Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The two branch leaders and the rest of the organization members waited for an hour, but the explosion didn't come.

After some thought, they neared the estate and they could feel the energy waves reduced. They finally managed to muster enough courage to enter the core area once again and as soon as they entered the core area, they were dumbfounded.

All the furnaces are not working and got shut down. Mostly because their outerbodies were molten and the formation laid on them to keep them working disappeared along with that molten material.

But the core furnace is different. They didn't know what exactly happened to it as the body of the furnace is completely intact, when they neared it though, all they could feel the faint fire elemental waves.

Both Branch leaders became suspicious and suddenly they remembered the words of Agni. He said someone would come for the heirloom.

That is what they were told and that person's name is Sam..

But after the incident with the first branch leader's death and Dayus' supposed involvement along with the probable plot of the five great sects, they almost forgot about it. But as soon as they saw the furnace which is becoming cold, they couldn't help but remember it and run to check.

The more they checked the paler the branch leaders' faces became.

They didn't expect that the core would be missing at such a crucial time. This means only one thing. The person named Sam succeeded.

After all, even though the First young master said that there are other people who also wanted to get their heirloom along with Sam, the god only mentioned about Sam excluding others. Even if there are other people, they are willing to believe Sam himself did this.

They retreated and checked the situation of the whole organization.

After looking at the whole situation, they don't know what to say. Their prison was destroyed, their library was robbed, many of their elders and guards were dead. Their core furnace was gone. Their losses were devastating.

When they looking through the dead bodies and the skeletons and started counting the casualties near the prison and started investigating it, they found out that they saw six prisoners escape.

Kiran was not noticed by anyone as he kept on shifting his appearance.

When the two branch leaders went through the information regarding the six prisoners, they felt a little trepidation when they saw the details.

All the prisoners were either unfairly imprisoned or the people belonging to the enemy factions.

They didn't know what they would be facing because of their escape.

While they are thinking and started cleaning up the mess, Sam is facing the six prisoners.

Kiran already changed back to his form as Sam removed the seal completely. He got his reward and finally felt relieved.

Sam faced the six prisoners and said.

"Four of you are unfairly imprisoned by the Puppet organization because of some petty grudges and the two are from a rival organization.

I assume that all of you have great resentment towards the Puppet organization.

So, I offer you a deal. I will release the seal placed on you completely and in exchange, you help me destroy the remaining two branches of the puppet organization."

The six of them looked at Sam and the Night Ghost who is an Astral Plane Consummate cultivator. They didn't expect that the person that made them escape has that much fire power.

All his subordinates are of Astral Plane transcendence and they all have dangerous auras. They are the best of the best among their peers.

Seeing that no one is talking, Sam said.

"You guys have an hour to think about. We need to move immediately. So, do make your choice quickly."

With that, Sam went back to the camp as he started roasting a hind leg of a goat type beast on a fire created with some special wood.

At this moment, Markan stepped forward to him and hesitated to speak. Sam looked at him but didn't say anything waiting for the other party to talk first.

After some contemplation, Markan finally opened his mouth.

"I need to have a word in private."

Sam left the roasting to Argan and went to talk with him separately.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Sam asked casually.

"Are you familiar with seals?"

"A bit, why?"

"Apart, from the seal that was placed on me by the puppet organization there is another seal placed by someone else. I don't know what kind of seal that is. And anyone who can remove a seal like that is someone I cannot meet. I wonder if you could help me.

If you help me take off that seal, not only would I help you will the Puppet organization, I will owe you a favor and wouldn't refuse no matter what it might be."

"What is your favor worth?" Sam asked him in surprise.

Markan thought for a moment and sighed. 

"In my current state? Nothing but once I turn back to who I was, it would worth a lot more. Please help me."

Sam looked at the man carefully. His words, the expressions, the eyes everything seemed genuine. This man either has to be a great actor or he is really something.

"Let me check the seal first, after that we can talk. All these promises would be a waste of time, if I cannot even deal with the seal in the first place."

"Thank you."

Markan said with a smile.

He really doesn't know what Sam is capable of, but in the past few days, all kinds of weird things were shown to him by Kiran and when he asked about them, he told about Sam being maker of those things.

So, he can only bet on Sam to see if he could help him.

Sam first removed the seal placed by the puppet organization and the rest of the group followed eventually.

Sam removed all the seals, had a meal and they all left to the next realm.

The Capital of the Second Puppet realm.

When they arrived, the whole second puppet realm was already set up for what they are going to bring it and it was all set up by Arkiv and the first young master.

After arriving outside the city, they set up a camp and Sam took out his surveillance puppets and sent them to the city.

After that, he took out a communication token.

At that moment, Arkiv and the first young master who are currently in a restaurant eating while discussing something. Both of them felt their communication tokens being alerted and activated them.

"You are already here? I thought you would take some time."

Arkiv asked as soon as he picked up.

"I am done there. I found some extra help on the way, so I am already here. Anyway, what is the status here? First young master, did you make her fall in love yet?"

First young master shook his head a bit and said.

"She is all over me. All I did is do some subtle hints and I am not seeing the end of it."

"Okay keep up the work. You will receive the fake tempering core in a few days. Then the task would be done.

If my guess is right, the two branch leaders will return to their respective branches after they are done cleaning up. The first branch is officially gone. So, we don't have much time. 

Arkiv, did you find the target I asked of you."

"Yes, close associate of the second young master. He is not particularly good at anything, except for giving ideas to sabotage other people. He will be a good fit."

"Perfect, try to find a perfect timing, we will replace him with Kiran proceed further. Be careful and make sure to not spoil anything. By the way, First young master, I need the details regarding the assigned positions of personnel in the second branch. We cannot let our helpers sit idle here."

"Sure, I will get that by tomorrow."

With that he communication was cut off.

Right after the two of them entered this realm, they already started this plan rapidly and first part of it is to make the second young master jealous.

So, all the first young master has to do is to make the attention-seeking lady to get some hints that he might be, just might be interested in her, based on the circumstances and all hell broke loose.

The second young master didn't like anything regarding the first young master since then.

And since this is the trial period and the second branch leader told repeatedly that they should poach the first young master, his hands were tied.

After that was done, the First young master started focusing on the forging aspect. He even directly asked the second young master and the attention-seeking lady to participate in a special project.

The project was actually Sam's idea which focuses on improving the material of the puppets using the tempering function of their furnace. And obviously, it is smart which made the attention-seeking lady become starry-eyed regarding the first young master and making the second young master burn in envy.
