Chapter 959 New Faction
Chapter 959 New Faction
Vicente thought about Larissa’s proposal for a minute, wondering how far he could go with this woman he had just met a few days ago.
The problem for him wasn’t trust. Situations in which two strangers had to start a business together were not uncommon in the cultivation world. Even more so, given the existence of mechanisms to certify promises. Agreements between strangers were not uncommon.
But he wanted to know more about her, her goals, who she had already talked to about this proposal, and even who she had worked with over the past eight months.
Unlike Vicente, who was new to everything in Anicane, Larissa had seen enough of the place to have trusted acquaintances, enemies and rivals.
“I think it’s interesting. But where exactly are you going with this?” He started with the most important thing—her motives.
“Everything in Light Cay depends on stone coins. As leaders of our own faction, we get to keep most of the profits from the faction’s actions. Existing factions and families get the best of any kind of activity that low-ranking members do. That’s what I want first—resources.” She got right to the point, but it was only the first step in her plans.
“But what I really want, what we all want, is power and influence,” she said, looking him in the eye, not hiding her true ambitions. “I will not lie to you. I want to be in charge of Stonewall. To leave our ‘island’ and explore Anicane without worrying about my position.
As I told you, several people from my plane have come to Anicane, some of them close acquaintances whom I would like to see again…”
As she spoke, there was a sparkle in Larissa’s eyes, her tone charged with energy and genuine desire.
She wasn’t in love with Lothur Ritter, whom she most wanted to see again. She knew what the man was capable of and how beneficial it could be for her to be close to such a powerful and talented friend.
Lothur could be dead by now, but Larissa believed that wasn’t the case. If she was right, he must be at least a high-ranking Grand Magus by now. And that alone would be enough for her to profit from meeting him again.
‘Lothur and the others will want to know about the situation in Concordia. His wives have left their families behind and will surely welcome me, even though 2,000 years have passed.’ The white-haired woman thought as she spoke to Vincent.
“… Anyway, my intentions are no different from anyone you’ll come in contact with in the future. Everyone, deep in their heart, wants power. Some deny it, but in order to fulfill other ambitions, they need power and eventually give in to it.”
He nodded in agreement. Vicente preferred to deal with direct people. “Are you involved in any way that I need to worry about?”
“Not that I know of.” She smiled as she said it. “Like you, I’m registered at the Forge Center and the Combat Center. I also have mandatory activities at the Diplomacy Center.
I’ve only completed two non-mandatory missions in the past few months, and I’m doing four more now. None of the ones I’ve completed required me to fight against other sect members, so I shouldn’t have any mortal enemies. But maybe I have someone plotting against me for darker reasons? There are crazy and dangerous people everywhere, so I can’t guarantee you won’t have any problems if you ally yourself with me.” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Vicente understood the woman’s situation. ‘Well, anyone who lives long enough to be relevant will have a history. It’s normal to have some problems, and I’m not worried about it.
On the other hand, she had to restart her cultivation, so she must have been careful during those months. Any problems she had were minor and probably wouldn’t be a big deal.’
“All right.” He agreed as he showed her one of his hands. “I agree to form a faction with you. However, I don’t know if we can have equal positions in the faction. As I understand it, the role of the {Affiliations} tab manager is exclusive to a single member.”
She smiled, understanding Vicente’s doubt. “That’s not a problem. You haven’t dug deep enough to understand how the sect works, but within the {Affiliations} tab, there are unique positions that can be assigned.
When we create our faction in the Registration Center, we can create a hierarchy and their respective functions, rights, and responsibilities. You can be the Faction Leader, while I’ll be the Deputy Leader, or whatever title we choose for that role.”
“Can we do that?” Vicente looked at Prisiche.
Prisiche nodded, not having interrupted their conversation so far. “Yes, master, you can. The {Affiliations} tab is quite complete. You should create your faction and learn more about it in practice. There are so many functions, I wouldn’t know where to start explaining them.”
“I see. All right then. Let’s do that.” He looked back at Larissa as she stood and shook his dominant hand.
“Have you found anyone else for this faction? I imagine you’ve been in contact with many people in the last eight months.” He walked out of the house with Larissa, who immediately wanted to go to the Registration Center.
She nodded approvingly as she carried a green bag, her artificial intelligence. “I have three names that we can bring into the faction in a short time. But I don’t want to bring them over to our side right away. In fact, we’d better wait.”
“Why?” He didn’t understand.
“I’ve been recovering my cultivation for the past few months, so the contacts I’ve had access to are low-level Paragons and low-level Archmages at best. Apart from my superiors, I’ve hardly met any powerful members of the sect.” She smiled bitterly at her situation.
“The names I have aren’t that impressive. They’re people who can join the faction, but it’s better to have other names first. That way, they’ll join us at a lower ‘cost’.”
Prisiche recommended to Vicente. “That is really best, master. As much as you can define the way the faction will work, it’s normal for the first members to get bigger bonuses due to a tradition of seniority.
The first members of a faction must be of a high level, or at least very talented. Once you have a minimum number of members, you can recruit more people without having to pay absurd bonuses to low-level beginners.”
Vicente was still not used to the reality of this place, so he accepted the recommendation of the two women who knew more about this sect.

They made their way to the Registration Center, talking about the faction and what they should do as soon as possible.
“You need 200,000 stone coins to register a new faction,” said a woman in the given area for that.
Vicente’s eyes widened when he heard it.
