Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

When Vicente saw the man with bronze-colored skin, black hair, round eyes, a big nose, and thick lips, but with a Magic Gem in the shape of a green eye, he immediately asked.

"Are you Casey Rogers?" 

Looking at the strange gem on Vicente's forehead, this man with several tattoos all over his body said nothing for a moment before asking. 

"Why are you holding Shelby Staples' card?" 

Vicente saw that he was in the right place and explained. "Miss Staples gave me this card this morning. She told me to find Mr. Rogers because he could help me solve a problem."

Hearing this, the man made way for Vicente and walked ahead of him into the apartment. "Close the door for me, Vicente Fuller."

Hearing his name called by that man, Vicente immediately narrowed his eyes and stopped, not knowing how such a person knew his name.

"How do I know that?" He asked as Vicente was about to open his mouth. "No, Shelby Staples didn't tell me about you."

This man's unique ability was what was behind his position in this society and why Shelby had sent Vice there.

Even though he lived in a modest-looking place, this level 4 Acolyte before Vicente was respected by all his clients, and instead of going to them, his clients, noble or not, had to go to him.

He said. "I can read memories and change them at will with my powers."

Vicente became even more serious when he heard about such a ridiculous ability. "Are you serious?" He asked, moving his mana around his head to protect himself. "But how is that possible? I haven't seen your Magic Pentagrams!" 

Some special powers did not need to reveal their pentagram to be activated!

In this man's case, the "third" eye on his face was not only his Magic Gem but also where his Magic Pentagrams appeared.

If one were not very attentive and sensitive to mana, one would not even see the signs that this man was using his abilities.

Casey sat and looked at Vicente, seeing yet another person react the same way upon meeting him. "I'm not going to explain how my ability works, kid. But rest assured, I can only see basic things about a person. Like their name, their age, and their background. To see someone's secrets or deeper things would take a lot of effort on my part, and you would notice that."

Hearing this, Vicente did not hesitate to close the apartment door, thinking it made sense.

An Acolyte with such power shouldn't be able to see a person's whole life with only one level more of magic and without showing any signs. If that were possible, it would be frightening.

Coming back to his senses, Vicente understood why Shelby had sent him there.

"What are you doing here, Vicente Fuller?"

As he sat down in front of this man, the only one in this luxurious apartment that was completely different from the outside of this building, Vicente answered the man's question. "I would like you to help me delete some information about myself. I recently moved from Martell Village to Millfall. I want you to go to the village and make sure that no one else knows about the weapons that I use."

There were no stronger people than this man in Martell Village, so Vicente felt that he was fully capable of solving this problem with such impressive skill.

Casey understood what the young man wanted and thought about how difficult it would be to make an entire village forget such a thing.

"How many people in this village know about this?" He asked.

"Dozens, maybe over 200," Vicente said, knowing that few had seen him with weapons in public, but several had talked to others about it.

"That's a lot of people. What's their average strength?"

"Most are Apprentices. There are a few Acolytes in the village. And there are several warriors who don't have Magic Gems." Vicente explained.

"In that case, it won't be that difficult, though it will be tedious," Casey said.

Warriors, people without Magic Gems but with magicians' strength, could challenge even Mages in physical combat if they reached the peak. In addition, warriors could not continuously increase their strength and lagged behind in combat skills.

But that was in terms of physical combat. If a magician used spells or special abilities, it could be very complicated for these warriors to protect themselves!

The lack of gems made them very vulnerable to powers that affected the mind, such as Casey's special powers.

He then said after doing some calculations in his head. "Very well, I can help you. The cost will be 50 gold coins. I'll do the job in a week at the most after payment if you're in a hurry."

Casey had other jobs in mind, but he realized Vicente's level of concern and naturally adjusted the price of his services to serve him more quickly.

This amount of gold coins was high for Vicente, but for someone with a deadly dangerous problem for him and his group, this was an amount he sincerely agreed to pay to resolve the situation.

Still, Vice couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling the weight of spending so much on a problem he hadn't even considered until this morning.

'I have to do this. Maybe I can protect Nina through this guy.' He looked into the man's black eyes and said. "Very well. I agree—50 gold coins. I can pay you this afternoon. Can you assure me that you will have it done in a week at the most?"

"Of course. It will take me that long because there are so many people. But the ones who are most likely to cause you trouble will have already lost the memories you want to be erased within 3 days at the most after payment." Casey said.

He still didn't know that Vicente was Cesar, the wanted man with a reward of 200 gold coins under his head. But he could sense that Vicente was dangerous.

Looking at some of the memories of this person moments ago, he shuddered as if a monster was looking at him from inside Vicente.

With that in mind, he would not make empty promises to such a person and is determined to keep such an agreement with Vicente.

With that, the two of them would quickly establish the rules of this service and sign an agreement.

In Polaris Realm, every deal was confirmed by agreements. After all, one person would hardly trust another to the point of revealing vital information about themselves in a service like this. But without information, such services would not be possible.

Vicente knew he could get away with doing business with a man who would eventually find out about his relationship with guns and the bounty on his head. So, there was no way he could agree to pay 50 gold coins without such a deal to protect him.

After a few minutes of talking with Casey, he and this professional signed such an agreement, with both sides protecting each other and ensuring that neither could threaten the other for this service.

Magical contracts were easy to make. All you needed was a pen and paper; both parties should use their mana to write down their terms. The final signature had to be made with an oath to the heavens, which closed the contract between the parties and could bring heavy punishments for the one who did not keep the agreement.

When that was done, Vicente looked at Casey and thanked him, promising to come back later with the coins.

Casey didn't bother much with that, confident he would get his resources from Vicente. He didn't work for everyone. Only those referred by former clients had a chance of hiring him or knowing of his skills.

If Shelby had given Vicente her card, it meant she trusted or believed in the potential of this young Apprentice.

'Let me see what I can find out about you, Vincent Fuller. Maybe this job can connect me with someone promising.' He thought to himself, not at all eager for the coins.

As someone with a rare magical form, Casey needed resources far more than ordinary people. As talented as he was, the rarity of his gem was also reflected in the resources that could positively affect him.

So, while Vicente was leaving, this man soon began to prepare his things to leave for Martell Village later that day.

...

After leaving the Casey estate, Vicente felt a little less uncomfortable about his morning meeting with Nina's teacher.

Wanting to solve the problem in Martell Village as soon as possible, he quickly had one of his men bring him the 50 gold coins from his headquarters.

Later that day, he would pay Casey for his services and return to his daily activities in the field, continuing with his previous plans while awaiting the results.

The next seven days would be crucial to his future in Millfall!
