Chapter 356 The Watcher Nina
‘Vicente, thank you for the pill. It helped me get through the last part of my breakthrough. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay to help you with your plans for the auction. In any case, I’ll try to return as soon as possible to join your plans regarding Snow Claw.’
Vicente read the message and did not blame Casey. This man had recently received information about a compatible beast that had probably formed a yellow pentagram.
He couldn’t miss this opportunity!
Vicente knew how important it was to find a compatible pentagram and how a magician could spend weeks, sometimes months, hunting for something compatible. Passing up an opportunity to hunt for something compatible in order to do other things was a risk that could slow down talented magicians.
Someone of lesser talent wouldn’t have too many problems, as they would have time to increase their power to the maximum they could without the stability provided by a new pentagram. But young, talented people couldn’t stay in this situation for long.
Such a thing could slow down the magician’s progress. At the same time, it could also lead to a situation where the magician had to absorb a pentagram of inferior quality to not be forced to stop his progress.
That was why Vicente had not stood in his subordinate’s way and let him leave without question.
“When Senior Rogers left, someone from the Staples family approached him.’ This man said to Vicente. Meanwhile, Nina secretly pretended that she didn’t understand anything, but she paid attention to everything.
Since Vicente didn’t want her to get involved in the family’s problems, Nina stopped asking questions and started watching in silence.
‘Rogers? Is this the man known around town as Mister Amnesia?’ She asked herself, having heard many rumors about this person but also having read the lips of some of her brother’s men who had spoken more than they should have in her presence.
Having already questioned her own friends and colleagues about this person, Nina knew more or less what kind of service Casey provided.
‘What exactly does big brother do? What is his relationship with Mister Amnesia?’ 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝒎
While Nina ate and pretended not to understand the situation, Vicente was not surprised by his soldier’s comment. “That’s not strange. Casey has been disappearing from his former employers for weeks since he started working for me. So it’s only natural that they’re looking for him. But it doesn’t matter. With what’s about to happen in the city, many things are about to change in Millfall.”
“Are you really going to move against him?” Eve looked seriously at Vicente, who was talking about the Viscount.
“I have no choice. That will be the best time to attack our enemies. That woman has made her plans very well, so I can’t let the opportunity pass. Acting after the auction might be more difficult, so I’ll bet on that moment.” Vicente commented.
“Be careful. I’ve heard how bad he is.” The blonde woman sighed, but she knew that the family’s peace depended on it.
They needed Millfall to be a safe and stable place. But the town would never be that as long as an enemy as powerful as the Viscount was alive and so close to them.
“I know.”
After that, they were silent for almost two minutes until Nina thought they wouldn’t suspect her question and opened her mouth. “Big brother, are you going to attend the auction that will be held in our city? I’ve heard that many important people will come to the city for this event.”
Vicente looked into Nina’s eyes and said while gesturing for her to understand him better. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take you with me, Nina. I’m going with some business partners, and I feel this event will be a bit dangerous. You’d better stay home with Eve and protect yourself. The city will be in chaos after this event.”
“Is that so?” She said in a sad tone, but inside, she was already expecting her brother wouldn’t take her to such an event. He obviously had other plans!
“I really wanted to go, big brother. I can’t go? I wanted to see the participants of this event. I’ve heard that other Viscounts from the province and other famous magicians will be attending the auction.
One of my colleagues said he heard from his father that someone connected to Miss Death might come to the auction.” Nina commented.
The children talked a lot. When Vice was of Nina’s age, he had already planned a series of robberies and what his future would look like until his Awakening.
Several things happened after he graduated that made him change his plans. Still, he had accomplished part of the things he had planned at Nina’s age.
Nina must have had her own goals and interests, something she certainly talked about with her friends. Vicente knew this and couldn’t help but sigh when he heard her talking about this event and its rumors.
“I won’t let you go to the auction, but if you want to watch the entrance to the auction grounds with Eve, I’ll allow it. But only if you return home before the event begins.” He said as he looked at Nina.
“Okay! Okay, we’ll do it like big brother said!” She agreed, liking what she’d heard, but even more so not for the chance to see experts, but to investigate her big brother further!
While Nine was celebrating with Eve, Vicente’s soldier thought about what she had said about Miss Death, a powerful magician who had become famous in the kingdom.
Miss Death appeared a year ago in a mercenary guild in the Seidel Kingdom and, in that time, had completed more than 3,000 missions, all hunting down wanted criminals, dead or alive.
Due to this extreme number, her nickname had spread throughout the kingdom, and even children talked about her.
‘Miss Death, huh? Is it really true?’ Vicente’s soldier thought to himself, curious about such a new figure in the kingdom.
Meanwhile, inside Vicente’s space of conscience, Torne heard it from inside his cocoon and couldn’t help but get serious.
‘Miss Death, huh? I wonder who gave her that name? It’s very bold to use old titles to call rookies.’ He thought of the Cataclysm Order, his old organization, which had the position of Mister and Miss Death as its ancient protectors, mighty people who had the power of life and death.
Upon hearing such a rumor, he immediately felt curious about this person.
‘I will watch for people from the Dark Path at this event. If I see anything strange, I’ll report it to my master.’ This ghost made up his mind while still in his cocoon, for it would take him a few more months to recover enough to leave this form.
