Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-2251

Hammer's death caused quite some stir in the Hephaestus academy.

Because the death was so sudden and there was no sign of the attacker. It was quick and easy. If not for the Hammer's friend using that artefact, his soul would have been completely erased and no one would have managed to find a connection to the death.

But now that the soul was stopped and the elders heard about the incident, they immediately reached the obvious conclusion.

"Hammer is someone's information mule and they are responsible for his death."

That was agreed up on by everyone and immediately, Hammer's soul was absorbed to see the memories. Meanwhile, Hammer's friend obtained the wrist band from the dead body. Since the importance of the wrist band decreased and is even considered a dangerous thing by everyone, he managed to get it without any resistance.

And to his surprise, he managed to access the contents.

The hub's restraints are no longer there.

He went through all the information and immediately became furious. Macht is the person who benefits from killing Hammer. And in this kid's mind, Hammer belongs to their family and in a way, their family's future head, he immediately gave the news to his eldest brother.

The eldest brother suppressed his rage and didn't display it openly.

Instead, he took the chance to go on the patrol duty. He waited for an hour or so and encountered Macht.

They battled. Macht couldn't keep up and was soon overpowered. So, he used some tricks to escape back to his academy. However, before he could get in there, he was killed.

Meanwhile, in the Ares academy, the death of the first grader also triggered an investigation. While the Hephaestus academy already sent an elder to talk to Ares academy since they knew Macht was the only one who might want to kill Hammer.

Meanwhile, in the Ares academy, the death of the first grader also triggered an investigation. While the Hephaestus academy already sent an elder to talk to Ares academy since they knew Macht was the only one who might want to kill Hammer.

But by then, Macht was killed right in front of the Ares academy.

Now, both academies are furious.

Hephaestus academy because Macht's death will not settle the chaos anymore and Ares academy, because they wanted to use Macht to deal with the Elder from Poseidon academy, who is responsible for the death of their student.

Conflict raised. Not just there, in other academies as well.

As for why, Macht's information mule was conveniently placed within the influence of the Poseidon elder, and how that elder's information mule was placed in Macht's academy… it is Sam clearly trying to make sure that the fuse will be lit.

He created several instances like this to ensure that the conflict will rise.

And it raised just like that.

The stability that Ling Tian brought with great effort has evaporated into nothing in just a few hours.

The night passed, with the academies getting into conflict and people killing each other. The Deans themselves had to step in to ensure the safety of the first graders. However, the pettiness of the people effected didn't stop there.

Whenever an info mule is dead, the information collected from their wrist bands was submitted to the court and a case was filed. Because of Sam's antics, the courts became really popular nowadays.

But they are not hoping for some fair verdict. Rather they are looking for a chance at trial by combat.

By Dawn, many more people did, but the situation stabilized a bit since the Deans themselves stood at the front and forcefully stopped their people to not attack others.

After that, they all held a meeting once again, excluding Wharton and Bloody Chariot.

"Fucking hell. We can't let this go on. We need to squeeze Sam out of the Gambler academy's control and get the news on the managers and Joker.

We are getting screwed over with every passing second. It is one thing for the information to move within our region. Once it leaks to other regions, a massive war will go on. We will not be able to stop the destruction that will fall on us.

Before that we need to destroy the hubs no matter what."

The Dean of the Ares academy slammed his table and yelled at everyone. It is not that he is angry at them, but that is the only he found to vent his anger.

The rest of the deans are irritated by the noise he is making, but they didn't disagree with what he said. They need to find a clue regarding the hub and stop it. Even though they wanted to somehow find a way to destroy the hub directly, they still don't know the consequences of it.

And Bloody Chariot…

They need to now choose if they should fight with Gambler academy or Bloody Chariot. The problem is that most of the Deans grew up in their teens while listening to the stories of Bloody Chariot. He is too much of a legend and this is making them lean towards dealing with the Gambler academy instead of fighting him.

Also, the Gambler academy has a lot more to lose in comparison.

After all, most people in the Gambler academy, including the students and elders are of little to no background. Even if they are killed, the only retaliation they need to face is from the Gambler academy and the few connections they had.

If the situation in the academy realm is normal, they would have definitely feared that.

But right now, when the families that are affiliated with the academies are on the verge of knocking the doors of each academy, they felt Gambler academy is a safer bet.

They also believed that the Gambler academy wouldn't be taking too many losses and they will handover Sam once the situation is out of hand.

The academy has too much to lose if they go too far to protect a single student.

They could do the same with Bloody Chariot. He also has the duty to protect the Zeus academy. But right now, they are taking too much heat from the families already. If something happened to people in the Zeus academy, their families will react.

Overall, Gambler academy is a better target.

As they were discussing on how to deal with the Gambler academy, all of a sudden, someone forcefully entered this secret meeting room.

"What are you doing here?"

Dean of the Poseidon academy asked the person that came.

It is none other than Bloody Chariot.

"I thought this is a meeting between the Deans of the Olympian academies. I just took charge as the Dean of the Zeus Academy. So, I figured, I would just attend here."

"You took charge?"

"Yes, its only temporary. But recently I realized that there are things that I could only do with the official title of Dean, so I took it. I will leave it after Heron comes back. So, don't worry about it.

Anyway, I am sure that you are interested in what I am about to say now."

"Please continue."

One of the Deans gestured.

"All of you want to deal with the Gambler academy. Because you don't want a conflict with me and you don't want to trigger Olympian families than they already are. So, your best bet is Sam.

But it won't be easy.

The trick that you played with the families of the people that were killed. It was okay, but it wasn't enough. I am sure, you are planning on using them again, but they won't enough this time as well. And judging from Wharton's personality, this time he will definitely lose his cool and then those measly number of people will die a dog's death in his hands."

"Then what do you suggest?"

"We will mobilize all the families that are related to the dead fourth graders once again, but I also know of some even more powerful families that would like to be involved in this. I will make contact with them and we can mobilize them.

On top of that, all of you need to use the forces of your academies. The elders and instructors all should be mobilized."

"The Zeus academy won't?"

"We have a deal with the Gambler academy. I can't mobilize the Zeus academy forces. I can't fight them either. If I do that, the Gambler academy doesn't have to follow the ransom rules anymore. They can do whatever the want with the people of Zeus academy."

"If we are all attacking the Gambler academy, what is the point of holding to those stubborn rules?"

"Because we are not trying to kill of all the members of the Gambler academy. You guys don't know what kind of person Wharton and his close students are. Most of his students have long since left this place, that is why you don't know.

But they will do anything for him and their strength… let's just say its unique.

If we kill the students and elders of the Gambler academy, the alumni will enter and they will take definite revenge. It would irreconcilable.

However, if we capture most of them, then exchanging for Sam would be a much more easier and realistic task.

So, mobilize everyone in a few hours. We will deal with the Gambler academy and use the captives to exchange for Sam as ransom."
