Chapter 465 Back to Millfall (2)

465 Back to Millfall (2)

Nico quickly accepted Rory's offer, and soon, one of the Mazzanti family's soldiers was taking him to get cleaned up and changed.

Meanwhile, Rory looked into Sarah's dark eyes and asked the obvious. "What happened? Why are you here?"

Sarah had left as a hostage, to either escape when she had the chance or die when she lost her value. Why was she still alive?

Sarah understood perfectly the thought of the men of the Mazzanti family looking at her strangely in the foyer of that mansion.

She laughed bitterly and said. "Cesar will tell you what happened when he gets back. But in short, after our whole journey, we made a deal that I wouldn't betray him in exchange for my freedom.

I helped him at Long Bay Correctional Facility and brought that man safely here. Now, I'm free to come and go as I please."

"Then what are you still doing here?" Rory didn't doubt it because he didn't believe Vicente would let this woman get away. Besides, there was no reason for her to bring Nico to this place unless there really was an agreement between her and Vice.

Sarah looked in the direction of the training room and started walking toward the stairs. "I have nowhere to go after Cesar destroyed The Faceless Ones. Even if I didn't take part in the battle that day, I would be hunted by the members of the Congregation of Revelations. I'd rather stay with you for now. That won't be a problem, will it? The help of a Mid-level Mage should be of some value to your group." She said, causing several men to make surprised expressions.

"You want to join us?" Rory was surprised, not expecting a former enemy they had severely damaged to join their group. "Are you serious?"

"I have no choice. Among you, I'll at least be able to hide and have resources... But don't think I only have strength to offer, Deputy. I've been in The Faceless Ones for a long time. I can help your group expand its operations to Ironcrest!" She said as she stopped in front of the stairs and looked back with a sly smile.

Rory's eyes narrowed. 'That really has value. A Mid-level Mage and information about the Ironcrest area, its businesses, and influential people...' "You can stay between us for now." Rory decided. "But don't push your luck, Sarah. Walk the line until our Don returns. He will determine your position in the future."

"Don't worry. I don't intend to leave or interfere in your affairs."

...

Pulling up to the Fuller estate, Rory stopped and faced the man. "Well, that's all. I think you understand how delicate the situation is for all of us. When in doubt, try to act in a way that protects your daughter. That will be enough. Now go. I'm sure you'll look forward to seeing her again."

"Thank you, Deputy. Nico Ostell will never forget what you did. I am willing to serve you forever!" Nico bowed his head in appreciation.

"Hmm, welcome to the family."

With those words, Rory watched Nico enter the Fuller residence, where this man would soon be reunited with Eve after all the suffering of their Ostell family.

Eve's mother was still missing, but after Nico's rescue, the blonde woman became more confident that one day, she would have her whole family together again.

...

As Eve and Nico reunited, shedding 'gallons' of tears and soon beginning to talk about the things that had happened since they had last seen each other, a man in a hoodie and beanie arrived in Millfall.

Entering this city for the first time, this person had hidden his magical cultivation as he walked through the shadows, hiding from prying eyes.

Behind the darkness of his face was a hateful expression, a look full of resentment, the look of someone who had lost everything and now wanted revenge.

'Cesar! So this is your city?' This man, who had reached the end of the 3rd stage of magical cultivation, thought as he looked down at Millfall from the rooftops of an estate.

'I will soon return everything you gave me, you bastard! Don't be surprised if your men fall into my hands one by one!' He clenched his fists as an evil grin appeared on his face.

'When you least expect it, we'll meet again!'

A clap of thunder sounded in the surrounding area, marking the beginning of a local storm as that person disappeared from the roof.
