Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

While Nova was doing her job of spreading the word about how harmful the Congregation of Revelations was to the continent, the men in the city who wanted to do business with Vicente learned of his return.",

As soon as they heard from Eve that Vicente had returned and was willing to do business with them, and as soon as they heard from her the order he would follow to build his weapons, virtually everyone moved to the Fuller estate.

Standing next to his younger sister, Vicente found over 30 people, most of them Sky Sovereigns but sLow-level Paragons as well, crowding around his door to speak with him.

He signaled one of his men to let these people into his estate, and soon he was sitting next to Nina in the living room of his mansion with these individuals, men and women, most of them standing around.

The Paragons sat in front of Vicente and Nina, each of them looking at the young Fuller as they sensed how powerful this young man already was.

They had heard that Vicente had only recently been a Low-level Paragon, but the young man had already advanced to Mid-level!

This was an impressive rate of progress!

At the current rate, Vicente would probably becan Archmage before he reached the age of 50, a feat unheard of in the Polaris Realm!

Considering how impressive his cultivation speed was, everyone there to greet and talk to him fell silent when Vicente signaled he wanted to speak.

"I am glad to see that my efforts in the central region have not gone unnoticed. My goal with those actions was to slow the flow of monsters to the south, but just the men in Trevora Kingdom and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn wouldn't be enough to help us in this crisis.

I will produce your weapons and armor, as Eve has already warned you. I hope I can count on you as allies from now on, but there's something else I can't ignore right now."

"What is it, Venerable Fuller?" One Paragon asked.

"The Congregation of Revelations." Vicente got right to the point, becoming much more solemn. "I think everyone here has heard that I'm reviving the Cataclysm Order, right?"

All the people nodded in agreement while remaining silent, waiting for his next words.

"Well, letclarify things. I am not against the Congregation of Revelation because I am reviving the Cataclysmic Order. I'm bringing the order back from the ashes because of the crimes committed by the temple members.

As we speak, letters are being sent to the major remaining forces in the southern and central regions of the continent, detailing the crimes of the Congregation of Revelation.

You'll find out when you return home, but let's get this out of the way. The Congregation of Revelations made a deal with the vampires millennia ago and obtained a technique..."

Vicente explained what he had confirmed by obtaining the copy of the technique in question after killing the members of the temple a few days ago, showing the men and women the reason for his position.

"... Because of these crimes, I cannot side with this organization. But after the recent attack on my person, I can no longer tolerate it.

They want to persist in their mistake and create more chaos on the continent out of greed. Hence, from now on, the temple will not only be unwelcin my domains, but I will consider it an enemy.

I expect the sfrom my allies, of course." Vicente said with a deep look on his face that echoed in the dark tone of his voice.

The men and women understood Vicente's position when they saw the proof that he had been attacked by the newly promoted Temple Master.

There in the living room were snatives of the Tamor Dynasty, the current headquarters of the Congregation of Revelations. When they saw sitems belonging to the man they had met in the dynasty's capital months ago, they confirmed the identity of the one who had tried to act against Vicente and Nova.

"Sigh! This is so unbelievable!"

"Yes, who would have thought that in the situation we're in, the leaders of the Congregation of Revelations would still try to turn against the hope of the continent?"

"They have always been fanatical about their goals and ideas. That's why I never liked them!"

"Attacking Venerable Fuller is the sas attacking the magicians' community and fighting against the survival of the race. We should ban temples in all our states!"

"The problem with that is, how are we going to bring about the Awakening of our juniors?"

Vicente presented the solution. "Like I said, I'm reactivating the Cataclysm Order. I have Awakening Altars in the Kenyth Empire, Chutha Dynasty, Trevora Kingdom, Kingdom of Eternal Dawn, the Andoria Kingdom, and two other areas.

I'm already activating Awakenings in sof these posts daily. As soon as I resolve the situation in Scott Province, I'll get the Chutha Dynasty and the Kenyth Empire posts up and running.

At least sof you will count on my altars in a few months."

"Do you have any plans to expand westward?" A native of the Tamor Dynasty asked.

"I still have to plan my future moves, but I will definitely open order's posts in all states of the southern region and also create new ones in the states where we are already present." Vicente nodded affirmatively.

For now, he was just taking advantage of the existing infrastructure. But as his plans cto fruition, and the situation stabilized a bit for part of the community, he intended to move forward and build new posts in the region's major cities.

Relying on one post in each state was not sustainable in the long run!

The men and women there understood Vicente's position and agreed to remove the temple from their cities as Vice's plans developed.

Vicente understood the side of these groups, so he didn't ask for anything absurd right away.

At the end of this meeting of the allies, they would have something more to add to the agreements they would sign with Vicente starting tomorrow, after they had even talked about the Dark Path sects that were allied with the vampires.

They planned to crack down on these groups and only accept Dark Path magicians in their cities if they were members of the Cataclysm Order!
