Chapter 604 - "National Tournament"

After coaxing the spirits to agree with the new rules, Ainsley became increasingly busy. 

She supervised the array masters hired to fix the array and would also pay attention to the Godfather's recovery speed

She didn't forget to always receive reports from her main mansion and ensure that everyone was alright. 

She also made a memorial and burial for the troops losing their lives in the Mausoleum War. 

At the same time, Ainsley would diligently absorb the spiritual energy in the mausoleum to level up her shaman ability. 

She also made sure her soul remained strong despite there being weird items inside it. 

In a week, the array was fixed, and it became an anti-spirit array. 

Just like their agreement, Ainsley chased out all the spirits inside the mausoleum and told them to spread the news to the other spirits. 

In just a few days, the spirits told the other spirits about the mausoleum's new rules. They also contacted the shamans to take the guidebook to teach other spirits they might encounter. 

Thus, the news of the Sloan Family finally getting their hands on the mausoleum spread fast. 

The mafia society's newspaper immediately shared the news and also told the mafia society about the mausoleum's new regulation. 

When the 7 sacred families heard of the news, all of them instantly looked as if they just ate a fly. 

They immediately understood that Ainsley purposely made this new regulation to make the mausoleum a piece of useless building without her connection with the spirits! 

No one knew how she managed to convince the spirits and even attracted a large number of new free spirits. 

In just a month, countless spirits all around the region and even those outside of the Roane Region had at least tried participating in the mausoleum business. 

Since there's no spirit-trapping array, the variety of spirits visiting the mausoleum became vastly different. 

One could see non-human spirits more often than before, and this also delighted the shamans. 

More and more independent shamans came to do business with the spirits through the mausoleum. 

The Shaman Guild also made a long-term contract with Ainsley to bring their members to experience the new environment. 

During this busy one month, Ainsley made a special place for the Godfather spirit at the center of the hall, near the flagpole. 

Many people could see the Godfather, but couldn't clearly see his condition. 

At the same time, many spirits and shamans were employed to protect the Godfather secretly. There were also missions to hunt down the exorcists, just like what Ainsley planned to do. 

By now, many shamans were aware of the exorcists' existence, and they diligently tried to suppress the pitiful exorcists. 

All of this made the exorcists unable to approach the Godfather to kill him. 

Thus, for a month, the Godfather peacefully recuperated. He was still in a deep coma, but his wounds were healing at a faster rate than before. 

Ainsley just recently discovered that the more spirits there were, the mausoleum's magical materials were also stimulated to produce more spiritual energy. 

Still, none of the spirits dared to absorb them greedily. 

They all knew that the owner dedicated the excess to accelerate the Godfather's healing process. 

A month passed by, and the mausoleum already became a popular 'market' for the shamans and the spirits. 

During this one month, Ainsley didn't forget to nurture future shamans for the Sloan Family. 

She recruited many orphans from the previous illegal businesses that she robbed and carefully took care of the orphans. 

She put almost all the orphans under the spirits' nurturing, and the majority of them had a high potential to be shamans. 

As for the rest, they all slowly awakened various special abilities thanks to Ainsley's careful arrangement. 

Of course, to see a 3-year-old toddler taking care of children older than her was something weird, but the orphans didn't think so. 

By now, many orphans or unfortunate children already took Ainsley as their fairy Godmother, their one and only saviour. 

Her reputation spread even further, and her way of stimulating the children to awaken abilities caught many people's eyes. 

A few months passed by, and Ainsley conquered another territory full of mineral mines. 

With this, she made sure that her family could produce weapons again and embarked on the journey of the weapon-selling business. 

At the same time, she also went to visit the Xocolet Lake at the Crimson Lily Region, and within a month, she successfully obtained that territory. 

Thanks to Zilla and her ability to communicate with beasts and monsters, Ainsley made a peaceful agreement with the local natives. 

By then, her family became the first one to ever make a connection with the beasts and monsters without using force. 

Oh, of course, at first, Ainsley had to rely on Zilla to make the beasts and monsters surrender, but after that, her negotiating and ambassador skills were equally good. 

She successfully claimed the Xocolet Lake area to be her family's territory, including all the wild beasts and monsters residing around the lake. 

Time passed by quickly, and they slowly approached the end of the year. It was during this time that the mafia society announced ground-breaking news. 

"The high-ranking family advancement event this year is going to be a tournament!" 

"The mid-ranking families eligible to advance in rank have to join a tournament to prove their worth!" 

The sudden news caught everyone off guard. 

After all, in the past, the mafia council never made a tournament to filter those who could be considered a high-ranking mafia family. 

However, now, they unexpectedly held a national tournament. 

Yes, it was a national tournament that forced all the high-ranking family candidates to eliminate each other! 

A new storm is brewing, and the Sloan Family has to persist.
