Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1438 - Investigation

The next day.

Sam went back to Saran's residence and checked on the babies, mother and then finally the hill.

Saran looked at him with a hesitant expression and asked.

"What is the problem?" Sam asked with a smile.

"I wanted to ask, why you are taking so much risk. I have a feeling that the lightning and stuff is related to the babies since you went to such lengths to hide it. From the way stressed it, I could guess that it must be very dangerous to relate them to this.

But why did you take the blame? After all, we didn't even discuss the price for saving my wife and the children. Why would you even go as far as taking such blame even before we could pay you for the huge help?

You are throwing me into deeper debt by doing this. It is not a comfortable situation for me to be in."

Sam took a deep breath and said.

"Don't worry too much. I can understand why you feel that way. I feel the same way when someone offers me a favour without asking anything in return.

All I ask is to be supportive of Grivon when he is taking over the clan. Stay on his side. That would be enough payment for me."

"Would me siding with him help him much? I am just a core elder."

"It would. You might just be the core elder, but your strength is different from the rest. You might try to hide it, but yesterday, when the lightning struck, you kind of revealed that a bit.

Even though you tried your best to hide it, Gail noticed it."

Saran smiled awkwardly and said.

"Even if that is true, you shouldn't just be asking that much. Your favour is worth more than that. Anyway, wouldn't you be having too much trouble if the lightning phenomenon is that much of a problem? Why would you want to take that on all by yourself."

Sam thought for a moment and said.

"Think of it this way. You will be facing trouble because of the babies sooner or later, so what I am doing now is just giving you some breathing space before your world just goes to shit.

That is it. Don't read too much into it.

And if people relate this phenomenon to your babies, they will definitely get more curious and the problem would only come to you faster."

Sam left after watching that the babies are okay.

When he went back, he was met with the same kind of questions from Grivon and Giyon. Gail and Grivon's parents are also very interested for some reason.

Sam just ignored and went to research.

Since the problems are gone for a while. They went back to focusing on business.

Now that Sivan is going to go dormant for a while because of the last situation with his father and the many men he lost in the previous battle, they figured this would be the best time to take over another property.

While it is like that, they also started searching for the creatures that came out of nowhere. The abominations created by Mingiv or whoever that he is backing.

The mistake he did is to use Grivon's property for the whole farce of framing Sam. Which means they can investigate everything there.

Sam knew that it would be hard to get clues. So, he decided to investigate every bit of it by himself. He went on to use observation ability on every inch of the underground makeshift base that Mingiv's people created to frame them.

There Sam collected every possible sample that he can.

The small leftovers of the blood of the creatures, the footprints, some hair strands, everything he could possibly find.

Of course, most of them are useless. He didn't have a highly equipped DNA database to check these things against.

It is just that the hair strands helped a bit when they are narrowing down the subordinates of MIngive they needed to focus on. They found an awful lot of red hair strands here and there within the tunnels and caves.

There are very few people within Mingiv's subordinates that have red hair. Only three of them when they considered the close subordinates that they assumed MIngiv would be comfortable enough to share the dirty deeds.

So, they targeted the three of them to spy on get some information.

Apart from that, Sam also found a wine jar.

An exclusive crystal wine jar used by a certain merchant group. A very very pricey wine jar that was crushed into pieces was found inside the tunnel and there is something Sam saw along with it.

An arrow was pierced into the wall.

The arrow actually broke the jar and from the spot that the arrow got stuck on the wall, Sam could guess that it was held by someone when the arrow came.

The arrow was shot by Grivon's subordinates on the day the whole fight happened.

Sam frowned as he didn't remember anyone being in one of the tunnels that day. He is even sure that no one left before the city guards guarded the whole place and kept everything under control that not a single person left or entered the place from that day onward.

That leaves only one other possibility. The person has another way to get out of the compound and close the way or they used a space token or something similar to getaway.

Too bad though, if Sam had checked it right after, he would have found any possible clues, but he couldn't.

Most of them were covered up.

The only clue he has is the wine remnants that were stuck to the crystal bottle pieces, and only the smell was a bit useful.

He found a canine beast from Grivon's new collection and made it smell the wine.

After getting that, Sam made Giyon and Grivon, get the most exclusive liquor then can buy all kinds of it from that merchant group.

Then he started testing the smell of each thing with the canine beast until he hit a match.

He went to Giyon immediately.

"This Volcanic berry wine. This is the one that the beast reacted to. How rare is it?"

"Not too rare. It would be a bit of trouble for us to find out. But I am sure this is only available in one restaurant within the city and it is almost exclusive to the young masters and their friends. Apart from a few merchants that come from a ridiculous amount of money loaded backgrounds, only the young masters visit there.

I think we can try and find out who bought the liquor within a certain time period.

But I highly doubt it will help us."

"Still do it anyway."

"You know, if you would have not warned Grand Elder Pon about this alerted these assholes, we would have had a better way to catch them."

"Do you think so? I believe the exact opposite."

"Why is that?"

"You are counting on the fact that they might get active again, but I am counting on the fact that they would now try to hide and erase all the evidence that could point out their activity at the moment.

With the kind of person Grand Elder Pon is, he will definitely trust my words at least a bit and will definitely look into the shit that his son and grandson might have done.

So, as soon as he shows the slightest signs, we would be able to see the panic of MIngiv or at least his father.

We would be able to catch them then."

"Let's hope it works then. Currently, Mingiv is scared shit that he holed up here. The only person that is a bit more volatile is Malgav since we screwed him off of his properties."

"What is he doing?"

"He is trying to find a way to get back at you, without getting the crap beaten out of him again."

"That would be impossible. And the next time, he might really die."

"There is that too. Are you really going to kill him?"

"Don't doubt it."

Giyon just shrugged and left. But as soon as she left, Jyon arrived.

Sam who hasn't seen her in a while was stunned. He kind of forgot her existence with so much drama.

He was feeling relieved until now and she is here.

"I heard that you were the one who did Saran's wife's delivery."

Sam frowned and asked.

"Who told you that?"

"Well, I was there when Saran asked Sister Giyon for your help. I was the one who took her there. Me and Saran's wife are old friends."

Sam just nodded and didn't say much.

"Why are you helping them save the secret of their kids? I mean, you clearly stated that you always work and take risks for your own benefit. But you didn't do that when it comes to your students, is it kind of similar with these kids too?"

Sam frowned and looked at her before asking.

"What is it that you want Miss Jyon? I cannot understand. Are you taking me as some kind of emotional case study that could analyze? Why do you care what motivations I have as long as they didn't concern your wellbeing?

If you are really treating me as a case study, I must say, you are doing a big mistake.. I might show restrain because of your siblings, but I am a dangerous man and I don't like other people analyzing me."
