Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 1405 - Fleecing I

Chapter 1405 - Fleecing I

The whole arena is silent for a long moment that lasted for over five seconds and suddenly it burst into wild cheers.

The audience cheered with excitement and Grivon looked on with a smirk. The Mantis which is soaked in the blood slowly stepped back and looked around to make sure that there is no other threat left around it.

Slowly the lightning started condensing into its body and the skin started oozing out some kind of purple liquid that turned into the sh.e.l.l once again.

Gwan looked at the whole process and gulped. He didn't even know how to react.

"Young Master Gwan, shall we proceed with the transfer? Today, I am feeling really happy, so I would go and take a look at what the new land I just obtained is like if we are done with it soon."

Grivon's words brought Gwan back to his senses.

"How?... It is just so small. But how is it so…"

He couldn't finish his senses with such a brutal loss and felt extremely irritated and then when he realized he just lost a hectare of land with such a profitable herb growing there, he couldn't help but want to swear and scream at someone.

But he knew he couldn't just pay it off.

"Why don't we play again? We can finish all the transfers later? We can go for bigger stakes?"

"No, young master Gwan. I learned to quit while I am ahead. I like to gamble, but I don't want to be a gambler. So, maybe later. For now, I would be happy if you finish the procedure. I need to find a buyer for the land after all. I am just a mercenary and I cannot keep the land for myself."

Gwan wanted to argue, but at this moment, the attendant who took the bets ran towards them excitedly and gave the bet money to Grivon.

"Sir Gevin, here is your collection. You gained twenty billion spirit stones."

"Thank you so much. Don't forget to keep your two percent."

The attendant was ecstatic. He was skeptical before the start of this, but now he knew how lucky he was to be an attendant for Grivon on that day.

And he only felt luckier after listing to Grivon's next words.

"Young master Gwan lost a bet and is about to transfer the property he wagered. Could you bring you the manager here? I would like to be the witness and process the agreement with the Gandharva oath.

I heard he is very skilled at that."

"Yes, Sir."

"And, tell your manager that I would want you to be my attendant whenever I come here."

"Yes, Sir. I will definitely do that."

The attendant ran away with ecstasy apparent in his eyes.

Gwan who wanted to convince Grivon to just go for another bet stopped thinking of that. Since Grivon went as far as calling the manager, that only means, he is really not interested in the bet again.

"Your next bet should be with me Gewin and next time, we are going for much higher stakes."

"Of course, young master Gwan. I will definitely acquire something big as I have some things lined up and for every big thing I get, I will come to you to wager. I have acquired quite a big collection of beasts and I cannot wait to show them off to you and pit them against your own."

With that, the manager came and the property was transferred.

Grivon didn't even wait for a second. He took his beast and left the place as if he would lose the property if he stayed there any longer.

After going to the residence they were using, he went to meet Giyon secretly who is currently staying in the headquarters of the realm. She can see the Headquarters of the organization from her window.

It was already night by the time Grivon reached there.

"So, how are you doing out there? Did the target take the bait?"

She asked as she made some tea.

"Yes, he did. And here is the first gain."

He slapped the deed on the table and Giyon went through it with surprise.

"A hectare of land and the Purple Dust flower crop that is ready to harvest? This guy is really an idiot and he is also a gambler. Quite an idiotic combination that is."

"Yes, it is an idiotic combination. And it is great for our benefit. So, how are you going to proceed with this?"

"The Purple Dust flower is the main ingredient in many medicines that are used for bone strengthening. It is great medicine for Mortal Plane cultivators and even some Astral Plane Initiation cultivators.

It is a big business as it is. But I want to send the details to Sam and see if he has a better idea."

"He probably would have. What is the first product you are launching?"

"Since we are already into the food industry and it is getting some decent money, I want to target the weapons next. The medicine is the biggest here and I figured it would be better if we poked at it later. I don't want to cause chaos before I make some serious connections from people outside of this realm that act here."

"That's good. Go for the energy barrier business if you can. I just showed it off as a wager to this young master and I said someone is launching the product here in the capital.

So, if you do that, I might gain some extra credibility when it comes to info and it might help me out."

"Energy barriers? Not a bad idea. It is actually easier to penetrate since there is not much compet.i.tion for it. I will go for that."

"Send a message to Sam then. He will help you set up the production faster and I also acquired the list of the properties under Gwan. I want to know which would be the better picks. So, ask him on my behalf."

"Sure thing."

As they had some more discussion about the businesses and some general chat, night slowly crept away and by dawn, Grivon moved back. He went back to the city and waited for a message from Giyon regarding Sam's answer.

Two days pa.s.sed and he finally got the answer. In fact, Giyon brought it herself.

"He just wanted you to go for it. You have absolute freedom. You can take whatever type of property or resource you want. The only requirement is that it would be better if they are close to harvest."

"That is something I can do. I have a very long list to pick from now. So, why are you here?"

"You have been noticed by the people in the capital. For some reason, the hectare of land you took was noticed even though it is the private property of Gwan.

Maybe it is because they are a bit caught off guard with how quickly it came into my hands, so they are thinking you might have targeted Gwan with hidden agenda."

"But I did target the guy with some hidden agenda."

"Just keep it in control and don't get caught. Just don't gamble with him for a while and wait until he approaches you by himself. Also sell, the carca.s.s of the snake to somebody else so that they won't doubt you too much.

Also, act like a normal mercenary sometimes. Go on a mission, do some dirty work, and conduct expeditions."

"Sure, Sister Giyon. Sure. Is that it?" Grivon spoke with a sigh.

"What is with that tone?"

"You speak like my mother. Why do you always end up taking that tone whenever we talk? It is almost annoying."

"Well, then stop acting like a child. I just came here to warn you. Goodbye."

With that, she disappeared.

For the next few days, Grivon didn't act up. He spent three days outside conducting some high-profile expeditions, at least that is what the people and the city heard.

And since he got a hectare of land from the young master, his news is something so many people are paying attention to.

Gwan on the other hand is paying attention too much. He already noticed that Grivon is deliberately escaping him.

He is trying so hard to not meet with Gwan and in fact, he is trying too hard which is easily noticeable.

This puzzled Gwan and on the thirdvnight, when Grivon and his team came back from an actual expedition, he was ambushed.

Not with an attack, but with Gwan being alone without any guards.

"What are you doing sneaking up on us like this young master Gwan? You could have been killed you know?"

Grivon said with a frown.

"Gewin, it seems like you forgot about our deal. You didn't come to the arena."

"Well, I didn't find the time to. Haven't you known about this? I am a mercenary."

"So, what? It seems like you are deliberately avoiding me.. Don't tell me that you don't want to continue right after beating me. Are you that scared of losing?"
