Gangland Fantasy 73 Lillie and The Ghosthand's Secre

"Boss, it is great that they agreed with our plan." Cris said with a happy tone.

"Right. It is really great. The two merchants can use their wealth and connections to drive away some nobles. The Profound Tiger will send people to get teritories in the west. The west district will be in chaos and the Crimson Earth Clan will enter the fight in the name of 'protector of the city'." Naga said with a smile.

"Weak hearted nobles will definitely leave while those who stay will face the Profound Tiger and Crimson Earth." Cris responded.

He continued, "This is a great plan. By just intimidating them a little using the name of the House of Iron Crow and Silver Sparrow, we are able to make those two merchants and great clan to move."

"Reputation and infamy. Those two can be used to get advantages. There are times that our fists alone are not enough. We should look for options where we can save more strength. Always remember that we are gangsters not barbarian warriors." Naga reminded Cris.

"Yes, Boss." Cris nodded and answered.

It was already midnight when the group arrived at the manor.

"Someone is waiting for you, young sir." One of the guards said after opening the gate.

Naga went down and asked, "Thanks. Who is it?"

"A commoner from the town. She said her name is Lillie, young sir." The guard bowed down and answered.

"I see. Thank you." Naga frowned and said.

He looked at Cris and said, "I'll go first. Make sure to monitor the city."

Cris patted his chest and said confidently, "Leave it to me, Boss."

Naga nodded and entered the manor. He went to the manor's lounge where Lillie is waiting.

In the lounge, he saw Lillie with the princess and Bill.

"Nice to see you here." Naga said and smiled.

Lillie stood up and said, "Sorry for visiting you at this time."

"No, it is fine." Naga answered and approached her.

"You are always welcome here." Bill said.

"What happened?" Naga asked after he sat down.

"Someone from the council is coming. Not just a nobody but a shadow emissary."

"Shadow emissary?" Naga asked.

"An official directly under one of the council seats." The princess answered.

Naga frowned and asked, "How did you know?"

"That aura. That same aura. I can feel it. We need to hide." Lillie answered with a worried tone.

"I see. Did you tell Father Justus about it?" Naga asked.

The princess was surprised. 'Hide?'

Lillie lightly shook her head and answered, "No, I didn't."

"I see. Let's go back to the church. I will bring you to a much safer place." Naga answered.

"I will go with you, My Lord." Bill answered.

Naga nodded and asked the servant to call Ian.

They immediately went to the church and Naga talked to Father Justus.

When the old priest heard what is happening, he ordered the knights to open the portal.

The group and the old priest entered and went to Naga's mansion.

The butler of the mansion, Theodore, was excited to see Naga.

"Greetings, young master." He bowed down and said smiling.

The maids and the guards bowed down too, "Greetings, young master."

Bill and Lillie were astonished. Naga's mansion is more elegant than the city lord's mansion.

Also, this island is so magical. The arcane aura in this realm is powerful yet gentle.

The group entered the mansion and escorted to the lounge.

One of the guards reported, "Young master, Sir Lucas and Bishop Luciano are here."

After that, two men entered the lounge. An old man wearing a simple priest robe and a man wearing a golden robe. These men are Bishop Luciano and Sir Lucas.

"How are you, Naga?" Sir Lucas asked and smiled.

Naga lightly bowed and said smiling, "Doing good, I guess."

Both men looked at Naga and was surprised with his improvement.

"You became more powerful." The old bishop said.

"It is thanks to the bishop that I met the Elder. His guidance helped me a lot." Naga responded.

The bishop nodded and smiled then he looked at Bill.

Bill bowed down and said, "Greetings. My name is Willard. Thanks for helping Lord Naga."

"It is only natural. Nice meeting you, Sir Willard." Sir Lucas answered.

Since they entered the room, these two men were observing Bill. They were astonished with how pure and powerful his Ancient Prime is. It is like he was born with it.

"It is nice meeting you, young man. God bless you." The old bishop smiled and said.

Naga looked at Lillie and said, "This is Lillie and she's my sister. She will stay here for now."

The holy knight and the old bishop looked at Lillie and lightly bowed down.

"Please enjoy your stay here, Miss Lillie." Sir Lucas said.

"Thank you!" Lillie answered.

She was surprised. Even though she is a servant of the church, this is her first time meeting a bishop and a holy knight.

They talked about the current events and both men learned what happened.

"The council sending a shadow emissary is only natural. A dragon from the Golden Sky Palace descended, not just any dragon but a dragon princess." Sir Lucas said.

"Destroying a den of high demon with an archdemon leading it. This is big for humanity. Thank you." Bishop Luciano said and smiled.

They talked for a bit more before the two men decided to leave.

Naga talked to Theodore and asked him to take care of Lillie.

"Rest assured, young master. She will be safe here. As your sister, we will treat her as the master of this house." Theodore smiled and said with confident tone.

After that, he went to Lillie's room and talked to her.

"Naga, be careful. The council is the reason why our parents died." Lillie said with a worried tone.

"Definitely. I will make sure to get make information from them." Naga nodded and chuckled.

"Don't underestimate them, okay?" Lillie reminded him.

"Of course. I won't." He lightly shook his head and answered.

Lillie thought for a bit and said, "Naga, the thing that they want from our family is inside my body. To be exact, it is attached to my soul."

"What?" Naga frowned and asked.

"It is the secret of our family. The same secret why the temple where our father grew up was destroyed." Lille looked at Naga and said with a serious tone.

She continued, "A huge secret. It is a key. I have the power to open the sealed pathway to the Celestial World."

Naga was surprised. Since he is studying space arcane, he read about it before. He read that there is a specific location in this world where the time and space is in total distortion. It is to prevent the celestials from entering and for the people of this world to go to the other world.

The Celestial World is not just a created realm or a sacred ground. It is a true world and it is much older than their world.

"I... I understand. Keep it a secret, you see? Naga said.

Lillie nodded but did not respond. She became more relieved after telling her brother.

"This is huge. But we should not talk about it again. At least for now... We are not powerful enough yet. Let's gather more resources and power first." Naga smiled and said.

He continued, "I will continue resoliving minor problems first. I don't know what to do with that to tell you honestly."

"I understand. Sorry, little brother." Lillie said and smiled.

Naga nodded and bid his goodbye to Lillie. He went to the portal with Bill and gave some instructions to the knights that will guard Lillie before entering it.

'Damn! This is huge. I am not powerful enough for this secret. I need more time. I will focus first with making my underground family huge.' Naga chuckled and thought to himself.
