"Are you sure that was a good idea, boss?"
"Maybe"
I look at Luca and shrug.
"Maybe it is not. However, I know the angels will keep their word. Our people do not like the church and heaven. They never help our people, or at least do something meaningful. However, because of my words, they will try their best to fix the problem."
"How so?"
"Raguel promised me to fix all the mess, and I don't think he will break his word. The angels might try to use loopholes to do what they want, but the older angels will always follow the direct order from their father. He will carry his promise and prove to our people that heaven is still watching over them."
"And what will we do when they prove themselves?"
"We will accept them. Will we become allies? Maybe, but at the very least, we are good acquaintances when the news of them fixing the mess they left behind, to grief."
"I thought you would reject any non-human other than the Youkai, boss."
"Nah. If I do that, I need to kick Valerie and Gasper, you know? Those cinnamon rolls will be homeless, and imagining them with tears makes my little heart shudder."
Those two know they are adorable, and they weaponize it. They have the people of Vindice wrapped around their fingers. We are lucky they are not spoiled and do not exploit that. I love their cute faces, but I will hate it if they become brats.
"Yeah. Those two are such a cute menace."
"Right? Anyway, we don't need to worry about the church and heaven anytime soon. What we need to worry about is the people from the Underworld."
"The Devil, boss?"
"Devil, Fallen Angels, and even the Grim Reaper."
"Grim Reaper? Hades' errant boys?"
"Yup. They will not attack or get involved with us, but with our relationship with Apollo, the Bone Daddy will monitor us from a distance."
"Will he become a problem?"
"They will not. Hades is not someone who attacks first unless you make him mad. We do nothing. Hades will not do anything but watch us from a distance. However, I cannot say the same with the other two."
"Yes. I already received the news of agents from Grigori snooping around our country."
"Oh? How many of them?"
"At the moment, there are seven of them in Bucharest. Two of them disguise themselves as a family that opens a bakery. Three of them try to create a new gang to take hold of the criminal underworld. The last two are magicians who will soon enter Vindice."
"Kill the one trying to create a new gang. We don't need them to try to create problems for us. If they create a gang, the others will think we are weak enough not to kill them."
"I will do that."
"As for the rest… Let's see what they want. If they are only trying to gather information about our faction, let them do it, but keep an eye on them. If they want to gather information about our weapons, powers, or weaknesses… kill them all. Leave no one alive."
"Understood. I shall leave the Uzumakis to watch over them. What about the devils, boss? We are not an ally but have a relatively good relationship with them. Shall we accept them in our land? Lady Leviathan is asking us to let them visit our city."
I want to reject her, but at the same time, I don't want them as our enemy. The Anime and Light Novel characters might show a lot of the 'good' devil, but real life is not that bright. A lot of the devil nobles are assholes.
They love to turn any people they fancy into a devil and make sure the newly reincarnated devil obeys their orders because of the threat of death.
A deserter will be hunted down and killed.
"Tell Lady Leviathan that we will accept guests, but we will watch their move. Tell her that we will watch their every move and they are forbidden from doing any magic-related thing."
"You want them to be treated as a Mundane Guest, boss?"
"Yes. Speak with Martha and create a law that ensures they cannot do anything to our people, but the most important one is to forbid them from reincarnating our people using their Evil Piece."
"I understand. We shall create the law and make sure Lady Leviathan knows about it."
"Perfect! When you are done, prepare for our departure to Remnant, okay? Tomorrow is the final, and I don't want to miss the chance of going all out."
"Just make sure you do not use your power from that world. You are still a wanted person, after all."
I click my tongue in annoyance. Oh, well. At least I can still use my summon. I want to test how Gamabunta fares against the Grimm Wyvern.

|3rd POV|
Vale hums a little as he slurps the ramen while looking at the footage of the battle on the computer in front of him. He and his team have already taken over one of the compromised security groups in the Amity Colosseum.
The fights are not that good in his opinion. There are a lot of openings, and the fighters use their moves in an inefficient way.
The only person that Vale loves to watch is Pyrrha Nikos. She will use flashy movements, but he knows that she does it because of her position as a celebrity. When she is done showing a flashy movement against her opponent, she will immediately switch to her real fighting style.
It is a combination of a fast moment and a sudden burst attack. She moves like lightning, fast, and hits hard. She can be a relentless fighter who does not let her enemy do a counterattack, but in his eyes, Pyrrha does not have the stamina to do it in the long run.
Fighting against someone with massive stamina will be her downfall if she uses this fighting style.
Anyway, he is waiting for his cue to move. He cannot move too fast or too slow in this battle because he wants to reap the most profit out of this. When he is done, his force will retreat, or at least the force that is not known to Ozpin and the others. He must wait for them to be done taking everything they need and want.
Vale smiles when he hears an explosion happening in the distance. He eats the rest of the ramen and leaves the stadium. He has a headmaster to rescue and bad guys to defeat.
Without anyone noticing, he manages to slip through the chaos and stand on the edge of the Amity Colosseum. He can see they are hundreds of meters above the ground, but he jumps off the flying colosseum without hesitation.
While falling down, he creates a handseal.
"Transparent Escape Technique"
A second later, he goes invincible and activates his silver king power to stop his fall using his gravity power.
He slowly lands on the ground and looks at Beacon. Before he departs, he summons the Sword of Damocles for the others, and when it is done, he dashes forward. Using all his power, he runs through Vale City and through the forest to reach Beacon.
While running, he absorbed the Natural Energy and entered Sage Mode, increasing his speed even more. It did not take long before he arrived at Beacon. However, when he arrives at Beacon, he can see that Grimm has overrun it.
Sadly for him, his jutsu does not mask his emotion, and the Grimm notices him immediately.
"Tch. I don't have time to fight against all of you."
With a wave of his hand, he created a wave of gravity that hit every Grimm coming at him. This attack creates a point of gravity in the middle of the targets and crushes the targets from within. All the Grimms get crushed from within and turn to dust from the immense gravity.
Vale dashes through the opening and even dodges them. Sadly, the Grimms are relentless, and he needs to fight his way out.
When he enters the CCT, he can release a sigh and continue his journey without Grimm holding him back. He follows the corridor and senses people on top of the tower. Vale releases a sigh and prepares to go to the roof, but stops when he senses a small life sign at the end of the room.
He runs forward and finds Ozpin, bleeding and dying. Without hesitation, he takes out a vial of concentrated Sun Flame, pouring it on Ozpin and watching him heal. Vale nods his head and continues his journey.
Vale City needs Ozpin to ensure it does not go into chaos, and he still wants to ensure the older man fulfills his promise to create an alliance.
When he reaches the roof, Vale can see Cinder about to kill Pyrrha, but before she can do that, he appears next to her and punches her in the head. He can hear her aura shatter in a single hit, and she coughs up blood when she falls to the ground.
"It looks like I am just on time."
