Chapter 596 - "Sure Of It"
When Ainsley knew that the exorcists were originally trying to kill the Godfather, the first thing she thought was–
Who the heck contacted the exorcists and made them think of killing the Godfather?
She's not an idiot. She knew that there was no way the exorcists would suddenly have this thought.
After all, according to Zev, they're mostly under the government's wings. If they made a move, it must be the government issuing them to do so.
But is it really the government that first had this thought?
Ainsley didn't believe so. The government wouldn't gain a lot of benefits by killing the Godfather...but the other mafia families, especially the 7 sacred families, would.
The Godfather was the Sloan Family's trump card.
If he died, the Sloan Family that was the thorn on the seven sacred families' side would weaken, and they could naturally eliminate all kinds of future threats.
So...all of this should start from the 7 sacred families!
Ainsley was correct, but she wasn't entirely correct. After all, the 7 sacred families only wanted to heavily injure the Godfather.
They never wanted to kill him.
But the Golden Scale, a part of the government forces, sneakily told the government about this opportunity and the government agreed to kill the Godfather spirit.
Not to mention that the exorcists were all happy to kill one of the greatest spirits in this world. It would be their best achievement if they could kill the Godfather spirit.
That's how things worked, but Ainsley only knew about the 7 sacred families being the ones inciting all this tragedy.
The government also took part, but the 7 sacred families were the ones benefiting the most if the Godfather died.
'This mausoleum is also under a high-ranking family affiliated to one of the 7 sacred families, right?'
This high-ranking family didn't have a sacred beast or anyone that could get the beast' recognition, but they had many excellent shamans and spirits backing them up.
It was all thanks to the mausoleum and also because the family had a shamans bloodline in their veins. The family was already famous as an influential shaman family.
Otherwise, how could they whip out 50 or so shamans in one go just to fight Ainsley when the majority of shamans joined the shaman guild instead of joining the mafia family?
Thus, they must be the one that was the most afraid of Ainsley's plan to invade the mausoleum. They didn't want to lose the tomb that didn't even belong to them.
Shameless!
Ainsley gritted her teeth as she carefully digested the information she got about the exorcists and all the masterminds behind the Godfather's assassination.
Even though the Godfather didn't die, he's still in a coma, and no one knew when he would wake up.
Ainsley wanted nothing but to get her revenge right away!
However, she knew that it was illogical and such a rash decision.
No matter what, her troops had suffered, and they couldn't participate in another war against the government or the 7 sacred families.
Plus, they had been defending this mausoleum from the other families' greedy gazes.
They might have placed their family flag onto the pole, but other families could do that if the mausoleum wasn't guarded.
Thus, Ainsley could do nothing but solidify her influence over the mausoleum before thinking about things like revenge and such.
Not to mention that they still lacked two more territories to be eligible to advance into a high-ranking family level…
Ainsley closed her eyes tightly and sighed.
[We will take revenge on those who harmed the Godfather...but not now.]
When Zev heard her words, he also sighed in relief.
[That's wise, host.]
After all, he's also afraid that Ainsley would be blinded by revenge that she would just abandon everything that she did for the family and end up ruining her own family.
For now, all he wanted was for Ainsley to remain safe until the Godfather woke up.
The Godfather couldn't help Ainsley use the blood manipulation ability anymore, and Ainsley, with a calm mind, couldn't possibly use that ability without the Godfather possessing her.
That one time when Ainsley used the blood ability without the Godfather possessing her was just because she was driven to the edge and descended into madness.
Now...she couldn't. That's why she had to be more careful!
[Right, stop talking about the Godfather. Host, what's with your soul?] Zev diverted the conservation from the Godfather to Ainsley.
As a system's spirit, Zev was naturally sensitive to souls, and he could sense that something was wrong with Ainsley's soul.
But he couldn't figure out what went wrong. He couldn't just peek into Ainsley's soul without a certain soul-related ability, after all.
At Zev's question, Ainsley stiffened before sighing.
[Back then, I was not in my right mind, so I didn't know, but after I woke up, I vaguely remember that before I fainted, something seemed to attack my soul…]
Ainsley put her tiny palm on her chest and furrowed her eyebrows.
[It was as if someone shot my soul with special ability bullets. Since then, I fell into a coma, and I had a dream…]
Ainsley told Zev the things she saw in her dream, about the original Ainsley's soul coming to her consciousness, etc.
When Zev heard these things, he almost jumped from the Godfather's thigh.
[What?! That's impossible– ] Zev raised his voice but suddenly dragged his words.
[I mean. Emmm, D-dave is also a transmigrator like you, and he took the body of a 10-year-old boy. Until the end of his life, the original soul never returned.]
Zev stammered a bit as he looked at Ainsley.
[The things you experience must be an illusion!]
He's sure of it!
