Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 243 Important Agreement?

"In your case, Cesar, you should be worried about your situation," Newton said, making Vicente's three soldiers look at him with concern.

"I don't want to scare you, but since it's impossible for you to have a third pentagram in your body generated by a second Magic Gem, we must consider that you need an extra essence to maintain your foundation." Newton speculated. "Perhaps you have something else within you that maintains the stability of your magical foundation. But since we don't know that for sure, we have to assume you don't have anything like that."

"So what am I supposed to do, Professor?" Vicente asked curiously, but not as worried as the white-haired man thought he was.

"Since you absorbed a yellow pentagram instead of the second space for it, I advise you to make an effort to absorb a green pentagram when you become a Mage." He said while Vicente's men looked at their boss, fearing what this might mean for their leader.

What was wrong with absorbing a green pentagram upon reaching the 3rd stage? There were many problems!

First, the difference between an orange pentagram and a yellow pentagram was much smaller than the difference between a yellow pentagram and a green pentagram.

Second, while 3rd and 4th-stage beings could form yellow pentagrams, green essences could be formed by 4th and 5th-stage beings.

How would their leader deal with Sovereigns or Paragons if he would be only a Mage?

Vicente was powerful and could fight those of a higher level than himself. But the higher one was the greater the differences. In other words, his chances of defeating stronger opponents would decrease the stronger he became!

That was a big problem!

'Damn it, do we have to rely on naturally formed pentagrams?' One of the three level 1 Acolytes thought to himself, sensing how problematic this would be.

'I hope the boss can keep upgrading our weapons. Maybe then we'll have a chance to help him.' Another one of them pondered, aware that this wasn't just about Vice getting stronger. Not only was it a problem for him to get stronger, but it was also something that could determine his life and death. contemporary romance

If he couldn't fulfill such a requirement, his mana could become unstable and lead to his own demise!

"I see..." Vicente replied to Newton's words in a pessimistic tone, trying to hide the truth of his situation.

Newton shook his head regretfully. "Unfortunately, that's the case. But let's not get too discouraged. Maybe there's something in you that can explain your situation, Cesar. So you shouldn't worry for now."

"Yes, I've just absorbed my second pentagram, so I should be fine until I reach the 3rd stage..."

"Yes, it's not a short journey. Take your time now to realize your goals and live your life. When the time comes, we'll deal with this problem."

"Will we?" One of Vicente's men opened his mouth.

Newton answered. "If Cesar doesn't mind, I'd like to follow his progress. It is, of course, in my scientific interest.

In exchange for regular meetings to analyze you and discuss your progress, I will focus part of my time on trying to find answers for you, including gathering information on compatible pentagrams.

That's all I can do."

Newton wanted to see how far someone like Cesar would go to develop theories and even new tools.

To do this, he wanted to not only accompany Vicente on his journey but also help him find essences that were compatible with him.

That could make Vicente stronger, but that was all Newton wanted!

'The further you go, the better the data I collect.' Newton thought, not caring how it might affect the kingdom or even his superiors.

He was committed only to the pursuit of knowledge. He didn't care about the chaos his actions might cause, even for his supporters!

He added. "Of course, I guarantee you the secrecy of your information. I'll keep it secret as long as you decide to."

Vicente looked at Newton and understood this person.

He had seen scientists and professionals on Earth who were willing to accompany people like him into special situations for free just to collect data and use it to their advantage.

Newton didn't offer to help him for Vice's benefit. Vicente knew that. He was doing it for himself, for his own selfish reasons.

But was that a problem for him?

No! People were selfish by nature!

Vicente would rather deal with someone like Newton than with a hypocrite who pretended to help him while hiding his real interests.

Vicente knew he would gain a lot if he made a deal with Newton.

'Newton will be someone great, that's for sure. As someone able to learn everything, he'll increase the number of professions he masters and develop a lot in his magic.' Vicente stared at the white-haired man in silence.

With the kingdom's support, he has practically no chance of dying prematurely. Besides, he should have great resources at his disposal.

'He'll definitely grow a lot and could really help me find better pentagrams for myself... Even though I'm not worried about my situation right now, there are no guarantees for the future.

His help could even save my life and allow me to take revenge.'

Vicente responded to Newton's suggestion. "All right. But how would we do that? I can't be with you all the time. I have my own business and problems."

"How about we meet twice a year? Once I come to you, and once you come to me." Newton replied. "That should be enough for me to follow your growth and understand your characteristics well enough for you to reach the 3rd stage."

"Okay. Twice a year will work for me."

With that, the two shook hands, a tradition this place had in common with Earth.

Vicente's three soldiers rejoiced at yet another positive agreement for their leader, imagining that it could take him further in the future and even improve his chances of concluding the ridiculous deal made earlier.

"If you can't fulfill the agreement you made earlier, I'll see how I can help you... For now, just do what you have to do. We'll meet in Millfall in a few months. Is that good enough for you?" Newton asked after signing the agreement between him and Vicente.

Vicente agreed. "Thank you for your understanding, Professor Newton. I hope I can pick up some tips from the senior in the future."

"Hmmm, how long do you plan to stay in Ironcrest?" Newton asked.

"A day or two. I have some business to take care of, and then I'll head back to Millfall."

"Is that so? Then I'll be out of your way. But I hope to test you for real in six to seven months. Today's meeting was only an introduction. The next time we see each other, we'll be doing serious things. So prepare at least a week for our meeting in a few months."

"I will do that," Vicente spoke before saying goodbye to Newton.
