My portable grandfather refreshes every week

The head of the branch family, Olben, thought he had misread it and that what he had received was not intelligence from the mafia, but a novel written by some lunatic.

However, after repeated confirmation, it was discovered that there really was such a psychopathic organization, composed entirely of children from the lower classes. These children harbored deep hatred for gang members and were slaughtering gang members throughout Roland City at lightning speed.

Those gangsters who used to be arrogant in front of the lower classes are now all members of the Jingguan (a type of human settlement) on the road.

In Roland, a large city with a population of about 2.4 million, there are approximately 500,000 gang members, about 1.9 million lower-class prostitutes and others, and about 10,000 nobles.

Now, in less than a day, this gang has swept through several city blocks and massacred more than 5 gang members.

According to the intelligence he had at this time, the organization had expanded to more than 10,000 people, reaching the size of a large gang, and all of them were at least hero-level combatants.

This situation was very difficult for Alban.

"Are they insane? Why would they massacre all the gang members like this? Have those gang members offended them?" he asked his subordinates in bewilderment. "Besides, even if the gangs offended them, shouldn't it only be a few gangs? Are they attacking all gangs indiscriminately?"

"Reporting to the patriarch, all the members of the Akatsuki organization are the children of those low-level prostitutes. They have lived under the oppression of the mafia since childhood, and in their minds... the mafia is the master of the world, and most of them have been persecuted by the mafia to some extent... or have undergone gender reassignment..." The intelligence officer stammered, somewhat incoherently.

He was actually completely bewildered when he received this information, and even felt it was inexplicable. Where did so many heroic-level people from the lower classes suddenly come from?
For them, Hero-level heroes are as common as cabbages, there are as many as they want, and even Legendary-level heroes are not uncommon, there are already dozens. Such a force is not only in their small Roland City, but also in the whole world, it is one of the top gangs.

This world is an absolute high-magic world, where potions and spells can be used freely even by ordinary people, and the power of magic is as ubiquitous as electricity on Earth.

However, in Xue's view, its upper limit and combat performance are not very good.

Spellcasting is very troublesome in this world, so their battles are mainly based on "rituals" and "marks".

A ritual is a pre-arranged environment and formation, and a technique performed under specific circumstances and within a specific timeframe. Imprinting, on the other hand, is a simplified ritual, where mystical power is infused into the body or a corresponding object.

Just like Xue's Divine Descent Technique, which is a ritual, the simplified Divine Descent Technique given to other Akatsuki members later is an imprint.

The difference is that the power of the imprint will be difficult to reach level 3, because it involves sacrificing strength for ease of use.

Therefore, even as the head of the Orburn branch family, he had to treat this gang of over 10,000 people at the second rank and dozens at the third rank with utmost care.

"Master, why are so many hero-level girls suddenly appearing all at once?" the intelligence officer asked.

Meanwhile, Alban silently tapped on the table, wearing glasses and analyzing the situation based on the available intelligence, like a profound scholar.

The biggest difference between these centuries-old nobles and ordinary people lies in their complete knowledge system and wisdom.

He believed that the lower classes of Roland City could gather so many heroic children, but he didn't believe that this little-known Akatsuki organization could possibly gather all the children together.

So there's only one answer: they aren't true hero-level characters at all. Just like the berserk runes that many gangsters use, these girls achieve Tier 2 combat power through specific imprints; they don't actually have any real strength.

Even so, this made the head of the branch of the Alban family gasp in surprise.

He probably guessed everything and had mentally reconstructed and processed the whole situation.

When a small gang was arresting low-level people, one of them suddenly awakened an innate magical technique and killed the corresponding gang member.

His techniques were enhancement-type and could greatly enhance others, so he immediately gathered his group of children and bestowed upon them corresponding imprints, thus gradually expanding the entire gang.

If his guess is correct, then the leader of the Akatsuki organization is terrifyingly powerful. He was able to easily distribute that enhancement imprint to more than 10,000 people, and even make the imprint evolve to a legendary level. This is beyond exaggerated.

He instantly realized the power of the mark and the terrifying nature of the unknown leader of the Akatsuki organization.

Moreover, imprints often come with corresponding side effects; to gain the corresponding power, one must pay the corresponding price.

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, the price of this imprint is very likely... madness?

Alban reviewed the intelligence report again and discovered that many of the individuals mentioned in the report who had their inscriptions promoted to the legendary level were those who, after wiping out an entire gang, shouted things like, "Mother, I've avenged you!", "Sister, did you see that?", or "Father, I sent the XX gang down to see you!" before becoming legendary.

These people usually appear to be more eccentric.

Therefore, he probably guessed that the price of this imprint was one's mental state.

However, this is already an imprint with a negligible cost, which is why it has a higher value for them.

After analyzing this intelligence, he gasped again. The leader of the Akatsuki, the man known as "Xue the Law," was terrifying.

If we don't befriend this young man, we must not let him live. But if we can win him over, his abilities could even elevate the entire Olben family's grassroots level to a new level.

Although it is unknown whether this number of more than 10,000 is his limit, the mere number of 10,000 is enough to tempt the head of this branch family.

"Did you gather any information about the leader of the Akatsuki organization in your intelligence reports?" Olben continued.

“Yes, there are, but they’re really too ordinary…” The intelligence officer handed over another document.

Among them is all the information about Xue Dinglu's original body. Unsurprisingly, he was the son of a prostitute. He didn't even know who his father was. When he was 6 years old, his mother was chosen by lottery to be delivered to aliens. He then started stealing things and rummaging through garbage cans in the red-light district to survive.

They belong to the lowest level of the entire Flower Street ecosystem.

Her only advantage might be that, because of her mother, she is slightly pretty; if she were to take gender-change drugs, she would definitely be a high-quality product.

This person, in less than two days, managed to turn the Akatsuki organization he created into chaos throughout Roland City and create tens of thousands of hero-level henchmen.

Even Olben didn't believe it after seeing this unremarkable information.

But that's exactly what happened; it seemed as if the Akatsuki organization was about to dominate the entire city of Roland.

"Has the leader of Akatsuki not taken the gender-changing drug yet?" the clan head asked.

"According to intelligence, not yet..."

“Perhaps this will be a good opportunity,” Olben said with a smile, then casually added, “Arrange for someone to make contact with the Akatsuki, and have any insignificant maid in your family be given the surname Olben and marry him, while promising him the chance to change his surname to Olben.” This was the arrangement made directly by the occult nobleman.

"By the way, let's choose someone good-looking. The women in Akatsuki are all affected by the sex-changing drug, so she can't be worse than them."

"Yes, Master, I understand." The intelligence officer immediately bowed and said.

While the head of the household remained surprised by the organization, he did not feel that they posed a threat to his position.

No matter how good a prostitute's son is at fighting, he can only ever become a gang leader.

To the nobles, even the leader of the largest gang in Roland City was merely a servant.

He was willing to host a banquet to behead the leader and take the Akatsuki leader as his dog, all because the leader's innate technique was so useful that it made him extremely envious, which gave him the opportunity to be named Orben.

This gave this country bumpkin a chance to rise to the top and become a nobleman, and he should thank us for that.

"Heh, maybe I'm overthinking it. How can a peasant have the courage to refuse to become an aristocrat?" He took off his glasses, rubbed his nose, smiled, and began to imagine his future.

With such a powerful imprint, and more than ten thousand henchmen at the hero level or above, he felt that he could even return to his main family instead of continuing to serve as a branch member of the gang in this distant city.

Even within the nobility, infighting was constant, and this was even true within the same family.

……

The intelligence officer at that time was the head of intelligence for the Alban family and a member of a branch of the Alban family. However, he did not have much of the qualifications to become a mystic, so he became the person in charge of intelligence.

After returning to his study, he immediately said, "I have received the patriarch's order. You are to find any female servant, even those who have been given sex-changing drugs, and have her change her surname to Olben and marry the leader of the Akatsuki. I don't need to do such a small thing myself."

The man, who was also in charge of intelligence, immediately bowed, accepted the letter from the head of the family, and left the study.

The junior member had just taken on this task, and as he touched the seal, he thought to himself.

He was a full member of the Alban family. Although he wasn't surnamed Alban, his parents were the steward and maid of the main Alban household, making him a legitimate member of the noble family, unlike those lackeys who joined later. Why would he handle something as trivial as contacting a gang leader himself?

What I need to do is marry a woman with the surname Alban as soon as possible, and then change my surname to Alban, no matter how remote the branch family member is.

So, ever since he was old enough to understand things, he's had his eye on a target and is currently working on winning him over. Therefore, it's best to leave this kind of negotiation with the gang leader to his servants.

"Come here," he immediately ordered a servant, "This is the head of the family. Find any woman and go to this gang leader. Tell him she is the eldest daughter of the Alban family, and make the leader of the Akatsuki organization submit to the Alban family."

"Yes, sir." The servant nodded and bowed very respectfully.

After he left, the servant looked at the contents of the document with disdain. It was the address of a newly emerging gang called "Akatsuki".

Although he was a servant, he was not an ordinary servant, but a servant of the Alban family, a servant who served the nobles, and even a servant who could rise to the top in one step. He was even sent to work for those peasant gangsters.

He didn't care about such a trivial matter as contacting the gang, since in the past, contacting the gang was outsourced to errand runners by them, who would then use the Alban family's message to contact the gang.

The gangsters were practically begging to kneel down and acknowledge the Alban family as their godfather when they heard they had connections, so this time they just needed to send their errand boys.

With that thought in mind, he then went to an underground nightclub outside the family compound and met several hooligans who looked like thugs.

"This is the master's certification. You can just grab any prostitute, make her call herself Alban, and then have her become an informant for a new gang. Do you think you can handle this well?" He looked down at the thugs.

"We'll definitely do it well, we'll definitely get it done, just leave it to us, sir! We'll make sure it's done perfectly for you!" The men accepted the seal in a very humble manner and patted their chests to guarantee that they could do it well.

They made a living by connecting the Alban family with other gangs and gradually became local tyrants, but they knew how to behave when they actually faced the Alban family.

The Albanian servant felt very comfortable. Even though he was the lowest-ranking servant in the family, what would outsiders call him as long as he left the family? They would call him "Sir"!
This is the status and power of the Alban family. This is why even the lowest-ranking servants would desperately try to stay in the Alban family. They can eat on their knees, while others who want to kneel don't even have the chance!
He strode away with an air of indifference, while the men who had taken the job did not go directly to the gangs. They were middlemen who survived in Roland City. They had connections with various gangs and even had connections and jobs with the Alban family.

In Roland, many people actually live in the cracks; they don't belong to any gangs and make a living by taking on various middleman jobs.

They are actually the truly bottom-class people, the kind for whom even sex-changing drugs would be a waste.

So they immediately found a middleman and began arranging this job from the Alban family.

After being subcontracted through countless intermediaries, a group of middlemen, including one "woman," took the job, which allowed them to use the surname "Olben," to the Akatsuki headquarters.

Even though it wasn't actually entering the Alban family home, just being able to legally call oneself "Alburn" was an indescribable benefit for these lowly street kids.

Since the middleman doesn't think much of it, or rather, the middleman doesn't dare let his people call themselves "Olben," but these people living in the cracks dare to.

So the group set off to find Xue Lude with the message from the Alban family, and they even began to fantasize about the day they would officially become servants of the Alban family.

……

"Boss, the organization has now expanded to 2.4 members, and there are still many more children who haven't had the chance to hear your speech yet. They are temporarily scattered in the gang's hideouts at various street corners, all eagerly awaiting your appearance," said Rat.

Xue Dinglu said, "In the future, it won't be so frequent. I only need to give a speech once in a while. The rest of the children can directly be stamped with the mark of the Divine Descent Technique, and the seniors can guide them to familiarize themselves with the situation."

He gave more than ten speeches today, and the audience kept growing. Xue also felt that his eloquence was getting better and better.

He even felt that if he could go to a beer hall now, his eloquence would allow him to quickly gather a large crowd in any world, and then he could ask others how much bread costs.

Even Faust stared blankly at Xue's actions.

"How many people have you inscribed the Divine Descent spell on now?" Faust watched Xue Luding's operation from beginning to end, and he felt that his eyes had been opened.

Is this how the Apostles fight?
Xue's speech, eloquence, and strange charm have transformed the Akatsuki organization, which was nothing just a day ago, into a massive gang of tens of thousands of people in just one day, even though the sun has only just set.

Even Faust himself was a little confused.

The number of tens of thousands was just half an hour ago, but now it's almost approaching the 100,000 mark.

This speed was something he couldn't understand at all.

"There are fewer than 30,000 people for now, but we should be able to reach more than 100,000 by tomorrow morning. After all, I welcome all comers. Anyone who wants to eliminate gangsters will become my force," Xue Dinglu said.

"I expect to completely control the entire Roland City by tomorrow night, becoming the true underground gang emperor of Roland City. Then, we'll expand rapidly, gradually infiltrating other areas, like a small spark falling on a wasteland, which will soon become a prairie fire," Xue Dinglu said with a smile, revealing his plan.

Now, the logistics department has been established and has begun to build "divine descent imprints" in a continuous stream. Then, people who have killed gangsters will carry the imprints with them. When the time comes, whoever meets the requirements will have the imprints stamped on them and become a member of the Akatsuki organization.

Xue's Law even added another code to the imprint of the Divine Descent Technique: everyone is an upline, they can develop their own downlines and pull others into the Akatsuki organization, and by pulling in enough people, they can enhance the power of their Divine Descent Technique.

Therefore, the girls in the Akatsuki organization would not torture ordinary people, but would instead protect them strictly and work hard to brainwash and promote them to join the Akatsuki organization and become their subordinates, so that they could gain more power.

This visible growth, and the pleasure of pulling others out of the mire, is more than a million times better than mating!

Moreover, those who recruit many downlines can come to the Akatsuki headquarters to listen to Xue Lude's speech and receive Akatsuki badges. This sense of honor and loyalty is something they could never have imagined when they were living in the mud.

So they started desperately recruiting new members.

Their recruits could become full members simply by killing a member of the gang, and they would also be eligible to recruit others as their downlines, receiving large amounts of bread and water, as well as the mark of divine intervention.

As it continued to develop step by step, the number of Akatsuki members increased exponentially.

As a result, clothing supplies began to run out, but that didn't matter. Xue's priority was temporarily the supply of strength and food. With the nuclear-powered bread-making technique activated, anyone entering the Akatsuki organization would have enough bread and water.

Let alone just tens of thousands of people, even if there were hundreds of millions, Xue Dinglu's bread-making technique alone could feed them all in a short time, though the divine tree inside his body would suffer.

A 6500-million-year-old sacred tree: "..."

In this model of developing downlines, the Akatsuki organization presents a vibrant and thriving scene.

They have now captured 5 city blocks and destroyed 14 gangs. At the current rate of chain reaction in their expansion, there will basically only be one gang in the entire city of Roland tomorrow, and that will be the Akatsuki.

At that time, Xue Luding will give a speech to everyone in the city lord's mansion, letting them know why they are fighting and telling them what they dream of in the future.

This is the leader they are loyal to!
……

Seeing all this, Faust felt a chill run down his spine.

Faust opened his mouth, about to say, "My lord, you're going too far..."

Then, as soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to freeze, suddenly realizing that when facing Xue Dinglu, he felt like those colleagues who had always tried to stop him.

What difference is there between him now and those members of the Praise Society he looks down on?
However, he laughed and said, "You all say I'm extreme? I'll show you what true extremes are."

“Yes, this world seems a bit too urbanized.” Xue Dinglu looked at the chaotic Roland City, standing at this vantage point, looking down at the entire city.

Even after sunset, Roland City remained in a state of high alert, with fights breaking out everywhere. Clashes between other gangs and the Akatsuki organization were even taking place in every area of ​​Roland City.

This is merely a gang war, and not a single noble has personally intervened yet, so Xue Dinglu is not afraid of attracting the attention of the 12th Apostle.

If Mephisto would only care about the outcome of a gang fight, then Xue's Law wouldn't be afraid of this situation, proving that this 12th Apostle might be weaker than Xue's Law imagined.

Just as Xue Lude and Faust were explaining how to de-urbanize, the mouse said, "Brother Lude, as you just requested, the Alban family has sent someone to say they want to have a formal talk with you."

"Let them in to see me," Xue Dinglu said directly, while reminding them, "Rat, how many times have I told you, you have to address them by their titles."

"Okay Chief!"

Led by the rat, a team of four entered, two men and two women. However, Xue Luding frowned after only glancing at the four of them.

They didn't look like members of an aristocratic family; they looked more like low-level gangsters. (End of Chapter)
