Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

The day after Vicente arrived in Grandis, he began organizing what would be needed to prepare for Nina's stay.

She was still training to control her newly awakened powers when Vicente went after the teachers behind the Seidel Magic College.

Vicente was very direct with the professors of that institution, offering them resources in exchange for helping the family protect and observe Nina.

Vicente's point in these conversations wasn't to get undue favors for Nina but to get a prior understanding from these teachers about who she was and some of the family's needs.

Once that was settled, Vicente went to the royal palace to see King Seidel again.

...

"I heard that your sister was successful in awakening her powers. How is she?" the king asked Vicente with a smile.

He was pleased about Nina's success. If she had failed, Vicente would definitely not have stayed in his city in the future. But with her at Seidel Magic College, this great talent would definitely take special care of Grandis.

"She is happy. Newton is helping her master her own powers right now." Vicente commented with a smile, happy for Nina. "Anyway, with her success, let's continue our old plans."

"Hmm, she'll stay here until she finishes college, or Grandis can't protect her anymore, right? Don't worry; I'll do my best to make her stay in my city long and safe," the king commented, imagining that Vicente was worried about such a thing.

"I thank Your Majesty."

"When do you plan to leave, Vicente?" He asked, anxious for the black-haired young man to return from the hunt as soon as possible.

"In a few days. I'll take care of my family's situation in the city and leave. Has Lina spoken with Your Majesty?" Vicente asked.

"Hmm, she told me that she wants to join your group. Anyway, she's an adult, so there's nothing I can do to stop her. But, Vicente, protect my daughter. I know things can get out of hand in the middle of a hunt, but do everything you can to protect her. If you find it too dangerous for her, send her back. I'll wait for your news," the man said in a worried tone.

"I will try everything in my power to protect all my companions. But even I can't guarantee anything... Who am I compared to the Paragons and Archmages on the continent?"

"Sigh..." The king soughed at the thought, imagining the chaos that would ensue in the center and north of the continent. "Just be careful on your journey. My group will deliver all the remaining maps and information we have to give you by next night."

"I thank Your Majesty."

...

The next evening, Vicente's group received the last maps and information they needed from the Seidel family.

Vicente and his men immediately began making their travel plans after receiving these materials. They mainly followed Torne's advice on where to go on this trip before going to Vicente's places of interest.

They wanted Casey, Sarah, Rory, Lina, Onyx, and Layla to get stronger on this trip before they took their chances with the creatures that might have pentagrams compatible with Vicente.

Torne had indicated three areas in the center-north of the continent for the group to pass through before going to the place he thought would have the best chance of Vicente finding a cyan pentagram.

Vicente and his group planned where they would go to get to these places in the best way to combine safety and speed.

That was not something that could be solved in one conversation, so the group would take a few days to make their plans.

During the days they spent in the capital doing this, they also had to purchase all the resources they would need for this trip. Even though there were many cities in the middle of their journey, the continent was at the beginning of its crisis when they left. They could not know the situation in the places they would pass through, so it was good for them to take precautions and essentials with them.

So, the days would fly by during Vicente's stay in Grandis. His group would accomplish their main goals there, while he would also fulfill his plans for this place by negotiating with powerful local men.

He would get everything ready for the start of Nina's college classes and Eve's work at Grandis.

...

A few days after the group arrived in the kingdom's capital, Nina was already fully accustomed to her powers. She also had learned how to move around in Grandis.

Her classes at the Seidel Magical College would start in 3 days, 2 days before Vicente's departure.

So, instead of exploring the city, Nina was currently accompanying her brother to spend as much time with him as possible before his departure.

Meanwhile, the whole family had been in the city for six days without doing anything new. Even though they had arrived only a few days before, they were already adjusted to the local situation.

But that was to be expected. Rory had been building the family foundation in this province for months before they arrived. At the same time, the Fuller family was now officially the second strongest in the entire kingdom.

His men didn't have to conquer anything when they came to this city. They simply settled in and began to carry out their plans.

With no one to get in their way or make things difficult, virtually everyone who would stay there began their routines with ease.

As the family members got used to each other and understood how things would be from this day on, Vicente's preparations came to an end, with him finalizing the armor and weapons he would leave in the city or take with his group.

In five days, he would leave the Seidel Kingdom once again, this time with ambitious plans, one of which was to rescue Lauren and return with her the next time he entered the state!

...

"Nina, never use your power in public. If you must use it, make sure you kill all the witnesses." Vicente advised his sister in the training room of the Fuller family's new residence.

"Also, if I don't come back and the worst happens, you should look for a soldier named Liam in Chilldale." He added as he helped his sister with her training.

"Chilldale?" Nina frowned as she started sweating heavily. "Who is this Liam? What's in Chilldale?"

"Don't worry about that right now. Just look for this person in case everything goes wrong. That includes me not returning from my hunt, the family falling, and our allies not being able to help you. In this situation, you should worry about going to this place and finding this man." Vicente said in a low tone.

Then he sighed when he heard her silence and smiled positively. "Let's hope that everything works out for us. Concentrate on getting stronger. Eve and Nova will help you get your future pentagrams. Obey them both in my absence. They'll help you whenever you need it."

With that, he finished his training with Nina before receiving a tight hug from the young woman who couldn't hold back her own tears.
