Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 959

Chapter 959 New Faction

Vicente thought about Larissa's proposal for a minute, wondering how far he could go with this woman he had just met a few days ago.

The problem for him wasn't trust. Situations in which two strangers had to start a business together were not uncommon in the cultivation world. Even more so, given the existence of mechanisms to certify promises. Agreements between strangers were not uncommon.

But he wanted to know more about her, her goals, who she had already talked to about this proposal, and even who she had worked with over the past eight months.

Unlike Vicente, who was new to everything in Anicane, Larissa had seen enough of the place to have trusted acquaintances, enemies and rivals.

"I think it's interesting. But where exactly are you going with this?" He started with the most important thing—her motives.

"Everything in Light Cay depends on stone coins. As leaders of our own faction, we get to keep most of the profits from the faction's actions. Existing factions and families get the best of any kind of activity that low-ranking members do. That's what I want first—resources." She got right to the point, but it was only the first step in her plans.

"But what I really want, what we all want, is power and influence," she said, looking him in the eye, not hiding her true ambitions. "I will not lie to you. I want to be in charge of Stonewall. To leave our 'island' and explore Anicane without worrying about my position.

As I told you, several people from my plane have come to Anicane, some of them close acquaintances whom I would like to see again..."

As she spoke, there was a sparkle in Larissa's eyes, her tone charged with energy and genuine desire.

She wasn't in love with Lothur Ritter, whom she most wanted to see again. She knew what the man was capable of and how beneficial it could be for her to be close to such a powerful and talented friend.

Lothur could be dead by now, but Larissa believed that wasn't the case. If she was right, he must be at least a high-ranking Grand Magus by now. And that alone would be enough for her to profit from meeting him again.

"I see. All right then. Let's do that." He looked back at Larissa as she stood and shook his dominant hand.

"Have you found anyone else for this faction? I imagine you've been in contact with many people in the last eight months." He walked out of the house with Larissa, who immediately wanted to go to the Registration Center.

She nodded approvingly as she carried a green bag, her artificial intelligence. "I have three names that we can bring into the faction in a short time. But I don't want to bring them over to our side right away. In fact, we'd better wait."

"Why?" He didn't understand.

"I've been recovering my cultivation for the past few months, so the contacts I've had access to are low-level Paragons and low-level Archmages at best. Apart from my superiors, I've hardly met any powerful members of the sect." She smiled bitterly at her situation.

"The names I have aren't that impressive. They're people who can join the faction, but it's better to have other names first. That way, they'll join us at a lower 'cost'."

Prisiche recommended to Vicente. "That is really best, master. As much as you can define the way the faction will work, it's normal for the first members to get bigger bonuses due to a tradition of seniority.

The first members of a faction must be of a high level, or at least very talented. Once you have a minimum number of members, you can recruit more people without having to pay absurd bonuses to low-level beginners."

Vicente was still not used to the reality of this place, so he accepted the recommendation of the two women who knew more about this sect.

They made their way to the Registration Center, talking about the faction and what they should do as soon as possible.

"You need 200,000 stone coins to register a new faction," said a woman in the given area for that.

Vicente's eyes widened when he heard it.
