Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 725: Payback

The Envoy is having a frustrating day.

Last night, he wanted to finish off Sam and also blamed faction 1 for it. But not only did the plan fail, his man who is one of his trusted subordinates has died. Due to the arrangements he deliberately made, there are no guards, no farmers and not a single soul has seen what happened there.

All they knew is that his subordinate was burned alive.

He wanted to force Sam into confessing what happened after he got his hands on him in the name of the investigation.

But Sam didn't even respond to any of their calls. Even some c.o.c.ky guards that wanted to use force were sent back.

He almost went there by himself, but he controlled the urge and focused on his real task so that candidate 2 can win the election.

He took a wine jar and chugged it to alleviate some of his frustrations. But what he doesn't know is that a small blue crystal is being moved all over the house he is staying in and the wooden floorboards of the house are absorbing a transparent liquid.

The crystal did not just circle the rooms and the floorboards, anything wooden is being covered and there are no traces of the liquid that was poured onto them. It was absorbed before it could even go to the surface.

While the Envoy is chugging wine jar after wine jar, the crystal-covered every wooden part of the house, except the table in front of the envoy.

But Sam didn't care, he let the shadow mouse take the divine dimension to the secret corner from where they entered and he came out of the divine dimension.

The Envoy immediately felt the foreign presence in his house, but before he could react, Sam already threw a small spark of flame onto the floorboard nearby and once again entered the divine dimension and disappeared from the house.

The flame which started slowly soon propagated all over and the whole house was burning with bright red flames and the Envoy was lost in a daze for a second.

When he looked around, everything in the residence is being burned. He tried to subjugate the flames with his energy, but it didn't help. It has a weird resistance to the wood elemental energy and he doesn't have any access to another element.

So, all he could do is defend himself and come out of the house. But while he was trying to walk through the flames, he felt that something is wrong and before he could realize it, a gla.s.s container full of transparent liquid fell from the top and he was covered with the Biofuel.

Before he knew it, he was enveloped in the flames and he could feel the heat directly reaching the muscle fibers and even internal organs.

He ran out of the house and tried his best to put out the fire.

"ARGGGGHHHHH…"

"AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHH…."

He rolled on the ground as he yelled at the top of his lungs trying to put the fire out. Soon, his yells and the large fire reached the neighbors and some people came running.

Some of the people within the group has water elements and helped him extinguish the fire which actually took a lot of time.

The fire is extremely resistant and it really did a number on the Envoy.

Even after the fire was extinguished, he is not happy. His whole body was burned and there is no sign of that superior elf's beauty.

He is like a lump of charred flesh and many wounds appeared on his body while blood is oozing out.

He is trying his best to catch his breath.

Sam who is watching all of this from a faraway building smirked and left the place without anyone knowing.

He doesn't know if there are some methods that elves can use to know the intruder, but he didn't care. He has been holding back since he came here, if they want to play with business, he is down, if they want to use force, he is down for that too. But someone using him as a p.a.w.n to increase their chances of winning and framing someone with his death, it is impossible for him to stay put.

He hoped that this would send a message and actually it did.

After the incident, n.o.body dared to touch the envoy who is lying on the ground. They are worried that his flesh would fall off of his skeleton if they touched him.

Soon, the guards followed by the officials that are nearby and the town head, all came along with some people that are specialized in healing. The healers slowly s.h.i.+fted him to the stretcher after administrating the first aid and brought him back to the hospital.

There is a surgery that went through the whole night and finally the envoy was saved. He almost died. But still, his good looks couldn't be preserved. His face was half burnt and his whole body was filled with burned marks.

They put him to rest and the healers informed him of this situation the town head and candidate 2.

Now both of them are gulping hard of the situation.

They didn't know what happened and don't know who did this. They are reluctant to believe that this the doing of faction 1. Because it is strictly forbidden for them to fight until the envoys are involved completely.

Apart from them, there are no direct hostile parties involved though. All of a sudden, both of them of thought of something and ran towards the Envoys' residence and started examining the place where the envoy rolled around while burning.

He looked at the traces of the burned soil, gra.s.s after examining it carefully, he once again ran out and went towards Sam's residence.

He has seen the burned area in Sam's house from afar when he went to the farmer's street to make the farmers calm down.

When he looked at the Envoy, he felt like the traces are a bit familiar, but he couldn't put the finger on it, now that he calmed down, he found the familiarity and he wanted to confirm it, but as soon as he entered Sam's yard, there are no traces of the battle or the burned corpse.

Everything disappeared. Sam is currently rebuilding the house all by himself. Since half of the house is still intact, he can repair most of it and stay there for the time being.

Raunak is beside him talking. When both of them saw the town-head, Sam didn't even bother to greet him and just went on with his work, while Raunak stopped asking whatever that was on his mind.

The town head calmed himself down and walked towards Sam before asking.

"What happened to the crime scene?"

"Your guards said that they already got all the information they can from this place, so I cleaned it up. You don't want me to stay with a skeleton in the house, do you?"

"No, no. Not at all. I was just asking because I wanted to confirm something."

"Confirm something? It seems like the town head knew something about the person that came here."

Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.

"He came here to a.s.sa.s.sinate you. But what I would like to know is how he died?"

"I would like to know more about the a.s.sa.s.sination thing. Who wants to a.s.sa.s.sinate me and why? I hope you have investigated."

"It is more important to learn how he was killed than why he wants to kill you. The same person who killed this a.s.sa.s.sin is suspected to attack the Envoy from the Capital.

So, I need you to help me with the investigation."

"Actually, I don't know. Even though he attacked us, all we did was defend him for a few seconds and hid in the house. I had to use a life-saving elixir just to recover.

Then someone interfered and killed that person. Before he disappeared I really did ask for him name and he said he is called Robin Hood. That is all I can say."

"How did he look like? How did he fight?"

"He is an archer. He shot an arrow that is materialized by pure fire and burned everything and he also poured some kind of liquid over the intruder after he caught the fire and burned him alive until he died."

"Liquid? What liquid?"

"I don't know, you are asking the wrong guy. Maybe if you find out if there is any relations.h.i.+p between the envoy and the a.s.sa.s.sin you might be able to find out who tried to kill them. Maybe he is a common enemy."

When he heard those words, the town head felt anxious and was quick to defend the envoy.

"What do you mean by the relation between them? How could there be any relation between an envoy from planet 1 and an a.s.sa.s.sin? You better watch your words."

"I am sorry. I am just making speculation. There is no need to be so defensive. Anyway, who can say for sure that a person of high status cannot have any relations.h.i.+p with an a.s.sa.s.sin? Just like how a person who looked to be of lower status, can have relations at a higher level. Everything is possible."

Sam said so casually, but the town head inhaled a cold breath and looked at Sam intently before leaving the place.
