The Rise of the Black Plain

"But..." He tried to say something to stop these people from leaving while his teammates looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

They were there to support this individual, but they did not want any trouble with a member of the Spiritual Church who was just passing through this city.

As for that individual, he was following orders, trying to get Minos' group to his boss.

"But, are you telling the truth? If you are a member of the Church, how come you are still the King of the Black Plain?" He managed to think about it in the short time he had until then.

Gloria then said. "I assure you that my husband is a member of the Church. As for the details, you don't need to know."

People in the area heard this and were impressed. But no one suspected the veracity of Gloria's words since this woman was dressed in her black cloak, the distinctive Archbishop's uniform.

"That... But I ask you to come with me. There is a person who wishes to meet you." He said in a low voice, feeling quite insecure in this situation of trying to deal with these young Spiritual Emperors.

Minos looked at that man and asked. "What is this about? Speak honestly, or I will leave without paying more attention to you."

Since he was inside the sect of these people, Minos was willing to listen to whatever was behind this situation. Of course, he would not accept being bullied like earlier, but he was well-behaved enough to at least listen to the other party and consider what to do.

Hence, he had not been unreasonable and gave that group a chance to prove more friendly to him and his wives.

The man sighed upon hearing that and said. "My young miss wants to meet you. She has a past wi..."

Hearing where that comment was going, Minos immediately realized what such a person intended to talk about and turned to leave. "Tell her I'm not interested. I don't care about the relations between you and the people of the Gray Clouds Sect."

"As I said, I am not a member of that organization, and I will not deal with your history's problems."

Seeing that, Minos' wives followed him while Ruth asked. "Why didn't you at least wait for him to finish speaking?"

"I got the impression that, like Dennis Red, those people were going to talk about Maisie or some member of her family..." Minos said while having an unfriendly expression on his face. "I don't have the patience to deal with those people. If they want to talk, cause trouble, or make friends with me, they will have to approach me like normal people. Trying to approach me using their relationships with people I barely know won't work."

His wives readily understood his point and did not try to convince him otherwise. They were there for the Black Plain and had no relationship with the Gray Clouds Sect. So, how could they let problems related to Maisie or others get in the way of their trip?

It would go against their goals, so the three women agreed with the idea of leaving this place and avoiding getting involved with what was unrelated to them.

As they were leaving, the subordinate of Maisie's rival stood back with his mouth open, not knowing how to justify the situation to his boss.

'What a terrible person! He's not the least bit civil!' He clenched his fists in frustration at how annoying Minos was. 'The fellow didn't even let me finish speaking!'

"Boss, what are we going to do? Are we just going to let them go?" One of the high-level Spiritual Emperors in his group asked as he saw the crowd near the place Dennis had been humiliated dispersing.

As some disciples of the Holy Sect were slowly rescuing that red-haired man, that man said. "Leave them. We have no choice, and I'm sure the young miss wouldn't want unnecessary trouble just on their account."

"Sigh!"

"Just return to your posts and forget about it..."

...

"... And that's what happened, young miss." The man who had stopped Minos' group earlier explained the previous situation to the beautiful woman who had ordered him.

As she finished listening to that narration, Maisie's rival had an ugly expression on her beautiful face, shocked that a little bastard had managed to get past her and spoil her plans.

'He has no power, but he's pretty smart about using whatever he has at his disposal to get out of trouble...'

"Tsk!" She clenched her fists and felt angry at herself for not going on her own.

'You win this one, Maisie's son!' She clenched her teeth against each other, but then a young woman similar to her appeared where she and that man were standing.

"Mother, you called me?" This young woman, who must have been a few years older than Ruth, asked, curious to know why she had been called urgently.

Hearing her precious daughter calling her, that woman lost her previous thoughts and looked at the young woman she had called to face Minos.

"Naomi, I called you here for you to fight one person, but the coward found a way to escape." She said as the subordinate there looked away, thinking this truly was not a lie.

"Fight? Escaped? Who are you talking about, mother?" The beautiful young woman, about 1.7 meters tall, slim body but with thick thighs, and small breasts, asked in doubt.

"Yes, I heard that Maisie Coleman's son was in our city, and I tried to arrange a fight between you two... But who knew that kid would get scared and leave this place as soon as he found out about my intentions?" She suggested as she clapped one of her hands on one of her daughter's shoulders.

"Is that so?" The girl understood the situation since she already knew her mother's history with Maisie.

Maisie was gorgeous, and in the past, a man that this woman from the Holy Sect had a love interest in had fallen in love with Maisie, leaving her aside...

After that, she formed a great rivalry with Minos' mother, having fought against that woman several times during competitions for the younger generation in the Flaming Empire.

Since local traditions said that the grudges of one generation were passed on to the next, this person wanted to use her daughter to defeat Minos and thus target Maisie...

"Yes, but now he and his little group are leaving the city... Sigh, what a coward! Too bad it's not suitable for me to teach him a lesson, Naomi..."

"Oh?" This beautiful young woman's eyes widened. "Do you want me to look for him, mother? Maybe I can reach him and show him what the word honor means!"

A smile appeared in the eyes of that green-haired woman. "Very well, you haven't forgotten the family tradition..."

"Now go, defeat that fellow and let him return to the Gray Clouds Sect with a great lesson in his record."

"Yes, mother!" Naomi said before flying away from there, leaving behind her mother and the subordinate from before.

"Young miss, I don't think that was a good idea..."
