Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 139: Payback

The Old man looked at Sam without blinking. His face is filled with pain, and he is sweating.

His energy is being drained every second and his wound continuously bleeding is not helping either.

Sam has brainstormed a lot for this to succeed.

He carefully planned step by step. Even though, it didn't take long but that doesn't mean his effort is less.

For the plan to succeed, he used the shadow mice to the maximum of their ability.

First step is to confuse everyone in the room and create a fear of unknown. He has to make sure that shadow mice clearly followed his orders to teeth without any hiccups.

And they did.

Second step is that he has to create a thought that his attacks have a pattern. That is why, the old man didn't react immediately when he sneaked up on his back.

Sam only attacked his subordinates one by one in order to create an imaginary pattern which they thought he is following.

The Old man himself subconsciously thought that he is not the target, because Sam initially didn't target him directly even when he had a chance, so he assumed that the blue crystal and the shadow doesn't have the ability to attack him.

That only made him drop his guard down instinctively which helped Sam to do what he had done.

He even placed an energy cell to activate the formation in case the formation failed to draw the spiritual energy from the old man directly.

Now, the old man is captured without even a chance to move.

"You don't know what you are getting yourself into boy. Even if you kill me, do you think you can live longer. If you continue this, no matter who is behind you, you will die eventually." The Old man said in a weak voice.

"Do tell me what I am getting myself into?" Sam replied rather sarcastically.

"You can mock me all you want for now. That arrogance will not last long if you go against black water."

"So, you are saying that Black water is so powerful that I would die if I go against it." Sam said in same tone.

"You would you wish you would die." The Old man said clearly infuriated by Sam's mockery.

"I took down the Black water branch in the Falcon cliff city when I just barely entered Novice stage and killed your Great mage expert you placed there.

And after a few months, I am a Late stage novice and a Nascent mage is right in front of me completely restrained, his life and death hanging on my beck and call.

You have the guts to threaten with your organisation. You should look at your standard before you warn me. Bunch of trash." Sam sneered as he took out a chair from his storage and sat on it with his legs crossed.

"You guys might be the biggest underground force in the empire or even the continent, heck even the whole world. But if this is really the standard of your organisation you better save your pep talk.

Because, you are not worthy."

When Sam said these words, the face of the Old man turned red in embarrassment.

"Watt, tie him up to that chair." Sam said as he pointed at Luther.

Watt tied him up. Luther's face is filled with panic and despair. He didn't know that Sam could catch them like this and even destroy them within minutes.

Now, when he looked at Sam's eyes, he almost peed his pants. Because, the idea of abducting Watt is his.

He clearly knew that there is something up with this competition and they couldn't touch Sam, so he gave an idea to catch Watt and get the info out of him.

But Watt turned out to be a monster, he killed a person on the spot and almost killed other five. If not for the intervention of the Great mage they would have definitely failed to catch this guy.

He thought that the plan was a success but because he didn't know that Sam has a way to track them down just after a while of the kidnap.

Sam just stared at this guy silently, he didn't even blink and just looked on coldly. Behind Luther the Oldman who is restrained is also looking at Sam and wasn't able to see what is going on that fellow's mind.

After some silent waiting, foot steps can be heard from the stairs. Everyone in the room looked at the direction except for Sam and Watt.

Marquis and Jack came inside leaving Sky outside.

"Sam, what is happening here?" Marquis asked as soon as he entered the room but when he saw his son tied up to the chair, he didn't know what to think of it, his first thought was that Sam was pissed of by his son and the former is taking action.

But when he looked at the Old man, he immediately became solemn. The Old man is clearly a Nascent stage cultivator, but his energy is being leaking constantly and he is becoming weaker and weaker.

Sam didn't look at the Marquis and said. "You better ask your son, what is going on here."

Luther didn't even dare to look at his father much less talk.

Watt looked at the silent father-son duo as he sneered.

"Your son, an honourable member of Black water is presented right in front of you."

When Marquis heard these words, he became more dejected than angry. He liked his second son most because of his first and third son, doesn't know how to be humble at all, they are ambitious, in fact, too ambitious that their ambitions are beyond their intellect and ability.

His second son, was always content with what he has and always thought of the ways to maximise his own limited resources.

And those habits are the only ones that let him get caught now. He used his resources in Black water to perform in the test and that small action led to this situation.

Marquis looked at Sam, who stayed silent all the while and then looked at Watt clearly asking about what is the situation all about.

When Watt recounted everything, Sam stood up, looked at Marquis and said.

"What I am about to do, might make you hate me and make us both enemies, of course that depends on how you think about it.

If I do it in your absence and you find out later, and come at me to take revenge. I don't have enough patience to deal with all that." He paused and gestured Watt.

Watt took a step towards Luther, while Sam took out a large energy cell gesturing Jack to take a step back.

Watt took out two cards which are made of Silver meteorite sand and moved.

"Father Save me, Please father save me." Luther shouted on top of his lungs.

At first, he resigned to his fate and accepted his death, but when he looked at Watt's cold eyes, he remembered how much torture Watt went through and felt dread. He peed his pants as he asked for his father's help.

"You are too noisy." Before Marquis could say something, Watt cut the tongue of Luther halting his screams for help.

Watt started circling the chair as he started cutting and slashing all over his body. He didn't even have a way to scream his pain out due to tongue's state.

Marquis was about make a move, but he suddenly sensed an enormous killing intent. He looked at Sam who looked at him.

Even though, the other party didn't say a word, he could understand the message.

'You make a move and you die.'

Sam is actually planning to do so. All he has to do is, make the whole energy cell collapse by destabilizing it. With in the time period of explosion, he has to drag Watt and Jack into the divine dimension along with.

The remaining people will die for all he cares.

Marquis looked at Sam and then looked at the Old man, he didn't make a move and said.

"How about I execute him in public? I will kill him myself. Please ask him to stop, is it necessary to make him go through this much torture?" Marquis asked in grief.

His son, is being slashed right in front of him but he cannot do anything about it. Even if his son deserved this, he as a father rather not have him go through this.

"I don't care if you will kill him yourself nor for your public execution. All I believe in is the payback that I can give.

Because of your son, my subordinate suffered. He can only blame himself."

By the time, he was done with his words, the screams became louder, Watt is done with almost all the outer layer of Luther.

His metallic cards, were completely coated in blood, but he didn't stop, there is an unsettling rage in his eyes, he kept on moving and moving.

The flesh over the bones started to fall down layer by layer.

"Waaaawaaaaaaaa...…."

"Bwaaaaaa." Luther's incomprehensible screams of agony. Marquis closed his eyes and tears started streaming down.

Soon, Luther's screams died down as his soul left his body. His corpse stayed limp on the chair. Marquis looked at the skeleton which has some parts of flesh and even some internal organs are being visible.

Sam left Marquis crying and walked towards the Old man who is gulping in his nervousness. After all, he is the one who ordered the punishments on Watt.

The informer himself has suffered this fate, what about him?

Sam closed in and asked in a low voice almost in a whisper.

"Are you thinking about what you are going to face?"

The Oldman subconsciously nodded his head.

"You will see."

Sam took out his Blood collector and pierced the man near his heart as he started collecting the blood.

After almost half of the blood is drawn, Sam took a step back and let the queen out.

The queen bit him on the neck for a long time slowly absorbing the spiritual energy. The life force started to leak out. His robust body already became weak after all the suffering, now he almost became a bag of bones.

Just as he was on verge of dying, the queen left him and with a wave of hand, Queen termite is replaced with three Queen locusts.

They started gorging the flesh off of his body mainly the internal organs.

Finally the normal insects came out and started eating the residual flesh only leaving clean bones. Soon, the formation died down.

Sam kept the chains away.

He walked away with Watt and Jack leaving a crying yet terrified Marquis in the room.
