Chapter 5941
Author: Lord Leaf
Instead, they split all the illegal transactions and gave them to those seemingly unrelated puppet gangs below. In secret, they continuously pushed those gangs to expand their influence in New York and even across the entire East Coast, aiming to increase their power and overall illegal income.

Meanwhile, the Zanos’ public face, led by this generation's head of the family, Antonio, was doing its best to whitewash its identity and ingratiate itself with high society.

Antonio knew very well that the higher echelons of society needed tools like the mafia. However, their hypocrisy meant they wouldn't allow any open cooperation with the mafia. This meant that for a mafia family to get their attention, the first thing they needed to do was to cleanse themselves.

To put it simply, what high society needed now wasn't something hidden under the bed, like a night pot. They needed something they could openly display in the bathroom, which was clean and odorless like a toilet.

    That was not all, as a hand seal would require either the little finger or the thumb to be withdrawn first or last, depending on what they needed, along with a strict angle and distance between every finger. The slightest mistake in the sequence would leave the hand seal completely ineffective.At the same time, the radiant specks were starting over from the first hand seal after finishing the full sequence.Charlie kept watching, focused in case he missed any details.Hence, after standing in the snow for more than an hour, when Charlie was finally confident that he had gotten the hand seals down to every last detail in his mind, the radiant specks began to fade from the skies.Still, it took another twenty minutes for the aurora to reform, once again a gorgeous glowing curtain of curtain floating up in the skies.Through it all, Vera had been trying to identify the hand seals described by Charlie, but she was like an innocent child who couldn't grasp the faintest idea of what th

    With Charlie's hint, Vera studied the skies and observed the radiant specks, but she couldn't find any pattern because there were just too many flickering at the same time.Eventually, she admitted, "I don't think there's a pattern, Mr. Wade, let alone hands…" Without knowing what one was looking for, it was always inevitably difficult to see it.That was when Charlie suddenly exclaimed, "Look, it's changing again!"Vera quickly looked up, keeping her eyes wide and never blinking once, but she still couldn't find any pattern even as she watched the radiant speck.On the other hand, the hand patterns were clear from Charlie's perspective—to him, the radiant specks were like drones used to form patterns in the air according to a preset program. This was the eighth hand gesture he had seen thus far, and he soon realized what it all meant: it was a set of hand seals.As it turned out, there were hand seals in all major religions, where the fingers and palms were worked into specif

    Charlie smiled wryly. "It's the size of my head. Carrying it around is just inconvenient. I left it in Aurous Hill, safe away from prying eyes."Vera nodded. "It's a cauldron, not a ring… So what could be affecting the aurora?"Charlie shrugged. "The Earth's magnetic field?""Not possible. Auroras just don't shift like that…" Vera shook her head and suddenly exclaimed, "Wait, it's changing again!"Charlie looked up and saw that the radiant vortex was suddenly split in four like a cake, while the specks of light looked like the stars had begun to gather toward the center.Everything seemed to move quickly with every passing moment, the density of the vortex eventually growing and forming two criss-crossed Z's up in the skies.Vera's expression was extremely horrified, and she murmured, "Oh… It reminds me of a certain symbol!"Charlie had to agree that it looked like the ancient symbol in the form of an equal-armed cross, with each arm continuing at a right angle, used especially

    Hearing Vera, Charlie ignored his splitting headache and looked in the direction of the aurora.As if controlled by some external force, the glowing wave that seemed to split the skies vertically suddenly started to move, spiraling like a vortex. And on the edges, the wave split out into tiny particles—specks of light that spun along with the vortex, revolving around the center of the vortex.Even as Charlie stared, astounded, Vera exclaimed, "Those little specks look just like countless fireflies, don't you think?"Charlie nodded. "Yes. At first, it was a wave covering the entire sky, but now, it's splitting into fireflies—that's a truly apt way to put it. They all look alive, flying around the center… Although I'm not sure why it's behaving that way at all."Vera's expression was melancholic. "Well, it looks like fireflies, but it's not—the aurora is a wave of photons, and it's like a wave composed of countless particles of water… But water should always flow along the wave—that'

    The royal chalet stood atop the gentle slope of the top of the hill in the north of Lyngen, with a small road that led to the foot of the mountain, with steel fencing encircling the bottom of the hill itself.Charlie took out the key given to him by Susan as he alighted and opened the gates on the fence before driving all the way up the hill.As the picturesque hill looked just like a bowl placed upside down, and its outline seemed drawn with delicate lines, the drive upward was smooth and steady.As for the chalet, it was a simplistic wooden building, and it was also enormous, housing a huge parlor, nine bedrooms, a study, and a dining hall. It could definitely accommodate up to thirty people!After parking the SUV at the front, Charlie opened the door.Although no one lived here, the royal family had gone out of their way to air and clean it regularly, so every room was spotless. The dry weather also helped, so there were no strange odors.There was a real hearth parlor too, un

    Vera's words offered Charlie some insight as he mused to himself thoughtfully.While Marcius has been obsessed with immortality all his life, he still had some lingering sentiments about worldly matters. Sure, he had gained enlightenment, but there was also no doubt that he had gone out of his way to return, fulfilling his old promise to the Jensons. It was a shame that the man whom he owed had died before he returned.Later, even after he had retreated to seclusion in Mount Tason, he still couldn't help intervening with worldly matters. When he saw Vera's father and Fleur being hunted by the Qing forces, he had decided he should help just because he was Oskian.In that sense, when he told Vera's father he was giving the latter the ring in hopes that he would make Oskia great again, Marcius did mean every word of it. He definitely knew that the ring had the power that could help restore their overthrown dynasty, and not just by teleportation.With that in mind, he asked Vera, "Well
