Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 226 Time for the Rescue?

While Rory’s and Julian’s groups fought various enemies underground in one of the hills of the Alpine Woodpecker Forest, the situation in Millfall was still the same for Nina.

But as much as she was still missing, those searching for her were getting closer to her position.

Casey was about to attack a place where he thought she might be when he suddenly noticed someone approaching his position and turned his attention to his surroundings.

Realizing who it was, he lowered the poisoned weapon he had picked up.

“So you’ve come this far… No wonder they say you’re the most talented Captain of the local royal army post, Miss Bain.” He said as he looked at the blue-haired woman he already knew to be a friend of the Fuller family.

Casey was no fool. He didn’t ally himself with anyone without first knowing the contacts, friends, and enemies of potential partners. He knew about every meeting between Vicente and Nova, and as much as he didn’t know the young Fuller’s plans for such a soldier, he knew she wasn’t an enemy today.

When he saw her appear near where he was hiding in a treetop next to an estate at one end of Millfall, he wasn’t surprised to see her there.

Nova took one look at him and immediately recognized him. “Mister Amnesia.” She muttered Casey’s alias.

Casey wasn’t a famous person. He had to be unknown to do part of his job. However, some high-ranking soldiers and magicians in Millfall knew of the man who served the local nobles with his uncanny ability and had been helping some of these families with their problems for the past three years.

Since Casey usually erased the memories of his targets, he had earned the nickname “Mister Amnesia.” But Nova knew that the black-haired man’s abilities went far beyond that.

“I didn’t expect you to go after her as well. The Fuller family hired you? I didn’t know you did investigative work as well.” She said as she looked seriously at the man, tense because he was very powerful and dangerous.

Considering his story in this city, she didn’t have a good impression of Casey.

It was only natural that she looked at him defensively!

Casey ignored how Nova put a hand on the sword hanging from her waist and said. “You’re here to save Nina, right? What are you going to do, Miss Bain? Are you just going to attack at my side and get her out of here?”

“What else is there to do?” Nova asked him.

“Punish the real culprits.” ．

She narrowed her eyes as she frowned. “And who would that be?”

Although she had arrived there almost together with Casey, Nova didn’t have the same level of information as him. She didn’t know that the young master Marcus Symons had ordered all of this. As such, she was only there for the rescue.

Casey smiled and said. “The Symons family. Marcus Symons.”

“What?” She opened her mouth, her countenance changing. “Are you serious? Why would they do that?” Nova moved closer to him.

But Casey didn’t move away when he saw her approaching his clothes to question him.

Ignoring the woman who wrinkled his shirt as she seemed to demand the truth, he said. “I know that as a soldier of the kingdom, you must doubt accusations against the nobility. But I’m sure and I can show you what I saw.”

With his ability, Casey could also share the memories of his targets with other people!

He smiled and decided to test this woman. “If you want to know Marcus’ motivation, I can’t say for sure. But it’s connected to the meetings between Vicente Fuller and Shelby Staples.”

“Shelby Staples?” Nova let Casey go, wondering what Vice could have done with that woman to upset Marcus.

‘Would Vice… No. He wouldn’t.’ She thought about the possibility of Vice getting involved with Shelby. ‘Besides, that woman is no fool. She wouldn’t risk it.’

Confident the man she most wanted to see right now wouldn’t get involved with another woman behind her back, Nova said to Casey. “If you can prove what you said, I’ll see what I can do. But he’s the Viscount’s son. It won’t be easy to deal with him officially.”

“When Vicente Fuller finds out what Marcus Symons has done, he’ll try to settle his affairs personally.”

Nova frowned. Vicente had never shown aggressive behavior, but this would be a good reason for him to get upset.

‘Is that so? He’s going to get in trouble.’ She was worried and showed it to Casey.

Casey saw the look on Nova’s face and was impressed. ‘You seem trustworthy… But will you be when you find out who he is?’

But even with this doubt in his mind, nothing could stand in the way of his temporary partnership with Nova that night!

With her by his side, he was confident that he would be able to outwit the level 4 men from the criminal group Marcus had hired to kidnap Nina.

“Anyway, we’re not here to talk. How about we team up for now? I have my own reasons to save that girl.”

Nova looked at him and agreed. “I’ll take the front, and you take the back. Your skills will be more useful in rescuing her without putting her in danger.”

“Okay.”

With that decided, the two split up, with Nova going to the entrance of what looked like a barn, where three men stood at the perimeter, guarding the place as if it were just an ordinary barn.

She grabbed her sword as she appeared there and glared angrily at the people who had held Nina captive for the past few days.

But without saying anything, she ran towards them, moving her sword as one of her pentagrams appeared above her weapon.

As she slashed at her enemies, who weren’t expecting this sudden attack, Nova did something few would have guessed she was capable of in broad daylight.

With a single movement, she created a blade of mana that quickly traversed the space, slicing the bodies of two of the three level 4 men in half.

With her next move, her sword glowed a shade of red, and then she struck a blow that went through the third opponent and the door in front of them, destroying them as if they were nothing.

Normally, she would have brought them to justice, but as criminals willing to act against a disabled child, they didn’t deserve to stay alive.

The worst punishment was not death, for only life could make one suffer enough to repent. However, these men had acted on the orders of the Viscount’s heir and were unlikely to be imprisoned for long.

Killing them was the only way Nova could guarantee their punishment!

That night, Nova would have blood on her hands as she and Casey slaughtered a group of previously notorious criminals in this area of Millfall.
