In the anti, Yrellea and Ralph had stayed in Veninza Town. Yrellea's Misty Flower Pavilion was earning her quick and huge profits. And the Dragon Tiger Palace had already tried to poach several mbers of her Pavilion, but she had already dealt with them efficiently.
The Dragon Tiger Palace had no idea that their spies and inforrs had already been found out. Yrellea was instead using them to make the Dragon Tiger Palace spend more inco on the Misty Flower Pavilion.
Yrellea didn't need to do any advertising or marketing for the Misty Flower Pavilion. The Dragon Tiger Palace's branches in various cities were doing this task for Yrellea. After so ti, Yrellea knew that it was ti for her to expand her influence.
Yrellea knew that if she left, the Dragon Tiger Palace would actively poach her mbers of the Misty Flower Pavilion. They would try to gain complete control over her Pavilion. As Yrellea concluded this, she beca even sure that she must leave the town for so ti!
She was familiar with the Dragon Tiger Palace's thods now and was confident in dealing with them. Yrellea knew that she had to make the Dragon Tiger Palace believe that they had a good chance of controlling the Misty Flower Pavilion, or else, they could change their thods.
It would boost their confidence if they were successful in recruiting the Misty Flower Pavilion's higher-ups. This confidence would leave them vulnerable, allowing Yrellea to move on to the second step of her strategy.
Azaroth established Misty Flower Pavilion and entrusted it to Yrellea to operate as his eyes and ears in the general public. However, Yrellea wanted to take this a step further and create her inforrs within the various associations and sects of the Glerian Kingdom.
Moreover, her inforrs wouldn't be mixed with the outer sect disciples or inner sect disciples. They would be involved with the highest-ranking mbers of the sect. The core disciples or the top elders of that sect.
Naturally, it would be a very challenging task to get any association or a sect to trust them. Thus, Yrellea had inford them all of what they should do if soone cos to them with an offer of recruitnt.
"If they co to recruit you, the first thing you should do is appear hesitant and scared. If you appear hesitant, it will show that your task has a great risk involved and you would be in a position to demand a better deal for yourself."
"I don't actually care if you betray for whatever reason. However, the core secrets of the Pavilion must not be spread out. I am sure you already know but let remind you. There is a mory lock in your mind. If you ever try to reveal those core secrets or even ntion them to soone, your soul will be extinguished, instantly."
Yrellea managed to do this by using her Mystical Spiritual Connection Rings. Azaroth's projection appeared, and he created a mory lock in their mind. Even if soone drugged them, they would never be able to reveal the information sealed within this mory lock.
Yrellea's subordinates swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously. No one wanted to have that death. They swore in their minds to never ntion it to anyone. Yrellea noticed the expressions of her subordinates and was satisfied with their terrified looks.
At this mont, a woman asked Yrellea, "Miss, what about when they try to recruit us? How much should we inform them? If we accidentally ntion more than we are supposed to, our soul will imdiately shatter, and we will die."
Yrellea nodded her head and spoke, "An excellent question. Today, I will inform you of what you should do and say when soone is trying to recruit you or threaten you for information about the Pavilion. You need to rember all this information and make sure to act appropriately because this could save your life. In fact, after this, you would even have the opportunity to beco my inforrs within that sect or association."
Yrellea noticed that not all her subordinates were excited at the prospect of becoming inforrs. She thought 'They understand that becoming inforrs would greatly endanger their lives. However, this is only natural.'
"I know that all of you realize that if you beco double agents for and for the sect, it would greatly endanger your life. I am a fair person. I would naturally provide you with appropriate benefits in return. You will receive a constant inco in the form of crystals, cultivation or combat techniques, or pellets."
Yrellea grinned as she saw her subordinates' astonished looks. She realized she had piqued their interest. It was now ti for the final blow! A determined look appeared on Yrellea's face as she spoke, "Always rember that your own strength is the only constant in this world. And I can help you grow much stronger than any sect or association! If you are smart, you will know which side to pick."
Yrellea remained silent about sothing. It was feasible that they could beco true inforrs for rival sects or associations. Yrellea decided to be rciless and would assassinate them with the aid of her other informants.
Naturally, this knowledge would remain a well-guarded secret until one of them betrayed them and Yrellea was compelled to murder her. Yrellea departed from Veninza Town after instructing her subordinates on the many scenarios that may arise and what they needed to do or say in response.
anwhile, Ralph and his team were living in the Origin Sect. His team was a rcenary group that took all sorts of contracts within Veninza Town. The contracts could range anywhere from dealing with beasts to collecting rare herbs and materials for the Veninza Town.
Ralph had to deploy a small party with a rchant caravan on missions in which he had to defend them from any catastrophes along the road. Ralph would never go on a mission like this. He would pick one of his trusted commanders to lead the party and accompany the rchant caravan.
Typically, sending a small team of two-star warriors and a three-star warrior to command them would be sufficient to keep anyone from having any weird ideas about the trade caravan. Most fighters would be intimidated by the sheer number and equipnt of the team sent by Ralph.
In this manner, Ralph was building a great relationship with all the influential individuals within Veninza Town. Ralph had also expanded his group by slowly adding the Origin Sect Branch's disciples.
He personally led them on a number of perilous expeditions and ford strong bonds of loyalty with them. Ralph was well aware that under hardship, they would divulge their actual sentints. They could only build strong ties with each other if they had a sense of transparency with one another.
However, Ralph gradually understood that this approach had a limitation. And no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to break through this limit. This was because his group had grown so huge that forming deep ties with each of his subordinates was impractical.
Ralph knew that he had to change his approach. After consulting with a few of his close friends, he gradually found a solution. He was going to have his close friends create their own groups and lead them.
Ralph's close friends' groups would be branches of the primary group he managed. His close friends would take the new recruits on dangerous missions and instill loyalty in them. This would save Ralph a lot of ti and work. He could use that ti to survey the area and seek a new place to settle.
Ralph's group had built up quite a reputation within Veninza Town. The general public called them 'The Scarlet Badger Gang'. This was because all the mbers of Ralph's gang wore scarlet badges on their chests.
These Scarlet Badges had now beco a symbol of their identity. Ralph's badge was dark red in color while all the other mbers had a light red colored badge. Moreover, Ralph's badge looked slightly different from all the other badges that his subordinates possessed.
This badge indicated that he was the leader of the gang. Naturally, they had mixed different materials and created them using a special technique to ensure that they couldn't be duplicated. The blacksmith had already left the town and settled in a large city far away. He was living a rather prosperous life right now.
Ralph was planning to expand the Scarlet Badger Gang to other cities. He was planning to go to the Vlashire City since Yrellea and Sargan had built an impressive information network in that city.
It would make things much easier for Ralph to set up his Scarlet Badger Gang there and deal with all sorts of formalities and issues. Ralph had already inford Sargan about this and had received Sargan's support.
Yrellea had also inford her subordinates who were managing the Misty Flower Pavilion in Vlashire City to assist Ralph as much as they could.. Naturally, they had to discreetly help Ralph since Azaroth had sternly ordered them to ensure that the general public wouldn't realize the relationship between their respective groups and organizations.
