Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-155

While Vicente's building was surrounded by army men and their tired or wounded men in the area, Rory and the other men of the Fuller family were already aware of the problem.

Unable to return to their headquarters to help their men, Rory and ten of the family were currently gathered in a simple house on the north side of town.

The young red-haired number two of the family had a terrible look as he stood in front of the group he had managed to gather in the time he had after the warning from the post.

When the last of them had arrived, he got straight to the point. "We can't help our headquarters. Our men will have to protect it for themselves."

He and the rest of the people there didn't know what was happening in the rest of the city. All they knew was that the attacks must have reached this outpost by now, given the sounds that had reached even this area.

"Meanwhile, we have to go after Vicente. He must be on the run alone. If we don't go after him and enemies surround him, he'll be in trouble." Rory said in a nervous tone.

"How are we going to get to the boss? He's very good at moving and not leaving any tracks." One of the three level 1 Acolytes there said worriedly.

"I know Vicente. I know where he would go. We just have to go where he would go in a desperate situation like this." Rory said, sure that he would find his friend.

Vicente would definitely use a dangerous strategy, but one that would give him the best chance of survival. In an escape like the one he had initiated by secretly leaving his post earlier, he wouldn't try to hide in a place where enemies could surround him. With that in mind, Rory knew there was only one place he could go to find Vice and give him support.

"Let's go to The Rocky Gorge." He said as he finished packing his equipment but dressed inconspicuously, like a trader.

With that in mind, the group quickly moved to the wagon they had in this place, where they acted as merchants and subordinates of Vicente Fuller.

If someone saw them moving now, they wouldn't suspect they were members of the faction that had caused most of the trouble of Millfall lately. To anyone watching them, they were just another group of merchants.

So they left Millfall for The Rocky Gorge, an area about 28 kilometers from the eastern part of the city where there had been several reports of magical creatures appearing.

...

While Rory and his people were on their way, Shelby had just been made aware of what was happening in Millfall and with her ally earlier that evening.

"What?" The beautiful orange-haired woman asked Molly, frowning in disbelief at what she had just heard.

"The lady's friend seems to have run into trouble earlier this evening and decided to take a dangerous route. He reappeared with his group in the east of the city... Considering the movements of the local powers, I believe his group is already facing opponents." The red-haired woman in front of Shelby reported.

"Shit! How could this happen?" Shelby shouted, not liking at all what might happen.

She hated it when her plans didn't go her way. But this situation was much worse for her because Vicente's group was still too weak and in danger of being wiped out!

With that in mind, she couldn't stand idly by!

"Let's go to his house." She stood up and prepared to leave.

The red-haired woman dressed as a maid heard this and narrowed her eyes, not believing that her mistress would do such nonsense.

"You..."

"We're going to the house where Nina and the blonde woman live." Shelby clarified things for her confidante. "I'm just her teacher. Even if someone found out who he is, I won't get in trouble for it."

"But what difference does it make if we go? I still think it would be a risk for no gain." Molly said.

"You have a lot to learn, Molly. There are certainly men available to Nina and Eve. If we bring those two to my house, we can free up those men to help my friend." Shelby said as she walked through the halls of her family's mansion.

Vicente's group was weak. That's why he relied on his numbers more than anyone else.

From Shelby's point of view, anyone she could free to help Vice and his people would greatly help them.

'I hope that's enough, Vicente.' She thought in a cold sweat, already moving towards Vicente's house.

But she knew that one of her fiancé's men was watching her as she approached the spot near his house and wouldn't fail to notice her movement.

'Miss Staples?' The man watching the Fuller residence narrowed his eyes. 'Coming to that boy's house in the middle of the night?'

He sensed something was wrong. Engaged women didn't visit single men in the middle of the night!

'Damn it! What does she think she's doing? Is she trying to humiliate the Symons family?' The man's face turned red with anger at the thought.

His young master was in a lot of trouble right now, but what Shelby was doing was out of line!

Something had to be done!

...

While Shelby was meeting with Nina and Eve earlier that evening, Marcus was moving along with some of his men.

After hearing about Cesar's resurgence in Millfall and the beginning of the assassins' actions at the Mazzanti family building, he and his group headed to Vicente.

Marcus felt that things were getting out of hand in the area and that the only way to keep his family's plans from being disrupted was to kill the leader of the Mazzanti family.

Thus, upon learning of Cesar's escape shortly after his reappearance, Marcus was already at the side of his family's strongest Acolytes, following in the footsteps of one of the royal army groups.

As close friends of the soldiers from the local outpost, the Symons family were already practically side-by-side with that group, following Vice's trail.

"Thanks for the tip, guys. If possible, we'll help your group take care of Cesar. The bastard is very talented despite his low level." Marcus said as he looked at the beautiful Nova, who was in the group led by a blond man.

The blond man heard this and smiled. "This will be great! Cesar's death will bring peace to Millfall!"
