Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-268

After Vicente and Casey left, it didn't take long for Leo to regain consciousness, blinking his eyes several times as he seemed to accommodate his eyes to the ambient light.

In the process, he felt a slight headache, enough to irritate him.

'Why do I feel like this?' He asked himself as everyone looked at him strangely.

"Leo, are you all right?" Rose asked him.

"Yeah, yeah, I just suddenly got a headache."

"Really?" Lukas saw that Casey's ability didn't work without adverse effects on his victims. 'If that power was used to erase someone's entire memory...'

Gulp!

He shuddered to think what would happen to some poor sap who went through that situation!

Meanwhile, John asked Leo. "What do you think of everything that just happened?"

He wanted to know how effective Casey's powers were!

Leo wasn't surprised by the question and stated. "Unfortunately, Vicente Fuller still has a lot to grow to want exclusivity from people with our perspectives. He doesn't seem to have any bad options, but supporting one of us should be his limit.

I don't intend to talk to him about any of this again. If he wants, he can come to me, and we can do some business, but no more than that."

Everyone there looked away from Leo, seeing he couldn't remember anything that had happened and had a false memory of everything.

'What a terrible thing!' John bitterly smiled. 'A power like that can make us believe in things that don't exist! It's very disturbing!'

Fortunately for them, they were on the side of the one who had such an ability!

...

While the new members of the Mazzanti family understand how powerful Vicente Fuller really is, with his influence capable of dominating even someone like Casey, those two disguise themselves and return to the Mazzanti estate.

Once there, Vicente ran into Rory and told his deputy about the outcome of the meeting that had just taken place and made it clear to him who he could start working with to further the family's goals.

Vicente had already discussed this with Rory over the past few days, giving him the resources to pass on to these new family members and how to contact them while he was in The Rocky Gorge.

With that in mind, Rory promised to follow up on the group's plans in Vicente's absence before presenting him with the results of the investigation into Jasmine's name.

"I have good and bad news about that woman, Vice." He said as he sat down next to Casey in one of the chairs in Vicente's office.

"Tell me the good news first." Vicente was already tired of the bad news.

"She didn't lie to us," Rory enunciated as he looked back and forth between Vicente and Casey. "She has influence in the temple she comes from, and her future prospects are excellent. If there's anything we can find out from her, it's only a matter of time before we get it. As long as she grows up and is committed to giving us information, we could benefit greatly from a deal with her."

"And what's the bad news?" Casey asked instead of Vicente.

"The bad news is that she's the daughter of a Sovereign." Rory went straight to the critical point. "Her father isn't in the province. He lives in the capital of the kingdom. But if news of what we've done to her reaches him..."

"We will be dead." Casey finished Rory's speech and looked into Vicente's eyes.

"I see. That's awful news." Vicente mumbled, closing his eyes and remembering once again the day he had lost his mother when Sovereigns had fought too close to him.

"If that's the case, we have to make a deal with her and kill everyone who might have had contact with the information about what we did." Vicente quickly made up his mind.

They couldn't kill Jasmine. She was all they had to protect them from an angry Sovereign. But as for the others, there was nothing better than their deaths to protect the information about the beginning of their relationship with Jasmine.

Casey agreed, already expecting this would be his responsibility. "But how do we do that?"

"I'll have to rely on you." Vicente looked into Casey's eyes. "When the time comes, you'll have to help me find everyone who knows about the Jasmine incident. You'll have to read the memories of these people and, from there, find out who has the information. After that, my group will deal with them."

"It won't be easy. My ability doesn't work so well against those at my level or higher. I'd need those people to be unconscious for me to do what you're asking."

"We'll take care of that," Vicente assured, feeling the headache of solving so many problems.

Then he stood up and said. "Anyway, I'll see if I can get her to talk a little more. I'll keep pushing, but I'll make sure she has a signed agreement with us before I leave for The Rocky Gorge."

"You're leaving tomorrow?" Rory asked.

"The day after tomorrow, in the morning."

With that, Vicente left them behind and made his way back to Jasmine in the underground area of his property.

As Vicente made his way to the pink-haired woman, two of the new soldiers, who had come from Martell Village after some of the men who had recently advanced in rank had gone there in the previously planned exchange, entered the Don's office.

"Deputy, I have news about the director of the young lady's academy." One of them said to Rory, feeling proud to be able to serve the Mazzanti family, especially someone as talented as this young man, currently at level 2.

The other said. "The current director will resign. After we denounced him for his possible involvement in the kidnapping of the young lady and revealed to him his wife's affair with the young master of the Symons family, he made a deal with us to drop the case in exchange for his resignation."

"Is that so? That's good. How are the interviews going with the candidates for his position?" Rory asked.

"Well, I'd say. We don't know who will be the final choice of the teachers. But we have well-developed conversations with the teachers' preferred candidates. We're confident we'll have someone we trust in the academy." One of the two new soldiers commented.

"Perfect. Keep working hard. Having the merit to act for the good of the young lady is just as important as killing enemies of the family."

"Yes, Deputy! We'll do our best!" The two said in excited tones.

Thus, the family would turn their attention to what they could influence in the short term, and the next hours would pass quickly, reaching the time limit for Vicente to move on to The Rocky Gorge!
