Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

General Spark clearly understood that Luther was indeed tied up with Black water and didn't probe any further. But he still has a lot to talk about Sam.

"Why did you let a brat walk over my grandson?" He asked seriously.

Marquis didn't know what to say to his father-in-law. Because, he didn't treat the latter like that.

Their relationship is more like a transaction. As for General Spark's relationship with his daughters and Grandsons, he spoiled them because of an immense the guilt he has to carry.

His daughters paid a huge price which cannot be compensated due to him, so all he could do is make it up by spoiling them.

A few days back, his first daughter contacted him through the Marquis and Duke communication system, which is also accessible to her due to his spoiling attitude and complained about how her son was being toyed around by a Rank 5 Scholar Artisan who is only sixteen years old.

He is angry at his Son-in-law about this, but he cannot do much about it.

Even though, he asked why he is letting him do that, he knew better than anyone what his answer is. After all, a scholar artisan that too Rank 5 at age sixteen is not an ordinary person and it is not easy to control him.

Marquis took a deep breath and said.

"General Spark, I don't know what your daughter told you, but there is one thing I have to say to you. I don't want to handle anymore unnecessary enemies. You know better than anyone what would happen if we push someone to their limits.

Your daughters are living examples. I just hope that you won't do the same foolish mistake again."

General Spark immediately got angry at Marquis' words. Even if it was true, he didn't want to hear it since it is one of the dirtiest pasts of his.

He snorted and said. "Are you saying, that I have to take your advice and cannot mess with a brat? Remember, even if we have a transaction it is not your time to advise me. As for that brat, I spent more time being a Nascent stage cultivator than his age. I don't have to care about that."

Marquis didn't say anything and just stayed silent. Of course, he understood that Nascent stage is powerful, but that old man of Black water is also a Nascent stage, even if he is early stage one, from the point of you a Novice stage cultivator, it doesn't matter.

Both the early stage Nascent and the Middle stage Nascent, both of them are same for a Novice, they both can kill him in a second.

But what happened to that Old man.

Marquis has only one thought in his mind.

'You are a Nascent, Great. But it is not like Sam hasn't killed one before.'

Even though, Marquis doesn't know if those chains would affect this Middle stage, his instinct is telling him that General would end up in same way, if Sam put sufficient effort in making preparations.

"I am leaving now; I would be coming back tomorrow morning. Make sure that all your candidates are here by that time."

General Spark left that place after that.

While General and Marquis are discussing something, somewhere in the city, which is also called the central region Sam and Watt are in the Artisan tower.

Sam came here because, with his Rank 5 Badge this place is the best for gathering the info he required very easily.

"Artisan Sam, I heard a lot about you from Chaya. It is an honour to finally meet you."

A middle-aged man who is also a Rank 5 Artisan received him personally after he spoke to the receptionist.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Sam spoke.

"Artisan Ford, I have something to ask you. Since, you are an Architecture Artisan, you should no about the Real-Estate in the City, right?"

"Of course."

"Since, I am new to City I don't have much knowledge on how it works in here. So, I have no choice but to trouble you. I want to buy a house in the city."

The middle-aged man was silent for a second and said.

"Artisan Sam, since you came to me, you should know the situation of the city. The city is divided into three parts. The Outer region, where commoners live, the inner region where some what rich people live and most of the business occurs and finally the Central region, where upper class of the society lives.

And we the architecture artisans mostly work in the Central region only and some special projects. You should understand that the influence I am at, the price is pretty high."

"We don't need to worry about the price at all, it is secondary. I want a house in the central zone and it would be better if it is near General Spark's house."

When Ford heard this, he was dumbfounded for two reasons. First one is about price being secondary and second one is the house being General Spark's place.

'Is it a coincidence that this guy appeared just now?' This is the only thought in his mind and as if he was afraid that Sam would change his mind, he stood up and said.

"I actually have a perfect place for your choice. Please follow me."

Sam was surprised at the response but he stood up. Watt and Sam followed Ford into his carriage and after travelling for a while they arrived at a building which has a logo Sam was completely familiar with.

"Golden-Horse trading company?" Sam said.

"Oh, since you are already familiar with this name, I don't have to explain much. This company deals with all kinds of trade within the Southern star city and they have almost all kinds of businesses, even the four main profession towers also cooperate with them.

The place I am about to show is also a collaboration project between them and us."

They went in and were led by an attendant to a meeting room, within five minutes, another middle-aged man came inside the room. He came in rather frantically and after greeting Ford, he asked Sam.

"Sir, are you sure those are your only requirements?"

Sam just nodded his head and the other guy seemed to be ecstatic.

"We will go right now."

Again, after another carriage journey.

Even though, the Central zone is the inner most part of the city, it is the largest of all three. It is twice the size of both inner and outer cities combined. But the population is not even one tenth of both inner and outer cities.

Because the whole place mostly has a lot of free land which are given to nobility and the other citizens as rewards for their contribution.

There is still more than half of the land in the zone which is empty and Duke will employ the Golden-horse trading to create the mansions now and then to gift the people with enough merits.

Sam and the rest arrived at a large estate. When Sam this he was surprised. It is actually an estate. He didn't think that they would show him an estate instead on mansion.

"Sir, that is the Estate of the General Spark." The middle-aged manager whose name is Cane said as he pointed at the estate opposite to them.

Then he continued with his explanations.

"Actually, our current estate also belongs to General Spark. He decided to see it because he has some urgent need for a large amount of money."

When Sam heard that the estate belongs to General spark, he was happy.

Since, this old man purposefully made things difficult to him and did not let Watt stay with them, he might have even made some arrangements to make sure that they won't get any accommodations.

If he can get normal accommodations in an inn what is the point of him making all the fuss and letting him go out.

But now, if he knew that Sam is buying his very estate, he is wondering how that Old general would react.

When they entered though, Sam was stunned.

It is not your every day estate.

There is a lot of greenery in it but it is not the type of greenery came with tree, rather a translucent green crystal-like stone was all over the estate, rather than saying that it is all over it, it is more appropriate to say that it is made of that stone.

Sam didn't say anything, he just waited for these middle-aged men to speak. After they walked deep inside the crystalline land, they saw a large mansion.

The place around the mansion does have required scenery and the plants and tree along with a garden. But it is only for that space, the rest of the land is full of crystals.

Both middle-aged men, exchanged a glance and Ford explained.

"Artisan Sam, I would be blunt with you. The thing is General Spark got this land as a reward and but the main problem is, he didn't care about it when it was given and some nobles and officials set up a trap to get rid of this land.

But now that he needs some money, he suddenly remembered this land which doesn't have any value.

You might not no, these green crystals are called impact crystals. These react under any physical force and starts absorbing the surrounding energy, but if the energy crosses the limit, the crystal explodes.

So, it is hard to clear the land and there are not many uses with these crystals to mine them carefully.

But General started acting stubbornly and we don't have a choice to oppose him. We made a lot of effort to make this one mansion here.

Don't worry though, we won't let you suffer a loss.

Generally, a mansion of this size will cost 30 million in Southern star central zone and this estate even though a waste is almost as big as the size of estate of the Duke Family's. It is the second biggest estate with more than 1000 acres of land.

If you want to buy an estate of this size you would have to pay at least 1 billion.

But the land is barren and complete waste, so the General didn't ask much. All he needs is the 30 million for the mansion and another 120 million for the whole land."

At this point, Sam only had one thing to say.

"Deal."
