Chapter 114 - A Corrupt Organization?

Closing the panel, Tatsuma took out a letter. This was given to him by Le Fay yesterday, information about the Old Satan Faction.

Although he already knew that the Old Satan Faction would attack the Three Factions Conference, compared to the original story, their lineup this time was much more amazing.

To maximize the benefits, he had to make some preparations.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a week went by.

Tatsuma enjoyed a rare period of peace, focusing on his training and doing some small research every day.

The deeper application of Time energy and the analysis of Evil Pieces progressed steadily.

In terms of traits, after distributing the sealing tools, Akatsuki's efficiency in capturing Cursed Spirits and the like greatly increased.

Coupled with cooperation with the Lion King Agency, they cracked down on criminal gangs and terrorists like rogue magic users.

In just one week, the cells of the Akatsuki Headquarters were filled, and the warehouse was also piled high with sealing tools.

Thanks to this, Tatsuma, who had been idling for a week, had to personally come to the Akatsuki Headquarters to clear the inventory.

"Indeed, there is strength in numbers."

Walking out of the underground prison, Tatsuma, who had cleared the spirits and criminals, let out a sigh.

After one round of clearing, he had gained a total of 233 white traits, 110 green traits, and 6 blue traits.

Compared to the previous hard daily routine of running around and grinding for traits little by little, the efficiency of collecting traits is much higher now.

After a quick glance at the new traits, Tatsuma closed the panel and looked behind him and asked, "With so many Cursed Spirits captured, someone should have accumulated enough contribution to purchase an awakening spot, right?"

"Yes, there are 5 people in total."

Sho took out five files and handed them to Tatsuma.

Akatsuki uses a contribution point system. Capturing Cursed Spirits, Evil Spirits, and terrorists earns corresponding contribution points based on the target's strength.

Besides exchanging for things like magic, equipment, and information, contribution points can also be used to purchase awakening spots.

When he first created Akatsuki, Tatsuma had shown the power to help people awaken and become stronger. Most members of Akatsuki are constantly carrying out missions with the goal of purchasing an awakening spot.

After a week, the group with the highest mission efficiency has already saved up enough contribution points.

Taking the list from Sho's hand, Tatsuma looked at the first file.

[Applicant: Sho Suzuki]

"?"

Staring at the first file for two seconds, Tatsuma asked, "Sho, did you take bribes?"

"Uh... I did receive some, but I also contributed to the organization, Leader, please believe me."

"Of course I believe you."

Tatsuma nodded slightly and opened the second file.

[Applicant: Meredith Ordinton]

"After Meredith-san created the sealing tools, she gained many followers and collected a lot of contribution points from this."

[Applicant: Toichiro Suzuki]

"Cough! My old man used his branch manager authority to get some first-hand information. The several Class A wanted criminals you just killed were captured by him."

[Applicant: MG Levi]

"Serafall-san suddenly came to Akatsuki a few days ago. After joining, she obtained a large amount of contribution points from others through intimidation."

[Applicant: Satoru Gojo]

"Satoru-san joined Akatsuki a few days ago, just like Serafall-san. He sponsored a lot of funds in the name of the Gojo clan head and spent money to buy a lot of contribution points."

"...I can see it now, each of you has unique skills."

Tatsuma sighed and began to consider whether to change the person managing Akatsuki.

At this rate of development, Akatsuki will become a corrupt organization in at most three months, full of shady dealings.

Seemingly sensing Tatsuma's thoughts, Sho immediately said, "Leader, you have to believe me. I really am trying my best, it's just that the situation in Akatsuki is too complicated."

Can he be blamed?

Toichiro: His biological father.

Meredith: Suspected boss's wife.

Serafall: Satan.

Satoru: The largest shareholder of Akatsuki.

Each of these people has a huge background and terrifying strength, he simply cannot manage them.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance."

Tatsuma didn't really fire Sho, but after a little thought, he came up with a solution.

"Later, help me send out a notice prohibiting the private trading and collection of contribution points. The only way to obtain contribution points is by carrying out missions, and do not suppress the enthusiasm of lower-level personnel."

"Received."

Sho breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he couldn't manage Satoru and the others, Tatsuma could. As long as Tatsuma was willing to give the order, things would be much easier.

Sho asked, "Leader, when are you planning to set the time for the awakening ceremony?"

"We won't hold it this time. Using you few as examples would easily dampen the enthusiasm of others."

Tatsuma chose a green trait and gave it to Sho.

Each of these people is involved in shady dealings, holding an awakening ceremony would just be adding to the troubles of ordinary workers.

"You don't need to worry about Meredith, I'll handle it after I get home tonight."

"As for Satoru and Toichiro, have them come to the Akatsuki Headquarters tomorrow."

"What about Serafall-san?"

"I'm going to see her now."

Tatsuma raised his hand and summoned a teleportation magic array.

It was about time to return to Kuoh Town to prepare for the Three Factions Conference.
