Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 994 Agreement

Chapter 994  Agreement

"Tribe Elder!" Not only did the lions in the surrounding area against Vicente's group shout, but also Rex, naturally recognizing the main Flaming Lion of this settlement.

He wanted to introduce Vicente to the tribe's council, but Rex hadn't expected the strongest of the tribe to come to them like this!

Freezing where he stood, Rex didn't know what to say as the giant creature ignored him to look at Vicente.

As a glorious Flaming Lion, the Tribe Elder didn't like the idea of having one of his own taken over by a magician. It was offensive and dishonorable. It would have been better if Rex had died!

But he wasn't a Grand Magus by coincidence. Recognizing that Vicente was not normal, the Elder did not kill Rex immediately, as many would have done in his place. He ignored the beast in restrained form near Vice and looked straight into the eyes of the most formidable human he had ever met in his life.

This lion had seen many powerful magical warriors, but none newly promoted to the 7th stage gave him the sensation coming from the small body in front of him now.

It was as if Vicente's body was made of darkness and shrouded in light, something extremely contradictory to the old lion. He couldn't help wishing for a conversation with the boy who had overpowered Alard.

"Human, accompany me with your new beast. The rest of the tribe monitor our guests, but don't mistreat them." Ordered the creature, quickly making Bert and Garin break out in a cold sweat, while Vicente took Rex in his hands and moved on.

"Bert and Garin don't cause trouble. I'll talk to the Elder and we'll go back to Ponddown later."

The 2-Star Grand Magus looked back with a peculiar look, seeing the absolute confidence in Vicente's words. A mere 1-Star Magus was sure that he would make it out of this powerful tribe alive!

'Interesting. That really is a unique entity.' He smiled as he ran into the depths of the Flaming Lions tribe, leaving the previous rocky area to reach a magmatic area in the depths of an underground volcano.

In this place, Vicente spotted other lions of high cultivation, late 7th stage and early 8th stage. But the Elder was the strongest of them all, with no one else in the entire tribe at the second level of the 8th stage.

Each step of cultivation at high levels was an almost insurmountable difference for most creatures. Reaching the beginning of the 8th stage was for very few and even fewer managed to go far during their lives.

Those who reached the end of the 8th stage or even the 9th stage were among the strongest and most talented in Anicane, creatures who led their islands and could even explore the Stars' Sea.

Vicente observed his surroundings as he heard the creature lying down in a crater. "Vicente is your name, right? Where do you come from, human Vicente? Creatures like you don't appear in Light Cay."

Vicente didn't intend to lie to a creature capable of reading his heart and killing him. He answered truthfully, "I come from a plane called Polaris Realm."

"A plane?" The creature immediately frowned. "How is that possible? That's even more absurd than being a native of Light Cay!"

Although individuals from lower planes have their advantages when they become stronger, most of them had weaknesses in their first moments in Anicane. It took time for someone like Vicente to become an insurmountable mountain.

The other lions remained silent, letting the Elder take care of the matter while they had their doubts about Vicente's origin, despite being aware that it was the truth. There was no malice in Vice's words, and he was being genuine in every physical and spiritual gesture.

Vicente continued, "Elder, I don't want to go into detail about my unique characteristics. But I will not pretend that I'm normal. On the plane where I was born, I was the strongest for my level, not only of my generation, but of the entire history of Polaris Realm.

Now that I'm in Light Cay, I know that I'll do the same here as long as I have the strength to keep moving forward. And that's why I'm here." He made a common Polaris Realm gesture of greeting, but one that represented his commitment well. "Having the support of the Flaming Lion Tribe will certainly take me to that step.

I didn't attack a member of your tribe on purpose, Elder. I met Rex by chance, a meeting of fate, I suppose. But now that we're connected, I don't wish for a bad relationship with your people. On the contrary, mutual support is what I seek."

The larger, stronger lion remained silent, eyeing the young man as he considered the variables. Vicente was a great unknown. Letting him live was very uncertain. However, the Elder had never seen or felt anything like the young magician in front of him. He was genuinely curious.

But more important than his curiosity, he had an unwavering commitment to his tribe. Looking at Rex, he considered.

"Losing to a weak opponent is a disgrace, and the loser is worthy of death," said the great lion in a harsh tone. "But losing to the controller of darkness and light is not the end. It is only natural for the weakest to serve the strongest."

That was the supreme law of the jungle!

"Born as Alard, now Rex, you have been given a new life at the hands of Vicente, The Singular." He softened his words, but still sounded powerful and hard to interrupt. "Go forward on your master's side and unite our tribe with his interests. May your relationship begin a journey of mutual benefit for us all!"

Vicente smiled as he saw the great lion's intelligence at work. The lion could easily kill him. But killing him would be of no benefit to the tribe compared to its current situation. Leaving him alive, however, could spell trouble, but also a favorable revolution for them.

Looking at Vicente, the lion said, "Well then, let's seal our relationship with the fire of Prometheus. May the Lord of Flames bless the path of darkness and light that awaits you."

Vicente felt one of his hands enveloped in a stream of magma, which connected him to the Tribe Elder, sealing their partnership agreement.

"Now we must answer your questions. Go ahead, Vicente, ask what you long for and we'll show you the truth."
