Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 1149: Planting a Seed

The second young master is pacing around in the tent nervously as he bit his nails.

He is sweating profusely as he muttered incoherently with an anxious expression. His subordinates are looking at him with equally anxious expressions.

It has been three days since the interrogation from the investigators of the enforcement department was done.

In these three days, the whole second branch of the puppet organization is completely shaken to its core with a lot of turmoil.

For starters, Sam started creating an external nuisance as he launched several attacks on the city from various sides.

He didn't damage much, but of the infrastructure and definitely didn't kill the people, but he destroyed a lot of puppets and managed to exhaust the forces repeatedly as he attacked only with his puppets.

It is more like a testing ground for the combat ability of his puppets and he clearly showed one thing to the puppet organization. He showed that he can clearly destroy them and he does have the means to do it and it is just that the price is really too high to pay.

Every time, the puppet organization barely managed to save themselves from some extremely dangerous situation that could have opened their formations up by sacrificing a lot of puppets.

While the situation is like this from the outside, the inside is not at all calm.

The first thing that happened is that the investigator who interrogated him was dead in the same way the previous three people died.

The investigators didn't find any traces of the killer around and obviously, all the fingers are pointed at the second young master who was placed on a temporary house arrest.

Another investigation team was sent to interrogate him and his subordinates and to the dismay of the elders of the organization, one after the other every member of the investigator team died.

Even the team leader, who is a low-level elder was dead and his death is the only one that had any traces as it seemed like some battle has occurred.

Apart from that, the rest of the deaths are all silent and clueless.

This made the second young master terrified. Because the implication of killing a whole enforcement team is not something he could bear. Even if he is the core disciple, it is not something he could shoulder the responsibility for.

And after that death, the second young master immediately wanted to go to the second branch leader and explain. But he was not allowed to go out of the room at all.

He was locked in with a bunch of guards not even allowing him to step out of the door.

And at this moment, the elders and the branch leader are having a meeting on how to deal with him. They don't have any tangible evidence against the second young master and if they really dealt with him without any evidence, they would lose integrity within the organization as they only favor talent and capabilities.

The second young master started as a normal disciple here even the current branch leaders and elders started as normal disciples. They need to do this fairly.

But they are worried about what the second young master's motives are if he is really involved in this. After all, they are going through a war and the opponent is exactly a pleasant enemy to have. So, they are a bit wary of this all and the investigation is not showing any results.

At this moment, the elders and branch leader are discussing how to proceed. It is leaning towards just dealing with him and the discussion is pretty one-sided. But there is one person who is against it all and at this moment, that person's voice holds a bit of power.

It is none other than the first young master.

"Don't do anything drastic. I don't think the second young master will be doing this. He has been pretty loyal to the organization all these years and this is the place he practically grew up in. And if he is really hiding something and is killing everyone who came into contact with that matter, will he really be doing all of this openly.

I don't think he is really that dumb. If I had to believe something, then I would believe that someone is trying to frame the second young master and are trying to make us kill him."

The elders didn't know what to say, but one of the hot-headed ones immediately replied.

"Are you saying that one of us is doing this?"

"It is a possibility. But I am leaning towards someone infiltrating the city before we imposed this lockdown and they are causing all of this. Isn't it more feasible and appropriate?"

"Even if you are right, we cannot just let him go like that. There are still some suspicions surrounding him." The branch leader spoke.

"You are right. But currently, we cannot afford to lose some like the second young master and his subordinates. He is skilled and I need him to work on my project. If the project is not ready, we wouldn't be able to face Sam no matter what.

And from the looks of it, he is getting ready for a large attack. After all, the firepower on the other side is increasing with each skirmish."

The discussion went on and the first young master completely convinced the other party to let the second young master off the hook and the only condition for that is for the first young master to personally look over the second young master.

When the second young master heard this news, he was stunned. The attendant who delivered the news left, but the second young master didn't feel relieved at all. In fact, he became angry.

"Why the h.e.l.l is he helping me? What is planning?" Those are the thoughts of the second young master. He didn't think that the first young master helping him is out of goodwill or responsibility. Rather he felt that the whole thing is a plan.

As soon as those words were spoken, one of the subordinates standing on the side had a smile on his face. It is Kiran.

All this while he has been pa.s.sive in this role as the plan has changed due to the imposed lockdown.

But now it is his time to act.

"Young master, I think the first young master is really planning something."

The second young master looked at him in surprise. Even though he is thinking about what kind of plans the first young master might have hidden here, he knew he is just thinking of spite and jealousy.

But when one of his subordinates particularly one with the most cunning mind said so, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

"Second Young master, don't you feel that it is weird that everyone you came into contact with is dead. Except for our batch of close subordinates, the guard, the guard captain, the prost.i.tute, investigators, enforcement elder, all of them are dead just like that and every one of them has come into contact with you.

This happened right after you took up the research project that was given by the first young master as if someone was trying to sabotage it so that you wouldn't get the credit you deserve after the project is completed.

And now when you were thrown into the pickle, the first young master out of all people, goes on and supports you.

Don't you feel that it is a bit suspicious?

Why is he supporting you when both of you clearly don't like each other? Why did he even make you join the project?"

The second young master fell into thought, even though he felt that it was a bit farfetched, he still couldn't help but think and the subordinate continued.

"Just think about it. As soon as he gave you permission to enter the project, all the elders, branch leaders, and the executives of the branch were in favor of him. They felt like the first young master is not only talented, but he is also extremely virtuous for letting your grudge slide in the face of war.

Now, he is trying to get you out of this impossible situation even at the risk of being implicated as you were put under his supervision.

His image only grew brighter in the hearts of the people and elders. Now they are all suspicious of you and the first young master is being praised and admired. They are thinking of disposing of you while consulting him. What do you think that means?

In their eyes, you are no longer the core disciple of the second branch, you are a liability that they need to get rid of and he is going to be the one who protects the liability despite his grudge."

When Kiran finished his words, he could clearly see the change in the expression of the second young master.

He couldn't help but smile. The seed has been successfully planted and this step of the plan is perfectly executed.
