RE-BIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 2454: Negotiate

Ten minutes later.

In the station of the Gambler academy and in Ling Tian’s personal tent.

Sam stood beside Ling Tian on one side of the table, facing the four elders from the Hephaestus academy on the other side. The four elders looked at Sam like he was a piece of meat. Sam felt the desire in their gazes.

It was almost… lustful.

He felt creeps all over and looked at them in disgust.

"What the fuck do you guys want?"

Ling Tian asked as he looked at them with his cold gaze. Both the elders and Sam were a bit surprised by his attitude.

Ling Tian despite all his power, is known for maintaining a professional attitude. It was weird for him to use such coarse language.

"We need to talk to Sam. About a deal."

"A deal?" Sam asked with a smirk on his face.

"Yes. We are looking for a technology exchange between Hephaestus academy and the Gambler academy. Particularly the technology regarding the puppeteering."

"I am sorry, but if you are looking for the tech you saw in the battles until now, then you are in the wrong place, or I should say, you made the wrong deal. That tech doesn’t belong to the Gambler academy."

Ling Tian replied even before they could make the full proposal.

"But it was in the hands of your student."

The elders asked in confusion. For some reason, they couldn’t comprehend this.

"Yes, precisely. It belongs to one of our students and at Gambler academy, we don’t have the habit of stealing the achievements of our students. Unlike a certain academy that was known for the deed for a long time."

The Elder’s face darkened and he said.

"Ling Tian, even if you are powerful than me, you are still my junior, so cut it with the snide remarks and show the courtesy that you would afford an elder.

I am talking about a serious deal here."

"I am talking seriously too. The tech isn’t in our hands and unlike your academy, the elders and administration don’t have any authority over the property of our students. Even if they did make it using the resources they obtained from the academy."

The elders took a deep breath and turned to Sam.

"Alright then. We will deal with him directly.

Sam, whatever you have… I don’t know where you obtained it from. But that was not something to be used as a plaything by a guy like you. So, I suggest that you exchange it with us."

"Obtained it?" Sam didn’t focus on the veiled threat in the later half of the sentence, he was stuck at the start.

"Yes, you do not expect for me to believe that you made this puppet technology on your own, right? It should either be a divine inheritance, or it should have come from the owner of the hub. But either way, you shouldn’t be having this kind of tech under your control.

And definitely not a monopoly over it."

"So, you are doing me a fucking favor?" Sam asked as he leaned back into his seat while crossing his arms.

"Indeed we are. You can ask Ling Tian, if you don’t believe me.

Your tech can effect the power balance of the academies way too much and this will soon spread into the Divine and god battlefields. It will bring you problems that you cannot afford to have."

Sam raised an eyebrow and turned to Ling Tian. The latter just nodded and said.

"I will tell you about it later."

"Alright. But tell me this, first. Do I need to sell my tech for the sake of Gambler academy?"

"No, Sam. At least, I can’t ask you that. If you decide to sell this tech, that will be your decision alone. There will not be any pressure from the Gambler academy. You have my word."

Sam nodded and turned to the elders.

"Fuck off."

The elders were stumped.

"You don’t know what you are doing…"

"I don’t give a shit. If you say one more word, I will go right back into the next realm and fuck your students up for good."

"You bloody…" One of the elders was about to lose, but another elder stopped him, but it was already too late.

"I said, not another word. You broke it."

The elder at the lead sighed and said.

"Sam, you and I don’t really have any conflict. It came from the unique positions that both of us occupy and we won’t see eye to eye on many things. But I am telling you, this is indeed for your own good.

Whether the wolf puppets or the bug puppet that you used for undead… both them were not something that should exist. At least not for now.

Its one thing for you to make it. But you started using it in the matters that irk the academies a lot…

The conquest of the worlds, is not something the other academies, take lightly.

Right now, you are just taking advantage of a sensitive situation and sooner or later, the other academies will make you pay you back.

I am sure, you could use one less enemy in that case.

Exchange some of your tech with and we will cut you a deal, that you will never be able to forget. You will also no longer be an enemy of the Hephaestus academy or its students.

We will never team up with the Zeus academy again when they were coming against you.

Think it over."

They turned around and left.

Sam didn’t even get to say them to fuck off again.

He turned to Ling Tian and asked.

"So, what the hell was that?"

"It was kind of a hidden rule. Whenever someone figures out something too ground breaking, they will always be sharing it with someone else.

Either it was under the pretext of some beneficiary deal or it could be with some allies and some neutral parties.

This is to ensure that no one academy can influence the hierarchy of this place too much. Kinda like you and your tech.

It has become a tradition and an unspoken rule. This is to ensure that all the other academies wouldn’t just gang up and burn that one academy to dust. But you brought something so ground breaking, but you are not sharing it.

"That was the most stupidest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. The first and the second."

"Do you think everyone thrives and revels in chaos like you do? These academies that were established here aim for a stable growth under a supervised competition."

"Whatever you want to say for yourself.

But I do kind of see some sense to this twisted practice. But I a still not selling my puppets. Not yet at least."

"Yeah, kind of figured it. But you be careful. Not every one follows direct steps like the Hephaestus academy. There will be people who will just come and deal with it using force."

"Yeah, they can try. I will be in the second grade external world and you will be here in the station.

I would like to see how they can reach me."

Ling Tian sighed and said.

"Just be careful out there Sam. That is all I can say for you."

"Thanks. Now. Can you tell me which realm, Philip is at? I want to finish his assignment soon."

Ling Tian sighed once again, this time in exhaustion.

He still gave Philip’s location o Sam and the latter left to go and hype his friend up.

On his way, he was thinking of the best way to deal with the situation. If it was a purely battle oriented school, then it was fine. It would be easy to hype Philip up. But dude is a fighter with mediocre forging skills stuck in a school of smiths.

So, Sam had to find a clever way to deal with this suff. Anyway, he already gave multiple scenarios to Philip, so that he could prepare for them.

And he could definitely pick from one and finish this.

So, he benevolently sent a message to the Hephaestus students and started his next conquest. This one was much faster than before. He ran through most cities, until in the last city, he tackled Philip.

The Hephaestus elders who were disappointed by the refusal of Sam, were delighted when they saw the battle sequence. They didn’t know how Philip managed to do it, but he definitely did that made the last city almost go in a tie.

The elders got the news and checked out the battle footage to understand how Philip did it and they were dumbfounded, how easy it was.
