GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 2121: Planning A Heist.

They knew what was going on when the mark began to burn and they weren't surprised by its reaction. They knew that it was a sign that they had done something that doesn't align with the oath they took when they became lamp bearers.

It is a warning for now. The burning brand won't let them sleep or have peace of mind because of what they have done. This is to give them the opportunity to rectify their offense and correct their mistakes.

But the consequences will get worse if they continue to ignore the warning. The pain will get so bad that they will be tortured by it day and night. Soon it will get so bad that they will be doing anything to resolve it or kill themselves to end the pain.

This is the foundation of the lamp bearers as an organization. Every member of the group has to be upright and uphold the laws of righteousness, or they will be held accountable.

In this case, the offense they have committed is enslaving people. It wouldn't have been a problem if they had enslaved these people so that they could subdue them and hand them over to the authorities for punishment. But they didn't do that.

They enslaved these people without the intention to bring them to justice. That's just wrong. Their behavior is unbecoming of a lamp bearer.

The brand can't tell their intentions. But it can tell that they enslaved people and then went home instead of going to report the crew to their superior.

Maybe it misunderstood something, or maybe they forgot their oath, or maybe they made a mistake. There are a lot of reasons why they aren't doing the right thing now. This is why the brand hasn't decided to burn them to death yet.

The brand is giving them a chance to make things right. But they don't intend to do that.

Instead of going to report to someone, they chose to activate the ultimate ability of the pathway of undying. This caused the brand to detach from them for a while.

After a second when the ability was turned off, they attached the brand back to themselves. But there was no pain anymore.

The brand had lost its connection to them and had even forgotten about them. It was as if they just swore the oath and received the brand. This resolved the problem, but they weren't happy.

Legion-1 grumbled to the others, "I can't wait to be free of this thing. It is too dangerous to keep around. It is spying on us, and it might draw the attention of the god of justice."

Legion-3 consoled him. "It won't be for long now. We will take the lamp bearers for all that we can and then run away."

That did console Legion-1. In fact, his mood became so much better that he smiled. All of them did.

They don't plan to stay with the lamp bearers for long. In fact, they are currently planning a heist on the lamp bearers.

The heist is currently in the information-gathering stage. They still don't know what they want to steal yet, but they know that it isn't something they can buy with money.

They have a lot of options as to what that might be. But as usual, they are not content with something small. They want to go out with a bang. That's why they planned to ally with the Silver Mirror Black Market and the Ivory family to attack the lamp bearers together.

Those were just thoughts for their plan. Instead of relying on others, they wanted to rely on themselves first. They wanted to take things slow and use the lamp bearers to accumulate their strength first.

But now that they have tools that they can use to do what would be dangerous for them, they have decided to be bolder with their plans. It can be said that they have become greedy again.

Thinking about what they could achieve put them in a good mood. It literally put a smile on their face.

They may be greedy, but they haven't let that blind them. At the very least, they don't plan to put themselves in any danger during the whole heist.

This doesn't mean that they are not at risk. What they are about to do is still risky. Which is why they have outlined the minimum things that are worth it for them to risk themselves.

There are four things that can be gained from robbing the lamp bearers. The first one is divine flesh. The second are divine artifacts. The third is control of the spirit spring. The fourth and final thing is knowledge.

They have their eyes mainly on knowledge and divine artifacts because they are categories of things that can't be bought with money. Apart from that, they will settle for divine flesh. fгeewebnovёl.com

As for the control of the spirit spring, they have no interest in holding onto it permanently. It is because unless controlling the spirit spring is done in secret, it will only bring endless trouble.

If other godclads and even lamp bearers know that control of the spirit spring has changed hands, they will all come to Ivory Town to rectify that problem. At that point, they would either have to run and give up the spirit spring or stand and fight for it.

Those will be their only options because they can't take the spirit spring with them. This consideration is why they are not in a rush to do anything.

They plan to work as lamp bearers, gathering information and infiltrating their ranks before they execute any heist. They won't do anything rash until they find something worth stealing.

Be that as it may, it still put a smile on their face to think about what they could achieve. This thought was in their head when they returned home.

The first thing they did after getting home was use up the energy waters they had in their possession to practice. They wanted to practice and raise their mastery of their divine abilities quickly.
