Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

Chapter 515 Cold Interests?

?"Did all this happen?" Vicente's grandfather asked in a strange tone. 'What a shame. How could an innocent young man suffer so much?'

He mourned his loss. Kate was his first child. But Kate was already dead, and her suffering had been momentary. Vicente, on the other hand, was alive and had been suffering since her death.

"It happened, unfortunately." Vicente didn't elaborate much, while both of them felt a mixture of emotions: grief, anger, regret, frustration, in short, many sensations that made them let go of their many years of experience and remain silent, not knowing what to say.

"What now?" Vicente's grandfather, Axel, asked his grandson. "I heard you talking about revenge. But think about it, boy. If I could, I would avenge your mother and save your sister Lauren. But we must know our position. Ordinary people can't challenge Sovereigns."

Vicente was anything but normal, but he had no intention of explaining that to his grandparents.

"I am aware of that. Don't worry, I'm patient. I won't act until I'm ready."

The old man shook his head negatively but didn't insist, knowing he had no right to tell Vicente what to do, having never been a part of this young man's life.

Hana said. "Then take it easy. Prepare well, son. Don't act until you have everything ready and as much information as you can gather. There's nothing more powerful than time. As long as you're patient, you'll be more powerful, more influential, more intelligent, and more prosperous. Time will give you the chance to get your revenge.

Axel agreed. "We can't do much for you except wish you luck and open doors for you. If one day you change your mind or need a place to stay, come with your other sister. We will welcome you into our home, even though we don't have much to offer.

These words touched Vicente. Considering the quarrel these two had with Kate and Andrew, he thought they would be different.

But Axel and Hana had problems with Kate and Andrew in life. They had both died, so it was only natural that they wouldn't carry on with their past disagreements. None of that mattered anymore!

Besides, Vicente really had nothing to do with the "mistakes" of his parents. To these two, this young man seemed to be a good boy who was telling them something relevant, even though he was under no obligation to do so.

"Thank you, son." Hana took her grandson's hand. "We didn't have anything that could show Kate's vitality, so if you hadn't come to us, we would never have learned of her tragedy."

"That was my duty," Vicente commented. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

"Thank you anyway." Axel squeezed his grandson's shoulder.

Then Hana looked at Nova and finally changed the subject. "What about this beautiful young woman? Is she your girlfriend?"

Nova blushed, and Vicente replied. "Yes. Nova is a Commandant in the army. We met in Millfall some time ago and soon began our relationship."

"That's good, boy," Axel said, seeing that Vicente had wasted no time in finding a catch like Nova.

Nova was not only beautiful but also had a great future ahead of her. Neither of them had realized that she was a Mage since she hid her magic. But her future prospects were excellent if she was already a Commandant at such a young age.

Vicente stood up and said. "We came to Dryhaven to inform you about what happened to my mother and also to visit her family. I'll meet my in-laws after I leave here."

"Oh? Good luck then." Axel tried to smile, even though he was still saddened by the story he had just heard.

Hana said. "If that's the case, I won't stand in your way." She stood up. "But how about coming to our house for dinner before you leave the city? It will be a good opportunity to learn more about my two granddaughters."

"Yes, come and have dinner with us." Axel agreed. "I'll introduce you to your uncle, boy. Your uncle is about the same age as you, so maybe you have something in common."

Vicente had no reason to disagree and soon accepted the invitation to have dinner with them on the eve of his and Nova's departure. "All right. We'll be leaving after our third night here. So let's set it for three days from now."

With that, he and Nova soon left the Hogan estate in that city, heading for the Bain family.

As the two made their way, Hana and Axel stayed behind to watch the two, with their subordinate approaching them.

"I hate to say this, but Vicente doesn't look like his parents or you." She said as she took a step back from them. "I honestly don't think he won a girl like that with his charm alone. He must be a Mage just like her."

Hana realized this when she failed to fathom her grandson's power. Every magician would try to analyze the strength of the people they dealt with. In a simple way, it served to know how respectful one had to be towards another. Still, it was also a method to monitor the progress of acquaintances, to give advice, etc.

"I know." She said. "Maybe Kate's choice wasn't as bad as we thought." She looked at her husband.

They wanted Kate to marry a local nobleman to increase their family's influence. Kate was lovely, perhaps the most beautiful of all the young women who had awakened their powers a little over 20 years ago in the city where they both lived at the time.

They soon moved to Dryhaven, where Kate's beauty caught the eye of the only local Count within days of her arrival. Not long after, Axel and Hana received a marriage proposal from Count Grant.

But just then, Kate met Andrew, who had come from the previous city where this family lived just to be close to his future wife.

When Kate learned of the arranged marriage her parents were preparing for her, she ran away with Andrew, leaving only a letter saying she would never see her parents again.

Now that they had met their grandson and thought about how strong he could be, they realized that perhaps they had made a mistake. They didn't need to give their daughter to a Count to improve their position.

If they had acted differently, perhaps Vicente would have been the one to take them to the top and make them grow as they wished.

"Sigh... Let's see how these three nights go. If we get the chance to get Isaac on his side, this will be our chance to correct our mistake." Axel said as Vicente and Nova disappeared in front of them.
