Chapter 451: The Society

"It's not entirely for that reason. It's because I still have an imminent enemy to deal with. I think once the decisive battle occurs, this person will become a fatal隐患 for me. She has the ability to destroy all my endeavors."

After Lady Blythe's messenger left, Li Mochen reached out and traced in the air: "I've recently conceived of a plan that might succeed in killing her, or even capturing her. But perfecting this device will require not only a great deal of time for deduction and calculation of details, but also the joint efforts of two Grand Alchemists. I thought I couldn't spare the time before, but since this war has ended in such a way, I can now proceed."

"This is?"

Anthony glanced at it briefly, then his eyes gleamed: "Again? But this time, A-Mo, the enemy you're dealing with is at the level of a Magus."

"Precisely because it's an enemy at the Magus level that it's fatal. I don't want my subordinates to be banished one by one from the bright world. Nor can I count on her being foolish enough not to know who her enemy is."

When he thought of that woman's name, Li Mochen felt a pang of bitterness.

Her personal strength was far below the Magus level. But her ability could cast anyone below the level of a Lesser God, or even a Lesser God themselves, into the Astral Plane, and then, by refusing their return, use the狂暴 forces within the Astral Plane to wear down their life.

"But she's very weak now. Her subjects have also been hit hard by the government recently, with heavy casualties. What do you think she'll choose as a way to take revenge on me now? This is our best chance, Anthony."

"Alright! After the completion of Light Magic No. 8, I'll help you perfect it."

Anthony agreed without hesitation: "I owe you this. If we can solve this problem, I'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief. But you're really something, man. Lately, I feel like I'm becoming your subordinate."

"But what I'm doing benefits both of us, doesn't it?"

Li Mochen looked at the billionaire beside him with pure eyes: "And please ask the driver up front to turn around, OK? There's no need for us to return to Atlanta."

Anthony's face twitched, then he extended his hand to Li Mochen: "Congratulations, A-Mo. From now on, you've joined the club of America's most powerful people, becoming a member at the top of this pyramid."

"Why do you say that?"

Li Mochen was puzzled, but he still shook hands with Anthony: "It sounds like I might gain other benefits from this war?"

The latter chuckled lightly: "Have you heard of the Freemasons? Just now, our Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Lawrence Rockefeller, submitted a motion to the Supreme Council of the Freemasons. He intends to sponsor your admission as a member."

"The Freemasons? Free and Accepted Masons?"

Li Mochen's eyes narrowed. Of course, he had heard of the Freemasons.

In America, it was an organization on par with the 'Skull and Bones,' also known as the 'Death Knight Order.' Originating several hundred years ago, its full name was 'Free and Accepted Masons,' a vast organization spread across the world that had fought against the Radiant Church for over two hundred years.

Even today, many believe that the entire American political and business world is under the domination of these two organizations, the Skull and Bones and the Freemasons.

It's worth noting that the Skull and Bones was once a branch of the Freemasons.

"And the Rosicrucian Order."

Anthony raised an eyebrow: "As a managing director of the Rosicrucian Order, I will soon introduce you to this society as well."

"Wow!"

Li Mochen was somewhat shocked: "You surprise me. The Rosicrucian Order? Anthony, I didn't expect you to have such an identity."

The Rosicrucian Order was equally famous in the magical world. Originating in the early 30th century Holy Roman Empire, it was a mysterious community composed of numerous mages, renowned scholars, and reformers, known as the Rosicrucians.

It was a secret society that spread across Europe in the late Middle Ages, developed to oppose the Church of Light and pursue 'Truth.'

Currently, this organization has relatively less influence in America, but it may be more powerful in terms of combat strength. It includes a large number of mages and sorcerers, with nearly a hundred at the Legendary and Demigod levels.

Legend has it that the magical associations of the Old and New Continents were both derived from the early Rosicrucian Order.

By now, they have no apparent connection on the surface, but as far as Li Mochen knew, many powerful demigods belonging to the magical associations of the Old and New Continents were also members of the Rosicrucian Order.

Li Mochen now understood why Anthony had said those words to him.

Both the Rosicrucian Order and the Freemasons were indeed societies that concentrated the most powerful and influential people in America.

"The Rosicrucian Order is not what it used to be. Most of its power has been inherited by the Freemasons, and it has lost its original ideals. Now, this society is just a mutual aid organization for mages and sorcerers. Of course, it's still very powerful, powerful enough to contend with the Church."

Anthony explained: "The Rosicrucian Order welcomes someone like you, a dragon-blooded sorcerer with great power. You could say, A-Mo, you're a natural member. Of course, we can also bring you tremendous help, such as with the Atlanta Magic Tower Committee. As long as you have enough financial resources to bear the cost of the magic tower array, you can enter the highest level at any time and become a councilor of the Magic Tower Committee."

Li Mochen was tempted for a moment, but then he dismissed the improper thought.

He wanted to join the city's Magic Tower Committee, but the monthly 'membership fee' of up to a hundred million gold shields made him hesitate.

Especially in the last two months, the Magic Tower Committee's expenses had reached over thirty billion gold shields. And the total wealth he had obtained from the Benedict family was only that amount.

"And membership in the Freemasons means that America's top political power opens its doors to you."

Anthony said with a half-smile: "A-Mo, I look forward to attending the welcome reception held for you."

Li Mochen frowned, feeling a headache. He was naturally averse to social events like receptions, and then there was the Freemasons' initiation, which seemed to have some unpleasant traditions.

"Don't worry. Among the younger members of the Freemasons, there are indeed some hazing traditions. But that doesn't apply to you. For a magnate with the power of two demigods and controlling tens of billions in assets, anyone must show due respect. A-Mo, without a doubt, you are already one of the most powerful magnates on the East Coast of America."

Anthony reminded him solemnly: "You need to adapt to this change and make corresponding adjustments in the next steps."

Li Mochen fell into deep thought, knowing that Anthony was right.
