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

The little void hopper is the one that made the whole plan feasible.

He made the underground secret space gate formation that didn’t work with his space element while the trio is slowing down the target and the old man with the flashy and useless attacks.

When the space was mended and that glowing sphere was used, he appeared in that room, but he wasn’t able to use the space gate to run away from that spot.

And on top of that, the little hopper had some fun while completely freezing the space around him and made the target stuck in the place and before he could make sense of it, the trio disappeared from the spot and Sam slammed the prison on him and used the one-off space gate formation and went away.

Now they are all sitting in a forest nearby while eating a meal.

"This is the most disgusting and stupidest battle you ever had. There is no struggle, no power, no danger, and most of all, those two superior cultivators are acting like some little girls. I cannot believe such an obvious and stupid trap.

God, I feel ashamed of myself for this. I would never tell anyone about this."

Noah said as she gulped down beer.

She is really upset. Even though she agreed to the plan at first, she at least thought that there is going to be a plan. They didn’t even use their spiritual sense properly. It is almost like they are so full of themselves, this is too pathetic for her.

There is no challenge at all.

Sam didn’t know that these people would be upset over something like this.

After all, everything happened within a span of a few minutes and everything went according to the plan. In fact, the plan was too easy for even him. Except for the excessive preparation they had to do, it was easier than most things they had done in their lives.

"Alright, just stop your whining." Kumar said from the side as he drank cold wine.

Sam is standing outside the cage as he looked at the middle-aged man inside.

"Can you remove that stupid disguise?"

The middle-aged man was stunned. The mask that the old man gave him turned out to be useless, Sam could easily spot that. Maybe, staying with Kiran for a long time helped him understand.

"Who are you guys?" The middle-aged man removed his disguise and asked.

By now, the trio also removed their disguises. And he has a feeling who these people are, but he doesn’t know how to confirm it.

"We are the mercenary trio working for the fiend tribe. You might have heard of us when the topic of your dead core disciple, the mountain city and the farm town come up."

The middle-aged man widened his eyes in disbelief.

Sam just casually continued.

"Anyway, I want some information about the other two people working with you in the same position as you. The location and information on your peers."

"I am telling you that."

"Oh, you are going to. You might think that you can act tough and just grit through this, but you don’t have a choice whether you want to tell me your information or not.

If you tell me directly, I will give you to the fiend tribe, intact. But if you don’t do that and you act like this with me, I will just kill you and extract your soul and then extract your memories from it. This choice is yours."

The middle-aged man was terrified. He could tell that Sam was serious, but he wanted to put up a struggle.

But Sam just smiled seeing that he doesn’t want to comply. He placed his arm on the thunder prison and manipulated the energy in it.

The lightning walls that are making him stay in the cage suddenly molded into a lot of lightning chains and tied him up from top to bottom.

Sam walked in as he struggled to get out of the grip and placed a set of sealing shackles on him.

All of a sudden, the target lost all his strength.

Sam looked at him with a smile and said.

"We are going to have so much fun if you don’t speak now. And my friends here are really upset at how easy it is to kidnap you from your place. So, they are not really going to go easy on you.

And I happen to know how to cause the maximum amount of pain to a person with minimal effort. I am not sure if you would like that."

The Middle-aged man was terrified as he looked at Sam’s smile as he made the move.

"AAAArRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHH..."

Then came the soul-searing cries of the man that reverberated throughout the forest making the beasts and birds frightened alike.

After an hour, Sam got the information he needed.

He looked at him finally and asked.

"How am I to be sure that you are not lying to me?"

"I am not. I am not lying to you."

"We will find out soon enough."

Sam said and took out a scroll.

"Use your spiritual imprint to sign the document, this is one of my new tinkerings to check if there is any sort of lie in this. If there is, then you would die like a chicken that has its throat cut with a small blade.

So, please do be careful before you sign it and I will make you sign it."

Sam spread the scroll in front of them.

The middle-aged man didn’t even bat an eye as he signed it with his imprint.

Sam sighed and felt a little disappointed as he saw no changes in the middle-aged man.

When came out of the cage, Kumar looked at him and said.

"Now what are you sulky about?"

"I really wanted to see if this scroll would work. I couldn’t even run a proper simulation to this properly."

"That’s why you interrogated him like this?"

"Of course, why would I waste my time by asking him like this? I would just kill him, extract memories, and be done with it.

This is going to be the new tool in my investigations department of the organization. But it seems like he actually told the truth. Quite a disappointment if you ask me."

With that, they took the target to the Water crystal city and met with Miran.

"We got the information on the other two people. They are also extremely secretive but if we manage to go now, we would be able to capture them without alerting the other party. By now, the news must have been spreading to other people up in their hierarchy.

We don’t have time to waste."

"We would like to confirm the information first."

"I already did. I would have just killed him and got you the information with memory extraction. But I figured you wouldn’t trust me, so I brought him here."

After that Sam turned around and left with Noah and Kumar to wait for their results.

The next day, they were called back.

"The information is correct. You guys can proceed."

"Okay, thank you. But this time, we would be coming with the two guys at the same time. We don’t know if the news already traveled to them, but if it didn’t this would be a lot easier than the previous one."

With that, the three of them went on their journey to deal with the next target.

While they are doing this, back in Saran city something else is happening.

The consequences for their actions are showing up there.

The Branch Manager, the old man is standing in front of a young half-dark elf with whom Sam actually made a deal.

"So, you are saying, someone came here attacked the branch, and left without taking anything or targeting anyone to kill. Do you think that sounds reasonable or rational?" The young master asked the old man.

"That is the truth. They came here when I was in a meeting with a woman who claimed to be the twin sister of a woman in the three-man mercenary team of the fiend tribe that has been popular lately.

She has some kind of grudge against her twin sister and had a deal with the Myriad beast sect. We were just mediating the deal and this happened."

"What happened to that woman then? She is not here?"

"She died. When the sudden spatial explosion occurred, she was torn apart by the spatial currents and was thrown into the void."

The young master stayed silent for a moment and asked.

"Then what about the representative of the Myriad Beast sect? What happened to him?"

"I don’t know. When we mended the space, he used my trinket to get back to the underground secret room, I tried to chase the guy that attacked us, but he disappeared so I went back to that room, but he disappeared from that room.

I felt the spatial fluctuations around, so I assumed he left using that space gate."

"You didn’t tell anyone about this right? The deal with the Myriad Beast sect, did you talk about it to anyone other than the representative?"

"No."

"Then let us keep it that way. I will see what we should do."ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net
