Chapter 153 The Attacks Begin?
Arriving at his second mansion in Millfall, where his men were working, Vicente attracted the attention of the observers in the area and his own men.
"Boss? What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming back until the group was better prepared!" Asked one of the level 1 Acolytes standing by in the building, his heart beating faster at Vice's early return.
He and everyone else there knew that the moment Vicente reappeared in Millfall, assassins and the royal army itself would appear on the outskirts to deal with him.
From that moment on, it would be kill or be killed!
Still unprepared for this threat, the group couldn't help but be nervous about this plan change.
Vicente knew and quickly explained to his men. "I had no choice. One of the assassins just acted against me."
Without knowing if there were more people with that man or even if others weren't watching that individual, Vice couldn't take any chances. If he returned home or continued with his identity as Vicente Fuller, he could risk endangering his sister.
Of course, there was the possibility that someone already knew about him and was keeping an eye on Nina. But in Vicente's mind, if that happened, he would still have to come to this place because trying to get close to her would only lead to more danger for Nina.
Whether he liked it or not, the best course of action was to return to his identity as Cesar and pray that no one would act against Nina.
His hands were tied!
On the other hand, by doing so, he could protect his identity from his enemies if only that dead enemy had found out about him.
As long as he held out for two days like Cesar, Casey would complete his mission in Martell Village, and the chances of anyone discovering anything compromising about him would decrease significantly.
"So what do we do now, boss?" One of the men asked in a cold sweat.
Vicente was direct. "Bring your weapons. I can't upgrade them to my limit for lack of materials, but I'll be able to increase their efficiency a bit.
Get ready. We're going to have big problems in the next few hours. Assassins will surely attack this place. Even if I go out to fend off some enemies, you'll still have to deal with several groups."
Gulp!
"How are our forces?" Vice asked since he hadn't been updated for about three days.
"There are no more Junior Apprentices in our group. Twenty of our men are currently Intermediate Apprentices, and twenty-eight are Senior Apprentices. As for Acolytes, we have eleven of them, not counting the four mercenary Generals." A short, bald, middle-aged man said to Vicente.
While having the protection of the Scarlet Syndicate to operate in this eastern area of Millfall, Vicente's group had made profits and used those resources to help his men raise their levels.
Even some of Vicente's profits from his partnership in Martell Village had contributed to this, as had the coins from the Peters family.
Even though they were under pressure from various groups, they were growing and improving their strength with their increasing resources!
"Good. This will help us withstand enemy attacks." Vicente commented as he walked to the training area of this estate, where he wanted to upgrade some of his group's items.
