Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Three days after Vicente's resources arrived in Saltstar City, a young-looking man with long black hair and tanned skin rode into the city on a horse.

The streets seemed as busy and quiet as they ever would in the middle of the morning, while the weather was pleasant over this city.

The murmurs here and there were not worrying; they spoke of normal everyday things in places like this. At the same time, the concentration of mana and elements seemed close to common.

Looking around the place for a few minutes after weeks away, Casey sighed as he didn't feel or hear anything worrying.

'It looks like that damn vampire hasn't arrived in the city yet.' He thought, and a smile formed on his face as his horse took him to the Fuller estate.

After just a few minutes of riding through this city, he arrived in front of the Fuller estate, where he turned his eyes to the huge black bird on the roof of that building.

'A Sovereign beast...' Casey looked at Onyx and imagined that Vicente had gotten another mount.

He didn't worry too much and headed inside the building.

"Where's our boss?" He asked one of the men on guard there today.

"He's training with Deputy Point in the training room." Answered a Low-level Mage standing guard at the entrance to that house.

Casey headed towards the basement of the property, where there was a large training room specially built to hold several magicians training or meditating at the same time.

The room covered the entire area of the property's basement, about 300 square meters, and it was 6 meters high between the upper and lower levels, where the property's resources were located.

It had defensive magic items to defend the building itself from damage caused by those training in the area and was resistant to even Sovereign training.

When Casey entered the place, he wasn't surprised to see Vicente and Rory combining their powers while there seemed to be a storm brewing in the enclosed space.

Strong winds came up when he opened the door to the place, to the point that he almost lost his balance and was thrown forward.

Casey quickly used his mana to pin his feet to the ground.

'That's...' He looked at Vicente and Rory, who were using their skills in tandem to transform the tranquil atmosphere of that space into something chaotic and difficult to deal with.

Some of the Mages in the family were watching this from the training room, feeling that if they weren't restrained and in an isolated place, this storm would be a few degrees more worrying and could bring calamity to a city like Saltstar City.

After Casey joined the group of Mages watching Vicente and Rory, the two reached the limit of their training today. They gradually reduced the amount of mana they were using.

Rory then began to absorb the heat from the environment, while Vicente used his skills to remove some of the elements responsible for storms.

The situation inside the training room gradually returned to normal, with the great noise that had been there a few moments ago disappearing and silence beginning to reign.

Rory and Vicente smiled as they looked at each other, satisfied with their performance in yet another training session.

They had been training together for days to improve their combat proficiency and generate large-scale effects against opponents they planned to target in the future.

Torne had predicted that they were quite compatible, so they had performed well in each training session.

In another week or so, they both felt they could use it against the vampire coming to Saltstar City!

"That was good training." Vicente squeezed one of Rory's hands as he broke the silence in the place.

The men there began to talk amongst themselves about how powerful that move would be when all conditions were favorable while Casey approached the two with a smile on his face.

"It looks like you'll be able to handle the damn vampire by yourselves." He commented as he greeted the two.

"I don't know," Vicente said, not knowing how strong that being was now since he had only tried to contain it at the time and hadn't necessarily tested its strength. At the same time, the vampire should be stronger now.

"This will be very important during my hunt for my fourth pentagram. Imagine how strong we won't be together when Rory is an Earth Sovereign and I'm a Sky Sovereign?" He smiled at these two.

"Hmm, that will be a memorable day. I hope to see that fight." Casey commented.

While they were talking, a family guard walked in and quickly approached them.

He looked at Vicente and said. "Boss, Miss Bain just sent you this letter."

"Oh?" Vicente took it and quickly began to read Nova's message.

"What does it say?" Rory asked. "Is it something personal or related to our plans?"

After reading it and forming a smile, Vicente put the letter away and said. "She got her promotion. She's now General Commander of the Saltstar City post."

Rory opened his mouth and was happy to hear that. "That's good. Our plans will go better that way."

"Hmm, she hasn't got our land yet, but she's already chosen the place she'll give us, and now it's only a matter of a few days before we get permission from the army to explore it."

Casey didn't know what this was about, but he didn't say anything, aware that he would soon learn about the family's latest plans.

Rory asked Vicente. "Won't she have trouble getting approval from the Martial Court?"

"No. She's forming her own faction within the province, and we already have a third of the court members on our side. She'll likely be able to get enough to get approval quickly." Vicente replied confidently.

"So what land will we get?" Rory asked curiously.

"Coincidentally, the land she'll pass on to us is near The Vile Altar, where I dealt with soldiers some time ago."

Rory remembered the soldiers who had tried to hunt down Vicente because of a 3rd stage herb.

"Near Millfall?" Rory asked in surprise.

"Hmm, near the border with Snow Province," Vicente said.

Why had Nova chosen such a place? Well, it was an area dominated by beasts and other types of magical beings, where the army or the noble forces of the state saw no potential to take an interest in the area. But this place had a concentration of mana similar to Saltstar City, and its position was strategically interesting.

Why was that? Well, if monsters were going to wreak havoc on the continent in a few years, it would interest Vicente's group to have a good place to protect themselves and the province.

The province was what generated resources for them, so it wouldn't do to lose it. It was very interesting to have a city completely dominated by them in an area where they could prevent monsters from entering the province.

Nova's chosen location fulfilled this very well, which is why she chose it and why Vicente had no problem with it.

"We'll just have to wait for the vampire. Once we've solved that problem, we can start our project there and go to the altar of the order near the capital."
