Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 558 - Smuggling



Sam went back to Mirage city after he received the news and met with the emperor to confirm that the Palace of inheritance is indeed someplace that he wanted to enter and even showed him the token to make him believe.

After that, he went on to develop the business of the shipbuilding. The two factories are going to be working together and one of them is responsible for the engine and the second one would make the transmission systems that could help vary the speed of the boat or ship and the steering system that helps in navigating the ship along with the whole structure of the ship.

Why leave one whole factory to manufacture engines? That is because engines are going to be a separate business. After his ships are released into the market, many people will get some ideas with the engine and he doesn't want to monopolize every single idea that comes with the engine usage.

All he has to do is sell the engine and demand a price.

For that, he needs to train his workers. Most of them are skilled artisans and all of them have decent cultivations with the lowest being a Grand realm cultivator at the initial stage. So, there is no need for him to worry.

While, Sam is feeling relieved that the Palace of inheritance appeared and is looking forward to developing in this world, the rest of the players are not feeling that good.

Except for Arman, everyone else is somewhat exasperated. Most of them didn't move from the surroundings of the place they appeared at first. Because they thought that the Palace of Inheritance would appear near them.

They could only curse themselves for being Naïve. All the players came to know about the news one way or the other. But they are all troubled.

If any of them are in contact with each other and talked about where they appeared in this world right after they came, they would have found a pattern.

That is, all the Players only appeared in six main nations, and in every nation two players appeared, except for Mov, where Sam intruded and made it three.

Of the two players, one of them appeared in a troubled place near the Imperial Palace and if they couldn't get out of that, there is a high chance that they would be captured and sent to prison.

As for the second person, they are sent into a less perilous situation far from the Imperial capital, but they would have to face dangers in their journey.

The types of problems differ by too much, but the difficulty is about the same.

But at this moment, due to the players' thinking half of them are in an advantageous situation while the other half could only complain about being unfair and make a long perilous journey.

In the second category of the players, Arkiv is having an even harder time.

When he appeared he was in a special place of the Rumbrum Empire. This place is where the fugitives run to and the city guards, bounty hunters, and even special military forces come to this forest.

The red-scaled Nagas he encountered are even part of such special force under training. But he was able to survive and managed to get into a town deep in the forest.

The town doesn't have any form of human settlements nearby.

But he didn't know initially, all he wanted was to stay alive.

Soon, he realized that he is in a troublesome place. The fugitive town is created by a famous criminal all over the Rubrum empire and it is a hub for many outlaws.

There are many people who have some dangerous background. Thankfully, the town is situated in the deeper parts of the forest and it is almost impossible to find it and even if the authorities did, they wouldn't be alive to send the news.

Arkiv should be considered extremely lucky to even get to this place. But the problem is, after he recovered he wanted to get out of this place.

He knew that the situation will not be good for him when the Palace of inheritance. But when he was on his way out of the forest, he was mistaken by some newbie city guards as some human criminal and was attacked, he wanted to surrender and clear up the misunderstanding.

But then only he realized that they are looking for a scapegoat and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself before attacking them and escaping, now he truly became a fugitive and there was a serious tail on him. He couldn't endure anymore and once again go back to the fugitive town.

After searching the town up for a bit, he found some information brokers. They will sell info and buy info too. They only appear once a week in the town and are some pretty big-shots in here.

So, from then on, he at least doesn't have to worry about not knowing anything when the Palace appears. He even got news about Sam and his deeds in the military along with his daring act of making the Emperor apologize.

This made him curse in frustration. Sam is way too capable and lucky in his opinion. He wouldn't get an opportunity like that, because he cannot manipulate the situation around him as Sam did. He is way too sure that Sam would have already made some sort of deal with the Emperor to get into the Palace of inheritance. He wouldn't just leave himself in a passive position as Arkiv did.

While he was thinking this and that, he couldn't help but feel even more frustrated. What should he do if he wants to get rid of the current plight? For starters, he has to go to the capital and that too escaping the city guards, from what he knew he was one of the most wanted criminals and the city guards did bind him in a complicated case.

Even if by chance he succeeded in going to the capital, there is another thing waiting for him. He has to find a way to convince the emperor in allowing him to the Palace of inheritance and an identity as a fugitive wouldn't help this at all.

Even if he was able to join the competitions held by the emperor, he would soon be noticed by others easily and get into trouble once again.

There is no way he would be able to get past the current predicament and he was thinking long and hard about where to go and what to do about it.

After he roamed the town and the nearby woods endlessly, he was finally able to find a way out of this situation. He knew there still forty-five days for the palace to open since he cannot enter through the rubrum empire no matter what, then all he has to do is go to another country and try his luck there.

And why did he think going to another nation is easy? Because he encountered someone that could take him there.

A smuggler. When he was roaming around and reached the only bar in the town, he overheard a conversation and found out that someone is an expert smuggler and is very good at sending goods.

He went to him and asked.

"Can you take something to Mov empire?" He met with the smuggler directly and asked.

"My next stop is there, I can go. What should I take? As long as you have money." The other party didn't take the sudden interruption in any bad light, he even smiled as he chugged the drink in his hand.

"Can we talk in private?"

After a few minutes, both of them are behind the bar and talking.

"I want you to take me to Mov empire. Smuggle me in some way."

"Smuggle you in? Boy, do you think sending a person is easy? You have to pay a fortune for that."

"I will pay."

"Are you sure you can afford it?"

"How much do you want? Just say the number, as long as you can get me to a place I can pay you as much as you want, if it was beyond my limit, all you have to do is take me to meet a person and he can pay you."

"I need fifty million."

"Done."

"Eighty Million?"

"Done."

"One hundred?" The smuggler asked when he saw Arkiv's decisiveness.

"Done."

"One hundre.."

"Any more of that would be pushing your luck."

When the smuggler heard this, he shut his mouth and said.

"One hundred it is then, get ready in two days, I will take you from here."

"I have to tell you, I have some big case on my head and the bounty is also high, almost all the cities have me on their wanted list, you should be careful."

"Don't worry. I will definitely take you out of this place, even if you have killed an Imperial family member."

With that, Arkiv finally solved his problem. But he didn't know what kind of plight he would encounter in this journey.
