Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The elders didn't make any noise and just stood there like statues.

The clan's leader looked at them with a sweeping glance and said.

"The underground organization is called the 'Dawn'. They seemed to have just arrived, but their goal is very simple.

They want to exchange all the young masters for a ransom."

"What the fuck? A ransom? Who do they think they are? We are the Gaja Clan, we are the rulers of this realm and many more. Now a no-name organization comes along and asks for ransom after kidnapping them? Like hell, we are paying them. We need to show them what it means to mess with the Gaja clan."

"Yes, we cannot cave in just because of some thugs. We are the Gaja clan, we will show them what it means to mess with us."

Some elders immediately got riled up. For many of these guys, the name Gaja clan is the only thing that made them what they are. They know very well that they mean nothing in the real world. They know that they are not worth much if they are travelling alone in the same realm.

The name Gaja clan is the only thing that gave them any worth. If an underground organization asks for ransom and the Gaja clan paid for it, the name of the Gaja clan will lose its worth and in turn, they will also lose their worth outside.

As elders are voicing their opinions on how strongly they should retaliate, someone spoke.

"Are we really sure that this is the work of this new organization? Why can't it be Sam just trying to distract us, since we are giving him such a hard time."

"Yeah, there is a possibility."

The clan's leader sighed and looked at the two elders.

"May I know what you guys think? I mean, what is even Sam's motive to do this? Kidnapping every one of them at the same time and the evidence just randomly appears out of nowhere? I have been looking at the investigation department's work too and they are pretty lax.

It is almost like they believed Sam is the true culprit.

Now that there is someone claiming the deed, you are still trying to point your finger at him.

Stop focusing on one kid and try to find out who really did it. I will talk to the investigation department about this.

Until it was completely confirmed, don't accuse anyone blindly and if my guess is right, that kid is going to come at whoever that is that used his name to create this scenario.

So, if you confess it to me in private, I will try my best to help you. But after it is done, it is impossible for me to help you with it.

You will be on your own and with the help of Giyon and Grivon's parents he doesn't have anyone powerful enough as an opposition."

Some of the elders snorted, but they also stopped speaking at the same time.

After the meeting was done, the clan's leader sent them away.

He then called upon one of his trusted subordinates.

He is a man wearing a black cloak and a black mask. Completely covering his whole body.

"You don't happen to be involved in this mess are you?"

"No, Sir. Since you ordered me to stay outside, I stayed out of it. I did plan on killing Sam, but with your refusal, I complied."

"Then who is trying so hard to frame him?"

"Do you want me to investigate, Sir?"

"Yes. I want you to turn every leaf and stone. Find whoever is creating this chaos. I don't want to blow this up on our face. At this moment, it is literally the future of the whole clan at stake."

"Yes, Sir."

With that, the man left and the clan's leader went ahead to call the whole investigative department.

He gave them strict instructions before letting them go.

While the clan's head is doing his part in a plan that he doesn't even know existed, Sam is having another meeting with Giyon and Grivon.

"We are done with the first step. We need to move on to the next. We will be meeting with different suspects at the same time. Since the clan's head just passed the orders, the heat would be a bit too much for anyone to bear.

The investigators would be looking in the same way we did and they would definitely be able to notice what is off with everyone disappearing at the same time. If they are really sincere, they might even narrow down suspects as we did.

So, the suspects will be a bit nervous at this moment and we are going to meet with them with different excuses and try to bring the conversation this way. I guess you don't need me to teach you right?"

The siblings rolled their eyes before leaving.

Sam also followed them out and he made his way towards Grand elder Pon's residence.

The whole clan is actually watching him, so when they saw him go to the Grand Elder Pon who is the one person they thought he would never go to, they couldn't help but feel a bit startled and curious. Everyone wanted to know what he is going there for.

Even before he reached the gate of the compound, the news has already travelled and an attendant arrived at the gate.

"My master wants to know why Sir Sam has visited."

"Tell him, it is to talk about a deal regarding his grand son's spine. I believe it is still not cured. Even by the great Divine Healer Vardar."

The attendant nodded without any change of expression and left.

Sam just stood there for five minutes before the servant came and led him to a meeting room.

There Grand Elder Pon is sitting calmly.

When he saw Sam, he gestured him to take a seat.

"So, what is the deal that you want to talk about?"

"Going straight for the business, are we?"

"We don't have anything to talk about other than business."

"Sure, we can. With all the excitement going on in the clan. There is so much to talk about."

"Are you here with a deal or not?"

"Of course I am. I want all of the properties Malgav and Mingiv have in their hands. The ones that are in partnership with the clan and the ones they are secretly holding. The businesses, fields, mines, I want everything there is to their name. Including the spirit stones that they are currently holding in their spatial rings."

Grand Elder Pon's demeanour changed completely.

"Are you nuts? Do you know what you are asking?"

"I know. I am asking for the entire fortune they acquired over the decades. A pretty steep deal even for me. But that is the price for your grandson being a pedophile."

"You hate him to the guts, why are you even doing this?"

"This is the question you should have asked at the start. Anyway, I am going to kill your grandson sooner or later. While I am here or when I am gone from here. It is bound to happen. I would just like to fleece him off. I will just take whatever he has and when he realized that he at least had life and stopped wallowing from his self-pity.

I will take that life as well."

As soon as he spoke, Sam felt the pressure holding him down, but he didn't show a change in his expression.

After a minute, the pressure was gone and the old man sighed.

"You are indeed as ruthless as the stories say."

"Stories? It seems like you have been doing research."

"I should. I was trying to find your weakness. But it seems like poking anything I could find would only bring more harm to my grandson. Particularly when Gail and Gamin are still involved."

Sam chuckled and said.

"Maybe, you realized that but someone else didn't."

"You are talking about the kidnappings? I knew you didn't do that."

"And how is that?"

"It is not your style. I would rather believe that it is indeed the work of the so-called underground organization."

"Rather? So, you don't believe it is them either?"

"No, I think someone who tried to frame you is the one who did it. Too bad, they still don't understand your style. You might be a pompous young man. But you are always cautious. If you had done it, you wouldn't have been roaming around like this.

You would have been hiding somewhere safe pulling all the strings from there.

And if you really believed that there is no danger, you would at least give a clear message to all these young masters. You would have rubbed it in their faces that you did it.

There is something really off about this whole thing. You didn't do either of what I said, you are just minding your own business.. That means, this is not your business."
