Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1002  Proposal

The guard talking to Vicente couldn't take it any longer and jumped towards the black-haired boy, drawing his gun as a cyan pentagram appeared around him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I'll make you learn your place, bumpkin!" said the arrogant man, while Vicente stood still, holding the hilt of his sword in one hand.

The fairy looked in his direction with curiosity in her eyes, not understanding what was wrong. The human was making himself much more difficult than made sense.

Even though she was curious to see Vicente's powers in action and find out what gave him confidence, she felt an uncertainty in her heart and raised one of her hands.

"Stop right there, Elyes." She opened her mouth, while the dwarf and the elf at her side narrowed their eyes and looked in Vicente's direction.

The moving man looked to the side, in the direction of the third carriage of the convoy, and tried his best to stop. But he was too close to Vicente and could only shudder as he felt he would be punished by his lady.

But when he was centimeters away from reaching Vicente's body, his weapon went right through the black-haired magician's body, before a small spatial distortion appeared on his back, piercing him at the height of his right kidney, just a centimeter away from this organ.

"Aaaaah!" The man screamed as he felt his own blade pierce his body.

Vicente took a step back and let his opponent fall to his knees on the ground, at the same time as the small wormhole disappeared from the weapon, revealing a sharp point soiled with blood.

"What happened?"

"Hey, Elyes!"

"Wretch!" Elyes ignored the calls of his group mates as he, already kneeling on the ground, looked at Vicente with an accusatory gaze.

Vicente smiled at him before solemnly ignoring him.

Turning his eyes in the direction of the third carriage, Vicente advanced towards that vehicle, leaving Rex, Bert and Garin standing close to the wounded man on the ground.

The guards in the vicinity hesitated to let Vicente pass, but the fairy herself issued her order for them not to interfere. Most of them hadn't seen what Vice had done, but she had perfectly sensed his every move.

He moved his mana hastily and made an all-indigo pentagram, the size of a speck of dust, appear before warping the space in front of his body and accomplishing what everyone had seen, even if most of them hadn't understood.

Vicente masked his movement in such a way that Nan couldn't help but understand that she shouldn't underestimate this 1-Star Magus.

Curious, she opened the door of her carriage and stood up, forcing the dwarf and the elf to do the same, understanding how they should behave in front of the human magician.

"Young master, this is Nan. Those next to me are Hervi and Garnot, my advisors," she said with a smile on her small lips. "I apologize for my guard's behavior. He didn't recognize your greatness and ended up offending you over an insignificant matter."

Vicente stopped a meter away from the carriage steps and made a gesture of greeting. "My name is Benson King. I'm a member of Stonewall traveling around the island." He named himself after his forge master in Polaris Realm.

Vicente was too famous in Light Cay for him to give his real name to a group like this!

"So, Benson, can we talk inside my carriage? Although we got off on the wrong foot, we can certainly change that. Please agree to drink tea next to me." She smiled at him as she gave Vicente room to enter the vehicle.

Although the passengers were small, the carriage was of a standard size for human magicians to travel in comfort.

Vicente sat down next to the green-skinned elf, facing Nan. "So, you want to trade my Flaming Lion? I'm afraid I have no interest in trading a companion."

"Is that right?" The elf was the one to speak. "I don't want to doubt your commitment to the beast, but I sense you didn't start this relationship long ago."

"Senior Benson, don't take Garnot the wrong way. He's a Beast Tamer, so he tends to say things blindly when it involves beasts." Nan smiled at Vicente.

Vicente looked away and didn't mind the comment. "You must be very good. You're right, Garnot. It's not long since I beat Rex. But now that he's by my side, he's my companion. I won't sell him or leave him where he doesn't want to be."

Nan sighed and answered in Garnot's place. "If you're not willing, that's fine. But that doesn't stop us talking about the future."

"The future? What future is that?" He narrowed his eyes.

Encounters like this usually ended with his side losing their mount, if they were lucky, or dying, if they were unlucky. This group would certainly kill him if they could. But with an intelligent leader, they wouldn't do something as foolish as try such a thing.

Vicente saw in Nas' eyes that she had put the idea of having Rex to one side the moment she realized he wasn't ordinary.

'Do you want to use something to solve this bad start to the relationship or are you genuinely looking for something?' Vicente asked himself as he waited for Nan's answer.

Nan said as she narrowed her eyes, "Senior Benson, have you thought about leaving Light Cay? If you're interested, we can give you a lift back to the island we came from. All you need to do is fight by our side during the journey and I hope you'll become a friend of my people when you get to my home. But if you don't want to, as long as you're not our enemy, we'll be fine with each other, too."

The elf and the dwarf looked at her with wide eyes, while Vicente opened his mouth, genuinely surprised by the unexpected proposal.

"That..."

He hesitated for a moment, thinking how this could be very good, but also a problem in the short term.

'I'd love to go to other islands. Now that I've become famous in Light Cay, going to an island where nobody knows me and where I can hide my past in Polaris Realm would be very nice. But would I be able to leave in the short term? Also, can these people be trusted?'

He thought for almost a minute, considering the pros and cons before giving an answer.

"Well, you took me by surprise," he replied as he scratched his nose, smiling. "But, yes, I have thought about it. In fact, one day I will. I just don't know yet when and if this is the best time for me to leave."
