The Rise of the Black Plain

While Ford was angry at Minos, Troy was shocked that such a person had not only married Gloria, a woman so beautiful that she could be called a goddess, but had also impregnated her.

He did not know Gloria well, but he knew she was in charge of the Spiritual Church in the northern region. Since she was already at level 69, he was sure she was very talented and would have a great future within such an organization.

Thus, upon learning that Minos had impregnated her, Troy was already considering the power of influence this would give Minos, something necessary for anyone to prosper in this world.

'This fellow is doing very well indeed!' He thought as he looked in the direction of Gloria's belly.

Ford also looked at that woman and said. "Will you allow your man to keep going after my sister? Hell, he will be a father, and you accept this behavior from your husband?"

Ruth did not like Ford's intrusion into their relationship and stepped forward. "Ford, don't talk as if you know anything about us. You just have your ego bruised because the woman you love gave herself to our husband."

"Then don't come with this foolish talk. Talk to Kara and leave us alone if you want your sister back. We have nothing to do with your disgusting relationship."

"What?" Troy opened his mouth as he heard the black-haired woman's words, finally understanding why his friend was so passionate about Kara.

"Did you hear that?" Someone in the vicinity asked as he laughed and covered his mouth.

"What a thing, huh? Sister and brother..."

"I didn't think someone like him would have that kind of relationship."

"Tsk!"

"In some parts of the continent, it's common for things like that to happen... They say there are whole families focused on inbreeding, in some extreme cases even with cases of mothers with their sons, fathers with their daughters." Someone commented on this continental curiosity.

"How awful..."

As the comments spread to the surroundings, Ford finally could not say anything more to those people, feeling partially ashamed to have his secret exposed like that.

But since this kind of relationship was not forbidden anywhere on the continent, he was unlikely to suffer negative consequences because someone revealed his secret, apart from a few rumors, of course.

That way, he ran from that place in a hurry, with Troy following soon after.

'Unbelievable!'

'So Ford and Kara were doing that?' Troy thought about such a thing. 'Fuck, but if I had a sister like Kara, I don't know what I would have done in his place...'

Those two finally cleared the passage of Minos' group, who soon after left the entrance of that spiritual technique store.

"Come on. I want to sell these items we collected during the trip here..." Minos said as he smiled at his wives, remembering the spatial rings they had collected over the past few weeks.

Not all the items in those rings were necessary for the Black Plain, so Minos naturally would not take them back to his territory just because they would not get in their way. No, it would be wiser to sell them and use the crystals generated by them to fund things that could make a positive difference to his state.

So Gloria, Ruth, and Abby soon followed him through this Holy Sect city streets, leaving the people in that previous area talking about what had happened.

...

In a quiet area of that city, full of high-standard houses, a woman was drinking spiritual tea on the second-floor balcony of her house.

There, she was observing the landscape of the sect's headquarters city while listening to the rumor that had already spread among the sect's disciples.

"Young miss, it seems the King of the Black Plain, son of Maisie Coleman, is in our city right now." A middle-aged man with short, gray hair said in a low voice while making a subordinate stand.

"Oh? Is that woman's son here?" this beautiful level 70 Spiritual Saint with green hair, white skin, and a proportionally perfect body asked as she turned to look at that man.

The Holy Sect and the Gray Clouds Sect had a rival relationship, but without deep hostility, as was the case with Minos' family sect and the Saints Slayer Sect.

Because of this and the fact that this beautiful woman was of the same age group as Maisie, she had a history with Minos' mother and was interested in this fellow.

The man then said. "Yes, young miss. There was an argument in front of a store in the central part of the city where two of our disciples from the northern region confronted a group of three women and one man."

"The disciple Ford seems to have recognized the King of the Black Plain, and then they debated some problems in that region." He said, remembering the information from the Black Plain War of Independence, something that had come to the attention of even the sects of the Flaming Empire.

That conflict had hindered the interests of those sects in that region, so naturally, the people in those organizations knew the basics of such a confrontation.

Since this man was aware of the situation in the states of Troy and Ford during and after the war, he knew that the topic of their discussion showed that such a person was indeed King Stuart.

Upon hearing his subordinate's confirmation, this woman, Maisie's rival and one of the candidates for the position of the successor of the master of this sect, stood up with a smile on her face.

"Well then, bring him over here! He, a member of a rival sect, has entered our city without notifying our forces. So he will have to justify himself in my presence, or he will be arrested!"

"As the young miss wishes." That man said before leaving in a hurry to settle the matter.

'I want to see what this son of yours looks like, Maisie...' She smiled as she looked at the horizon. 'Does he compare to my daughter? Hehe, I don't think so... You open your legs for a bumpkin from the northern region, so he probably doesn't compare to you, even considering his excellence in that poor place.'

...

Meanwhile, another person had found out about Minos' presence in the Holy Sect and was running after him at this very moment.

Such an individual had red hair like Ford's, light brown eyes, and was at level 68. Moreover, he was dressed in the robes of an elder of the Holy Sect, a position available to the most talented of that organization when they reached some parameters.

'So such a person is here, huh?' He thought as he ran after the tracks left by Minos and his wives after they left the previous store. 'I want to see how the person who destroyed my home state and made havoc in the northern region is...'

'At the same time, he is the son of that goddess...' He remembered his crush, who, unfortunately, had never paid attention to him.

After some time, he finally found his target.

"Minos Stuart, Dennis Red is here to challenge you!"
