From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 59 The Legacy of the Templars
As the memories that had been etched into his mind gradually became clearer, information about the "Templars" also began to emerge in Leon's mind.

His family is not a simple mafia family, but a special family with a long history.

Long, long ago, their family belonged to the special group known as the Knights Templar, and were important members of it.

However, in a terrible disaster, the entire supernatural system of the Holy See collapsed as a whole, but his family ancestor escaped under the protection of a group of people.

“Lord…please forgive my rudeness, I will believe in you forever!” Lyon prayed.

He seems to have triggered his grandfather's keepsake, and was granted the power of a knight.

In my memory, knights were one of the main fighting forces of the Holy See against heretics, so their strength was certainly very powerful!
Even the most basic apprentice knight can resist the power of ordinary swords, but he has now been directly promoted to the rank of "official knight" and has the combat power belonging to the knight class!

The most typical examples are physical recovery and skin hardening. Physical strength is secondary. The most important thing is that a special "holy mark" appeared in the palm of his hand!
This is the Iris Mark. In Leon's memory, he clearly recognized that this mark was the real reason he was able to be reborn and return!

It will authenticate the soul, and after the soul is truly confirmed, it will guide the "Lily Holy Flame" to lead his rebirth!
A pure white iris bloomed in his palm, and the white light emanating from it, along with the power it exuded and the sacred light it ignited, all confirmed his identity.

Lyon clenched his fists; the power within him told him that this was all real, not a lie!

He truly transformed from the last surviving member of a Mafia family into a guardian of secrets, a staunch adherent of dogma, and a steadfast protector of the future.

Leon knelt on the ground and began his prayer:
"The glorious Trinity,"
Lord of all armies, forger of shield and sword!
As Psalm 91 proclaims:
Your name is Bandai Fortress, your kingdom is a forging furnace.

Please guide me towards a bright and prosperous future!

This is how a knight should pray; this is the ritual of prayer in his mind.

Lyon couldn't see that as he muttered those words, his body was shimmering in the white light.

It was as if he were enveloped in holy light, or as if he had been blessed by heaven. In short, he was indeed countless times more devout than he had been before.

……

And this light also appeared in the eyes of the monitors behind the scenes.

Angleboda Scott is the warden of Rikers Island prison.

Of course, in every sense, he was also the uncrowned king of prison.

After all, he held all the power in the prison. The funding for this prison with a capacity of 10,000, the various procurement rights, and a series of extraterritorial rights, including transactions with various gangs or production by prison enterprises, were all part of his power.

This is why Angelboda's control over the entire prison reached a very pathological level!

These powers in his hands were like Franklin in broad daylight, and of course he had to pay attention to them.

So, he received the news just minutes after the prison guards were screaming "ghost."

He sat behind his desk, squinting at the three visibly shaken policemen. "You mean, that mafia member who died in the square yesterday has come back to life? Right before your eyes?"

“Yes, sir! He’s been dead all night, almost bled to death, but he’s alive and can even talk!” the guard shouted. “You can check the security footage! We’re not lying!”

Angelboda raised his hand, "Play the surveillance footage!"

On the computer in front of him, the surveillance footage was brought up. The surveillance video of the square was retrieved at that moment and quickly sped up to the time just now.

Then, in the dim light of the square, he saw Lyon, who had been lying in the square as a "corpse" for almost a day, and the three prison guards who were carrying him.

As the prison guards moved, the surveillance video gradually shifted its perspective, from the inside of the square to its edge. Then, the three guards seemed to have encountered something unusual and suddenly screamed!
They left the "body" behind and moved out of the camera's view, but the body slowly stood up a few seconds later.

He stood there, seemingly doing nothing, but Angelboda could see the white light emanating from him and the entire process of his translucent body slowly repairing itself in the light!

The warden immediately stood up, staring intently at the scene, finding it both absurd and bizarre.

No wonder the three prison guards ran so fast. Even if he were there, seeing such a scene would have made running away his first choice!

But as the man moved in the frame, he quickly disappeared from the camera's view, dashing the warden's hopes of continuing to observe him.

"Go, find him!" Angelboda shouted. He could sense that this man must have a big secret, and no matter what, the other party was his prisoner, and he had special control over him.

The secret here hasn't been revealed yet, so he needs to use this time to get this man under his control.

Although we don't know what happened to the other person, it must have been some kind of mysterious encounter, or some special mysterious object.

In that instant, greed had taken over his mind. As the warden, everything in the prison belonged to him, and this man was no exception.

If we can really catch the other person and find the secret behind this man's resurrection...

This will be a wonderful opportunity!
A deep fervor flickered across Angelboda's face. Perhaps he could finally escape this damned warden position and become a true big shot in the city.

Instead of the current situation, where even though he is the warden, he still has to be wary of gang members in some prisons!
“Sir, this…” The prison guards had no desire, so their first thought was of all sorts of “rumors” that were very widespread in the country.

For example, they know about all sorts of ghost stories and biological experiments, and they also know the tragic deaths of those who actively contact the mysterious in movies, so of course they are unwilling to go.

But Angelboda had already stood up. "Execute orders! The gates are locked, he can't go anywhere. Go find him first!"

The prison guards had no choice but to agree.

However, the warden did not expect that Leon would not escape from the prison or hide somewhere in the prison as they thought, but would calmly walk towards their office building.

Lyon vividly remembered that during that horrific manhunt, all his family members except himself were shot dead by the police under the pretext of "arrest".

He was the only one left, and he escaped with the package his father had given him.

In fact, the family's affairs had little to do with Lyon. Ten years ago, with the death of his brother, he had almost completely broken away from the family. He worked and lived alone in New York, not involved in business and having no connection with the family whatsoever.

No wonder Borat Jones called him a "nice guy," like a pure white lotus in a Mafia family, almost untouched by bloodshed.

But Leon didn't intend to escape. Instead, he took the package, changed his identity, and came to the prison to find the traitor and execute him.

According to his initial plan, he would die in prison anyway, so he certainly didn't intend to take these things with him.

Although it was the family's biggest secret, now that the family is gone, the secret is meaningless.

But now, everything is different.

He was no longer the last member of the Rankoch family, the final executioner, but a successor of the Templars and a member of the Brotherhood!
He was no longer alone, but had a new organization called the "Brotherhood," which was especially important for the Italian Mafia, which valued "family" relationships!
Therefore, he needs to uphold the duty that his family has guarded for hundreds of years, retrieve his package, retrieve the box inside the package, and then continue to guard it.

This time, his heart was filled with hope.

After all, God's glory has descended, and the power belonging to the Knights Templar has returned. So, how far away is the day when the Brotherhood is rebuilt?
“I will rebuild my family, I will restore the glory of the Lord, I will… hold onto all of this!”
