Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1199: Return



Sam took off on harbinger and appeared near Noah who is exhausted, to say the least. The last punch she was about to throw consumed almost all of her energy.

He looked in the direction while guarding her as she recovered. The young lady of the Myriad Beast sect is nailed to the ground with the spear still in her chest. She is also exhausted and the bleeding didn't help either.

The spear move is indeed powerful and the energy behind it made Sam extremely vigilant. But soon, someone came to the sight.

Kumar and a bunch of fiends are coming towards them slowly.

Sam just gave them a glance and took the spear out of the young lady and started healing her. She was surprised, but she didn't stop him from healing her. She knew that she is in a pickle and she would like to hold on to any chance she could get to live.

By the time, Sam was done with her the fiend tribe troops already made their way towards them. Looking at Sam, the leader who he already spoke with through the city communication channel said.

"She is an enemy. There is no point in saving her. We don't need to take her as a prisoner."

"I know that." Sam replied blandly and looked at Noah. He gestured her with his head and she walked towards the woman calmly before crushing her neck with a vine with a single wave of her hand.

The young lady was shocked. She didn't expect that as soon as he thought she found a straw to hold on to, she would die like this. This is completely unexpected.

The leader of the fiend troops frowned at this.

"What is the meaning of this?" He asked without holding his thoughts back.

"She is our target. Not yours." With that, Sam picked up the spear that attacked the young lady and threw it towards the leader.

He caught the spear and looked at Sam with a cold gaze.

"You work for the tribe. So, every one of your targets is our target."

"That might work with the others you hired. But it wouldn't work with us. Our targets are our prey and only we can hunt them. It is unacceptable to intervene in our hunt, much less trying to snatch the prey at our mouths."

Noah said from the side.

The deputy of the leader who is standing behind him came forward and said in a serious tone.

"You seemed to have forgotten your status and position here. You are but a mercenary team hired by the fiend tribe to do our bidding. That is your position and you should be self-aware when you are speaking to someone of higher stature."

His aura raged as he held his sword.

Kumar already separated from the group and looked at his deputy as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Sam walked to the woman and started extracting her memory as he spoke.

"Yeah, our position is that of a mercenary. Maybe, we are even lower position than the soldiers."

"Good that you are self-aware. Now come and apologize to the commander."

Sam looked at him and said.

"I have something to say about our status. You know, at this moment I think our status is the three-man team who are of peak stage pre-transcendent cultivation and all three of us are human. We took down a city the Fiend tribe couldn't for the past decade and rescued the woman who your tribe has forsaken in the name of some petty reasons that you tell yourself so that you have a probable excuse.

And all that we have done was only done within two days. So, you better watch your words. As for the apology, I wouldn't hold it against you for trying to steal our kill this time."

With that, Sam stored the body away and they walked towards the city hall.

The soldiers behind the commander wanted to make a move and particularly the deputy, but the commander didn't let them do it.

The information that Sam is the one who helped them deal with this city is well known everywhere. If they really made a move, the credibility of the fiend tribe would be gone in a second.

After all, everything Sam said is true. They didn't take this city in a decade and the three mercenaries did. Not only would be they painted as ungrateful if they made a move, but the remaining mercenaries also wouldn't be working with them anymore.

And in this war, the role of mercenaries is kind of important no matter how one looked at it.

He let the troops wait in the city and went after Sam and the rest.

Inside the city hall, Sam handed over the woman to the commander along with a spatial ring and said.

"This contains the recordings of most of our activities, the traps we set up, and even some tokens that could help your team bypass these traps. They are set in both pathways, so if you try, you might be able to use them to defend this city.

But if the group that crosses the path didn't have at least one token with them, they will not be able to escape them.

I have a copy of all these things too so that we can have our fair share of contribution points."

After that, he took out a scroll and looked at the commander.

"I would like a spiritual imprint signature in this scroll."

The commander frowned and read the contents.

"You don't trust the fiend tribe? This is insulting to us."

"I don't trust a tribe that can just sit around and let their women be tortured like this for a decade just because of some pathetic political reasons. I don't know how you will handle her situation from now on, but I need my contribution for that.

Who knows, you guys just might make her presence completely unknown and might even cut our contribution points just to make sure that others believe that I didn't find her. I don't have any higher authority to report to and get my scores settled.

If you give me this, I would have a better hold of the situation and I will have something to justify myself for settling the scores."

"No offense but settling scores? You are a mercenary. If you take a city down, how many can you do? What can you do to a tribe that is ruling a realm on its own?"

"You are in such a luxurious position as you think you are in. You are fighting against an organization that is equally powerful. And if you make an enemy of the people that could take down the city and hold it on for a few days with their own abilities and no external help, what do you think happened when the war escalated."

With that, he got the signature and left with the other two players.

As they were on the path to go for a place where they could get out on Sky, Noah asked.

"Can we just dimensional drifter? I need to take a break."

Sam just shrugged and took it out. They disappeared from the spot and reappeared near the water crystal city, but they didn't go immediately and instead set up a camp at the river bank to take a break.

"This is convenient. Why wouldn't you use it every time?" Noah asked as she relaxed on the bank.

"Because it is damn expensive. Even I would feel the pinch if I use it so often like that."

"But you are filthy rich, I doubt you would be able to lose much even if you use it. You are pretty vain sometimes."

"You are right, but if I use this unnecessarily too much, it would still be too much of a waste. Anyway, in our current situation, we could go anywhere within a few hours on this planet and since we need time to discuss the plans, we might as well do it while traveling. It is not like we are wasting much time.

We are just using the same time we need to discuss the plan and instead we are both traveling and discussing in the process we would also do some scouting on the way."

"If you put it that way."

They relaxed until dark and finally went to the Water Crystal city and went to meet Myrion.

But to their surprise, Commander Miran is also there and it seems like she was waiting for them.

She looked at them and said.

"you are the three mercenaries that turned the mountain city upside down. Good job."

"Thanks, but before we discuss any further, I would like you to see some things."

Sam said and gave the recording crystals to her. There are many recordings and she skimmed through them briefly, but there is one recording that caught her eyes, it is the confrontation between the fiend troops and Sam's group.

"I know we are mercenaries and we don't have much status to compare with you guys, but please tell your people to control their level of intervention. It is a great offense to steal the prey of a hunter. Particularly, when the hunter is working for you. It would be seen as bad faith which is not good for any working relationship."

He paused and looked at her to see the reaction.

"I would give you some time. It will take some time for you to evaluate our contributions. We will come back in the morning."
