"Manir, go and bring this person back."
"Uncle Hamson, this man is our main target in Los Angeles, right? Didn't you ask Shaq and Arsene to take care of this?"
Manil was Hamson's nephew and could be considered Hamson's trusted aide.
Manuel's parents had passed away a long time ago.
Hamson had raised Manil himself.
Moreover, even his magic was taught by Hamson step by step.
"There was a small accident. This Chinese should be a spiritualist too. Shaq and Arsene are missing. They've probably met with misfortune. Be careful. I don't trust the others."
"Got it, Uncle Hamson."
"Also, have you found anything about the thing I asked you to find out?"
"I've heard about the local spiritualists in L.A., but none of them are doing well. Plus, the people here don't really believe in magic, so it's not easy to find a big fish," Marnier said. "Uncle Hamson, are we really going to develop here? Why don't we move to a place with a better foundation in the spiritual world? "
Hamson naturally knew what Manuel was talking about.
Why was North America a magic desert?
It wasn't just because of the short history.
It was also because of the social structure here.
People preferred to believe in the power of money.
That was why they didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
If people didn't have faith, there were even fewer spiritualists who could awaken.
But why did most of the descendants of spiritualists awaken?
Because they knew about the existence of magic, it was easier for them to awaken. They even had their own ways and experiences.
Coupled with the fact that they didn't believe it, it would be extremely difficult for any organization from the other world to take root here.
Hamson sighed. "Do you think I don't want to? But most of the places in the spirit world that you mentioned have been occupied by other forces, and they've been developing for decades, or even centuries. What right do you think we have to go there and fight for territory with them? Only in North America, where most of the other regions are still uninhabited, can we take root and sprout in such an environment. "
The Crown of Immortality was founded in London, but London's spiritual world was already saturated.
Regardless of whether it was a group or an individual spiritualist, there were countless of them.
Although the Crown of Immortality was registered in London, it couldn't find any room for development in London.
Occasionally, they would discover one or two newly awakened geniuses. Just as they were about to rope them in, they discovered that those awakened ones had already contacted other groups.
If they continued waiting, the Immortal Crown would be like a newborn baby that would be strangled in the cradle before it could fully develop.
That was why Hamson wanted to find an ideal place to develop again.
However, there was no such thing as an ideal place in this world.
In this era, the spiritual world was actually a beneficiary of modern civilization.
This was because in the past, there might have been a large area with no magic. Perhaps this place would never have a spiritualist set foot here.
But in this era, as long as there were people, there would be spiritualists.
There was a large flow of people in every region, and the mobility of spiritualists had also increased.
It was no longer difficult to find another area with no magic. It was completely impossible.
That was why Hamson decided to develop in North America.
Naturally, North America had to choose a city with the best economic conditions.
In North America, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington were all very good places.
At the very least, in terms of the level of development of the local area, even spiritualists would flock to these few internationally renowned metropolises.
However, Washington was the political center of America. Coupled with the cautious attitude of the American authorities, it was difficult to allow an uncontrolled supernatural group to take root in Washington.
There were also two or three large-scale supernatural groups in New York.
If the Crown of Immortality went there, not to mention taking root.
It would probably be expelled from New York.
On the contrary, Los Angeles was unexpectedly suitable for Hamson.
Although the atmosphere here was a little bad, at least it gave him hope of developing and growing.
If they relied on the marriage between spiritualists, the number of awakened descendants definitely wouldn't be enough.
For example, when the previous generation lived in seclusion, there were hundreds of people. By the time the fifth generation came out, there were less than a hundred people left.
Therefore, people outside the group had to awaken and join to maintain the number of people in a supernatural group.
"Uncle Hamson, we have three choices if we want to stay here and develop."
"Tell me about it."
"The first choice is to join the government," Manil said.
Hamson frowned. He didn't like to be in contact with the government.
When they were in London, people from the government had taken the initiative to contact them, trying to make them part of the government.
At that time, Hamson had already considered it, but the people of the government gave them all kinds of intolerable conditions.
That was the main reason why Hamson planned to move.
"What else?"
"A gang. We control a gang as a source of funding for the Crown of Immortality. It's risky, but as long as we hide it well, there's still room for maneuver."
Hamson wasn't very satisfied. "Is there any other way?"
"Find a businessman and become his helper," Manil said. "But in order to provide us with sufficient funds and opportunities for development, we need a big businessman," Marnier said.
Although the Crown of Immortality had chosen fewer than a hundred people, their expenses were actually not small.
Plus, their plan was to stay in Los Angeles, which would cost at least tens of millions of dollars.
To be under the command of a big businessman, they had to create enough value.
It was easy to find one or two big businessmen who needed magic power, but difficult to find someone who needed it long-term.
Of course, they could also find a business and rely on themselves.
But this seemed to be the best way, and also the most impossible choice.
Relying on them, who had no modern business experience and all their knowledge was from the previous era, to do business.
It would probably be a waste of money no matter how much it was.
"But before that, we need to get enough money from Madaiko Pavich," Hamson said. "He doesn't need us much anymore, so this request for help might be the last time we work together. Plus, he has some dirt on us, and we also have a lot of dirt on him. If we choose to stay in Los Angeles and cut ties with him, I'm afraid it'll be hard for us to coexist peacefully. So, instead of waiting for us to turn against him in the future, it's better to make him lose the chance to make a move as soon as possible."
