Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

Chapter 437 Problem?

As soon as Vicente started reading Jonah's long file, he found out where exactly the man was being held, the cell number, the shifts of the soldier guards there, the times for sunbathing, eating, going to the doctor, and so on.

Everything Vicente needed to know about Snow Claw's prison routine was at the top of this prisoner's file.

Vicente reviewed all of this information, keeping the most relevant in mind so that he could make the necessary adjustments to his escape plan.

But in addition to the escape he needed to plan, he needed to know as little as possible about the person he was about to free. Unlike Sarah Mercer, Vicente didn't know much about Snow Claw.

He had first heard of such a provincial criminal from Shelby months ago and knew only a few rumors about Jonah.

Sarah was already a criminal, a member of The Faceless Ones, when Snow Claw was arrested, and news of his capture spread throughout the province at that time. But Vicente hadn't even been born yet then. The information he had was very different from that woman's, and his impression of the subject was also different from hers.

He trusted Shelby much more now than he had at the beginning of their relationship, but still, Vicente didn't trust her blindly.

Then he carefully read Jonah's entry, which told of his green-grade talent, an unusual magical form that allowed him to form a being of mana around himself. This magical form was described as phenomenal, capable of creating a giant of mana powerful enough to crush cities.

As if the ability to create a mana giant wasn't enough, this giant also had the special ability to reflect enemy attacks.

Snow Claw's magical form was such a being of mana. Each pentagram he absorbed added to the power of it.

It had three special abilities in addition to its natural characteristics related to its size.

Some magical forms were particularly advantageous to their users.?For example, Vicente could create metallic objects by activating his power once. He or others could then use such items until they were damaged.

In the case of a magician with a tool-type magical form, such as a sword, they could use their magical form whenever they wanted without using the powers of their pentagrams. Mana consumption would be minimal in this case, a clear advantage for such a person in combat.

Jonah, for example, could keep his mana active for a long time if he didn't use the powers of his pentagrams. He could even destroy cities without using too much of his power!

That's what made him so powerful that he could resist even Sovereigns!

'This guy is really out of the ordinary.' Vicente couldn't help but recognize Jonah's abilities. 'He really fought Sovereigns and wasn't far from winning! One of the two Sovereigns seems to have been badly injured after the fight.'

According to the file, a large part of his life sentence was for resisting arrest and fighting two Sovereigns.

The crime that had landed Snow Claw in prison was, believe it or not, non-payment of housing taxes!

Even though he was someone who had killed countless people, Snow Claw had been pursued by royal forces because he hadn't paid his housing taxes in Saltstar City!

Vicente laughed when he saw this. 'This is obviously a plot against him. He must have pissed off someone powerful enough to come after him.

But it shows how powerful he is! No one could find evidence of a more serious crime against him, so they made up this excuse to justify his arrest.

Probably, they already knew how strong Snow Claw was and sent those two Sovereigns.'

Vicente understood practically everything there was to understand about Snow Claw's case, and he could see why Shelby was so confident that this man's release would open up so many opportunities for them.

Snow Claw hadn't been arrested for anything he'd done. He had been the victim of a frame-up and had lost practically everything he had!

Not only had he been arrested and lost all of his possessions and belongings, but he had also stopped being present for the few people he cared about because of his arrest.

According to Snow Claw's records, his wife and only child had been murdered shortly after his arrest!

A man could accept the misfortunes in his path if he had caused them. But accepting unjust 'punishments' was something else entirely!

Having lost so much because of a plot he didn't even know how it had started, Snow Claw would surely seek individual justice if he could escape from this prison!

'Well, I don't think getting him released will be any problem. Shelby is right with her theories...' Vicente thought as he finished studying Snow Claw's case.

With that settled, all he had to do now was make his preparations according to what he had just learned in order to put his plans for this place into action!

...

The next day...

While Vicente's group was working on their rescue mission at Long Bay Correctional Facility, the Sovereign he had met days ago arrived back in the kingdom's capital.

Back in the command center of the royal army, the Sovereign quickly asked one of his subordinates to carry out a mission for him.

"Colton, I need you to do me a favor. See if you can find Greyson Rose. I met someone at Long Bay Correctional Facility who was from the Rose family, but I found his magical form very strange. I wanted to know more about this young man and his exact background." The Sovereign said to his local subordinate, a High-level Mage.

"The Rose Family? What a coincidence, old Holden is in the city, Colonel. Would you like me to bring him here? I don't think getting him to find time in his schedule to meet with you would be difficult." Colton suggested.

"Oh? Is the old man in the city?" The Colonel smiled as he hadn't seen his old teacher in ages. "Tell me where he was last seen. I'll go and talk to him about it."

"Okay, give me five minutes, and I'll get back to you with that information." This commander then left to find Oscar Rose's grandfather.

Meanwhile, the Colonel Vice had recently spoken to had a smile as he imagined how surprised his former teacher would be to discover who this Coronal had recently met.
