Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 925 Vicente's Inheritance

925  Vicente's Inheritance

"Maybe..."

With Vicente's answer, Layla and Nova looked at each other for a moment, still with worry in their hearts, the expressions on their faces were not good. But silently, they believed it was possible.

'With Vice's talent, six pentagrams capable of evolving, a place stronger than the northern Polaris Realm, and some luck, he could grow up quickly.' Layla thought silently.

Nova thought the same. 'Maybe he can. The history of the change between the continents probably won't change. But it's possible that he'll find a loophole by getting stronger.

It should have been impossible for Lauren and Nina to recover, but he managed to make them both better... We also know nothing about what happens during the ascension to the Supreme Continent. If there's some kind of benefit to that, maybe he'll get there even stronger than he is now.'

Why did Nova think of the possibility of a benefit from simply going to the Supreme Continent? Normally, a qualitative improvement would bring a general improvement to a magician's overall strength. As one moved up a stage, they would feel improvements in all of their characteristics, even in essences that didn't evolve naturally, such as bestial-origin pentagrams.

Perhaps there was an additional benefit to ascending to the Supreme Continent? Nova didn't know, but she didn't rule out the possibility.

With these thoughts, she still felt pessimistic and sad, but less so.

"What now?"

"Now I make the armor I can make. I'll strengthen the armor that already exists in our domains, strengthen the defenses of the cities and our territory. If I'm here for at least a few months, I can at least leave you prepared for my absence." Vicente replied to Nova.

The two women looked at him in silence, but kept their feelings to themselves.

He adds, "I will try to spend the early mornings and evenings with you. I will use my time during the day to make these improvements.

I don't want to leave without living with you and Annie."

Nova and Layla thought about telling him to focus on Annie and the improvements he needed to make, but they knew Vicente wouldn't accept that.

After all, they were willing to sacrifice themselves. But he wouldn't allow it, at least not now, when he could still be with them.

Nova stood up and said, "In that case, you'd better get started. We can't waste a second."

Vicente stood up as well and nodded in agreement. "I'm going to talk to Annie for a while and then I'll start the production of the new armor. But before that, I want you to work with our men and allies to make it look like you've left the Seidel Kingdom and no longer live here."

He saw the looks of disbelief on their faces and explained. "The vampires are probably already looking for information about me. They'll come to Metal City, eventually. But if we make it look like my family left the state, we can fool them for a while."

They understood what they had to do and promised him that they would do their best to buy him as much time as possible.

Doing what he asked was not difficult. All they had to do was start spreading rumors, pretend to leave the city, and then disappear from public view. Within a few weeks, news of their departure from the kingdom would reach even their allies.

Vicente trusted his wives to carry out this plan, then returned to Annie in the garden of the estate, where he played with the little girl for half an hour before going to his smithy on the estate.

...

Two weeks would pass in the blink of an eye after Vicente's return to Metal City!

Two quiet weeks for his family, with Lina's return, but also with Vicente's progress in his plans to produce new armor for the family.

With the materials he had in his spatial ring and in the family's warehouse in the city, he produced 17 new 6th stage armors, even more efficient than the ones he used to escape from the Citadel. In addition, he produced another 50 pieces of 5th stage armor, more than anyone else in the region.

Unfortunately, he lacked the high-quality materials to produce armors like those 17. Without those materials, he could only produce armor slightly above the standard peak quality of the 5th stage.

In addition, he upgraded the armor available in the city, doing so in secret while rumors spread about his arrival in the city and then his departure with his family.

Only the most important members of the family knew he and the core of the Fuller family were still in the Seidel Kingdom. Therefore, in the short term, his plans were to first help the groups and cities that were most under his control in Scott Province.

In the meantime, he had spent time with his family, making himself available to Annie and their wives in the mornings and evenings. With his ability to open wormholes, he could even go out of the realm and return the same day.

In this way, he gradually taught Annie more important things!

...

"Annie, soon I won't be here anymore. You'll have to take care of your mother and aunts for me," Vicente said as he finished upgrading some more armor in his forge, wiping his sweaty face with a handkerchief.

A chubby little girl watched him from a small wooden chair, her eyes wide and shining as she looked at her father.

Annie was already quite intelligent, aware of the calamity on the continent and her father's role in it. She had heard from him several times that he wouldn't be around for much longer and had understood, even though she didn't want to.

She still got teary-eyed when she heard her father talk about it, but that had gradually changed since he had started asking her for favors.

"Will you do it for me? They'll be safer if you take care of them." Vicente bent down beside Annie and kissed her forehead.

"I'll do my best, Daddy!"

"Good girl. I'll teach you my trade and leave you a gift before I go. I want you to use it wisely to help them. These will be your weapons." He said stood up, leaving Annie to think about what this gift would be.

Meanwhile, he had the Cataclysm Moon Pendant in mind, an item that had its problems but could refine extremely strong negative powers.

'I would leave the Dragons' Amulet with you if I could, but this item is too powerful, Annie. The Cataclysmic Moon Pendant can affect you even if you do nothing. I'm afraid it will make you suffer a little, but it will give you good power.

With my blood and the Cataclysm Moon Pendant, you'll be able to become a Magus!'
