I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 206 A responsible gang should have its own cult.
When Al Capone had someone investigate and discovered that some members of the Chicago Mafia had actually joined the so-called "Logan Cult," he almost laughed out of anger!
Although relations between the Mafia and the Irish gangs have greatly improved, and they have even begun to cooperate in some areas, the Mafia's core base remains Italian-American!
And now, his Italian underlings have actually gone to believe in a bizarre "cult" created by an Irish kid.
Do you guys even know that your real leader, me, is the chosen one prophesied by the true god?!

Oh, it seems... they really don't know.

Capone suddenly discovered a blind spot.

He has never claimed to have a true god behind him, for fear of being targeted by religious fanatics and the federal government, and being killed before he could even develop his powers. Only his confidants and some astute members have glimpsed a little about it.

But things are different now! Look at what America has become!
Southern gangsters have pulled off some incredible "miracles" and even started a rebellion; religious fanatics have truly gone mad; and the federal government is overwhelmed with problems, dealing with the mess in the South and the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, so where would it find the extra energy to keep an eye on an "ordinary" gang in Chicago?

Their previous covert support for the Southern gangsters has indeed paid off. Now is the perfect time for them to take advantage of the chaos, when morals are in disarray, powerful figures are rising up, and they can fish in troubled waters!
The only problem was that he was a step too slow, allowing a young upstart who only knew how to talk big to get ahead of him and create such a big stir in Chicago, even starting to shake the morale of his own Mafia!
It's decided! We Mafia members will have our own cult! We Italians will have our own new faith!

Al Capone couldn't wait to tell Han Solo the good news:
"...A clueless, boastful newspaper kid, just because he said a few things that sounded somewhat reasonable, was actually hailed as a 'god' by the masses! This is enough to show how empty people's hearts are and how much they yearn for faith!"

"Your Excellency, Chicago needs the guidance of the Dark Force! The underworld needs the order of the Dark Force even more! We can no longer keep a low profile! Otherwise, we'll really let Logan's nonsensical cult mislead the masses and seize the vacuum of faith!"

Han Solo: "..."

Although I don't like this so-called "Logan Cult" either, I really want to give you a taste of "divine punishment" for insulting a bald man in front of a monk!

Al Capone was unaware of His Holiness's inner turmoil. He had made ample preparations to persuade the "low-key" His Holiness to "open up his faith."

His expression turned serious, and he began his performance in a deliberately slow and inflected tone, completely out of character for him:

"I have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the 'great cause of the dark world'!"

"Han Solo": ?

This familiar opening gave him a bad feeling.

Unaware of what was happening, Al Capone continued passionately, "I dream that one day our organization will transcend simple violence and money; it will have its own soul—the 'Cult of the Force'! We will no longer be ordinary underground gangs; we will be a dark kingdom that worships the 'Force'."

“I dream that the Cult of the Force will become the cornerstone of our divine kingdom.”

"I dream that our children will be baptized by the Force from birth; that our youth will swear allegiance under the witness of the Force when they join the organization; and that our brothers will silently say 'The Force is with me' as they go about their missions on the streets."

"I dream that when one of our heroes falls, we will give him the most glorious funeral in the name of the Force, and make his enemies pay a hundredfold price!"

"Let the faith in the Force, from cradle to grave, bless us, guide us, and punish those who betray us! When that day truly comes, we will silence all the noise, and we will make all our enemies submit."

"At that time, in every corner of the world, wherever our power reaches, the songs of our victory will resound—" "The Dark Force is with us!"

"This is my dream: Order to us, glory to the Force!"

"Therefore, Venerable One! Let the Force rise from the East Coast! Let the Force converge from the West Coast! Let the Force resound in every corner of the world!"

Han Solo: !!!

To be honest, Han Solo was stunned at that moment!
Imagine a gangster boss who's known for his rudeness and constant use of the word "fuck" suddenly starts spouting eloquent verses about dreams, soul, and foundations in front of you. Who wouldn't be stunned?

But that wasn't the main reason he was stunned.

The main reason is—you just insulted me so badly, and then you plagiarized my speech almost verbatim. Are you trying to bully me by thinking that just because I'm wearing a disguise I'm not Logan anymore?

Well, Han Solo thinks it's more likely that the person who ghostwrote for Al Capone didn't tell him that the "original" author of this thing was Logan, whom he had just vehemently criticized!

What else could Han Solo say?

He's a gang leader, and he's already gone to such lengths, even memorizing such a long, literary treatise that's completely out of character for him!

"troubled you!"

Han Solo exclaimed sincerely, "Then so be it! Let the Cult of the Force become the cornerstone of restoring order to the dark world!"

With His Holiness's approval, Al Capone immediately and swiftly launched the Mafia version of the official faith in Chicago—the "Cult of the Force"!
The doctrines of the "Force God Cult" are simple, brutal, and directly address the core issues, embodying a pragmatic approach characteristic of the mafia.
Believe in the Force, and you'll live a worry-free life!
—As long as one has a devout faith in the Dark Force and is loyal to the Mafia, the organization promises to provide comprehensive protection and support from the "cradle" of their birth to the "grave" where they rest in peace. Their education will be funded by the organization; their marriages will be blessed by the organization; their careers will be supported by the organization; and their final resting place will be arranged by the organization.

In other words, the Mafia is officially evolving into a comprehensive and dynamic organization that takes care of its members' "birth, aging, illness, and death"!

Donald of the Irish gang quickly discovered this blind spot: in this era of moral decay and widespread fear, a responsible gang should have its own cult to seize the high ground of faith and solidify its base!
Not long after, the Irish gang followed suit, and the "Genshin Impact Cult" was born!
Chicagoans were astonished to find that, all at once, three "cults" were standing side by side with them!
Although the "Logan Church," with its clearly defined object of faith and the strongest inclusiveness, does not consider the other two to be "theological religions": Do they even know what "God" means? They are ignorant and only know how to throw money at unsuspecting sheep!

The Force Cult and the Primal God Cult do not consider the Logan Cult to be comparable to themselves: Do they even know what true power is? A bunch of fools who know nothing about the real world!

Only one person felt as if thunder was rolling in the sky, and his heart was filled with the thought of countless alpacas galloping through his mind!

Very well, do you want to summon the god behind you to come out and fight?
