Chapter 498 Unnoticed Meeting
498 Unnoticed Meeting .
After the meeting with Newton, Vicente would return to the Fuller residence with Nina and Eve, where he would later meet Nova.
The two of them exchanged bodily fluids again until they finally had time to talk about everything that had happened recently.
Vicente explained to her what had forced him to act so drastically before migrating from Millfall to Saltstar City, not hiding the truth about what had happened.
Nova found the whole story rather unbelievable and was frightened by her boyfriend’s current power level. But even though Vicente had presumed the murder of an army soldier, she wasn’t angry with him or felt terrible for her organization.
She was honest, but little by little, she realized that at the end of the day, what really mattered was her family and those she loved.
If she lived only for the army, she would have nothing and no one sooner or later.
So she accepted Vicente’s crimes and no longer intended to make things difficult for him as she had done before.
She knew he wasn’t acting against the kingdom with evil in mind but rather to protect himself and his family. She felt he was a good person, so she wanted to stay by his side and help him not only get out of trouble but also avoid situations like the one with Adams.
After listening to everything he had to say, she talked a bit about her local experience as a Commandant, which, by the way, had been quite boring.
Usually, soldiers from the kingdom didn’t have to deal with the kind of problems that Vicente had to deal with all the time. The normal thing for a soldier was to stay in headquarters training, sometimes deal with minor local problems, and finally deal with beasts and other kinds of magical beings. .
Less than 20% of a soldier’s service time was spent dealing with problems similar to Vicente’s!
As a result, Nova went a long time without any real combat and had the chance to see more of the corruption of the organization she was a part of.
Apart from that, her biggest action since arriving in Saltstar City had been that night with Vicente…
…
After a hot night with Nova, Vicente would spend the next two days focused on his mission to help Benson and Ronan.
Nina would start her classes locally, while Nova had to continue her monotonous routine. Rory took care of the Mazzanti family’s business with Sarah and Bart, leaving Vicente free to deal with things unrelated to the group’s plans.
So he set about making the artifacts that Ronan was to deliver to The Ruby Devils, something he found not difficult, even with his unfamiliarity with his senior brother’s projects.
The problem Ronan had gotten himself into was due to a sheer lack of understanding on his part, something that probably had to do with the limits of his talent.
Did this mean that Ronan would never be able to keep his promises? No, just that he wouldn’t be able to in the time he had. But he could train and study more until he reached the point where he could produce something of the 3rd grade with 100% efficiency.
Since Vicente had already reached that level, all he had to do was familiarize himself with Ronan’s designs to produce them efficiently and easily.
He made all the weapons he could from Ronan’s materials in two days, leaving the armor for the next days.
…
As he finished the last weapon Ronan would deliver to The Ruby Devils in the next three days, Vicente looked at what he had just finished and couldn’t help but laugh at his predicament.
‘Who would know, huh?’ He asked himself. ‘I’m now making weapons for the organization I want to bring down… Life really is complicated.’
He took off his clothes and washed up, thinking he’d go to The Ruby Devils to find out what he’d talked to Newton about while he rested from his last few hours at the forge.
Soon, he was dressed in formal clothes, back to his refined appearance as a young merchant. Pushing aside his thoughts about his contradictory actions toward The Ruby Devils, he walked toward one of the group’s local outposts.
He wanted information that this faction had for the sake of his revenge, and he produced items for this group for the sake of his master. That might interfere with his local power project to a certain extent. Still, his priorities were too clear for Vicente to hesitate in his decisions.
He would rather strengthen The Ruby Devils a little more by acting as he was than put his master in danger or not have the information he wanted!
After a few minutes of walking, he stopped in front of an ordinary grocery store, where he knew that one of the contact points with the men of this large provincial faction was in the back of the store.
Making his way through the crowded aisles of this market, he soon came to a place where people were peeling roots and fruits for sale.
“I want to talk to The Cashier,” Vicente said as he looked at the strongest man there, drawing the workers’ attention, who knew that The Cashier was not in charge of the market, but the code for talking to one of The Ruby Devils’ informants.
“The Cashier is a busy man. He’ll only agree to talk to a stranger if it’s something really important.” A man with tanned skin and peeling roots said as he looked at Vicente.
“This is important.” Vicente showed the man a small bag of gold coins.
“So it seems.” A smile appeared on the face of the Low-level Mage who was hiding among the mana-less people working there.
The man said in a softer tone as he counted the coins Vicente had brought. “Young master, here we only direct our customers to the right place. If you want to talk to The Cashier, go to The Book Emporium. That is a store in the central part of the city.
When you get there, buy the book Phantoms With Pride and start reading it. The cashier will come to you as soon as he notices you. You’ll have to bargain with him to get the information you want. That was just a toll for you to get to him, haha.”
Vicente didn’t question this and quickly left the market to go to the shop.
The Book Emporium was not far away, and soon Vicente would see the place on the other side of the square on his way.
On his way, he passed a woman dressed in black with a veil covering her face, but he didn’t notice her because of the destination he had in mind.
But that person, whom three other people in black accompanied, noticed the young man and couldn’t help but stop and look at him as he continued to cross the square.
“That person…” The woman with the dark veil on her face said softly, drawing her group’s attention.
“Is there a problem, Miss?” One of her assistants asked.
