Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 419

Chapter 419 Tension

Outside the outpost of The Faceless Ones where Jasmine was being held, 6 members of the Congregation of Revelations were standing at the front door now.

Among these people were two males and four females, with 3 Mages and 3 Acolytes.n.(o/.V)-e((L.)b//I./n

They were all dressed according to their position in the Congregation of Revelation. Still, they all had serious expressions on their faces.

The Congregation of Revelation wasn't a force that was constantly involved in situations on the continent. They especially didn't show themselves much outside their temples.

They spent most of their time preaching about their magic path of light, how mana was blessed, how everyone should work toward the summit to help their fellows, and so on.

The Congregation of Revelations had wonderful messages and usually helped society, either with the daily Awakenings that took place in their temples or with actions that benefited the magic community.

If there were hidden motives behind this organization's good deeds, few knew it, and it wasn't the kind of talk one would hear on the continent.

For this very reason, it was bizarre to see members of this organization moving around in the light of day on an official mission.

Fights between its members or even between its members and people from other organizations took place only in the shadows, discreet places, and so on. Very rarely would one see a member of the Congregation of Revelation fighting or pressuring people while acting on behalf of their temple.

When this did happen, it was usually in connection with grave matters, such as the actions of Dark Path magicians against ordinary people.

In theory, it was the royal army's job to ensure the safety of the people in their territory. But when it came to Dark Path magicians, the most reliable and suitable were the members of the Congregation of Revelation.

Soldiers from the kingdom would naturally take action if a Dark Path magician started a bloodbath in a city within the kingdom. But even if the royal army took action, they would seek the help of the Congregation of Revelation to solve the problem.

There were other situations in which this organization might become involved and act publicly, but all of them were very serious, the kind that would cause ordinary people to turn away just to see members of this force acting publicly against something.

Vicente and other observers noticed the mood of the Congregation of Revelation members at the doors of The Faceless Ones and quickly understood the situation.

"All right, I'll send someone to investigate the situation further. Unfortunately, I'm not in the city. Otherwise, I would go there myself."

While the observers in the area were trying to understand or prepare for the situation with The Faceless Ones, the front door to the estate opened, and Nash appeared.

Seeing the Mid-level Mage temporarily in charge of the local temple, the leader of that faction smiled as he stopped in front of her, with two of his men a step behind him.

lightsnοvεl "Sacred Devotee Keen, to what do I owe this visit?" Nash asked the blonde woman in front of the group.

The woman didn't change her expression now that she was facing Nash and got right to the point. "We have a few questions for your group. I'm afraid some of your men have been involved in the deaths of members of the local temple."

"Impossible. My members would never do such a thing. And if something like that were to happen, it would be their individual decision, not mine. Such a thing would be taken seriously within my group. I would personally kill any bastard who thought dangerous things about the Congregation of Revelations!" He said in an irritated tone.

One of his men said. "This is the stuff of that bastard Cesar Mazzanti! Sacred Devotee Keen, do not be fooled by possible doctored evidence. Some people would benefit greatly from the local temple and army turning against us. Don't you find this all very suspicious?"

"Cesar Mazzanti? That Acolyte from Millfall?" One of the women in the group asked, knowing who this person was, as they had already investigated many things about the incident at The Vile Altar.

"That's the one." The other Mid-level Mage said. "But he's not an Acolyte anymore. The bastard recently became a Low-level Mage. You shouldn't underestimate him. He wants to overtake our group for financial reasons, so I suspect he's behind what you've been investigating, ladies."

Vicente heard this and narrowed his eyes, seeing that it was time for him to act, or many things could develop negatively for him.

This group of women would not deal with The Faceless Ones alone, so it was possible that they would investigate him if nothing prevented it.

'Time to take my chances!' He stood up before starting to move, using his ability to manipulate someone.

A moment later...

Swooish!

A person drew his weapon and charged at one of his opponents in front of The Faceless Ones' building!
