Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

"Will that work?" Jasmine asked as she looked toward the exit, where the last person to sign a deal with Vicente had just passed.

"The chances of it not working out are slim. But if something does happen, our situation will be very different from what it was in the past, and we will now have a golden opportunity in front of us." Vicente said confidently.

In addition to the vampire's body, it would take time for a possible witness who hadn't signed an agreement with him to do something to harm him by exposing his identity to the royal family.

Because of his preventive actions today, this might not happen. But even if it did, it would take weeks for the effect to take result.

That was plenty of time for the group to take advantage of what the vampire's body could provide them and become better prepared to deal with problems on the level of local royalty.

Vicente sighed and said, looking at Jasmine and Layla. "I want you two to handle today's incident from inside the Congregation of Revelations. Try to hold back the news that we've dealt with a vampire here. If that news reaches any relevant outside powers too quickly, we may not have enough time to digest what we've achieved today.

The same goes for you, Nova. Take care of the army and prevent news of this incident from reaching the royal family quickly." He looked at the blue-haired woman standing there.

"Sooner or later, the temple and the royal family will find out. But I want to prevent this from happening for at least 10 days. That time will be enough for us to use up most of what we earned today. After that, it will be very difficult for anyone to take anything from us," he said as he looked at them.

"I won't be able to hold on to this information for long, but I think I can do it for about 10 days," Nova commented.

"Same for me." Jasmine nodded affirmatively. "But the locals will talk about it. It's only a matter of time before it gets out of hand."

"I know. But the local population doesn't have the quick means of spreading it like your organizations do." He commented as he sat down on a large sofa next to Nina.

"I think you should return to your posts and take care of it. When I have the resources from the vampire available for consumption, I'll send you some things." He said to them.

Soon after, the three women left, leaving the core of the Fuller family alone in that living room.

"What about those other bodies outside our house?" Eve asked.

"The lesser vampires have almost no value. We'll use them to the family beasts." Vicente replied.

Lesser vampires, those transformed through the bite of a superior vampire, didn't have the same properties as the body of a superior vampire.

They could feed on other people's blood and become stronger that way. They had greater stamina, speed, agility, and other characteristics than when they were only magicians, and they could live much longer than magicians.

However, they couldn't turn magicians into vampires, they couldn't acquire the abilities of their victims, they were less resistant, less agile, and, in short, a little less of everything.

As such, their bodies, despite having their value, were not as unique as the bodies of superior vampires, those who were born into that race.

"But the monsters' bodies who came with that superior vampire are valuable. You should sell their useless body parts and keep what can be used by our men." He said, looking at Rory and Eve.

"What about the superior vampire's body?" Casey asked.

"You should call Newton for me. I'll follow his advice to separate the parts of the vampire. That being's blood is precious, so I'll share it with the strongest of the family." Vicente said before Rory and Casey left to settle these matters.

As he stood there with Nina and Eve, Vicente sighed, feeling a little tired from everything that had happened that day.

"I'm going to get some rest. Nina, avoid going out for now. The city is in chaos."

"All right, brother."

"Eve, take care of counting our men. See how many we've lost today, and also keep an eye on the civilian casualties. I want to know these figures when I've finished my rest." He said as he descended the stairs, heading towards his training ground.

"I'll do that." She commented as she stayed behind with Nina, happy that they had overcome yet another major challenge.

If all went well from now on, they would only have to deal with the preparations for the calamity set to take place after Nina's Awakening.

From now on, it would be time for the whole family to grow up and become stronger, turning this page in their history and starting a new journey.

'I think our luck will improve now,' Eve thought to herself as she went on to figure out what Vicente had asked her to do.

...

Despite the great calamity that struck Saltstar City that day, the local forces would eventually discover that the human losses had not been great.

Only 8 people in the whole city, including the men killed by the superior vampire's manipulation, died today.

The local Mages had acted very quickly and allied themselves to defend the city from the catastrophic effects of the combination of Vicente's and Rory's powers to stop the vampire.

As a result, the city did not suffer as much as the destruction of local infrastructure would suggest!

More than a thousand people were seriously injured, and 10,000 had minor injuries. However, with help already being provided by the local forces, they should all recover perfectly within hours or days.

The damage to the local infrastructure would take the longest to repair. Several buildings were knocked down, and others had their roofs blown off by the storm. Meanwhile, sewage and water supply channels were damaged and would need to be repaired.

However, as the 2nd and 3rd stage magicians would make themselves available to help with local repairs, between 3 and 6 months, the city could be back to normal.

But the cost of this would not be low. Even though most of the repairs required common materials and services, the city would still need to raise 1 million gold coins for this work.

Vicente and 49 other local families would cover this amount, with each party committing to contributing 20,000 gold coins to the city's restoration.

Thus, the first night after the battle against the superior vampire would arrive, while local anxieties and worries slowly subsided.

In the midst of this, Newton arrived at the Fuller estate as Vicente requested.
