Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

chapter-118
While the Defiant Tyranny leader's group celebrated in their headquarters, smoking, drinking, and playing with women, two of their outposts were being attacked!
In the territory of this local criminal faction, two of the farthest outposts were suffering from Vicente's plans.
...
At the second strongest of the four Defiant Tyranny outposts, a dozen of Vicente's men were standing in front of what looked like an abandoned building.
Several flames could be seen around the perimeter, while fallen walls and bloodied bodies, some mutilated, lay nearby.Shrieks of pain and the smell of burning flesh reached the people nearby while several auras rose inside the post.
From one hour to the next, several bombs exploded inside and outside the post before several gunshots rang out from all sides of the building.
One minute, the place was quiet, and everything seemed normal. The next minute, everything changed, and everyone in that place was shocked and suffering from internal and external attacks!
Meanwhile, Vicente's men were preparing to retreat!
"How much longer do we have to stay here, boss?" One of the men shooting at the Acolytes in that place asked, feeling nervous.
The danger of attacking this place was not small. But for Vicente to succeed, they had to stay there for at least a few moments!
"One minute. We need to attack this place for one minute. After that, we will retreat!" The Acolyte in charge of the group said, also quite tense but aware that they had to hold out for this short, but to them, seemingly infinite period.Luckily, two nights ago, Vicente had managed to sneak into two enemy posts and place detonators inside them!
At that moment, while those men were shooting to make life difficult for some of the battalion's members, some of their strongest enemies were focused on finding the enemy inside, worried that someone would take their resources!
...
At the second post being attacked by Vicente's group...
While Rory commanded his men next to a level 1 Acolyte to continue the attack on this outpost, inside the building under attack, a level 3 Acolyte was frantically making his way to the vault of his outpost.
Most of his party's resources were not there. But there were the supplies, coins, equipment, and even resources that were distributed monthly within this outpost.
Knowing how important these resources were to his battalion, the man whom the leader of Defiant Tyranny had assigned to protect this place after the loss of the 4th Battalion desperately made his way to the vault.
As he broke into a cold sweat and tried to ignore the gunfire outside this place, this man held a communication device and shouted for help.
"Damn it! We are under attack! Send help immediately! Someone has attacked our post, and several of our men are dead or wounded!" He yelled, calling for help from the other battalions and even his group's headquarters.
"What? But how is that possible? The 2nd Battalion is under attack right now!" A voice came from the other end of the line, shocking the man.
"Shit! They are acting together to split our forces!" He immediately 'understood' the problem and mentally cursed those behind the attack.
...
But while the men of the Defiant Tyranny thought that Vicente's goal was to divide their numbers into two posts, this young man had already infiltrated the most protected post after the group's headquarters!
Vicente wanted to infiltrate this place from the beginning, and the other two posts under attack now were mere distractions from the real target of his group.
Defiant Tyranny's headquarters would never be unprotected for him to act against. Still, the situation of this post was a bit different. Even though it was the best protected of the four, with two locations under attack, several of the men from this location were already moving towards those two locations.
Vicente had already entered this place before his men started to act. When he noticed the nervousness of the men in this place, with groups leaving, he saw his moment to act!
Vicente quickly made his way through the 4-story building to the vault, located in the middle of the building, between the 2nd and 3rd floors.
Using the movement skills he had developed since learning to manipulate mana, he managed to go unnoticed by the few men who remained to protect the location.
In less than a minute after he started moving, he was already less than 50 meters from the vault!
But even so close to his goal, Vicente could not complete his mission there without first taking out one of the men of this site!
Arriving at a critical point of this invasion, he noticed a man standing in front of the entrance to the vault, a place from which Vicente could not deviate to reach the vault door.
Realizing the problem, Vice did not hesitate long, knowing that his people would only keep their attacks between 1 and 2 minutes. After that, considering the distances between this organization's outposts and its members' power, he should have less than 1.5 minutes to complete his robbery and escape.
Vicente took his gun, which he had produced before coming here, and pointed it at that person's head.
Bang!
As he used all his strength to fire the bullet, Vicente did his best to create a silencer in front of his revolver, but with or without a big firing sound, he would cause a disturbance.
The moment his bullet passed through the silencer, its structure, and the gun exploded in Vicente's hands.
Boom!
Luckily for him, the bullet withstood the chaotic force on itself and mercilessly hit the forehead of the level 3 Acolyte!
When the man with a Yellow Magic Gem like Vice's sensed an enemy moving against him, it was too late. With no time to dodge or defend himself, he relied on his body characteristics to withstand this attack.
"Aagh!"
He was about to scream when he felt his skin being sliced and his skull cracking at the height of Vicente's shot. But suddenly, a blade sliced the air, entered his mouth, and cut through his throat!
Vicente knew he couldn't get his timing wrong against this enemy and used everything he had to bring him down.
The man couldn't scream for more than a second as he felt something pierce his throat and several metal objects pinning his wrists and heels.
'Shit, who is that?' He wondered, but as Vicente acted, a metal plate covered the man's eyes before a bluish beam electrocuted him.
Vicente did not know if his opponent had died or just fainted. He simply walked down the corridor before him after seeing that falling body, quickly arriving in front of a large vault, very different from the one belonging to the Peters family he had broken into days before.
Knowing his time was passing, Vicente used his burglary skills to move the mechanisms of that door.
Even though it was a magical item, it only took him 24 seconds to solve the combination to unlock the door, and then he turned the handle.
Once inside the vault, Vicente quickly found many bags of coins, some magic cultivation resources on shelves, papers, and books, but also artifacts such as weapons and armor.
He took what he thought was most relevant to the enemy group, what would cause the most damage to the Defiant Tyranny, and put it all into large bags.
Of the items which would stay in there, Vice left nothing whole!
Apart from what he took for himself, he destroyed everything he was not interested in with his skills or spells, tearing up the contracts of this place.
But he had chosen some of those books to take with him, as they were things that might contain important information for him and his group.
When he was done, with only 30 seconds left to leave this place, Vicente didn't hesitate to make his way back.
On his way out of the area, he noticed that level 3 man's body and thought he could survive the last few attacks if nothing else was done.
Controlling the metals around his body, Vicente kidnapped such a person and made him float beside him as he made his way to the place he had used to enter this post.
Vicente could already hear the sounds of the people from this post going to the vault he had just broken into so he wouldn't leave a living witness behind!
This man was the only one who could testify against him and cause legal problems for Vicente. Besides him, the Defiant Tyranny would only have suspicions, not enough to move the Martial Court!
With that in mind, he left the place and quickly fled back to his headquarters, finding no trouble on his way, given the instability of that post in the face of the simultaneous attack.
While Vicente was moving, his men were doing the same in that part of the city, using the escape routes they had developed to flee safely.
