Chapter 433: Chapter 410 “Big Boss” Moore

In Nasir City, there is an ancient and solemn mansion, just a few kilometers away from the famous Fischer Manor.

The elderly and extraordinary leader of the “Dagger Brotherhood,” Moore, stood quietly on the spacious balcony.

His not so tall figure was concealed by the gray curtain woven by the torrential rain, emanating a mysterious and ineffable authority.

Raindrops fell around him like pearls off a broken string, harshly striking the stone pavement, splashing countless fine and rapid droplets, as nature displayed its irresistible force and wildness at this moment.

Moore, dressed in a well-fitted dark suit with a coat of the same color, had his lapels fluttering lightly with the occasional strong wind, yet his composure and determination remained unshaken.

His features were stern and profound, and those eyes that seemed to see into people’s hearts were now piercing through the dense rain curtain, gazing at the blurred scenery swallowed by the storm.

Moore stood in silence, his aged fingers trembling slightly, a side effect of the failed promotion ritual.

The ritual to become the “Spirit of Sanctuary” had failed.

That was bad news.

But the good news was that he had not died during the ritual—instead, he had survived.

“Dagger Brotherhood.”

It was one of the many forces under the Dawn Church, having a history of several decades, initially formed by the slum dwellers of Nasir Town.

It was originally just a small gang, with its initial members merely Moore and his two brothers, the three siblings.

Now, the “Dagger Brotherhood” has become a large gang presence spread across the East Coast, having devoured all other gangs big and small with ease thanks to the support from the Fischer family behind the scenes.

He was Grandma Narda’s eldest son, with high intelligence and skill; but most importantly, Moore was a man who emphasized rules and order.

“Rules are the foundation of everything.”

That was what Moore said, the most popular saying within the Dagger Brotherhood.

Therefore, he could be chosen by the Lord of the Lost to follow the Path of World Order.

However, it gradually dawned on the members of the Dawn Church that the Path of World Order was definitely not an easy path—if someone like Vanessa had their principles completely broken, it might even become impossible to ascend the next step.

Deep in his heart, Moore also knew that, at times, whether someone could go far on certain Paths depended much on the era and the position one held.

If not for the frequent wars in Cyart but rather a relatively peaceful country, those Extraordinary Exponents on Paths of Conquest, Shadow, and Calamity would also struggle to ascend.

And if not for having the support of the Fischer family, which controlled Cyart, the Path of Authority would not be easy for people like Christine and the others.

And Vanessa was unlucky in one respect: her principle was a “heart of justice,” and unless she completely adhered to her principle, she would be unable to fully integrate into the pragmatically inclined Fischer family.

“Vanessa…”

Moore sincerely believed Vanessa to be a great person.

She would actually sacrifice her ideals and principles for the Fischer family and the Dawn Church, giving up the chance to live a longer life.

Although Vanessa broke her own ideals and principles, Moore still respected her.

“You said a few years ago that you couldn’t ascend the next step, that I have become the fastest on this Path of World Order…”

“But do I really still have a chance?”

Just then, lightning and thunder appeared simultaneously!

“Boom!”

Moore was pondering the Fischer family’s next move and how the Dagger Brotherhood would steady itself amidst the storm, continuing to lead its members forward.

His figure in the storm seemed like an unshakeable lighthouse.

The Dagger Brotherhood, which had been under Moore’s reign for decades, had weathered many storms, as he had done many things for the Fischer family, especially those that lurked in the shadows, which were more suitable for the Dagger Brotherhood to handle.

These tasks included but were not limited to collecting resources, intelligence, surveillance, probing, managing the black market, murder, kidnapping, and so on…

Nowadays, the Dagger Brotherhood had over three thousand peripheral members in East Coast Province, more than five hundred core members, and over thirty executives; they spread like tentacles into every corner of the city, steadfastly aiding the Dawn Church in penetrating society’s lower echelons, while all core members had joined the Dawn Church as Proselytes.

Because the Dagger Brotherhood had established “Moore Security Company,” Moore was also known as “Big Boss” by many.

He was highly regarded, and often times, even those Extraordinary nobility with their own territories, or even Viscounts, tended to give him face.
