Chapter 1296 - Butlers Suggestion

Sivan's hysterical episode ended with him fainting because of the exhaustion. He exhausted all of his energy and almost destroyed the entire estate if not for Butler Si constraining his attacks.

After he was out, Butler Si carried him back to the clan and let him rest for a while, and when he woke up, he is a lot calmer.

"I am sorry for troubling you, Butler Si. I was just angry at my incompetence."

"Never mind young master. I can understand your pain. But if the young master doesn't mind, I have a suggestion."

"Come on. Butler Si, you don't have to ask me permission for that. You have the right."

"Thank you, young master. I think that you are not angry at your incompetence, you are just angry at someone's competence."

"What do you mean?"

"Young master, this person named Sam… he is not normal. You are not actually familiar with the outside life as much as you are with the politics of a large organization, so I will try to explain this to you, please don't take offense. 

In the world where Sam lived, no matter how much talent he has, he shouldn't have survived at all. He never had any organizational backing like Dayus or other people that he mentioned, he never had extreme financial support that was not earned by him.

He created everything from the scratch. Even if the talented body with all the bloodlines and the abilities he has is a god's gift, they attract more envy and trouble than advantages they provide.

But he still managed to survive.  I was from a planet like that and I know how difficult it is to grow from there. But he did that.

He just didn't grow, he created a large organization that baffles even me.

His mind is something that works beyond what you and I can fathom. You must have thought that his achievements and gains are all from the body and the resources he had. No, it is the mind that is valuable. It is his brain that created all of this. You have seen his soul. You are seeing it every day. You should understand this by now. He is just a different creature in terms of mindset.

You should be gauging him differently. You shouldn't compare him to you or anyone else for that matter.

You should estimate him differently.

Do not think of him as your opponent, think of him as a hunting target. Prey that is stronger than yourself. You should stalk it, try to understand it, analyze its actions, predict its moves, estimate its weakness, you should slowly wear it down and hunt it.

You shouldn't just hope that he is weaker than you and way less incompetent than you. That doesn't magically happen. You are intelligent and ruthless, that was enough for all the enemies and obstacles you have destroyed, but that is not enough for you to go against him.

You should have patience. If I am not wrong, he is the greatest enemy you will ever face. Even your clan members and rivals will not be able to compare to him and any enemy you might face in the future would also come shortly.

Keep that in mind, when you try to deal with him. Please."

Sivan looked at Butler Si and asked.

"Butler Si, are you telling me that I am not as good as Sam? If he is smarter than me, why did he fall into my trap."

"Young master, please do not take offense, but it is better to accept the truth than to live in denial and suffer than like this. 

You were a person that accepted your own shortcomings when you were a cripple. Because at that time those missing limbs helped you process your own shortcomings, you didn't even have a chance to deny them, maybe that is because you never saw the shortcomings your own mentality and your incompetent peers and competitors might be the reason for that.

But just because you got a better and superior body, that doesn't mean your shortcomings will vanish. Only once did you accept them would you be able to guard against them. I will leave you alone for a while to think things through."

With those words, he left the room.

Sivan felt troubled. He didn't have a single day of peace after he entered Sam's body. Sam's dormant soul is completely out of his reach all this while and the ghost chimera is giving its own body up to save Sam's soul.

He knew that he would eventually reach the soul, but he is really frustrated. Particularly, when he guessed that Sam not only digested his soul but also destroyed some of his foundational organizations, he felt even angrier.

Now that Butler Si, directly said it out, he understood what his problem is, he is competing with Sam even though both of them are currently not connected at all.

Sam might not even understand or know what he is thinking at all, but he is constantly comparing himself to Sam. He calmed down and called Butler Si back.

"I want you to deal with everything related to Sam, until it was done, you are in charge of the businesses as well. Even if they are all destroyed and I lost everything, do not inform me.

I will be in long seclusion. I will not be involved in this. I will focus on Sam's soul, from what I heard, he has many inventions, I will be in contact with the research division and I will see what I can gain.

You don't talk to me about Sam and the business until the whole matter is resolved or you are completely incapable of resolving the issue."

"That is a good decision young master. I will try my best to resolve the issue."

With that Butler Si once again left and took out a special communication token. This is created by him and can only be used by him.

"Come to the clan."

That was the only message he gave and within an hour, ten people in grey robes arrived at the clan. The guards and the gatekeepers were all frightened when they saw them. Everyone in the clan knows who Butler Si is and everyone who knows butler Si knows these ten people.

They are his students and all of them are space element users. These ten people are only summoned when Butler Si is angry or when the young master Sivan wants to remove someone off the earth. They are scarily good.

They arrived at Sivan's quarters without any interruption.

"Greetings Master." They saluted Butler Si politely in unison.

"I have a task for you. Someone is bothering Young Master Sivan…"

He gave a briefing regarding Sam and what the current situation is.

"Young Master Sivan already sent someone at Peak stage Transcendence to deal with him, but if my guess is right, he wouldn't be able to finish the task.

So, send someone to follow him and scout him first.

He is extremely talented in battle and he is very very intelligent. Estimate that he is smarter than me by three times at least before you deal with him. Understand?"

"Yes, Master."

The group saluted once again and they left.

Sivan looked at their receding backs in melancholy. He has a feeling that he wouldn't be able to see some of his students again, but he knew that this is the only way. If he sends anyone less skilled, they wouldn't come back for sure. With his students, he still has a chance.

If possible, he would have moved by himself, but he is currently in a state in which he cannot leave the young master's side no matter what.

He really hoped that what he taught to his students was enough to deal with Sam.

While Sivan and Butler Si are worrying over Sam constantly and make plans to deal with him, Sam is currently walking out of a valley.

The valley is filled with dead bodies and blood.

He just finished off another small branch under Sivan.

He is soaked in blood.

After coming out of the valley, he went to the nearest stream and started washing up.

"Now, the message must have been sent. I wonder what they would be bringing towards me."

He muttered to himself as he thought of the possible actions that Sivan might take to go against him.

He came out of the stream and dried himself up before taking out a large scroll in which he wrote down the organizations and created a flow chart.

Even though it is all in the head, it helps him to take a look once in a while.

As he looked through them, he crossed off the recently destroyed organization and then rounded up two more.

"He must have noticed that I am in the middle of dealing with this organization, so these two places might be the plausible locations they identified. I better make it easy for them to come to me.. I am getting bored."
