Taking the Mafia to the Magic World



Shortly after leaving the fourth part of the screening, Vicente met the Sovereign, who was in charge of this shift.

He had already removed all the items from his body that could change his appearance, be it his face, biometrics, voice, or aura.

The Sovereign could easily detect all of the artifacts responsible for these disguises, so he had already stored everything in a spatial ring when Torne told him to do so quickly.

No one had noticed him making his changes. Since the soldiers working on the triage would leave this prison at dusk, the only ones who could really find something wrong with Vicente or Sarah's appearance would be them and Evan.

Even if some newly arrived soldier had seen them earlier, it wouldn't caused them any problems. With so many newly arrived soldiers, one could simply think they were among the many people who hadn't noticed them earlier.

As for the two soldiers with different appearances who had disappeared, it would not be easy or quick to verify that they had disappeared to make way for two others.

With that, Sarah was the first to pass through all the screening levels, managed to reach the inner area of the prison, and had already begun to orient herself about her future duties there. 

Meanwhile, Vicente stood before the Sovereign, while Torne was 100% focused on helping his master if the need arose.

"Commander Oscar Rose, you're from Oxfell, right?" The Sovereign in this area commented when he saw Vicente using a common military greeting. 

This tall, thin man with short gray hair had a smile as he looked at the file of the soldier in front of him. "I didn't expect to find a fellow countryman here, hahaha. Have you left Oxfell long ago, young man?"

As the Sovereign looked him in the eyes, Vicente felt his heart beat faster, realizing that the difficulty of this check had just doubled for him.

But he had studied Oscar's identity and had information to convince this Colonel of the royal army.

"Yes, Colonel. I lived in Oxfell until I joined the army. After I started serving the royal forces, I went through a few posts in my home province until I found myself as a prison soldier. Because of my responsibilities, I never returned to Oxfell, but my family still lives in that small city."

Prison soldiers were second only to the kingdom's elite squad regarding responsibility. Given their responsibility to keep dangerous people locked up, these soldiers received some of the best pay in the army. In return, they had to abandon family and friends.

A prison soldier couldn't engage. That meant they couldn't take long vacations or travel constantly. Their duties severely disrupted their lives, which kept them away from their loved ones most of the time.

But that didn't mean they were people without families or didn't care about their loved ones!

Just as there were intimate visits for prisoners on Earth, there were such visits for prison soldiers in Polaris Realm. In addition, there was a city for soldiers called Military City, which was located near the kingdom's capital. That was the only place where such soldiers could stay when they weren't working and where their families could go during their holidays. 

So, there were recreational opportunities for people like Oscar, although they were limited.

That's why the Sovereign didn't find it strange that Oscar had left Oxfell a long time ago and never returned.

"Sigh... It really is a shame. I haven't been to my town for a long time either." This 4th stage fellow looked up at the sky and sighed, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

On Earth or in Polaris Realm, feeling nostalgic for the past was extremely common.

"Anyway, how's the Rose Family? You're the grandson of Old Tyrant Holden, right?" The Sovereign continued what he had to do, carefully checking Vicente's heartbeat.

Torne did the same, seeing how Vicente kept himself under control even while being interrogated by a Sovereign.

But that wasn't so difficult for Vicente. As someone who a former navy SEAL had trained to become 'immune' to the polygraph, this young man could easily control his emotions in the middle of an interrogation.

Vicente replied. "Yes, Holden Rose, the old headmaster of Rose's Academy, is my grandfather. How do you know him?"

The Sovereign laughed. "Your grandfather is much older than he looks, haha. This Sovereign here was his student when your great-grandfather ran that academy, young man. Tell me, is the old man still as grumpy as he was in my day?"

"Time intensifies everyone's faults and qualities, Colonel." Vicente smiled subtly.

"As expected... But don't take my words the wrong way, young man. As much as your grandfather was a pain in the ass, he was the best teacher I ever had. You should be proud of him."

"I am. One day, I hope to repay the opportunities he gave me and inherit his legacy."

The Sovereign closed Vicente's file, pleased to have talked to one of his countrymen.

"Before you do that, achieve as much as a soldier can, Oscar. If you work hard, one day, you may become a Sovereign. Don't think about paying your old grandfather back before then." He said as he opened the way for Vicente.

After thanking the Sovereign for such words, Vicente made his way to where Sarah awaited him.

Meanwhile, the Sovereign couldn't help but look at the young man with interest.

'The Rose family seems to have produced someone with a unique Magic Gem... Whose son is he? Is it Max? Or is it Kade? I'll find out when I get back to the capital. I want to know the origin of this magical shape.' The old man thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Vicente was in the dark about how dangerous the previous conversation had been.

He had no idea what consequences such a conversation would have on his life, only that he had achieved his goal of infiltrating Long Bay Correctional Facility in the short term.

As he listened to Torne praise him for his ability to lie to the face of a Sovereign, Vicente arrived at Sarah's side, from where he and she would watch Evan walk past the Sovereign minutes later.

As the three of them gathered in this prison, with no more screening levels to go through, they would soon split up, as they would have different responsibilities in this place.

Until their moment of action, they had to carry on as if they were soldiers fulfilling their responsibilities.

But they would have opportunities to meet at breakfast and dinner when they agreed to meet and discuss their plans in this place.

Until their plans were put into action, they would try to learn as much as they could about this place!

So began Vicente's journey at Long Bay Correctional Facility!
