Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

The next day...",

Early in the morning, a train from Millfall arrived in the city and Casey got off in Metal City.

Minutes later, he was at the Fuller family mansion, where Vicente, Nova, Nina, Lauren, and Eve were having breakfast.

Upon entering the family dining room, Casey took a seat and promptly inquired of Vicente. "How are things in the capital?"

"Well, I'd say. I've left that area even better prepared to protect itself than scities in the central part of the continent... I've repaired the province's railroads, so the king's party should be on their way to rescue people and regain access to ore and food resources." Vicente replied as he spread jam on toast.

"I believe by the tI finish my plans for Scott Province, Diamond Province will be in order. Most of that area will still be under monster control, but the human areas will be safe and the province's resources will flow again." He finished his speech after chewing his toast.

"Are you thinking of taking back the entire kingdom, brother?" Nina asked curiously.

"No. I want Diamond Province to be able to provide resources for Snow Province and Scott Province. I want to rebuild and strengthen these areas as much as possible.

The area of Diamond Province has a large border, no natural areas that would act as a barrier on their own, and is close to stronger areas that currently have more powerful monsters.

This is not the case for Snow Province, which has mountain ranges and a small border strip. Besides, it can fully protect Scott Province."

"So that's it... It's a shame. The mana density of this area isn't as good as the capital." Nina lamented, as the other women agreed.

"Don't think about it too much. In the next few days, I'll improve Metal City's metal infrastructure and make schanges to the rock configuration of the area. This will increase the mana density in the city a bit more.

It won't make any difference to Lauren and me, but for Mages, it will be about the sas it was in Grandis. And even Sovereigns will feel sdifference." He promised.

"Are you going to build more metal cities along the border?" Casey asked, imagining Vicente would repeat what he had done in the central region in this area of the kingdom, but on a larger scale, to ensure the region's future.

"Yes. While I was in the capital, I studied the maps of the border between Snow Province and Diamond Province. I believe if I build 6 metal cities in that area and 1,300 kilometers of fences, I'll have the total area from there to here under our control.

"That would require many people to keep watch." Eve commented, aware this was a large area to control.

"We will have men for that. I intend to spend the next five years on this project. Besides, there are Light Path magical beasts we can ally with in this area. I'll assure them that no one will hunt them down in exchange for their help in maintaining the area."

The strongest magical creatures in the area where they were, were less than 1% of the number of magical creatures in the area. The magicians who might be interested in hunting them were less than 0.1% of the magicians in the area, and most of them were currently Vicente's subordinates.

In other words, such an agreement would hardly harm the magicians of the two provinces, and could work out very well for both sides in such an agreement.

Although the beasts of the Light Path were not the primary targets of the monsters, even these beasts suffered from losing their territories, being attacked when the beasts of the Dark Path in the vicinity starved, and so on.

The number of powerful beasts in these two provinces was practically equal to the number of humans above the 3rd stage of cultivation, enough to greatly increase the number of surveillance and protection forces in the area.

"But for now, let's worry about the safety of the residents surrounded by monsters in the provincial cities. Until I have rescued all the people in the area and secured the defenses of each of the cities, I will not reclaim the lost territory." Vicente finished eating while talking about this.

The others finished as well, until Lauren and Nina looked at Casey, ready to let the man use his ability on them to carry out Vicente's plans.

Vincent, Nova and Eve were silent as they escorted the three into the living room of the mansion and watched as the two sat in the lotus position and Casey activated his powers.

Displaying her four pentagrams and opening her third eye in the center of her forehead, Casey touched Nina and Lauren's heads at the stime.

Simply transferring memories was much easier than he had tried with Lauren over a year ago. He easily copied Nina's memories of her sister, as well as sthings that had happened to her after Lauren's kidnapping and Andrew's death.

Vicente had already asked him to do this to touch Lauren's icy heart, so he promptly did what he had to do, not even taking a minute to do it.

Nina was weaker than Vicente and had experienced less than the young Fuller, so copying her memories was easy.

Soon after, Casey worked on those memories before transferring them to Lauren's mind 10 minutes later.

At the end of the 15th minute, Casey's aura weakened noticeably as he finished what he had done.

Nina opened her eyes and looked away, seeing her sister contorting her face, still with her eyes closed, in a meditation position.

"It will take her a few hours to finish processing her memories, Nina," Casey said with a sigh. "But don't worry, she's fine. Whatever she gains from these memories won't harm her. But it's possible she'll have snightmares, so she may express pain or anger until then."

Nova and Eve watched in anticipation as Nina watched her sister and Lauren seem to feel pain amid a nightmare. The two women felt sorry for the two girls, but they also felt sorry for Vicente.

After all he had done, he deserved a full reunion with his family, not just what he had gotten!

Not being able to help scared them, but all they could do was hope for the best and be there for the three of them.
