The old lady, Elena and the kids looked at the departing duo with conflicted emotions. They knew that those guys would bring them some money to use for food but also that there will be some retaliation from the noble families that want to drive them away from here. It was a taboo to rent the land in this area. People were scared for the consequences that could come because they defined the words of nobles that were like laws here. They did not want those guys to get hurt but they could not really do anything to protect them. There were a lot of crimes made against them in this couple of years. The noble families tried to buy the land, after that they tried to intimidate them to sell it. The only reason they did not try to take it by force was the fear of retaliation from the main branch if the church in the country. Because this church did not get any money from the believers for the main branch this place was forgotten by everyone, and this old lady needed to think how to fend the nobles off and raise the orphans. There were children from the age of 3 to the age of 10 here. There were around 50 kids. The kids were different, but the old lady tried to raise them to be good people. She knew that soon people will come to beat the buyers up and then come to them to try and take the money away. It happened many times already and she did not know what she can do to change the situation. She was lost at her thoughts for some time but then a question came to her mind. 'How are those guys going to live there? They don't have any bags or anything else. Will they just sleep on the ground?' She thought. She did not have the answered for these questions. Then she saw the duo get to their land and then a medium sized building appeared out of nowhere. The old lady froze together with Elena that was looking at this scene from afar. The kids were intrigued by the new building. They could not get far away from the church because they were afraid of being kidnaped. It already happened before, and the kids were trained to not interact with strangers. Now Ammy and Elena understood that this duo of buyers were not simple at all. Ammy herself travelled the empire and she did not see anything like this before. She was not sure what to expect from those two guys. The most important thing was that they did not seem hostile and most likely no one would be able to drive them away. She just needed to wait and see what life will bring in the future. She commanded the kids to listen to Elena and went to get the money from the city lord administration. It would allow the church to survive for a couple of more months. The news travelled to the noble families as well. In the luxurious hall of the Maximilian family the patriarch already sent some thugs to the church to make trouble to the newcomers and try and take away the money given to the church. He wanted to get the church territory for a few reasons. He wanted to eliminate the church influence in town. Also, the church held a pretty big territory that he was interested in. His name was Michael. He was the patriarch for a long time and knew how things should get done. He held big power that he did not want to give to others. He enjoyed the fact that he could influence reality by his decisions. He was the leader of the noble families in Manchester, and his word was the law. If anyone went against him, he got annulated in one way or another. After making his decision and making the needed instructions to his trusted man he waited for the good news because there could not be any bad news. It was not something that he would accept. There was more chance for the heads of his subordinates to roll than for Michael to get the bad news.
Near the church the gaming club operation was usual. Only two people operated the capsules. Derek continued to train after dinner in the same routine. As for Max... He liked the God vibe and because of that he decided to study a lightning skill that hit from above that was called "Lightning fall". Like the ire of God. He was sure that this will be a fun thing to do. He positive of the fact that his enemies will shit themselves when God will get them for their sins. He was anticipating this turn of events. This shit will be epic. He still was at a mage level so he could not make a mass attack skill with the lightning element, but he could start with the lightning fall skill. That skill was really hard to avoid if the move of the casting of this skill is not telegraphed. All the lightning skills are fast, and this one was not an exception. While the duo was training a group of thugs were on their way to get their tasks done. They got a good pay. Even too good to be true. That's why they were eager to get the job done. They had a few level one apprentice knights in the group, so they did not worry at all. Not many people could oppose such might. When the group arrived at the scene, they were very surprised. The reason was that two buildings standing in the area where they saw only one building only a few days ago when they were here for a patrol mission. They could not wrap their heads around it. "How did this building get here? Was something like that in the reports?" Asked one of the men in the team. All the rest shook their heads. "We will figure it out soon enough." Said another man with a sinister smile. They could just get the buyers of the land and interrogate them. They had the backup of the biggest noble family in town. Even if the city guards will come, they could make a deal with them. The thugs smiled and went towards the gaming club.
