Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Everyone in the room became silent. They didnʼt expect Giyon would be daring enough to talk to the Clan head directly like that. They didnʼt even know how to reply to that, because that is true. In fact, they wanted to hold a meeting regarding that, but not to give her the title, but for something different entirely.

The person in charge of the finances of the clan cleared his throat and asked.

”Giyon, there is something wrong with the financial reports you submitted.”

”What is that?” Giyon asked with a raised eyebrow.

”You havenʼt submitted all the earnings you made with your businesses. After all, according to the clan rules, for any business that was set up with the help of the clan, the clan would hold the bigger share, but from what I learned through inquiry, you only submitted thirty percent of the profits.”

As soon as he was done, everyone took in a cold breath. Just thirty percent of her profits are more than what everyone else paid to the clan combined, they couldnʼt help but wonder what would the money be if she gave up everything.

Giyon looked at him with a smile and said.

”It seems like your reports are wrong sir. The percentage I gave up I not thirty and only twenty-five and that is because the businesses are not helped and funded by the clan. Every single business you are seeing has been funded by my own money and is established by my own contacts. I didnʼt use the clanʼs name to register the business in any of the realms and the clan is getting twenty-five percent because I am taking the raw materials from the clan.

That is the only contribution of the clan and twenty-five percent I gave you amounted to twenty times the market price of those raw materials.

So, essentially I am giving you a lot even though I didnʼt take any of Clanʼs help.”

The elder incharge of the financials was not pleased by this. He looked at her with a frown and then at the elder in charge of the clanʼs materials and resources and he nodded.

”If you are taking clanʼs resources and giving the money, then it is just buying from the clan, that doesnʼt count as your contribution.”

Mingiv spoke through gritted teeth.

”Oh, okay then. I would terminate the contract with the clan and I will get the resources from elsewhere. It is not like I am collecting the rarest of the resources, they are available even in the small organizations that are under the clan and the local organizations I am conducting business with. I would also save some money for myself.”

Giyon spoke and was about to get up, but Clanʼs head cleared his throat and said.

”We are here for a different reason. Giyon, just sit down.”

Giyon grinned at the elders and Mingiv before sitting down. Everyone else was stunned. This is essentially the head of the clan supporting Giyonʼs position on the main table.

”Can we talk about the real problem here? Elder, do you want to speak now?” Clanʼs head asked.

Migronʼs father stood up as soon as Clanʼs head finished his words and his wife stood up along with him even though she sat behind him.

Before they could speak, Giyon placed a recording crystal on the table recording the whole meeting, but no one objected to her this time, because some other people also did the same.

Migronʼs father took a deep breath and started speaking.

”My son, Migron has been kidnapped yesterday and his life is in danger. The kidnapper made contact today and he wants to get some information from one of us. If that person is willing to give up that information my son will be saved.”

Everyone in the room was confused and before the elder could continue, one of the youngsters spoke out.

”Elder, you are saying that a young master from the Gaja clan was kidnapped and the only solution you could think of is giving what the kidnapper wanted?

Donʼt you know how ridiculous that sounds?

We own two dozen realms and hundreds of millions of people bow before us and in a few dozen realms the rulers drop down to their knees just from hearing our name and someone was kidnapped from us and all you could think of is asking the information from another member of the clan? What are you even thinking?”

Everyone looked at the elder. They didnʼt even rebuke the youngster for speaking out of his turn, because those are the same thoughts the rest of them had and they are not exactly pleased by the way the elder is handling the things.

Migronʼs mother looked at the youngster hatefully and said.

”Can you at least wait till my husband made his case completely?”

”We also felt insulted and humiliated by what happened, but that is what happened. Migron sneaked away from his guards to catch a breather in his private estate outside of the clan grounds and the kidnapper took him away from there.

We donʼt know who he is and what he is capable of, but he is powerful and he doesnʼt care about the clanʼs reputation. We believe he is being backed up by the Mari clan which makes this the issue of the whole clan. So, if the person gives up a small piece of information, we would be able to save my son.”

”Who is the person you are talking about?”

Another Elder asked and Migronʼs parents immediately looked at Grivon.

Grivon couldnʼt help but sigh and Giyon rolled her eyes in annoyance.

”Do you want me to handle it?” Giyon asked in a whisper.

Grivon took a deep breath and said.

”Donʼt worry Sister Giyon I will take care of this.”

Grivon stood up and asked MIgronʼs parents.

”Are you saying that I should give up some information that would save your son from a kidnapper?”

”Yes.”

”Hmm. Letʼs set aside the question of why I should give the information for a second even if I have it. I need to ask some questions first.”

The clan head nodded his head giving his permission.

”Where has Migron being for the past week?”

”He was at many places. How is that even relevant?”

”You seemed to have forgotten my uncle. It is extremely relevant. From the past week, you and your son kept on asking me about something and that is also related to the information I supposedly have in your opinion. Why did you and your son ask me these questions?”

”We donʼt know what you are talking about? We didnʼt meet the whole week, except for the occasional crossing paths in the clan grounds.”

Migronʼs mother immediately denied everything.

Grivon smiled and took out a recording device and threw it onto the main table.

”I really didnʼt want to record this, but it is hard to get Migron in that groveling state, so I recorded it for my own amusement. So, let me ask you, why is the information he constantly kept on asking me the whole week when I am constantly saying that I donʼt have any idea what he was talking about suddenly became very important that someone kidnapped him.

By any chance, did he really know beforehand that a crisis is coming and asked me this information?”

An elder played the video and in the video, it was clearly shown that Migron was just short of begging Grivon.

The whole room turned to MIgronʼs parents in askance.

As the elder was about to speak on his wifeʼs cue, suddenly Giyon spoke up.

”Before you answer, elder. Think properly. If you already knew there is a crisis coming for your son, you should have at least informed the clan earlier, our Investigative department is top-notch and they would have found the person that might have threatened him. So, what are your intentions for hiding this information until now?”

Migronʼs parents couldnʼt help but feel tongue-tied.

As they were delaying their response, Grivon immediately spoke to the Clan head.

”I know why they are doing this. I will tell you the whole story.

A few days ago, I got some information from a friend of mine that an organization that was under the control of one of the young masters of the Mari clan was being crumbled from inside.

It became corrupt because the young master wasnʼt able to give enough attention to that organization because that is his personal secret organization. So, I wanted to go against it and take it over to be my personal organization, but it was too far away from my influence and I had to find a partner and only Migron has some influence in that area.

I went to him with that piece of information and he went behind my back and wanted to take over the organization as a whole, but I interfered and only managed to gain one planet as an exchange for the information I gave him.

But only after poking it did he realize that there is some problem there and he now wants me to give up the friend that got me the information. I didnʼt want to sell my friend out and refused. Now, suddenly the young master Migron.

The young master of the Gaja clan with his father being the senior elder and her mother being the former heiress of an organization that is just a step behind ours was kidnapped and this piece of information has become the only way to get him out.

Please tell me, that you also see the irony in this situation.”
