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

Chapter 1393 - Merc Group

After compiling the list.

Sam shifted his focus to something else. The toxins. The weird creatures that are under Mingiv's control are still a threat. If not for the fact Grivon and Giyon's parents came, Sam would have kept on working on that.

He wouldn't have had any other thoughts.

In fact, he must thank them. Only after he was distracted enough was he able to reorganize his thoughts and thus cooked up all of these plans.

Even though it is past midnight, he didn't really care much as he made his way to Giyon's residence.

There unexpectedly Gail is staying even though his daughter is not present.

"Hello."

Sam greeted him politely.

"Hey, Sam." Gail returned the greeting.

"I have something to do in the basement."

"At this hour? What could that be?"

"Some research actually. Do you want to come and see it? You might be able to help me."

"Why not? I am feeling kind of bored."

With that Gail also followed Sam into the basement and soon they ended up in the makeshift laboratory Sam has established here which is full of weird creatures.

When Gail looked at them, a big frown appeared on his face as he slowly caressed them and after giving them a quick scan, he couldn't help but look at them in disgust.

"What are these?"

"We don't exactly know. But these are the things that supported Mingiv and his subordinates in the battle against us.

When I caught them off guard with my outburst and suicidal moves, they were left unconscious and they weren't able to clean up.

Then we got these corpses.

I don't exactly know what these things are, but they spell trouble…" Sam continued to explain what they are and what they could do and what his speculations about making them are.

Gail's frown only deepened as he listened to his words and he couldn't help but become angry by the end of it.

"I thought, only Mari Clan is rotten enough to conduct experiments like this. The Gaja Clan has clearly deteriorated when I was gone."

He lamented as he thought of the rivalry they had and all the leaders that died in the battles between them.

In fact, one of the core reasons that Gaja Clan garnered a somewhat positive image among the neutral areas and often their support is because of their stance.

These people believed that Gaja Clan wouldn't resort to the same means the Mari Clan does to just win a rivalry.

But because of this one guy who resorted to these means, all those beliefs are meaningless.

"I am working on a substance that could deal with these creatures in a purely physical sense. Going after it with some physical force or elemental energy blasts is a bit expensive thing to consider at the moment."

"Are you sure you would be able to make one before they were used in battle?"

"I guess so. After all, from what I could see, the creatures are directly under the command of MIngiv and his parents or grandfather doesn't know much about it. That is the only reason there were no serious threats or attacks on us until now.

He clearly doesn't want the outsiders to know and with the house arrest he was put under by his grandfather, he couldn't find a proper excuse that would let him mobilize his forces for this.

So, until I see any obvious movement from him, I have enough time.

Anyway, I got a headstart because Sivan was generous enough to send a toxin expert here. Even though that guy died, his memories and the storage gave me a lot of things I could use and experiment with."

Sam spoke all the while cutting the piece of the creature down and placing it on a test surface where he sprinkled some toxic concoction on it and then used the observation ability to see how it is affecting it.

"I will leave you be. I am not much of an expert on toxins. I cannot help you here."

Sam nodded and continued with his work.

He kept on working until dawn and even then he only came out because he received some information through his communication device.

"What is it? Anything suspicious?"

"There is some movement from Fig's side and I got some information from the inside agent. In the meeting, there was no discussion whatsoever. They just talked about common stuff and the Clan leader asked how Fig was doing and everything else.

Apart from that, there is nothing. Not even about the businesses under Fig, the clan problems, finances, nothing.

They either had not really discussed anything or they might have completely managed to cover up that they discussed anything.

Either way, it is hard to get what you need from that point. Anyway, as for the information I wanted to share, it is about some people who are acting a bit suspicious.

There is a new group of people out of the clan and one of them is someone from Giyon's database. He is a mercenary and he does a lot of dirty work. He is the go to contact for many nobles to kidnap their own illegitimate children and kill them.

He would make it look natural no matter how many guards are present and no matter how much resistance there is, he would always finish the job.

His arrival here at this moment is definitely not good news. Be careful."

"Thanks for the heads up, you don't have to worry about keeping an eye on him. I will send Grivon's subordinates. His network is better suited for this job."

"Alright. I will send the documents on this mercenary." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovelEnglish.net

Sam came out of the lab and soon he got the information.

He couldn't find any connection between this guy and the members inside.

Then again, he is a mercenary, after all, the good ones don't keep too much of a connection with the customer.

While Sam is thinking, Jyon arrived with the kids.

"Hello, why did you bring them here? Again?"

Jyon smiled awkwardly. Ever since the incident, the kids are staying with her as even though they are under Giyon's care, they are closer to Jyon, so Giyon figured it would be a good thing to let them stay with her until this trauma has passed.

But the only problem is she is way too accommodating with these children.

She doesn't know how to say no, which led to the exam he conducted with the simulator.

All the kids avoided eye contact leaving the questions to Jyon.

"I am taking kids outside."

"Outside? Into the city? It is way too dangerous. There are just too many people trying to get a piece of me, with my stance regarding the kids, they are an easy target for the kidnap."

"No, no. Not the city. We are using the clan's internal space gates to go to the realm under the clan's control. It is a realm for vacations, kind of exclusive to the clan members. I will take them there. They will relax a bit.

They are really looking forward to classes, but you are not taking any, so I need to keep them occupied."

Sam raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Are you really blaming me for not teaching them classes immediately after that incident? Is that what you are doing Ms. Jyon?"

Jyon didn't speak and just looked at him before saying.

"I will be taking them. We will stay there for two days and you better be prepared to take classes, it is not just about the classes and the study, Sam. They miss spending time with you."

Sam sighed and took out a spatial ring.

"Give one each for the children and keep one for yourself. Anyway, are the guards coming with you?"

"Guards are not allowed and so were the fights. The grand elder stays there and as long as he detects any commotion he will give people some severe punishment."

"Alright, but keep these tokens on you all the time. If there is any trouble, just inject a bit of energy in one of the tokens. Even though the kids cannot do that, as long as you do it one of them, I can find the rest too."

She nodded and turned back as she left followed by the children.

They also gave him a look before running away and Sam was stuck on the spot in shock before he shook his head and went back to the lab with a wry smile.

"Miss spending time with me? That is the last thing they would do if they knew the real me." Sam muttered to himself slowly.

He thought of how he behaved near children and he had to say that he was really caring and calm with them. Maybe it is because of their innocence or that he is basically teaching them very little, he was a bit more gentle to them than he was with his students.

And it garnered this impact.

Just as he was about to enter the lab, he got a communication alert from subordinates.

"Sir, the team you wanted us to monitor is making a move. They are going to the Gaja Clan's public Space gates. They seemed to be traveling somewhere. This place might even just be a resting stop."

"Don't let them get out of your sight. Make sure you check where they are going."

Sam said as he looked at the documents of these people.

They are not even that strong. The leader of the mercenary group and this guy is only a Peak stage Transcendent cultivator.

This is also a bit reassuring; as if someone really wanted to make a move, they wouldn't really be able to do much with just this.
