Kapitel 416: Fake

Holy Magus Antonidus scowled at the two gladiators seated lazily across from him. If he could wind back time and choose to never have invested in the Stormbrand adventuring company, he'd have gone back and slapped himself. 

So many years ago, the name 'Maximus' had outgrown Ezyria and was known throughout all of Tyrion. Then word came around that a new gladiator guild had been created... following in the footsteps of the nigh forgotten guild, Sol Invictus, and was associated with Maximus' noble house, House Vanzano. 

The most heroic amongst them was a flashy, highly-skilled gladiator. In his arrogance, he called himself Orcus, after the legendary Tyrion hero. 

He even called himself a god. 

Since then, Antonidus had funneled money into their cause, hoping that the popularity of the Stormbrands would return a profit into his own businesses and win him powerful political allies.
