Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

The moment he saw a middle-aged man holding his mother, Rory stopped at the entrance to the living room of Heidi's apartment, feeling his heart beat faster.

Despite his mother's former profession, he had never seen her with a man the way he saw her now.

Seeing her and Julian so intimate, their clothes crumpled and out of place, he narrowed his eyes as his aura beca little tense.

"Who are you?" he asked with clenched fists as Heidi quickly straightened her clothes, her face flushed to the max as she left Julian's arms.

Julian laughed bitterly, blushing a little with embarrassment. He hadn't expected to meet his youngest son like this.

Hendi then said, laughing. "Rory, I'm sorry you have to see us like this. But you mustn't get angry. This is your father, Julian Bond. Quick, cand say hello."

"Father?" Rory's eyes widened when he heard that, as he looked at the Low-level Paragon in surprise, not expecting to see his father today.

He looked at his mother and Julian for a moment, wondering if this was real or skind of hallucination. "Is this serious?" He asked them both.

Heidi nodded while Julian took a step forward. "Rory, please accept my sincere apologies for not being present in your life. I've been absent all these years for my own reasons. Don't blyour mother for hiding who I was. It's all my fault."

Rory looked into Heidi's eyes and saw that she was smiling at him, as if asking him to be nice.

Rory didn't care about his father, who the man was, where he lived, etc. It would have made a difference if he had grown up with a father, but he was already an adult and the past wouldn't change.

He didn't need a traditional family now, so for his own sake, he would never waste his ttrying to have a good relationship with the man. But when he saw the look on his mother's face, Rory understood this person was important to her.

"Sigh! It's okay. I'm not mad at either of you, okay? Don't worry, my mother toldyou're from the Kenyth Empire, so we're fine." Rory revealed.

"Oh?" He looked at Heidi, while he couldn't help but think his son probably didn't want to see him...

"I should have cearlier, but I will not make excuses for my mistakes. I've been wrong about a lot of things in the past, but I hope I won't be wrong again." He said sincerely, regretting he had left Heidi without insisting that she cwith him to the Kenyth Empire, and that he had not visited her over the years.

Heidi and Julian's hearts cooled considerably until the three of them sat down in the room to have a family talk.

Rory listened to his father talk about the family he would meet if he ever went to the Kenyth Empire. Then, he talked about himself and answered sof the man's questions about his magical journey.

Julian had a green talent, like Rory, but he hadn't grown up as fast as his son. Hence, the man was naturally curious to hear about the journey of this youth who reminded him so much of his past.

They spent the rest of the evening talking about their stories and getting to know each other a little better.

Since they both had the stype of magical form, they would eventually fight each other to test each other's powers.

Julian would, of course, be pleased to see how strong his son had becand couldn't help but be grateful to Vicente for taking the boy along on his journey of power.

Rory had certainly tried and worked hard. But without the opportunities created by Vicente, the redheaded boy would not have becso impressive.

Anyway, they would only be together for a few hours, as Rory had his duties in Martell Village.

But this short twould be enough for them to get to know each other better and to think differently about each other.

...

Over the next few days, Rory and his father would meet a few more times as this man cand went from Martell Village.

But just as he was about to visit the boy again to join him in a fight against monsters, Julian received a message from Heidi telling him to stay in the city.

The train of nearly 800 survivors from Saltstar City arrived in the city this morning, bringing news of what had happened in the city and how close Vicente should be to returning.

If Julian stayed in the city, along with the various representatives of the outside powers of the Seidel Kingdom who were there for the sreasons he was, he would not be disappointed.

At dusk in Metal City, Vicente and Nova would return after nearly two months of traveling around the province!

After the previous incident, they went to Dryhaven and retrieved what Nova wanted to pick up from her family's house. Returning to the city in a hurry, they made their way here faster than the train they had sent from Saltstar City.

As soon as he entered Metal City, Vicente noticed several powerful auras from people he didn't know.

"We have visitors." He said in a serious tone, while Nova frowned, remembering the previous situation.

"Are they more members of the Congregation of Revelation?" She asked him in a low voice.

"We'll see." He didn't rush, but quickly made his way to the family's mansion, ignoring the many people along the way who congratulated him on his new level.

As soon as they arrived at the Fuller mansion, they ran into Lauren, Nina and Eve standing around, with the strongest one in the area, unable to help but comment to him in surprise.

"Did you find the vampire's technique? How did you get to mid-level so fast?" Lauren asked, as she felt how powerful Vicente's aura was.

Vicente smiled at his older sister. "I don't need it. But I really found it."

Lauren took a step forward, not expecting her silly comment to be true.

"Where is it?"

"I destroyed it. A group of Congregation of Revelations members attackedafter I finished my business in Saltstar City. Fortunately, they underestimated me."

The three women listened with their mouths agape, unable to believe that someone would be bold enough to do such a thing, and that he had access to such a technique and destroyed it.
