Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003 Object of Investigation

"There's no rush. We're still going to be in Light Cay for a few years. The journey by sea is truly challenging, Senior Benson. There are many preparations one needs to make in order to sail between islands," Nan said, point out that her group could sail—something challenging.

Vicente didn't doubt her words. Even though the fairy was probably trying to make him think how difficult it was for one to travel between islands and put her own group in the spotlight for him, he considered the offer well.

"I will promise nothing now. But we can talk about it in the future." He looked at the dwarf next to her, waiting for Nan's response. "You said you'd be staying in Light Cay for a few years, right? Depending on the time, I might join you."

Nan nodded in affirmation. "Yes, five to ten years. It depends on how our plans develop." She looked at her advisors, seeing that they agreed with her estimate. "Is there somewhere we can find you? You said you're a member of Stonewall, right? We can approach your sect when the time comes."

He rejected these plans. "I still don't know how my sect will deal with my plans to leave the island. Will they approve of my departure after I've used their support and resources?" he questioned reasonably.

"I'd rather get in touch with you another way. We can meet in five years' time. I think by then you'll have a better idea of when you're leaving the island and I'll be ready to make a decision."

"Would we not see each other in the meantime?" Hervi, the dwarf, asked Vicente.

"It's best, isn't it? I have my affairs and you have yours. Whatever you want in Light Cay, I don't want to get involved. But I am interested in Miss Nan's proposal." He looked at her and saw her nod in agreement.

"Very well. We can do as you wish and meet in five years. How about we do it where we are now? We can come here in 5 years and wait for each other for up to 2 months. If the other side doesn't show up, we'll let this matter die and go our separate ways." She proposed, willing to keep that door open during the break ahead. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After feeling something special in Vicente, she would honestly prefer him to commit to them now. But his proposal wasn't bad. Having a chance to have him by their side in five years' time would still be great.

"Hmm, if fate wills it, it will certainly happen," Nan agreed, watching him get out of her carriage. "I wish your group good luck, Senior Benson. And once again, forgive me for my guard's behavior."

"Don't worry... Good luck to your group, too." He turned away from her, waving one of his hands, and returned to his group's side.

The surrounding guards looked at him strangely, especially the wounded man. But none of them moved against him, and soon the convoy of carriages continued to move.

Vicente and his group watched them go, while he had several things on his mind.

'This group is hiding something, he thought to himself as he watched. I don't know if this will be a problem for me, but they're definitely hiding something.'

"Senior, what do we do now? Should we contact the sect about them?" Bert asked amid Vicente's silence.

"Yes, we'll do that." Vicente narrowed his eyes. "They could become my allies, but until that happens, let's be careful. This is a strange group."

"Of course. You made the right decision, senior," Garin sighed, hearing Vicente's sensible decision.

"Let's move on. We'll fly from the next town to Ravengarde. I'm looking forward to finding out more about this group."

Vicente didn't intend to investigate the fairy group through the sect. With the system behind Dark Hands at his disposal, he wanted to gather resources to carry out this and other missions of interest to him.

They set off towards their previous destination, no longer encountering large or powerful groups of travelers like the previous one. They were already close to the town they intended to pass through. The flow of magicians traveling along that road would increase until they reached their destination.

To Bert and Garin's relief, they could leave for Ravengarde after just three days. With that, in another four days, they could be back at the core of their sect!
