Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Giyon looked at Sam with a smile once again. But this time, the smile is a lot different than before. All this while, her smile is just polite. She was just smiling to keep up the appearance.

But now she is smiling with intrigue.

Sam didn't show any expression and just sat there calmly. He looked at Grivon who is constantly surprised and shocked for every little thing and shook his head.

He is way too expressive and it wouldn't do good for him if he is like this all the time.

"So, now if Grivon is done with his shock and surprise, we can talk why you guys are really here?"

Sam looked at Grivon and figured it would be better for him to talk.

"We need you to do something for us. I need the heirloom of the Divine Palace of Healing."

"The Umbrella?"

"Yes. I need that and I want you to be the one that buys the Umbrella."

"Is the Umbrella up for sale?"

"What do you think?"

"It is Vardar, of course everything would be up for sale at a right price." Giyon replied.

"So, I want you to buy the umbrella from him and I don't want you to hide your identity when doing that.

Sivan knows some of my secrets and he would have known that I would need the umbrella. So I need you to attract his attention."

"So, you want me to be the scape goat, while you hide along with Grivon?"

"To be completely blunt, yes. I want you to be the face and you are the only one Sivan wouldn't dare make a move that easily."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because, he is weakening. He doesn't have his full strength with him. If he realizes that you might be the one hosting me here, he would have to think thrice before making any rash move. You are just too huge."

"But that doesn't mean, he doesn't make a move at all. It is not like I am invincible and he is completely useless.

There is a possibility that might risk it."

"Yes, there is a possibility. But that would only happen, if he is sure that you are the one hosting me, but I am doing everything I can just to avoid giving him that conclusion.

Now, if he had to weigh in all the options, Migron is the one hosting me and it would take some time for him to realize that there is a possibility that Migron is not the one hosting me, he would have weigh in the other options.

The most likely suspect would be Vydon who is taking over the park project. Park is something I made in the starting stages of my life and it is a lucrative money making business. It focuses on gathering small amounts of money in large quantity and it is kind of my signature project.

So, Sivan might go for him, but he cannot rule out the possibility that Grivon and the other two youngsters involved in the academy project as the academies are one of the foundational things about my organizations.

He would have too many options for him to conclude it was you who is hosting me and it would exhaust his time to learn whether it is true or not."

"Lets say, he takes his time, what happens when he finally comes. After all, all the other members are taking something from you, but I am the one giving you something if I did make the transaction, which is a suspicious, I don't believe he would take that much time to confirm that."

"Yes, he wouldn't, but I would also be trying my best to make him busy on other fronts. Out of his twelve foundational organizations only ten are left, two of them are completely gone and third one is on the way.

Grivon would be dealing with these organizations making Sivan busy enough as it is and I would be making deals with other youngsters of the clan so that they would be on the radar as well. I will give up small organizations under Sivan one by one. And I have a hunch that Vardar wouldn't be the first person that Sivan is going to look for."

"Oh really? Why would that be?"

"From what I understood about Sivan, he wouldn't think that I would be giving such an important task as getting the heirloom to one of the outsiders, in fact he might even think that I am not focusing on the heirlooms as having my own body is a prerequisite for me to even have any use for those objects."

"This seems like an overcomplicated sketchy sales pitch. Anyway, I don't want to hear how you are going to do, what I want is that Sivan shouldn't be anywhere near me for a few months at least after I finish the purchase. But what would I gain from this?"

"What do you need?"

"You are asking as if you can give me whatever I need."

"I might actually be able to do that. Why don't you give it a try and ask me?"

"I will hold onto the favor and see what I can get from you. But I need some extra commission for the transaction itself."

Sam looked at Grivon who is listening from the side and he nodded his head in acceptance.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, I wouldn't be making the transaction happen until you make some of the youngsters as possible targets for Sivan and also make him lose another organizations. I just want to confirm how well you can play this game.

The better your performance is, the better my performance would be."

"So, this is a deal?"

"Yes, it is."

Sam and Giyon shook hands while Grivon did the same.

After that the two of them left after Sam covered his face back in the cloak.

As they were walking in the clan grounds, Sam suddenly spoke.

"Grivon, I need a favor."

"What is it?"

"Make some of your subordinates wear cloaks like me. If I am the only one walking around, it would be pretty suspicious."

"Is that it?"

"No, Change your business associate. Shift the secret business associate to your open businesses. It would be hard to escape the soul scent once it was marked. He wouldn't be able to keep your business secrets. Wherever he goes, Giyon's people would ne able to track him down."

"But he is the only guy skilled enough to operate my secret businesses, what should I do if I have to lose him?"

"I will make the deals, if it is truly needed. But you cannot use him for the secret businesses. Send him to the open businesses that are under you. That is the best we can do for now. At least until we can confirm that Giyon doesn't have any reason to harm us."

"If you are doubtful of her, why did you give out such information like that?"

"To confirm some of my suspicions."

"And?"

"It would take some time to confirm them. I would tell you later. For now, let's get back to work."

With that, they went back to the stray realm doing their own jobs.

While Sam is trying to make preparations for the future possibilities of entering the game again, someone else is trying to eliminate all the possibility of him entering the game once again.

Back in Mari Clan.

Dayus is currently inside the temple as he performed a ritual for Zeus.

The statue started glowing and Dayus immediately knelt.

"Salute to Lord Zeus, the God of Lightning. Your humble servant Dayus is here in your presence."

"What do you want?"

"Lord, recently one of the clan members of the Mari Clan has managed to take over Sam's body and Sam who got trapped into this person's body is nowhere to be seen. He has been inactive in the whole game for a few months and didn't attack any of the organizations in the list.

I want to know whether he is still in the game or not."

Zeus stayed silent for a moment and said.

"What does it matter to you, whether he is the game or not?"

"It doesn't matter to me, my Lord. I just want to know if it is possible for him to come back. I thought that since he lost the body he was given for the game so carelessly, he might have to face some consequences and I just wanted to know what they would be so that I can strategize. He is my toughest competition of all, so I would like to be prepared."

"You just do what you need to do. Don't bother about the unnecessary stuff. Remember, I want you to win the game and you winning the game means, me winning the game. Do remember, I don't like to lose and I never lost. So, don't make this the first or you will regret it."

"Yes, My lord.. I will try my best to not bring you any shame."
