After hearing the contents of the letter, General Spark became hopeless.

The person who made Jim like this and the person who is stopping Jim to recover is same and that person is a Novice brat whose age is smaller than him being a Nascent.

Suddenly, he remembered the previous setback he suffered, which led his three daughters to suffer along with him for offending someone.

But the difference is, at that time, he offended a person who has same strength as him but he has high-level background. This time though, the person is weaker than him and the strength difference cannot be simply described as a lot.

He only has one way now and that is to mediate the conflict.

Even though, the four towers of profession are operated separately, they are still a lot closer to each other than the ruling party of the territory.

According to him, Sam must have used his potential as a bargain, since he is only sixteen and he is already a rank 5 artisan to prevent Jim from receiving the treatment.

His guess was almost right, but the deal is not the future potential rather a recipe. Sam has so many recipes of potions and pills in the divine dimension and they are a lot more advanced than the ones that are in the market.

Sam picked one of the lowest level recipes available in the dimension library which is used for people below Grand realm to restore spiritual energy immediately and made a deal through Watt with the tower head.

Even if he is a rank 5 potion master an upgraded version of the potion, if it can be in his hands and he offered it to the superiors, that would be his contribution which provides him more opportunities for his future development.

But General didn't know this, if he did, he would have been surprised on how determined Sam is to oppress him by trading something so valuable.

General Spark thought for a moment and decided to visit the Duke, but before that he has to do something and that is to talk with his son-in-law.

So, he led his students to the Duke's estate and he entered the communication room used for communicating with the Marquises.

His students are waiting in room as one of them laid Jim on a table whose expression is devoid of life and light.

At this moment Sam is talking to the fourth regiment commander who is the instructor of the camp.

"I want to go out."

His voice is devoid of any respect but the commander didn't mind and just asked nervously.

"Why?"

"I have something to do in Artisan tower. I am not going to interfere in the business mission of my teammates." Sam took out his tailor artisan and weapon artisan badges as he spoke.

Instructor permitted him to leave and Sam immediately went to the artisan tower and that is to upgrade his status.

If his guess is right, the Duke will be summoning him by evening and he should increase his own value to have more weight of his words in the discussion.

So, he is here to work for it.

By the time, Sam is at the entrance of the Artisan tower, Watt is already waiting there with his scholar artisan badge.

Sam went in and after a few hours he came out with a new upgraded badge and that is his weapon artisan badge.

Now, he is a Rank 5 scholar artisan, Pseudo rank 3 tailor artisan, Pseudo rank 3 weapon artisan.

After that he didn't stop there, he and Watt made their way towards the formation tower and after that inscription tower.

Now he is a Rank 2 formation master and a pseudo-rank 3 inscription master.

How did he get the pseudo rank 3 inscription master? That has something to do with Etching and creation of inscription matrices using Rank 2 inscriptions, which has same effect as a rank 3 inscription.

Now, he is done with his preparations.

"The problem is mostly resolved. You guys can open the restaurant back. But ask Philip and Kelly to work on the impact crystals as much as possible.

But don't over-exert yourselves if you don't make it with the restaurant. The remaining businesses are already booming and it will hard to pierce the market. So, try your best but be safe and don't fall into other team's tricks. "

Sam gave these instructions to Watt and flew away towards the camp on his hover board, while Watt himself returned to the estate to give the news to the rest.

Sam waited in the tent not even bothering to attend the daily routine, even the instructors didn't ask him to come.

They are happy as long as they don't have any interaction with Sam. After all, they picked on him for no reason and Sam could so too. If he found fault for everything they do and visited their camps time and again, they will lose the rest of the army too.

There already signs of soldiers wanting to quit.

Sam is waiting for the duke to call him. He was so sure because, from what he understood about the general he knew that he deeply cared for his students.

And if his hypothesis was right, he would try his best to save Jim from his current state. But since, the tower head of the Pharmaceutical tower didn't want to help, there is only one person who can convince him and that is the Duke.

But it was almost evening and he still didn't receive any call from the Duke.

This is because, the general went to have a talk with his son-in-law and was lost in thought. He just kept recalling the things his son-in-law said.

Particularly the last part of the conversation.

"General Spark, I already advised you to not to provoke him, but you still did. I withheld some info before, in case I would piss off that guy if I told it to someone, but since you are not a person who is not willing to listen, then I cannot do anything but tell you about this.

The Blackwater, Sam is the one who destroyed it in my territory. He destroyed the Blackwater branch in Blue flame city and the most important part of it is, the leader of the branch is a Nascent.

But still, there are nothing but the bones left of that person.

Sam killed him right before my eyes.

That is one of the cruellest murders I have seen.

That guy has to experience the blood leaving his body, his life force being sucked away, his internal organs being eaten and his flesh consumed by some really powerful insect type beasts.

Other than a bunch of bones, there is nothing left of him.

If you are thinking that any of the news you heard about Sam is exaggerated, then you better think again.

If I were you though, I would resolve the conflict as soon as I can. Otherwise, you better kill him in a single blow and get rid of the trouble once and for all.

If you don't though, you are going to suffer.

From, what I understood, the most fearful thing about Sam is not his battle prowess or potential, rather it is his brain, his intelligence and his wit. Even a if a breath of life is left in him, he will definitely take his enemy's life away before he dies.

Good Bye."

General Spark fell silent and thought for a while. He understood that Sam is not a typical genius who is just arrogant because of their backing, battle prowess or some minor achievements which they think are big deal.

He is different and at the same time dangerous. He is like a wild beast with a strong sense of territorial awareness. But instead of territory, he is so possessive of his things, friends, employees everything that is related to him.

Fifteen days of oppression. A typical genius will either endure or leave the place in pride seeing that the opposite party is too strong to handle.

But Sam went on his way to destroy the things that put the General in his position. He is an Insane guy.

Only after a long time did the general come to himself and walked out of the room. He met his students and carried Jim as he ran towards the Duke Palace. He has to clear the conflict as fast as possible. Otherwise, he would be in for a treat which he couldn't enjoy.

When the Duke saw that the General is running towards him like this, he thought that thee is some kind of crisis in the army.

Well, technically there is a crisis in the army but it is not one that he thought of.

General met the Duke in the Duke palace court along with his students and informed him of the situation briefly. He is too embarrassed to spell everything has happened because of his ego. So, he vaguely gave the hints

But Duke felt that something is a miss Still he agreed to talk to Sam and sent an attendant to summon him.

By this time, Sam is already sitting in the tent in his usual Black coat instead of the army uniform. He knew that he has to go meet the duke, so he would meet him in his own style, after all he is not just any soldier, he has a lot more identities than that.

When the attendant came to Sam, he complied and followed the attendant. They rode a eagle type level 4 beast as they went to the Duke palace.
