After a quiet journey back to Ravengarde, Vicente and his group landed at the city's airport.
For obvious reasons, Bert and Garin followed separately from Vicente, leaving him to follow alongside only Rex, while wearing sunglasses—Prisiche.
Back in the city, Vicente breathed in the air of the tropolis' modernity, back in a highly technological and populous place.
It was terrible to be there!
But with a long sigh, he headed back to Stonewall's headquarters, figuring that Larissa and the other mbers of {Golden Partners} had already returned from their previous mission. Previously, he had left because he couldn't join them and would have to go to Alicia sooner or later. But now that more than a month had passed, he was sure that he would be able to reunite with his companions.
And indeed, soon after identifying himself at the entrance to the headquarters, Vicente would run into his fellow faction mbers in the most common place for Outer Disciples.
The Missions Center!
As soon as he entered the building where disciples ca to look for activities that would earn them resources, Vicente spotted the white-haired woman with whom he had a partnership.
Along with Larissa were Rill, Daren, Mabras and Alidove, sitting around one of the tables in the area where many other disciples sat to chat, sotis pass the ti and choose missions after thinking about the pros and cons.
The mont she saw the small animal on one of Vicente's shoulders, Larissa didn't misunderstand the situation and promptly stood up from where she was.
"Vicente!" She exclaid to him, obviously curious to know how he had acquired a beast with 5-Star Magus cultivation!
The others noticed the sa, all of them having already reached the 7th stage to be able to easily identify Rex's cultivation.
Rex wasn't hiding his strength. In a place like this, it made sense to show power up to a certain limit. It would bring opportunities and ward off so minor problems. As for bigger problems, well, Vicente was ready and waiting for them.
"You're back..." He said as he greeted everyone with a nod, while Prisiche took on her usual blonde woman form.
"I say the sa to you... You went on a mission with your sponsor. I didn't expect you to return with such a powerful beast." Daren, the feline woman with 1-Star Magus cultivation, said with a smile, shaking her facial hair.
Beasts from cultivators who were mbers of the sect could enter the headquarters without any problems. With Vicente's mark on his body, Rex was seen by the sect's barriers as part of Vice's powers, in other words, as a mber of the sect.
None of them were surprised by this fact, but they were interested in the story Vicente had to tell them.
He sumd up what was most important and what he was willing to tell them before hearing from them about the journey the group had made, their achievents and awards. Upon hearing the plans they intended to engage in from now on, which included him, Vicente was satisfied and agreed to go ahead with most of what they had already planned.
For now, he didn't want to get involved in anything deep. He didn't want to risk performing rituals; he didn't have the resources to contract missions using the Dark Hands system, nor to contract an investigation into Nan and her group. His priority was to carry out missions, get resources and strengthen himself until he entered the middle of the 7th stage, when it would be ti for him to hunt down his remaining pentagrams.
"How much ti do you need to prepare?" Mabras, a tall, strong man, asked after hearing Vicente say that he would be going with them after settling so matters in the sect.
"Two to three days, no more than that," Vicente said. "I need to report on so things I've seen and buy so materials. We'll leave as soon as I have everything ready."
With that said, he arranged with Larissa to et her later, before moving on with Rex and Prisiche to report on what he had seen during the trip.
Bert and Garin would do the sa, since they were supposedly watching him to keep him out of trouble and they all had to report sothing similar to keep their stories going. But Vicente had already told those two to hide the fact that he had interacted with such individuals from outside the island. They were only supposed to report that they had spotted Nan's group.
Vicente wanted to get information from that group on his own, so he didn't intend to use this report to get sothing.
...
Three days after his return to the sect, Vicente had sorted out all the problems from his recent absence, spoken to his master, Collins, and visited the Centers where he had mandatory activities.
Fortunately, he had a lot of freedom these days, and after reporting what had happened and asking for another authorization to leave headquarters, he was ready to join his faction on the mission Larissa had chosen.
This was an out-of-town mission, so once again, he had a journey ahead of him.
At the start of this new day, he left his house together with Rex and Prisiche, eting the white-haired woman, his street neighbor, before eting up with the others.
"Are you sure you want to do three missions on one trip?" Larissa asked Vicente, just to be sure.
"Yes, I'd even do more, if it were possible... Anyway, I need resources to complete so of my plans. The next two years will be a lot of missions for ." He said to her as he made his way to where Daren, Mabras and Alidove were already waiting for them.
On the way he saw Theo, with whom he had already spoken over the last few days and agreed important things for their relationship as allies. Fortunately, they were at the beginning of their business together and there was room for one group to stay away from the other without any problems.
So Vicente's group set off on their journey of missions outside the headquarters!
