Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

After Vicente warned his family of his decision to go ahead with the family's external plans, he stayed in Metal City for one more day and then left for his next journey the next morning.",

With only Torne at his side, Vicente left his group alone for the first tsince his return, but was very confident in the strength of his family.

With more than 120 pieces of 5th stage armor, 400 pieces of 4th stage armor, and over 1,500 4th grade firearms, he was confident he could travel outside the kingdom for a few months without worrying about his family.

If anything happened, that could affect even all the strength he had left, his presence or absence would hardly be felt.

Therefore, he would travel around the kingdom for the next few days, returning to the capital before actually leaving the territory of the Seidel Kingdom.

...

At Vicente's current level, seven days was more than enough for him to travel between Metal City and Grandis.

Arriving in the kingdom's capital this afternoon, Vicente saw a more organized city, with calmer and more confident forces in place, and citizens who seemed to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel of this crisis.

He greeted several people on his way through the city until he reached the central square, where he soon ran into Jasmine and Layla.

After months since Vicente's revelations, and then the news that forces from all over the south and center of the continent were abandoning the Congregation of Revelations, Jasmine had finally been convinced of the truth.

She had spent months investigating Layla's documents and her state's own temple, exchanging letters with members of other temple offices.

In the end, she discovered the truths laid out by Vicente and Layla were true, and she could no longer hold on to her previous beliefs.

Even though she was a devout member of the religion who had been raised under the teachings of the temple, she could still abandon her beliefs and change sides.

Disappointed with everything she discovered, and already an ally of Vicente, Jasmine did indeed switch sides, abandoning everything about the Congregation of Revelations.

She now acted as a de facto member of the Cataclysm Order, not because she believed in their cause, but because she understood the need for a safe haven for the continent's magicians.

Spotting Vicente after months of not seeing him, Jasmine sighed as she stopped walking and waited for him.

"Vicente."

"Jasmine, Layla." He stopped in front of them and greeted them. "How are you?"

"Fine, I'd say. We're in the city collecting Magic Gems. We'll be back at the altar later this afternoon." Layla told him.

Then Jasmine changed the subject. "Vicente, I'm sorry for everything that happened earlier. I didn't know about the atrocities committed by my former superiors at the temple. I really believed the story they told the continent."

He looked into her clear eyes and smiled softly. "Do not worry. The Congregation of Revelation fooled everyone. But it's all over now. The temple no longer exists, so let's focus on what we can still change, the future."

"Hmm, I hope I can use my life to repair the destruction they caused." Jasmine agreed, though the feeling of guilt in her heart hadn't diminished at all just by leaving tand knowing it was over.

For many former followers who remained loyal to the temple, as she and Layla had, even if they had committed no crimes themselves, they felt guilty for worshipping a power so evil to the well-being of their own civilization.

This was a matter for these women and other former members of the temple to deal with on their own, so Vicente said nothing to Jasmine about it.

"The continent needs everyone who can give their strength. I will go to the Kenyth Empire to fight the vampires in that state."

"Are the Scott and Snow Provinces finally safe?" Layla asked.

She knew exactly what Vicente's plans for the kingdom were, so if he was leaving the state, it could only mean that the most important phase of his plans had been completed.

"Yes, the thas cforto go back to fighting high-level monsters and superior vampires." He confirmed the thoughts of Layla and Jasmine.

"Then we won't stand in your way. You're just passing through Grandis, right?" Jasmine asked.

"Hmm, I've cto look around the city and talk to the local leaders in person. I'll leave tomorrow morning." He nodded positively.

"Then we wish you a safe journey. I hope you'll stop by Metal City 4 before you return to Scott Province." Layla said as she waved goodbye.

"Yes, see you later. By the way, if you want to go to Metal City with me, I think it will be around the tof Annie's birth." He smiled at the thought of his first daughter.

The two girls smiled when they heard this and promised that they would definitely go with him to meet little Annie.

After their brief conversation, he went to the royal palace, where he would soon meet Lina and King Seidel.

These two important Sky Sovereigns from the capital would inform Vicente about the situation in the province, which was exactly what he had planned. All the railroads were working, and although much of the territory was still under monster rule, the cities, agricultural areas, and mines were back under government control.

After his marriage to Nova, he promised Lina that she would be the next to join him, with his wedding to her already planned for after Annie's birth.

For the tbeing, Lina wanted to stay in the capital to help her family, so she didn't live with him and Nova yet. But her plans would change very soon!

As for Layla, she already considered herself Vicente's wife and didn't want any ceremony. For the tbeing, she wanted to continue helping to expand the order and would only switch to his side once her current plans were realized.

Anyway, the next morning Vicente left Grandis and headed north to the area where he would cross the border into the Kenyth Empire in less than 48 hours!
