The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1198 Fishing Time 3

With Minos' last words on the subject, his three wives soon became more profound as they began to prepare to deal with the enemy.

Their suspicions, the coincidences, and the strange behavior of part of the Vogel family were not proof of its guilt. At least, this would not be enough for the Spiritual Church to send an extermination group and free Minos of these opponents.

,m But they could not just leave this place without doing anything about it, waiting for the will of the enemy or the insecurity of ignorance.

Perhaps those who had sent Spiritual Saints to the Black Plain had given up on the idea for good. Or maybe that was temporary. But, one way or another, knowing nothing was a massive risk for Minos and the Black Plain!

The truth could get them into trouble, but with the knowledge of reality, they could at least act to try to control their destiny.

With ignorance, they would be like people lost in the middle of a desert during a storm. Where they would end up would depend on what fate chose, which was no different from gambling one's life!

But in the view of Minos and his wives, only a fool goes where the winds take them!

They would rather have a hard time but be in control of the situation than an easy time when they would not know whether they would be on the edge of a cliff or in the middle of the valley.

And as such, they would instead act against the target they had been watching!

"So what do we do now?" Abby asked as she sipped some tea.

"We'll follow him after he leaves this store. We'll knock him out and interrogate him in an empty nearby building." Minos said so that only the people at their table could hear.

"What about our 'friends'?" Gloria asked. "There is a Spiritual Saint among them. I don't think we'll be able to fool that person."

Ruth then said. "These people are cautious... They put someone at level 70, with two level 69 cultivators to watch people of our level."

Abby smiled from under her mask and commented. "That's probably on Gloria's account. They want enough strength to act against us in case of need..."

"But it's a lot of power just to keep an eye on us."

Minos then said before answering Gloria's question. "Someone from the local branch of the Church has probably already sold information about me. So, those people are good for that too... But anyway, they are certainly more concerned about Gloria."

"In any case, we have no choice but to see what they will do in that situation." He looked briefly outside that establishment. "We truly won't be able to fool them, and we won't just give up our plans."

"But will they act? If so, we won't need much to convince the Church headquarters anymore." He slowly commented as he brought a cup of tea close to his mouth.

"And in the negative case? What if they do nothing?" Ruth asked.

"Impossible!" Minos said. "They are watching us and will act in case of need. And since this family probably thinks they can destroy us without a trace using just those three, I'm sure they won't hesitate."

"Makes sense..."

When Ruth commented on that, their target finally got up and left that store after paying for what he had consumed.

Seeing that, the people in Minos' group also moved, leaving the medium-grade crystals as payment for what they had consumed, and headed for the exit of that establishment.

As they walked along the central sidewalks of this capital city, following the same path as their target, their enemies were also moving.

"Where are they going now?" One of the two Spiritual Emperors asked as they followed above the buildings in that area.

"From what we've seen in the last two days, they're going to go to Sector 23 and then return to the Spiritual Church temple." The Spiritual Saint commented as he had a calm look on his face.

'So far, they don't seem to progress in their investigations or whatever they are doing here.' So he thought as he looked intently at the group of four people who were almost to the place from where they usually returned to the local temple.

"Oh? They're not returning!" The other Spiritual Emperor exclaimed, already a little more excited to see something different happening.

It was boring to chase someone who followed the same routine every day. So when people in the position of these three were watching someone's tracks, they would cheer for such individuals to do things differently than usual.

And with that, upon noticing the change in the routine of those four, these three individuals soon increased their speeds and attention to their targets.

As they did this for about five minutes, the Spiritual Saint finally realized that Minos' group was not just making a simple course change!

"That person..." He looked in the direction of someone who seemed to have been ahead of Minos' group for the entire time since the four left the previous tea store.

"They're chasing that person! And that individual works in the area of His Highness's office!" He exclaimed to his companions as his heart began to beat faster.

"What do they want? Why are they doing this?" One Spiritual Emperor asked the other, as they still watched and chased Minos' group.

Unlike the Spiritual Saint who was there with them, these two did not know of Abe's plans, of what this local heir had done in the recent past. As such, they did not feel the same nervousness as this expert, who was aware of what could happen to the entire royal family in case Abe's orders were discovered!

He was not nervous because the Spiritual Emperor, Minos, and his wives were pursuing, had some crucial information. Such a person did not, since all the Spiritual Emperors with information of the kind had already died in 'accidents.'

Only Spiritual Saints like this one had not experienced the same, as they were less numerous, more powerful, and family-relevant individuals.

What scared this Spiritual Saint was the possibility that Minos and those women were suspicious of the Vogel family!

It would only take one high-level Spiritual Saint from the Church to investigate them closely for everything to go from bad to worse and for the end of them all to come!

As such, this man could not help but break into a cold sweat at this critical moment, remembering Abe's orders for him to get rid of these people in case the worst unfolds.

And just at this challenging moment for him, when he needed to make a decision that could not be reversed later, Minos and his wives acted!

When they were close to a little crowded area, Minos and his wives ran towards that man while his body slowly fell to the ground.

Minos knocked out this level 66 Spiritual Emperor with a single mental attack and promptly acted alongside his wives to 'rescue' this citizen 'falling ill.'
