Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 168 Vicente’s Awakening

Chapter 168 Vicente's Awakening?

As Millfall reacted to the news, rumors, and actions of the previous night, Vicente awoke in his residence.

After making sure that no enemies were watching the place, his men settled down to keep an eye on the area while their boss recovered on his own.

After a night of action, not only by Vice's group but also by these men, who had faced the beasts of The Rocky Gorge on more than one occasion, they had used up all the restorative potions they had.

But knowing that their boss was not seriously injured, these men had let him rest and recover on his own from the moment they arrived at this place an hour and a half ago until now.

They wouldn't risk bringing in local doctors at this point and couldn't even if they wanted to. After last night, all the doctors in Millfall were busy treating the wounded assassins, the young master Symons and Nova.

But while most of them were waiting in Vicente's room, the bed sheets suddenly moved, and all the men there looked at him.

"Boss..."

They simultaneously said as they saw Vicente open his eyes and raise his upper body as if to defend himself or prepare for a fight.

But as he made this move, Vicente quickly formed a pained expression on his face. He brought his hands to his face, feeling an unprecedented headache.

Given the location of the Magic Gem in the head, it wouldn't be uncommon for someone to experience headaches, eye sensitivity, and other symptoms related to that part of the body after the kind of exhaustion he experienced.

But while his head felt like it was being split in half, Vicente felt pain all over his body, as if he had done a full-body workout the day before.

'Fuck! What is this pain?' He asked himself as the previous day's memories slowly returned to him.

Even though he hadn't been seriously injured the night before, he had done things that had used all of his muscles.

As he recalled the scenes of the previous night's battle, he understood why he felt as if a truck had run over him.

He looked at the three men in that room of his house, each in a different part of the room, one at the front door and two at different windows, rifles pointed out.

He sighed and said. "Thank you for saving Nova and me the other night. We would have become beast food if it wasn't for you."

"Don't say that, boss. We were just doing our duty." A level 1 Acolyte said, but he was delighted to be able to help.

Vicente and Rory were phenomenal. They had incredible powers and unparalleled advancement rates. It was important to these men to be able to help them, even though they were so much less talented. They were also pleased to give back some of what they had gained.

"Anyway, you did a good job the night before..." He said before worrying about his family. "But tell me what happened in Millfall after I left. Where is Nina? What happened after I passed out?"

One of the three stayed where he was, watching one of the streets outside the house, and said. "Young Miss Nina is with Shelby Staples.

When the incident broke out the night before, she came to this property and said she would take the Young Miss along with Eve to her property to keep them safe.

We had no choice, and Eve went along with her plan. After that, we joined the rest of the group to look for the boss."

Hearing this, Vicente frowned.

Despite his agreement with Shelby, he didn't like this woman. No matter how beneficial their relationship might be for the time being, nothing would change the way she had acted to get close to him.

Could she be contained in the short term? Probably, after all, she had signed a Magic Agreement with Vice. But that could change in the future, as she had already shown herself capable of using strategies that Vicente didn't like.

'After my situation in Millfall improves, I'll have to find a way to control this woman...' He thought before listening.

"But they're fine, boss. We got word that the three of them were seen leaving the Staples estate this morning on their way to the academy." Another of them said, reassuring Vice.

"Hmm, it seems that the enemy who acted against me the night before was the only one who knew my identity... That's not bad. Our losses last night may have been less than I thought." He commented quietly, sitting down on the bed.

"What about Nova?"

Another of the men said. "Another group of us did what the deputy ordered. They left her body in front of her house. Minutes later, an army group found her and took her to the royal army headquarters in town."

"Oh? That's good. She's important for our plans." Vicente said, but in his mind, he knew that what he wanted with Nova didn't justify saving her.

Logically, he should have let her die. That would have given him control over the situation he was in.

Of course, he couldn't be sure if that was the best thing to do, but Nova's death would end up with a great witness who could end Cesar's life.

But being 100% rational and logical was difficult even for a mafia leader. For his family and those he cared about, Vicente was willing to do crazy things.

That was his greatest weakness!

After a discreet smile, he asked. "What about the survivors? Has anyone else who chased me yesterday returned to Millfall?"

"Yes. Marcus Symons. Apart from him and Nova, no one else has returned to the town, boss." The man standing at the door to Vicente's room said this as he looked at his boss.

"Marcus Symons, huh?" Vicente closed his eyes and remembered this cockroach who had survived the situation the night before and then fled.

'It looks like I missed a great opportunity to solve my problem with your family.' Vicente clenched his fists, realizing that this would get him into trouble in the future.

Unfortunately, in this situation, Vicente had to focus on staying alive. He hadn't been able to concentrate on Marcus.

But if only young master Symons had returned alive, at least many of his enemies had perished the night before!

"But boss, we have good news. The deputy has killed Ryker, the leader of the Defiant Tyranny."
