Chapter 184 Cesar\'s Great Interests?

In theory, Cesar couldn\'t attack the Symons family because that would be a violation that would get him into trouble with the kingdom. But if the Symons family moved against him first, everything would change.

But Marcus found it absurd that a Viscount\'s family would have to go out of its way to punish an enemy who wasn\'t even noble or had powerful backers.

"We will not attack him. I want to talk to the bastard and demand an explanation for what he did to me." Marcus said, smiling confidently. "I want to test the son of a bitch and maybe find one of his weaknesses! And he can\'t attack us either, or we\'d have a justification to take action against him!"

Theoretically, the Symons family couldn\'t use what happened outside Millfall a few days ago to act within the law against Cesar.

After Nova\'s testimony that Cesar had only been defending himself and the main enemy of the royal force group that night had been beasts, Marcus couldn\'t use Cesar\'s previous persecution and attacks to justify acting inside Millfall.

Of course, he could act against Cesar as he wished outside the city, for the kingdom\'s laws applied only in the cities.

As much as one could seek justice for what happened outside the cities, that was something that came later, justice for something that had ALREADY happened.

Since there were no royal powers outside the cities, it was a no-man\'s land where the strongest decided what to do and how to act.

At best, one could seek justice after the "milk had been spilled," but that was all.

Since Cesar had all charges against him dropped, his defense against the groups that had previously attacked him was justified, and the Symons family had no legal basis to act against him.

Marcus wanted to provoke Cesar and see what he could get out of a meeting with the man who had almost killed him days before.

But his men were not at all comfortable with this. They really preferred to wait for the Patriarch\'s return before deciding what to do, feeling less secure in the absence of the Viscount, a Mage who could put an end to all this trouble in the blink of an eye.

But it wouldn\'t be easy to contradict the family heir in this situation.

The Viscount\'s most trusted man had died to the beasts of The Rocky Gorge a few days ago, and without him in the city, Marcus had no one to stop him.

In the Viscount\'s absence, he was the head of the family, and these men had to obey him!

"Is the young master sure?" His advisor asked.

"If he\'s not careful, this could give our assassins a chance to act," Marcus said, improving his grim expression of a few moments ago and feeling confident about his plan.

...

Hours later, night began to give way to day as a new day dawned in Millfall.

All the local powers were already aware of Cesar\'s return, but no one had moved.

Most of the local soldiers were busy with the Commander\'s orders to prepare for the threat of the 3rd-stage basilisk, while a good number of the nobles had already made deals with the Vice\'s group.

Apart from a few people who, like Nova, were curious about Cesar\'s return and his subsequent actions, only the Symons family and the Scarlet Syndicate were more interested in contacting him.

And right at dawn, the first of these groups knocked on the Mazzanti family\'s door!

Pa! Pa!

A level 4 man knocked on the front door of Vicente\'s mansion, and a second later, it opened.

Vicente\'s men could see people approaching from a distance this time, and when one of the men in armor with a red symbol knocked there, an Acolyte opened the door.

"Emissaries of the Scarlet Syndicate. To what do we owe this visit?" The level 1 Acolyte asked as he came face to face with the level 3 and 4 men.

These were high-ranking members of the Scarlet Syndicate faction! For them to knock on the door of Vicente\'s group, they probably had important things to discuss!

"We are looking for your leader. Where is he? We\'d like to invite him to our headquarters tonight. Our leader would like to meet Senior Cesar Mazzanti."

"My Don is in the middle of his training. But don\'t worry, I\'ll give him the invitation as soon as he\'s finished." The Acolyte said while a mask hid the worried expression on his face.

Even though their group was improving, they still weren\'t strong enough to ignore the Scarlet Syndicate.

Defiant Tyranny had only fallen after their leaders were killed by the level 4 and 5 beasts and the 3rd-stage basilisk.

If that group hadn\'t lost its leadership and its pillars, Defiant Tyranny would still be around to thwart the Mazzanti family.

The Scarlet Syndicate was even more powerful than this recently destroyed group and was at its peak!

However, these two groups had two agreements, and for the time being, one side had no reason to distrust the other or even act against the other.

The strongest man in the group of emissaries didn\'t take it badly and said. "Very well. Our leader will wait for Senior Cesar. See you later."

With the departure of the people from the Scarlet Syndicate, the Acolyte returned to his estate and made his way to Rory.

Rory had heard everything. "They probably want to renegotiate the terms of our deal. Probably take a little more of what we generate from now on."

"What do we do then? Would it be better to ignore this invitation?"

"No. We\'ll be leaving soon to hunt pentagrams. We need stability before that, so we\'ll have to take a few steps back to be able to go much further in the future." Rory said as he prepared to leave, feeling much better after his treatment the night before.

"Don\'t get into trouble with these people. Vicente will take care of them when he\'s finished what he\'s doing..." He said as he walked to the secret exit of this post. "Anyway, it\'s time for me to go. See you in a few days, guys."

With that, Rory left to return to his plans, delayed by the previous day\'s attack, and to return to his identity as Vicente Fuller\'s business partner.

Meanwhile, Vicente was in the training room on the mansion\'s lower level, changing his group\'s weapons.

With 50 weapons to change, training to do, and responsibilities to deal with, he was focused in the dark about some individuals approaching him and his group.
