Chapter 124 How?

Hearing a voice he already knew, Vicente remembered the blond man who had come to talk to Nova at the local mercenary guild a few days ago.

He ordered his men to put masks on their faces and went to the entrance of his building, opening the door to the group of royal army soldiers knocking at his door.

Rory immediately looked at Vicente when he saw a blue beauty standing outside the building along with 5 other members of the royal army who were there for business with his group.

Vicente looked at Nova and smiled. "Captain Bain, it's good to see you again." He said, ignoring the other 5 soldiers, especially the blond level 4 man, the same as Nova's and the rest of the personnel there.

Most of them were men. Seeing this criminal talking to Nova like she was his friend made them feel irritated.

In their eyes, 'Cesar' was a criminal. How could someone dirty from the underworld speak to the beautiful and fair Nova?

Even the other woman in the group narrowed her eyes and looked at Vicente.

Nova already knew how this guy was and said. "Cut the small talk, Cesar. We are here on serious business. Did you attack a Defiant Tyranny building tonight?"

Defiant Tyranny was officially a mercenary group that provided support services to local businesses. Outside the underworld, it was an organization that 'played by the rules,' paid 'taxes,' and, as such, had its rights.

If they did things in the underworld that they shouldn't, few would talk about it, as there was no official record of the group in the Martial Court or the royal army.

Even if everyone there knew the kind of things Defiant Tyranny did, they were there to act on behalf of one of the local organizations that criminals had just attacked.

Vicente saw how corrupt this royal family organization could be, but he said nothing. The corruption of the leaders of these people could also be useful to his interests!

He replied to the beautiful Nova. "No. I spent the night with my men working on our projects. I meditated for most of the night, as evidenced by my cultivation. I just advanced and became a Senior Apprentice." He said in a good-natured tone, annoying those who felt he was to blame for what had happened that night.

"Can you prove it?" Nova asked.

"I have all my men as witnesses that I spent the night doing this." He pointed to his building with one of his arms.

Rory explained. "I personally trained with Cesar tonight."

"Tsk! I don't believe it!" The blond man in royal army armor exclaimed.

The other woman in the group added. "Your people don't count as witnesses, Cesar. They're obviously protecting you in case you did something you shouldn't have."

Vicente was silent as Rory said. "We don't have to prove our innocence, Captain. It's the people of Defiant Tyranny who have to prove us guilty. But they have no proof of that, do they?"

"If that's all you have to say, good night," Vicente said to these people.

As strong as the royal forces were, greater laws still prevented them from acting tyrannically. Even in the current situation, where they could act and justify themselves later, Vicente wasn't afraid of them.

After a few conversations with Nova, he realized she seemed honest, even though she worked among the corrupt. He honestly didn't think that these people would attack him without evidence.

However, he thought that this did not mean that Vicente was unprepared!

If they acted, they would be in trouble, as almost half of the men on this estate had their upgraded weapons pointed at Nova's group!

The blond man saw Vicente move to close the door and put his foot down halfway. "Not so fast, Cesar. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you hiding something from us?"

"Not at all," Vice replied, annoyed by this man. "Do you have anything else to say? I know you don't have evidence against my people."

"Let us in." The blond man said with a smile on his face. "If you have nothing to hide, let us search your property."

Defiant Tyranny had already announced that one of its men was missing. As a result, several groups of the royal army were already knocking on the doors of local forces that might have acted against this criminal faction, searching for traces of the body.

If they found it, they would have the proof they needed to act!

The commander had ordered his men to be neutral and not favor any side, just follow the real rules that night. But this blond man felt that 'Cesar' was lying and was to blame for all the chaos tonight.

Vicente looked at the blond man while Rory watched him in anticipation.

"Some of my men are meditating. Could you give us a few hours? I don't want to risk my people's lives. I can stay by your side while they finish. Being near Nova is always nice." He said in a hateful tone to the men over there.

"You bastards!"

"We will not do what you say! Captain, let's go to the building!"

Some of them encouraged the blond man, the leader of this group.

"Tsk! Being watched has never stopped anyone from meditating!" The leader of those soldiers said. "Open the way now, or we will act!"

Vicente opened the way and allowed these people to enter his property.

He had already disposed of the body of the man he had kidnapped. But he did not want to let these people into his property because of the things he had stolen from his enemies. There were things there that could give away what he had done hours ago!

'Are we going to be okay, Vice?' Rory felt his back sweat at the thought of those items in the vault of this property.

But Vicente scared Rory even more with his following words.

"You want to see my vault?"

Gulp!

'What are you doing, Vicente?' Rory's eyes went wide.

Nova saw that her leader was trying to cause unnecessary trouble and stepped forward. "Yes. I'd like to check your safe. Rest assured, Cesar, we will keep the secret of your possessions if there is nothing compromising in your vault.

He then led the way, leading them through this property directly to where the vault was.

Halfway there was the training room in the basement of the building, where one of the men from the group of soldiers promptly went to search the area for bodies.

Rory went with this person to this room. At the same time, Vicente followed alongside the other 5 royal soldiers to the vault, a place completely surrounded by metal, specially built for Vice.

This vault had a door similar to bank vaults on Earth, a bit different from what you would find in the Polaris Realm.

But these people didn't pay much attention to that, and soon they were looking at Vicente, waiting for him to open the door.

"What are you doing? Why don't you open it?" The second woman in the group asked.

"This vault is special. It can only be opened if I use my ability..." Vicente explained. "Do you have a problem with me doing that?"

"Open it!" The blond shouted.

Hearing this, Vicente laughed under his mask and didn't hesitate to show his bright red pentagram and move the metals behind the door.

A minute and a half later, a loud click sounded, and the door moved.

"Please..." He motioned for Nava to go ahead and see what was inside.

When she opened the door and saw the approximately 10 square meter interior of this vault, Nova soon noticed over 80 gold coins of value in there, but nothing out of the ordinary.

"You got a lot of coins in here, huh, Cesar?" One of the men commented, feeling suspicious but seeing nothing that would give away Vicente's connection to the night's robbery.

"There are a lot of bandits around here that your group can't catch. I got a good chunk of those coins from them." Vicente replied, taking the opportunity to tease these people.

"You can't be serious." The leader of these soldiers said with an ugly expression on his face. "Where did you get the rest of these coins?"

"I had a life before I started my business in Millfall. Jeez, it seems I can't even have an inheritance." Vicente said in disgust.

At that moment, Rory came in with the other soldier, surprised to see this place practically empty of the items Vice had stolen that night.

'Where are the books and artifacts?'

For the next forty minutes, the group of soldiers would search Vicente's entire building. Unfortunately for those who wanted to see the fall of 'Cesar,' they would find nothing there.

Forty minutes after arriving at that place, those six soldiers left Vicente's property with nothing, thinking that he really had no connection to what had happened that night.

But Rory was curious when he saw these people leaving and asked.

"How? Even our men's weapons and armor are gone. What did you do with them?"
