The Rise of the Black Plain

Days later...

After resolving the previous issues about his new position in the Gray Clouds Sect, Minos and his family quickly returned to Dry City.

In just a little over two days, they were already in the capital of the Black Plain Empire, where they were promptly updated on the local situation regarding Abe's terrorist group.

But nothing out of the ordinary had happened in the period of less than a week that had passed from their departure to this moment. Of course, attacks on essential posts of the local forces had happened, but nothing out of proportion to what Minos and his people expected had happened.

This state did not feel their absence, and in a short time, their group was informed about everything they should know.

They also shared their accomplishments in the Flaming Empire with the upper echelon of the local nobility and the Black Plain Army so their forces could better prepare for the future.

Minos gave new orders to his forces, this time to slow down the pace of actions against Abe's terrorist group. His goal was to wait for the resolution of the situation in the Flaming Empire, something that, with his help, could happen in a matter of weeks.

As long as that war between sects was over, Minos could bring significant reinforcements to his state, which, in his opinion, could solve the current problems.

Even if their group could not fully deal with the mercenaries hired by Abe, they would be able to protect the critical points of the Black Plain Empire. And with that, even with that guy from the Vogel family bothering them, they would grow such a state again.

With that growth, eventually, Minos knew he could end the life of the wretch who had been hindering him for so long!

...

"So we're already going to attack the Saints Killing Sect?" Gavin asked in surprise, not expecting it to happen so soon.

He had expected such a thing to take another 2 or 3 years, considering the time frame Minos had told him earlier. So, upon hearing from Emperor Stuart that they would begin to engage against that sect immediately, Gavin was somewhat shocked.

"That's because of the current situation caused by these terrorists..." Minos quickly explained to this Spiritual Saint his plans to use the Gray Clouds Sect to resolve the situation in his state.

Upon hearing the basics of Emperor Stuart's plans, the native of the Flaming Empire understood this person's motivations in advancing their plans. "Then we will return later to finalize those matters? Or do you intend to forget your grudge against that organization?" He asked, feeling a little irritated.

Minos had told Gavin to stay on the Black Plain and that one day, he could accompany the forces of such territory in a fight to destroy the Saints Killing Sect. Thus, this fellow could not help but consider the possibility Emperor Stuart had changed his mind now as the master of that other sect of the Flaming Empire.

Minos would now have to follow some rules of the imperial family of that state when acting through the Gray Clouds Sect, so this could complicate his revenge.

But Minos then said. "We won't give up anything. I will only make the Gray Clouds Sect win this war without us exterminating their old rival organization. But in the future, when we are ready, we will do as previously planned."

"Is that so?" That red-haired fellow asked while standing next to Minos near a small artificial lake in front of the imperial palace in Dry City.

Minos kept looking at the reflection of the orange sky in the water mirror and said. "Of course. But you can join the battle now or in the future. It will be up to your judgment."

Upon hearing this, Gavin was not interested in joining the current confrontation, figuring it would only offer his position while his opponents could still act against him.

After thinking about it, he decided to wait for the future attack of Minos' forces on the Saints Killing Sect!

"I only ask that you do me the honor of taking this person's life..." Gavin showed the portrait of a middle-aged man who was supposed to be his father!

Minos saw that and agreed. "Fine. If that person is on any battlefield I fight, I will not use my forces against him. But I can't do anything for you if he is already dead or if someone kills him on one of those occasions."

"Fine by me." This fellow said as he turned and left, quickly leaving that area as he thought of his revenge.

'You will pay for coveting your own son's powers!' Gavin thought about it angrily, visualizing the day he could end the life of this great enemy of his.

He could understand the motives of the sect master, a man who was not closely related to him and could even kill his own son over a woman. So Gavin had expected Mortimer to act against him because of his Eyes of Destruction.

But his own father doing this was an exaggeration for him, something that made him hate that man more than anything in this world!

Hence, he wished to deal with that person on his own!

'The day will come when I finish that family's cursed branch!'

Minos understood what was in Gavin's heart, as he had run after revenge on more than one occasion.

Since he was all in favor of cleaning his hatred with the blood of his enemies, Minos nodded in the direction from which Gavin departed. He sensed that such a fellow would be quite a soldier in the future.

'Revenge doesn't solve anyone's problems, it doesn't bring loved ones back, nor does it make the soul peaceful. But it does eliminate from the world those who have already harmed us in some way...' Minos pondered the truth about revenge.

"It's really nice to live in a world where those bugs are no longer around to annoy us!" He clenched his fists, imagining ending the life of Abe Vogel.

'Just wait, you bastard. The day will come when you will tremble in fear in front of me and pay for all your crimes!' Emperor Stuart thought about this as he walked toward his palace.

But as he passed through that area where only the wealthiest, most powerful, and influential of the Black Plain had access, some individuals known to Minos approached him in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, we have matters to discuss." One of those representatives of the three enemy kingdoms of the Flaming Empire and the Assembly of Vogel said this, recalling the news from that great state.

Upon hearing this, Minos turned to these people, who had uncertain expressions on their faces, knowing that this was about his ascension as master of the Gray Clouds Sect.

But he did not stop walking towards his palace and just said. "I know you are unsure about my rise to power in that organization. But this is for the greater good of the Black Plain. So our relations will not be complicated as you think."

"No? How not?" Lulu asked him in an indignant tone that showed how betrayed she felt by him.
