Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Partnership

"Partnership? What do you want?" Vicente asked as he cautiously looked at the man.

The man before Vicente was still a High-level Mage despite the rumors that Jonah had become a Sovereign. Vicente couldn't sense Snow Claw's mana, but he could see the field lines around the man and tell that this was a Mage and not a Sovereign.

'A deal with you at this level would have to be very advantageous for me.' Vice thought, imagining the many dangers Jonah must have around him right now.

SnowClaw replied. "Yes. I intend to go into seclusion to raise my stage very soon. I need someone to protect me during this time. Considering how much stronger you are now compared to our time in the prison, you should be able to deal with my enemies with some ease."

"I'm not sure about that," Vicente commented. "I would rather not have to deal with Sovereigns. I came here just so I wouldn't have any problems, Jonah."

"I know. That's why I'll make up for the dangers you'll accept for my sake." Jonah smiled confidently. "When I become sovereign, I'll do three things for you. Whatever it is, I'll accept anything. That's what I can give you in exchange for your protection during my seclusion."

"Oh?" Vicente pondered this proposal momentarily, for Snow Claw was already powerful as a High-level Mage... Imagine how much stronger this man could be as an Earth Sovereign?

'He could help me a lot with Lauren.' Vicente thought, remembering that his sister had been kidnapped by a group that even included Paragons.

"Since that's the case, we can make a temporary partnership. I won't help you with your local vendettas, nor will I carry out missions for you. I'll protect you during your advancement to the 4th stage, and in return, you'll owe me 3 favors."

Jonah smiled as he showed Vicente one of his hands. "All right. We can sign a Magic Agreement with these conditions."

Vicente shook Jonah's dominant hand and agreed to proceed with the partnership.

"When do you want to go into seclusion?" Vicente asked. "By the way, it would be better if we did it away from Saltstar City."Emerging from the sanctum of Nøv€lß¡n☆, this essence holds secrets untold.

"Yes, I already have a place in mind... Anyway, I intend to go into seclusion in the following days. I have a few problems to solve before I can prepare for my advance, resources to buy, and so on. When I have everything, I'll let you know.

"If that's the case, we are in great danger." He muttered to Jonah.

"If you think about it, the danger will be more or less the same as facing Sovereigns... Hide your face well if you have to face their group. However, rest assured that their companions will try at all costs to make you show your face and your magical fluctuation. That's their job."

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Vicente sighed, imagining the dangers he would have to face if he wanted to win three favors from a Sovereign with Snow Claw's powers.

But he thought it would be worth it. Snow Claw was already able to fight and survive against ordinary Sky Sovereigns, so when he reached the 4th stage, he would most likely be able to resist newly promoted Paragons.

"Well, I have other things to take care of. I'll wait for your signal." He said, intending to leave so as not to be around this fellow in the city.

"Okay, see you in a few days."

With those words, the two of them parted, Snow Claw leaving the alley to hide elsewhere and Vicente going to the association where he would meet Benson and other local blacksmiths.

Benson intended to live in Saltstar City from now on due to Vicente's move to the city, so the place where this young man could most easily meet his master was the association building.

But when he arrived there and met with one of the high-

ranking elders, Vicente discovered something unexpected.

...

"Is Ronan dead?" He asked the elder who had just informed him. "Where is my master? Where did he go?"

"You should hurry. Benson said he was going straight to The Ruby Devils to demand answers!"

"Shit!" Vicente hurried when he heard that, very worried about what might happen.
