497 The Truth

After doing what was necessary to formalize his relationship with Nina, Newton said. "Nina, you arrived in the city with your sister today, right? So, I will give you three days to rest from the trip and familiarize yourself with the academy where you will complete your basic training. After that, we'll meet every day after your classes at the academy. You will accompany me until nightfall."

That meant she would be under Newton's tutelage for an hour or two.

"Is that all?" Nina asked unconsciously.

"For now, yes. When you finish the basic academy and turn 10, we'll increase it a bit. But it will be enough. You'll see that in no time." He patted one of her shoulders twice before turning to Vicente.

"Is that all right with you? Nina's caretaker can come along with one or two of her guards. Saltstar City is not a safe city, so she must have reliable people to escort her through the local streets."

lightsnοvεl Vicente agreed. "I know. I'll ensure they don't get in the way of Nina's studies."

Newton then looked at Eve. "Miss, why don't you show Nina around? You can look at any of the rooms here. You'll be coming here a lot in a short time, so familiarize yourself with the house."

Eve took one of Nina's hands and soon began leading the black-

haired young woman through the large residence while Vicente stayed behind with Newton.

"So?" The professor asked. "What happened in Millfall? You left early because of the fall of the Mazzanti family, right?"

Vicente expected to be asked about this and said. "Yes, we had to leave that city because we were deeply connected to the Mazzanti family. We may not have seemed that committed on the surface, but if we stayed there any longer, we'd have problems. So I decided to move forward."

"Yes, I'm not joking. But Cesar must have some time to prepare or flee. As much as the king has enough influence to ask the sects for help, it would take time to get a Paragon. Most likely, only the Sovereigns will get involved in the short term." Newton said, aware of the royal family's relations with outside powers and the difficulty of getting Paragons to move.

"Anyway, there are evils that come to good. Now that you're in Saltstar City taking care of Nina's future and staying out of trouble will be easier. As for Cesar, he's strong enough to grow up anywhere. And in a way, there was no reason for him to stay in Millfall anymore." Newton commented, trying to show Vicente the positive side of things.

"Yes, I think that's the case... Professor, I have an unrelated question." Vicente said.

"What is it?"

"I would like to gather information about a group called the Bone Mountains. I know the basics about them, but I'd like more in-depth information. Do you know where I can get that?"

"Bone Mountains?" Newton knew the name, although he didn't know any profound details about the sect. "It's a sect of the Chutha Dynasty. You should look into The Ruby Devils if you want information about them. This local mercenary group has detailed information about external forces relevant to the kingdom."

"The Ruby Devils? Are they going to sell me that kind of information now that they're in trouble?" Vicente asked.

"Of course. That is an easy way for them to raise funds. But it won't be cheap, so be prepared to lose a few hundred gold coins." Newton advised.

"Hmm, that's good," Vicente said as he looked at the ground, thinking he was close to his revenge.

'I will stabilize my situation locally and take a trip to the Chutha Dynasty. I'll take down the Bone Mountains first!' He clenched his fists with determination.

And so their conversation ended just before Nina and Eve finished their tour.

Soon after, they said their goodbyes and returned home to have dinner and rest after this long day.
