Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-109

That morning, Vicente had received a contact from the local mercenary guild where his groups were registered.

Leaving his house after breakfast with Eve and Nina, he headed for the guild building in downtown Millfall before stopping at his headquarters.

So far, nothing had happened to them, and their membership in the Scarlet Syndicate had worked well for their group's protection.

At the same time, Jax had already sent his weekly contribution to Vicente's group, having sent him 10 gold coins the day before.

This had been a pleasant surprise amid Vicente's difficulties.

As he walked, Vice wondered what to do with his group after the recent advancements, deaths, and financial gains. His group was stronger and richer but had also lost members and made new enemies.

'I need to recruit more men.' He thought as he walked down the central sidewalks of Millfall with his mask on his face. 'I currently have 56 men in my family, of which only 36 are here in this city. But that is not enough to protect Nina, my headquarters, and my territory.

I desperately need more men!'

He thought about bringing more people from Martell Village, which might even work for him to protect his partners' shops. But it wouldn't be of much use in the long run, as higher-level problems would probably hit him soon.

Before, the local businessmen who did business with Vicente only had problems with ordinary people, problematic consumers. But with the enemies he was making, bigger problems could hit them and target their business.

Vicente knew how criminals thought, and by now, several actions should be being developed against him.

This call to the mercenary guild was probably related to that!

'I will take care of the recruitment here in Millfall... For now, let me see what they're planning against me.' He paused for a moment in front of the guild building, a place that looked like a large house in the center of town.

But there was a symbol of this guild, and its doors were always open for mercenaries and clients to enter the property.

Vice made his way to the place he had visited several times before, quickly reaching the entrance hall where there were tables and chairs here and there and many individuals separated into groups chatting.

Unlike Martell Village, where the mercenaries gathered in a government building, things were different in Millfall. The mercenary guild was large enough to provide services to the hundreds of mercenaries registered there.

On his way to the reception, Vicente saw a few mercenaries who worked in Martell Village, but he didn't talk to anyone.

'Perhaps I should hire mercenaries? Those two who helped me when my parents died might be good options to try to attract to my group.' Vicente thought before stopping at the reception desk in this area.

"Mr. Mazzanti, please, this way." An attendant promptly took Vicente to the place where the guild master was waiting for him.

Upon arriving at this person's office, Vicente saw two other people waiting for the guild master in the waiting room and couldn't help but stare at the blue-haired woman next to a blond man.

The woman wore a suit of armor similar to the blond man's, which bore the symbol of the Royal Army of the Seidel Kingdom.

But what caught Vicente's attention was not that these two Green-talented magicians were members of the royal forces but the beauty of the blue-haired woman.

Her hair was the color of the sky, and her eyes were a brilliant blue that mesmerized Vicente.

"Beautiful..." Vice murmured.

He was not the kind of man who casually complimented women or flirted in ordinary situations. But women with hair in shades that didn't naturally exist on Earth caught Vicente's attention.

On Earth, no people were born with hair colors outside of the standard brown, black, red, and blonde. But in Polaris Realm, there were all sorts of variations, such as orange, purple, green, blue, and even the rare colored hair.

The pigmentation of the eyes followed the same possibilities, and this earthling could not help but admire the beauty of this blue-haired woman.

She heard the stranger's sotto voce comment and frowned at him.

"What did you say?" The blond man stood up, placing one hand on the sword at his waist.

Vicente realized his carelessness and smiled under his mask. He wouldn't flirt with anyone casually, but since he had already spilled the milk, there was no point in backing down.

"My lady, what is your name? It's not every day I get the chance to meet someone so gorgeous." Vicente said in a subtly different tone.

Whenever he or his men wore their masks, they changed their voices with their mana to keep their identities secret.

The woman looked at the metallic mask of the man who was there for her and her colleague. "Interesting... You are here because of trouble, yet you dare to flirt with me. Are you a fool or too confident in your abilities?"

Vicente understood the woman's attitude and ignored the man staring at him.

But when he noticed no ring on one of the woman's fingers, he knew she was single and not engaged to anyone.

In Polaris Realm, the custom of betrothal and marriage was similar to Earth's. A woman would always have a unique ring on one of her fingers if she were engaged or married.

Since she didn't have anything like that, this man was not her husband or fiancé, and Vicente didn't care if such a level 4 Acolyte liked the woman he was talking to.

The black-haired young man then said. "Neither, my lady. I don't know why I'm here, but that doesn't stop me from being curious about a lady's name, does it? By the way, my name is Cesar Mazzanti."

Cesar Mazzanti was the name of Vicente's former Don on Earth and the name he had chosen to use when acting on behalf of his mafia family.

She chuckled at Vicente's answer. "Nova Bain. But that is all you will ever know of me, Cesar."

After her words, the door to the guild master's office opened, and a tall, fat man with no hair on his head appeared and called these three people into his office.
