Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The subordinate of Saint who came to greet Muscle was stunned.

This is on top of the shock that came with Muscle's visit.

Muscle is a person who is very stubborn and stayed very true to his words. He hates Saint's guts and nobody is unaware of that. He made sure that everyone who comes into contact with him from within the organization understood that.

For that reason, Muscle never even bothered to come and get healed by the hands of Saint. Every fellow subordinate gets a special token from Saint because of the rule from Mountain master.

When that token is used, Saint has to come and heal no matter what. No price taken, no charge, no excuses.

That token could be used on themselves or any other people they wish to us it on.

Muscle who has never visited Saint to get healed, has a ton of tokens left. And it seems like he is utilizing some of them at the same time. Which is actually a really bad news to Saint.

Now, Saint has no probable cause to reject this. In fact even if he had a probable cause, he has to suck it up and heal these people here.

But Saint can't heal them at all.

"May I know what the problem is?"

"They were sent on a mission as part of their training and they all got infected by some weird poison. I don't know the details, but it seems like a special mutated fruit. They brought the seed of the fruit, the fruits are all gone.

We even have some roots and leaves if you would like that."

The subordinate didn't know what to say, but he tried to calm himself down and asked.

"Can you give me the samples, I will assign people to do the research."

"I am not doing it. I will only hand this over to Saint and tell him to get his ass out here. Do you really think these tokens are a joke? I can go and complain to Mountain master even if he more than ten minutes late without a probable cause.

Do you know what happens if I do that?"

"Please don't be angry, Sir. As I said Saint is recovering at the moment."

"What is he recovering from? Being too full of himself? I don't believe he is going to get rid of that disease any time soon.

If you don't bring him here within the next two minutes, I will go in and grab him by his neck.

Unlike your boss, I actually like my subordinates and I am willing to do anything for them."

"P… Please wait Sir."

The subordinate gulped nervously as he mustered enough energy to say this sentence out loud.

He ran inside and went to meet with Saint.

*knock* *knock*

He knocked on the door nervously.

At this moment, inside the room, Saint is lying on a bed. He looked weak. Even though there is no significant difference, if one observed keenly, they would know that he lost some weight.

His eyes are way too lifeless and it seemed like he has been crying for a long time.

When he heard the knocking sound, he couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.

"Who the fuck is it?"

"Sir, something came up."

"I told you to not disturb me. Do you want to die that badly?"

"Sir, Muscle came here and he brought the Saint tokens, I can't do anything in this situation. He is threatening to come in and drag you out if you don't show up. Please come and visit him."

Saint sat up abruptly in shock.

He ran to the door and kicked it off.

*BAM*

The subordinate who is standing on the other side crashed into the wall along with the door. This is one person that he doesn't want to see at the moment. It is almost right up there meeting with the mountain master and his disciples.

Muscle is one of the last few people he wouldn't want to tell his situation about.

Saint picked his subordinate up and asked.

"Is what you said truth? Did he really come here with the tokens? Why?"

"It seems like his subordinates are poisoned by some weird mutated fruit, he brought some samples of the trees.

His subordinates are currently still standing. But they are deteriorating as we speak. Things might get serious with time. So, he is in kind of a hurry."

"Why the fuck is this happening now?"

*BAM*

Saint muttered as he slammed the subordinate into the ground. The fault with the situation, definitely didn't lie with the subordinate, but unfortunately he is the one that got punished.

He fainted on the spot with some serious injuries.

Saint who came to his senses a bit, looked at the scene and sighed, he looked around and called some attendants.

"Take this idiot to get some treatment and send him back quickly to the reception. I am going there now. Make sure he is not seen by anyone else. Particularly that Muscle."

"Yes sir."

The attendant replied before taking the subordinate away.

Saint tried to calm himself down and slowly walked to the main area.

There Muscle is standing along with around ten of his subordinates.

"Long time no see, Saint. How long are you planning on letting us wait here? I even came with these stupid tokens that you often brag about so much.

Another minute I would have gone directly to the Mountain master."

"It is just a couple of minutes, what are you threatening me for? Why did you call me here? Your subordinates' situation doesn't seem that bad now does it?

Your regular healers might have already found a way to cure them if you hadn't dragged these poor bastards here. Now get lost. You can even save some of these tokens."

Saint turned around and was about to talk away.

"Thirteen healers. That's how many people I have met before I came to you. Nobody managed to figure out the reason.

We don't have the fruit. All we have is the seed and then some roots and leaves.

There is not even a tree left behind there because these idiots thought they shouldn't let others benefit since they couldn't take the tree from there.

They destroyed it.

Anyway, you are the only guy who has enough reputation for me to entrust my subordinates.

I am even using these stupid tokens to make you work. If you don't cure them now, I will kill you. I am not even kidding. If you don't even try with everything you have got, I will break your fucking neck with a single strike."

Saint halted in his tracks. He didn't turn around and look at Muscle. But his body became tense and he involuntarily touched his neck in fear of what would happen if Muscle gets pissed at the moment."

"I will cure them, but it will take some time."

"I don't care. But they should be ready within a week. That's your deadline. I don't know why a big shot like you who always brags about it asked for time before even diagnosing the situation. You are even avoiding to heal them. Is there anything you are not telling Saint?"

"Stop with your nonsense and get the fuck out of here. I will get your subordinates back to you in one week.

You better keep that attitude in check the next time you ask for my favor."

"Favor? Who is asking for a favor you fucking prick. This is your duty. You owe this to me."

Muscle waved the token and walked away after bidding farewell to his subordinates.

Saint looked at the tokens on the table and then at the subordinates. He gritted his teeth in anger.  He wanted to kill someone so badly at that moment.

But he cannot.

All he can do is suck it up and do his job.

He looked at his subordinates and spoke.

"Go and get all of the healers and researchers. I want everything related to this poison uncovered as soon as possible. Not a single detail should be missed and every subordinate that came here with it, should go as good as new.

Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir."

The subordinate went and informed of Saint's orders,

The healers and researchers immediately started the tests. They didn't slack off since Saint was so serious about this and when they learned the situation about Muscle, they became even more careful.

They knew that falling into Muscle's hands at the moment is the worst thing that could happen to their boss.

But after the next three days of constant work, there are no results whatsoever. They couldn't figure out what kind of mutated fruit that is since there is nothing left of it. The leaves and roots can only get them so far.

They didn't even begin to understand what kind of mutation this tree has gone through and what changes occurred. Particularly, not before they could learn are characteristics of the tree before they mutated.
