Chapter 524 - "The Godfather's Tomb"

The other two territories that Zev aimed for belonged to high-ranked families affiliated with no one but still residing in the Roane Region.

The families had dirty backgrounds and weren’t that nice. Thus, Ainsley didn’t need to worry about attacking their territory.

[The one we will aim for is this precious mine. The precious stones in the mine are usually low-level enlightenment stones, suitable for monsters and beasts.]

Zev marked the holographic map he made with a red circle before moving to another location.

[Then, the last territory that I think we should get...is this.] Zev pointed at the last map and zoomed in so that Ainsley would be able to see it more clearly.

[What is this? This looks like an abandoned building or something...and it doesn’t seem precious.]

Ainsley rubbed her chin when she saw the old, rusty Japanese-style building that Zev showed to her.

There doesn’t seem to be anything valuable there.

However, how could what Zev picked for Ainsley be something not valuable at all? The toddler spirit snorted and tapped his holographic map.

[You see...this rundown building is actually full of strong dead spirits. The family who owns this building uses the building to nurture many shamans. They’re famous for this one building!]

When Zev said that, Ainsley’s eyes instantly lit up.

[Could it be...it is a dead spirits mausoleum?]

[Yeah. The name of the building is ’Dead Spirits Mausoleum’. It’s a sacred building for all shamans wannabe.]

Zev’s eyes glinted when he mentioned the shamans.

[In fact, even the shaman guild master always try to negotiate with the mafia family to buy the building but got rejected.]

[Eh? Can’t she just steal the building by force? This world is quite lawless, after all...]

[Unfortunately, she’s outside of the mafia society and meddling with the mafia without using the business path will offend the mafia council...so the guild master can only try to buy the building.]

Zev shrugged before tapping the holographic map once more.

[So far, there are many families beside the 7 sacred and 7 greatest families trying to snatch the mausoleum, but they all failed.]

[...is it because the family has strong shamans backed by strong spirits too?]

[Exactly. You can’t imagine how many legendary spirits reside in the mausoleum. The mausoleum is the best place to nourish dead spirits. Even the Godfather– ]

Zev hadn’t finished his words when the Godfather sent a death glare toward the toddler spirit, instantly shutting his mouth.

[Godfather what? Gowdfathel, did you live in that mausoleum before you visited me?]

The Godfather was about to answer when Zev suddenly interjected. [What did you say? He lived there as a dead spirit? Absurd. That mausoleum is the Godfather’s tomb– ]

[Zev. Shut up!] The Godfather suddenly raised his voice, and the air around him turned chilly. Even Ainsley could feel the temperature dropping fast.

The baby silently covered her mouth while glaring at Zev.

Don’t speak! Can’t you see that the Godfather is in a bad mood?! And what did you say before...that mausoleum is...the Godfather’s tomb?

How could it fall to another family’s hand? Is it because the Godfather has no affiliated family or an organisation?

Then...who builds the mausoleum until it’s a perfect place for dead spirits to live around?

historical

And why isn’t the Godfather living there? The mausoleum is his, and it can nurture spirits too...

Is there an unspeakable secret?

Ainsley had many things to ask, but she didn’t dare to ask. The baby could only scratch her cheek awkwardly and tried to shift the conversation.

[O-oh, anyway, that mausoleum is a good place, and it will be helpful for me since I’m an ambassador type of shaman, right?]

[...right.] Zev mumbled while hiding behind Ainsley.

He could occasionally peek at the Godfather, but when he saw the young man crossing his arms and legs while putting on such a cold expression, the toddler spirit would flinch.

W-why are you so mad...is it because I reminded you of your death? B-but that mausoleum is yours...now that you have a disciple, shouldn’t your disciple snatch it back from other people’s hands?

A-and many spirits like that place. Ainsley can use her ambassador shaman advantage to borrow those spirits’ ability once in a while...it can be her hidden trump card...

Zev rubbed his eyes, holding back his tears as he buried his face on Ainsley’s back. his body was like a ghost, though...so he didn’t hide behind Ainsley.

Sensing the weird atmosphere between the two spirits, Ainsley smiled bitterly and sighed.

[Okay, okay, let’s end our meeting. The last place we decide to conquer is the mausoleum. For now, let’s tell Grandpa Yofan about our plan...]

After all, the one week holiday would end tomorrow. Thus, Ainsley wanted to get Grandpa Yofan’s permission and led a troop to expand her territory.

With Ainsley shifting the topic, the two spirits awkwardly dropped their previous tension and pretended to go along with Ainsley.

That night, the baby handed the territory expansion proposal plan to Grandpa Yofan when they’re having dinner.

"This...you want to expand our territory so we can apply to be a high-ranked mafia family this year?"

The old man looked at the document on his tablet and didn’t know whether to get angry or laugh.

This baby is really a hard worker, ah...

"Yes, Gwandpa. The annual cowonation will be held in sevewal mwonths. Before that, we have to qualify to be a high-wanked mafia famiwi!"

"But...you will personally lead a troop to attack the Roid Valley and the dead spirit mausoleum?"

"Yes, Gwandpa. It will be my first tewwitowial war...but it will be a good expewience for me as the famiwi head."

I must go!
