Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-293

Nova didn't like the idea of making a deal with a criminal. But if Cesar's words were true, he wouldn't get far. Besides, a deal with him could protect the army in the city as well as the population.

That was something that could help her in her duty as a soldier of the kingdom, something that pleased her and made her willing to listen to what he had to say.

Vicente then said. "In exchange for an agreement with you, I hope you can help me get information that the royal army must have."

The royal army was the largest organization in the entire kingdom. Although the temples of faith of the Congregation of Revelation were outposts of an even more powerful force, they had fewer members and were not usually involved in many local operations.

As such, the royal army of the Seidel Kingdom was more relevant in the kingdom than the Awakening Temples, and they had the best information about the local powers.

The Congregation of Revelation definitely had good information about the local powers and especially the external forces. But as someone who was committed to his revenge, Vicente would act on as many fronts as he could.

Since Nova wanted to make a deal with him, he would demand something from her, even though Jasmine was already inside the Congregation of Revelations.

From his point of view, it was better to have someone inside the Congregation of Revelations and the local royal army simultaneously!

With Jasmine and Nova by his side, he could get information and identify the Sovereigns who had caused his mother's death, as well as the sect that had kidnapped Lauren.

"Information? What kind of information?" Nova narrowed her eyes.

Depending on what it was, she was willing to make a deal with Cesar. As long as it wasn't anything compromising, anything was possible to ensure stability in Millfall.

"Don't worry, the information I'm looking for doesn't necessarily have to do with the royal family or the army. I want to know about three people. I want their identities, what forces they belong to, in short, everything the army has on them, their families, sects, associations, etc., everything that involves them."

"Who are these people?" Nova asked as Vicente took out three yellowed sheets of paper from his spatial ring, on which there were drawings of the two Sovereigns who had caused Kate's death, while the third represented the man who had kidnapped Lauren.

There was some information on these pictures, such as the names of Malik and Dax, the two Sovereigns, while there was also the name of William, the Barbarian of Nixlas, Lauren's abductor.

Vicente had heard the names of these people during the traumatic events of years ago and had stored them in his memory. Since he had also memorized the faces of two out of three, he was well prepared to search for information about them.

Looking at the portraits, where Cesar had last seen them, their levels, and even their nicknames, Nova didn't recognize any of the names or faces.

'Those aren't members of the royal family or high-ranking soldiers of the army.' She silently thought as she looked at the portraits.

There were portraits of army leaders and members of the royal lineage in every army headquarters in the kingdom. Even though she had never seen any of these people in person, Nova knew very well what the most important members of the army she belonged to looked like.

Then she said. "I can promise you that I will investigate these people. I don't think they are members of the army or the royal family. Still, I can't guarantee they aren't connected to the kingdom's forces. So I won't give you any information about them until I'm sure they have no connection with the royal family and the army."

"That's good enough for me." Vicente agreed.

"I'll see what I can do as soon as..." Nova started to say, but Vicente interrupted her.

"You don't have to rush. That is information that might be difficult for you to get, so you can take your time to build up your position in the army for now. We'll be fine as long as you go for it when you become a Mage." He said, not wanting Nova to get too involved in his problems while she was only an Acolyte.

Vicente didn't know what could happen if she went after this information. So he preferred that she get a little stronger.

In any case, he couldn't take revenge or go after Lauren in the short term, so Nova would have time to strengthen herself and fulfill the agreement they had discussed.

Nova watched Cesar in silence, not understanding what he was getting at. "Aren't you in danger of being killed? I thought you wanted this done as soon as possible."

"I want to. But having this information now wouldn't help me at all. Besides, it wouldn't be good for me to risk my contact in the army while she's still weak. I'd rather you get stronger before anything." Vicente replied.

"What if you die first?"

"Then you won't have to do anything for me, Captain." He laughed. "But if I'm lucky enough to survive, you will fulfill this agreement when you become a Commander.

I don't know how difficult it will be to find out information about the two Sovereigns, but finding information about William won't be so difficult. Since he's only a Mage and the powers of Saltstar City seem to have information about him, I think it will be easy for you to find out what I need about him when you become Commander."

"Okay." She agreed, feeling that even in danger, Cesar was planning his future as if he would overcome every obstacle in his way.

He was aware of the risks, but he believed in himself and acted with the future in mind, preparing himself for important steps.

At the same time, this was a deal she felt would benefit her more than him, so there was no reason for her to refuse.

Nova would only have to give Cesar information in the future when she was Commander and if he was still alive. Even if she was forced to keep this promise, she would only have to give him information that didn't endanger the organization she belonged to. In the meantime, she would have this man's promise that he would not act against official forces or innocent people, bringing peace to her city.

But Nova was no saint seeking peace without deeper goals. To her, the more peaceful Millfall was, the better because the army's job was maintaining order and harmony.

By guaranteeing these two things, soldiers of such city ranks received merit and gained more opportunities within the army.

As the one responsible for this agreement with Cesar, she would gain many points in the army!

So she soon signed a Magic Agreement with Cesar, guaranteeing she would be his informant within the army.
