses spatial energy which is dangerous in itself. Particularly, when he is covering the whole city on his own.

He couldn’t get the desired precision on the first try, but as he tinkered with it more and more, he managed to get it by the fifth try.

Sam sat on one of the formation nodes as he closed his eyes and meditated while checking the effects of the formation.

At this moment, in his vision, the whole city has turned into some kind of wireframe mesh. Even though it is not as detailed and in fact considered a mess, he could still differentiate what he wants.

In this method, he could see the exact location of everything within the city, whether are underground, above ground, and even if they are hidden inside the formation which is of extremely high level and couldn’t be scanned using this method, he can still get the formation in the scan.

And in all of this mess, there is one group of things that would make it easy for him to track and those of the things that use spatial energy.

Particularly the formations that use spatial energy, like the space gates.

Currently, he is looking for the space gate formation within the city and in the process, he discovered a lot of hidden things, for example, he already saw the movements of the Assistant manager and his shadow mouse which is tailing him.

He looked at the secret room of the manager of the branch in which there are a bunch of trinkets all over the floor, table, bed, and in every corner of the room.

He now realized the location of this guy.

But that is not the only thing he got. There is another hidden tunnel inside that room connected to another location and the Spatial element is glowing there.

That small room definitely has a space gate or a similar formation installed to it. Even though Sam could not get a precise answer, the most probable bet is the space gate formation.

Sam opened his eyes and sighed. He went back to the inn inside the city and he didn’t even bother to take down the formation. The nodes are buried underground and they are pretty ordinary looking even if anyone found out. He is sure that nobody would bother digging in that close range from the city.

"So, what are your findings?"

By the time, Sam reached the inn, Noah and Kumar are chatting their time away.

"I think there is a space gate underground. There are no tunnels connecting the city from outside, but there is a tunnel network within the city leading from the outer region and there is one tunnel connecting to the room.

If my guess is right, our target would be arriving in that room and will be leaving from that room.

But we don’t know for sure."

"Is there a possibility that the Manager is leaving this place and our target is not coming here?"

"There is indeed a possibility, but I think the first case is most probable. There must be a loose end in his operation that made his identity revealed in the first place.

But we don’t exactly what it is yet.

Anyway, I think the assistant manager you met, has gone to meet the manager with your marble. They might be considering your proposal. Maybe tomorrow we will get some information."

While they are discussing, Kumar is sipping his drink sulkily. He couldn’t get involved in this, because he couldn’t help in this part of the plan.

"Okay, I will be getting back outside. The shadow mouse will stay there inside that hidden room to keep an eye on that manager. Try to get some information out of that Assistant manager tomorrow. I will come back after your meeting is over."

Both agreed and Sam left after discussing some more details.

The next day, Noah arrived at the branch once again and met with the Assistant manager.

"Rona, I met the manager. He is really interested in the deals. But before that, we need to confirm some things. It is about your sister and your identities."

"Please do ask. If it is comfortable for me, I will clearly answer."

"Which realm are you from?"

Noah stayed silent for a moment and said with a sigh.

"I don’t even know if you have heard of it, it is too far away and it’s called the Ashwood realm."

"Ashwood realm?" The Assitant manager asked in confusion. He really didn’t hear of that place.

"So, what is your identity there?"

"Nothing much, me and my sister are wandering cultivators and we have a wood elemental affinity. But my sister is more of a combat-oriented one and is good at attacking and killing, she used to take the mercenary jobs.

But I am not really good with my attacking and such, I could only defend myself at best and I am good with research."

"Are there any other inventions before this?"

"There are some, but..."

She just trailed and didn’t answer. The Assistant manager understood and said.

"I talked to your situation and conditions to our manager. But there is a catch and I wouldn’t beat around the bush. My manager liked your invention very much and he would like to cooperate with you, but to discuss terms with the Myriad beast sect would be a problem. We cannot guarantee anything, but a representative from the Myriad Beast sect we are working with for a long time is going to visit the day after tomorrow night.

He said he will discuss it with him. I will give you an answer day after tomorrow."

Noah’s eyes brightened at this and asked.

"Is it possible for me to talk with that person?"

"That..."

"Please."

"It is not that I don’t want to let you meet him. His identity is a bit special and every time he comes into town, he only speaks with our manager and does business before leaving. He would stay here for a long and wouldn’t even show his face outside unless there is something extremely special."

"Special?"

Noah said as she looked at the marble sample on the table.

The assistant manager felt a bit embarrassed and coughed awkwardly before saying.

"Your invention is indeed special, but I am really sorry to say this. It is not enough to let him meet you. Maybe, after the plant was created and they used the first batch. There is a possibility. Even then, the person that might meet you will be someone different."

Noah became silent for a moment and it looked like she was hesitating, but after a sigh, she stood up to leave and said.

"Thank you for your time. I will come again on the day after tomorrow."

The assistant manager also stood up and sent her off to the entrance. All this while Noah looked extremely hesitant and she even almost spoke up from time to time, but it seems like something is stopping her.

Looking at this, the Assistant manager became extremely curious and decided to report the news back to the Manager.

The old man listen to the events and thought for a moment before saying.

"If she comes tomorrow, treat her well. Say that you and I tried so much to convince the assistant of the representative who handles the meetings and activities of the representative to let him meet her.

But unfortunately, we failed.

Sell this narrative to her and make her believe that we tried our best. There might be a chance that we could stumble on something good." The sourcᴇ of this content is Noᴠelꜰire

The assistant manager didn’t understand, but he agreed and left.

After this meeting is over, Sam contacted Noah.

"It seems like your plan worked. He came and reported to the manager."

"Of course, it was so obvious. I got some news. He said that the representative is coming tomorrow night. I don’t know if it is the same person though."

"It has to be. From what we observed none of the Black Wood branch businesses are associated with the Myriad beast sect businesses in this place. There are no contacts whatsoever until now. If it is not him, then we would be in for a long chase."

"Let us hope it is him then. Do you have any leads from your side?"

"Not many. This old man looks like a freak. He is tinkering with a bunch of formation discs and inscriptions all the while.

But we might know something in a few minutes. I let the shadow mice replace when the assistant manager visited him again."

As he spoke, the shadow mouse came and it gave him a narrative.

"From their conversation, it might be him that is coming and it seems like the manager bit the bullet. Go and visit tomorrow, they are trying to play the role of the extremely friendly and helpful business partners. We would be able to let them take the bait easily.
