Chapter ?1130 Solving Problems

Hearing her mother's voice, Gloria smiled over this final part of Margot and Minos' agreement, even considering her doubt about whether he could keep his lines.

"Minos..." She said in a low voice before kissing him in front of all those people.

"Mmmm~"

Margot closed her eyes at seeing that, while Maisie did not find it interesting to see her son acting so intimately with one of his women in front of her.

'He's like that fellow...' Margot remembered how Oswald was in the past.

Before she had met Gloria's father, she had been courted by Oswald. But since that fellow was womanizing, Margot had never paid any attention to him, even considering that he was a bit more impressive than her future husband.

'Sigh... What a disappointment. My daughter has fallen into the grips of a man like him.'

After parting their lips, Minos and Gloria looked at each other momentarily, his gaze calming the doubts in her heart. Then, he looked at Margot and said. "Mother-in-law, you can take care of the spiritual judge. So, when you have everything ready, come and see me. We will sign that agreement at that time."

She looked at Minos as if something was wrong there. 'Why do I feel as if I am working for him?'

"All right, I'll take care of this right away." She walked towards the o the exit of that place, intending not to give even a single day more for Minos to have a better chance of succeeding in that bet.

But then she was stopped by that man's voice. "There is also the matter of that Albano organization that acted against my region. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

She turned around and asked. "Hand me your evidence, and if everything is OK, the Church will deal with that organization."

"Well, I will hand you the testimony of the three people I captured. Come to my royal hall in two or three hours, and we will settle this."

After those words, Margot disappeared from that place, finally lowering the tension of the people there.

"Minos, you should not have promised such a thing. What if you can't move forward in that period?" Maisie said as she came closer to him and concernedly looked at him.

Gloria nodded and said. "I think we could have pursued a less difficult alternative..."

Minos ignored his mother and said to Gloria. "Don't worry. I don't make bets I can lose. Don't you remember anything like that, dear?"

Gloria blushed as she remembered that Minos had tricked her.

"I don't know if the Church will lose anything, but I will definitely win. And since you are my wife, the same will be true for you."

"Oh?"

He then whispered in one of her ears. "You, Abby, Ruth, and I will rule this continent one day. The Spiritual Church will be our means of doing that..."

She opened her eyes in surprise at this bold goal of Minos. But she said nothing to him. 'At this rate, won't our child be the most powerful person in the world? It seems you want to build quite a future for our family...' She laughed in her mind.

Minos turned to his mother and asked in a serious tone. "What's this talk about me being the heir to your sect? Was that to get Gloria's mother away from her original ideas?"

Maisie negatively shook her head. "Your grandfather wants you to replace him, and I agree. He will propose it to you when you go to the empire."

The logical side of Minos told him that he should use this to his advantage, but his problems with his mother prevented him from liking this option. "I'm not interested."

"But..." Maisie watched her son return to the seat he was sitting in earlier with Gloria and his wives. 'I'd better let this matter rest for the moment. I will talk to him again when he goes to the empire.' She was silent, listening to the people in that place returning to their conversations and also eating.

"Minos, you are brilliant..." Elena winked at him, finding it interesting how he had defeated a level 77 person.

Minos chuckled back at her, giving her a brief wink.

"Why do you two look so confident?" Gloria asked as she observed that Abby and Ruth, who loved him as much as she did, did not seem worried.

Abby then replied with a smile. "Because Minos will become a Spiritual Saint in that period."

"We all will..." Minos massaged his women's backs while Gloria was on his lap, just like earlier. "You will understand this after I sign an agreement with your mother, Gloria."

"All right." She commented, eager to find out the truth about him. After that, she went back to eating with her man and harem sisters, satisfied that things were going well for her new family.

Maisie watched all this in silence and finally remembered what she had come to do in this place. "My son, you said you were almost killed by a Spiritual Saint yesterday? Were you serious? What happened?"

"It's true. I didn't lie to keep my mother-in-law away." He said as he ate his breakfast. "But he is no longer a problem for us. He won't be back anytime soon..." He did not go into details so as not to alert the wrong people about the fact that he could kill someone at that level using all his strength and a little luck.

And with his words, his mother and Gloria were not only fooled, but almost everyone in that room was too. Only Abby, Ruth, and Dillian knew that such a Spiritual Saint had been killed.

With that, Minos' friends and the supreme elder Miller next to Abby's parents could not help but be worried about the future. The level of fighting on the Black Plain was increasing fast!

Maisie narrowed her eyes as she tried to imagine how her son had escaped. She clenched her fists and then said. "I don't know if I can help you, but I'll stick around while the Church advances this matter. Maybe they can work it all out with these Spiritual Emperors you spoke of..."

"Do whatever you want..." Minos commented to his mother without looking at her.

"In any case, I suspect who might be behind this." She said.

"Who?" He looked into his mother's eyes for the first time on this occasion.

"Someone from the Vogel family."

"Vogel? From the neighboring state to the south of the Cromwell Kingdom?" Ruth asked.

"Yes, some low-level Spiritual Saints from that organization have had their whereabouts unknown in recent years." She commented on her suspicion. "But that's not common, especially since these newly advanced people usually gain status promotion and start developing their families, etc."

"It is also common that when a new expert ascends, an older one has the opportunity to enter seclusion."

That was how great families and sects worked.

Suppose there was a level 70 Spiritual Saint who took care of a family's treasury. Then until the rise of a new cultivator of that level, he would have to focus his time on that work, not being able to go into seclusion for a few years to get stronger.

But then, someone in the organization would break the barrier from the 7th to the 8th stage, and a shift exchange would occur, making it possible for the senior to enter seclusion.

In this way, these big organizations could maintain their defenses and operations and still have a chance to grow stronger!

Because of this, Maisie had been suspicious of the Vogel family since mere newly promoted subordinates had no way of having the privilege of not replacing seniors.

"Vogel family, huh?" Minos considered this information, saving it in his mind to investigate such a thing in the future.

Gloria then asked, with fire in her eyes. "Will we be able to get any proof of your suspicions? Only then will the Church be able to take action against this family."

Maisie negatively shook her head. "If I had, I would have already turned it over to the Temple of Payton in the empire..."

Minos commented. "It doesn't matter. Now that we have a place to look, it will be easier to find the real person responsible for these attacks."

"Hmmm." Minos' wives nodded in agreement, pleased with Maisie's hint.

Ruth then commented. "But it makes more sense that the enemy is not from Albano."

"Oh?" Abby exclaimed.

"Vogel and Albano are the least friendly states to each other in the alliance of the four states north of the Flaming Empire. And since it makes more sense not to use your state to plot something forbidden, it makes sense that our enemy is from another state."
