Chapter 118 Establishing a Killer Company
Raphael had no idea that there would be another clue to the ruins in the notebook.
Moreover, the relics and their properties within the ruins were quite abundant, and he began to carefully read the contents of his notes.
Raphael was delighted to discover that the ruins seemed to possess the extraordinary characteristics of "vengeful spirits," so he definitely had to go and see them.
But as he read on, Raphael couldn't help but frown, because the ruins were far too dangerous, and if he went to explore them alone, he might become one of the ruins' most extraordinary features.
We need to find a reliable helper!
Raphael's first thought was of the demigod Dawn Dantes; it would be best if he could lend a hand.
The problem is that Raphael feels he is not very familiar with the other party, and if the other party wants to kill him and take all the spoils after the exploration is completed, Raphael will have no room to resist.
Then Raphael thought: Why not ask Miss Sharon for help as well?
They must be cooperating, but they should also be able to check each other during such operations. What if Miss Sharon also wants the "vengeful spirit" property?
Raphael closed his notebook: There's no rush to continue the general upgrade now; we can wait a bit longer.
However, while there's still time, Raphael should try to contact Dawn Dantes more often and try to get him to owe him another favor so he can ask him to help him acquire the extraordinary properties of a "Wraith." Raphael felt that this wasn't a safe option, but he shouldn't tell him the specifics of the ruins.
We can put the matter of the ruins aside for now. The priority now is to sell off the extraordinary properties we have and use up the potions as soon as possible.
Raphael took a deep breath, preparing not only to digest the living man's potion but also to digest the "serial killer's" potion.
He planned to get manpower from the Aurora Society, then set up an assassin company, become a professional assassin, and make money while also consuming the potion.
After entering the city, Raphael changed to a horse-drawn carriage and first went to see Mr. C, briefly explaining the process of the mission. Then he brought out Ms. S's characteristics and confirmed that the messenger had lost control and died.
Mr. C hadn't expected Raphael to complete the task so quickly. After obtaining the trait, he said, "I will recommend you to the Sage to compete for the position of Divine Envoy."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Currently, including Ms. S who just passed away, there are three vacant positions for Divine Envoys. It is estimated that the selection of new Divine Envoys will begin soon."
Raphael smiled and said, "Thank you."
He then added, "I also found a few extraordinary properties in the ruins, but I have places where I need to spend money—"
Mr. C waved his hand politely: "You can do whatever you want with these spoils. Oh, by the way, come back tomorrow at four o'clock to choose your subordinates."
Before the mission began, Mr. C promised to provide Raphael with three "low-ranking" subordinates.
After finishing their business, Raphael immediately took his leave.
Mr. C watched Raphael leave, sensing that Raphael had been hiding something from him during this mission. But then he glanced at the extraordinary characteristics in front of him and thought, "Let him hide it. As long as he can give his superiors an explanation, that's enough."

Raphael returned to his apartment to rest for a while, and the next morning he took a carriage to visit Dawn Dantes.
He had already thought of the reason for the visit: to talk to the other party about the war and persuade them to prepare to purchase some high-quality assets in the region.
Because he "remembers" that the area will fall in the future, but before it falls, the quality assets in those places will be sold off at extremely low prices, which is a great investment opportunity!
However, upon arriving at Dawn's villa, Raphael learned that the wealthy man had been traveling extensively since the start of the war and rarely returned home.
Somewhat disappointed, Raphael asked his steward to convey his request to see Mr. Dantès before leaving by carriage to his rented factory to continue creating new zombies and then to continue practicing his skills.
Around 3 p.m., Raphael arrived at the townhouse where he had met Mr. C the day before.
After a brief chat, Mr. C led Raphael to the door of a reception room on the second floor.
There were five extraordinary individuals inside, who had been chatting casually. They immediately stood up when Mr. C entered.
Mr. C explained to them that Raphael would select three of them to be his subordinates, and asked them to introduce themselves.
The basic structure of the Aurora Society, from top to bottom, consists of 5 saints, 22 divine messengers, then leaders who obey the saints and leaders who obey the divine messengers, followed by the leaders' subordinates, and finally the peripheral members.
Currently, Raphael is the leader who obeys the divine messenger, and according to the organization's conventions, he usually has 2 to 5 extraordinary subordinates.
However, generally speaking, these subordinates are trained by the leader himself. But Raphael is already Sequence 6 and has the strength of a divine messenger. Mr. C is providing him with subordinates, which can be regarded as a preferential policy of "talent introduction".
Several "low-sequence" extraordinary individuals immediately introduced themselves one by one. Only after becoming Raphael's subordinates did they have official positions within the organization; otherwise, they would have remained as reserve talents and rarely been used.
Raphael spotted the furniture merchant Wagner among them. After they introduced themselves, he quickly selected three subordinates, one of whom was Wagner. The other two subordinates were named Moore and Keco, both of whom were Sequence 9 "Mystics".
Not only did he gain three extraordinary subordinates, but he also developed followers and peripheral members, giving Raphael a considerable number of subordinates at his disposal.
After Raphael made his selection, Mr. C used the souls he had previously "herded" to "hypnotize" the two who were not selected, making them forget that they had been here that day and that they had never met Mr. C.
After thanking Mr. C, Raphael immediately assigned tasks to his three subordinates.
Wagner went to rent a venue, Moore went to recruit people, and Keco went to contact a renovation company.
Wagner asked, "Mr. Collins, what kind of business do we want to start?"
Raphael had already decided. He smiled and said, "We'll call it 'The Mechanic Company'."
Moore asked, "What kind of mechanics do you need me to hire?"
"No, the main purpose is to recruit reception staff; this company is just a front," Raphael said. "I want to start an assassin company."
"They certainly shouldn't be called 'assassins,' but rather 'mechanics.'"
The three subordinates were all stunned: an assassin?
"I know what you're thinking," Raphael said. "Your impression of assassins is that it's a low-class industry, because their clients aren't high-class enough."
"Our assassin company doesn't kill ordinary people; we only kill wealthy businessmen, officials, and nobles. In short, we only take on high-end jobs."
When he was the godfather, he set an example for the gangsters in Backlund. Now it's time to clean up the assassin industry!
