Chapter 141
The slums of Aspis.
Under the silent tolerance of the Freemason, various underground forces were active here…
Yet, despite being vicious and having established solid foundations, they had failed to seize control of the local underworld.
The reason was simple: there existed an individual born in these very slums who possessed absurd strength.
His name was Martin Bösehaver.
An orphan raised by the old man at the toy workshop, Bösehaver, Martin began to dominate the back alleys after his guardian’s death. Later, he used the culture of ‘Conquest Battles’ to subjugate the underworld of Aspis.
When an event occurred where a single man’s fists settled matters that global underground organizations couldn’t easily manage, those organizations were collectively thrown into a panic.
At first, they ignored the rules of the Conquest Battle, launching group ambushes and using lethal weapons in duels.
Martin slaughtered them all without a hint of mercy.
This led to a period of chaos.
Fortunately, that period did not last long. One organization stepped forward to support the rules of the Conquest Battle.
That organization was the Freemason.
The expansion of underground forces was a golden opportunity for them to move black money. They did not want to see the situation devolve into a mess where such opportunities would vanish.
In that sense, Slinger supported the Conquest Battle rules established by Martin.
Following that, other underground forces began to comply with the rules as well.
