Taking the Mafia to the Magic World C.775 Facts Discovered by Layla

After Vicente's words, Lauren followed behind him, unable to stop thinking about how he saw her as an immature young woman who needed to shout to the world that she was strong and should be respected.",

'Does he see me in this pathetic way? Fucking Vicente! You really enjoy teasing me! One day I'll teach you a lesson!' she thought to herself on the way to Vicente's next stop.

'I'm not what you think I am! Do you think I needed the help of those useless Nixlas' Shadows men? I saved my teammates several times! They were the ones who needed me!

What do you know about Nixlas' Shadows? You spent all this time having fun in the weak Seidel Kingdom. It was easy to grow up here!' She focused all her mana on Vicente, 'seeing' only him as she walked through the streets of Grandis.

As she thought this, people on the outskirts of the capital made way for Vicente to pass, many locals greeting him with signs of admiration or optimistic comments.

Some were expressing gratitude for his return, acknowledging the help he had already started providing to the community by aiding many warriors in their recovery.

The first people to say things like that to Vicente didn't catch Lauren's attention. But after four minutes of walking behind him, all the while listening to the locals' comments, she couldn't help but put her thoughts aside to pay attention to such reactions.

She couldn't see, but all her other senses were sharper than they would have been if she still had her sight. She could feel in their voices how happy they really were that Vicente was there.

Compared to the feeling people had always had towards her, people's reaction to Vicente seemed to be colorful, full of strange shapes, while the reaction to her had always been gray, with the same shapes.

She clenched her fists tighter as she felt this again, feeling as if she were walking behind a giant amid masses of bewitched people.

When Vicente arrived in front of the Awakening Temple, all the members of that post, who were still in the city, were lined up in the temple's steps to welcome Vicente.

"Welcome to the city, Altar Master!" Jasmine's father said while sweating, having already received information from Layla about what was going to happen.

Aware of Vicente's current power, that man would not stand in Vice's way of ending the Congregation of Revelations in Seidel Kingdom.

Vicente stopped in front of the 233 members of the temple, including Jasmine, who was still there, and Layla, who had chosen to stand next to her friend.

He looked for a second at several faces he already knew and announced. "From now on, the Congregation of Revelations will no longer be welcome in Seidel Kingdom. I see you've already made your choice, but I'm going to say it anyway. Those who do not join the Cataclysm Order will be abandoned outside the city.

Is there anyone here who doubts their choice?"

No one moved, while everyone there felt their hearts beating faster, sweat forming on their bodies, as they avoided looking at Vicente.

"Well, you've chosen well. Get ready to leave this post in 7 days. Layla is now in charge of your group." He showed the gray-haired woman, making everyone turn their attention to her.

With that said, he headed off to collect the Magic Gems from the Awakening Platform, with Jasmine and Layla following behind him and Lauren soon after.

...

"Vicente, what happened? Layla told me that your position towards my organization has changed, but I don't understand how. Why all this?" The pink-haired woman, an Earth Sovereign, asked with a shocked expression on her face.

Everyone at the local temple was thinking more or less the same as her. Vicente had left as an ally and now seemed to be an enemy of the temple.

Layla had had little time to explain Vicente's motives to them, so Jasmine and everyone else were very curious.

"The Congregation of Revelations caused all the current calamity on the continent, Jasmine. Are you aware that your organization can monitor most magicians who have awakened their powers within your temples? Did you know your leaders could sacrifice the lives of Dark Path magicians to become stronger? Did you know they had an agreement with the vampires?"

All this was fact now, not just theories. Layla had already found records of the Congregation of Revelations in Trevora Kingdom that talked about the generation of the Temple Master, who supposedly became a Magus, and then disappeared.

The organization had become much stronger in that era after the destruction of the Cataclysm Order, with many Paragons who had not advanced in cultivation for decades improving their strength very quickly at that time.

Something like this could only be possible through the technique created by the vampires, or by consuming the bodies of superior vampires with the cultivation of at least High-level Paragons.

This second possibility could not explain what had happened to these women's religion, since there were no magicians strong enough to deal with vampires like that. Even if there had been, in order to justify strengthening the organization at that time, the group would have had to have killed dozens of superior 5th stage vampires, which was irrational.

The only rational justification was that the Congregation of Revelations had got the vampire technique and sacrificed Dark Path magicians. By doing so, they had weakened the continent in the fight against the monsters and certainly had a secret deal with the vampires.

Listening to Vicente's questions, Jasmine didn't know what to say, since she knew nothing about it.

"That..." She looked at Layla, trying to get help from her friend.

"Sigh! Unfortunately, that's the truth. I'm very disappointed too, Jasmine. I wanted to prove otherwise, but everything I've found out so far leads us to these confirmations. Everything Vice said came true." The gray-haired woman sighed, no longer so willing to defend this corrupt organization.

"I can't believe it! Why would they do all this?" Jasmine exclaimed, feeling as if her belief was under its worst trial.

"Out of greed. To reach the 7th stage, what magicians wouldn't do? I won't judge the members of your faith, Jasmine. But I can't allow this organization to be in my domain either. So this is how things will be from now on, whether you like it or not." Vicente said firmly as he collected the Magic Gems from this post.
