Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

chapter-337
As she appeared at the entrance of the Mazzanti family with her sword in hand, Nova saw Viscount Symons with the 3rd-stage herb in his hands just before this man left next to Commander Hogan.
She lowered her weapon and stopped consuming her mana.
'It looks like it's all over...' She sighed as she watched the tempers calm down.
Meanwhile, two of the four people who had been standing next to her stopped behind her, realizing it was all over.
One was a soldier, and the other was a Symons family guard."It looks like it's all over... Well, time to collect the family's belongings." The soldier commented to the Symons family guard, looking at him with a clever smile.
"Hmm, in their situation, the rest of the city will soon be attacking them to take what they have. That is our chance to get something!" The other said as he turned sideways and looked around again.
Nova heard this and glared at the soldier who had suggested it. "Are you crazy? Our goal was only the 3rd-stage herb! We don't have permission to do what you suggested! Besides, have you forgotten who Cesar is?"
"Tsk! Captain, why be so strict? Cesar may be dead, and even if he isn't, after all we've done, what difference does it make if we take some of his things?" The soldier smiled before walking back into the building.
The Symons family guard just grinned at Nova before doing the same, leaving her to watch them angrily at the entrance to this place.
"Wretches!" She clenched her fists but didn't stop them. 'I hope you don't regret this in the future!'
With that, she left the place without looking back and went to the army headquarters to report to her organization.Nova felt terrible about everything that had happened that day. Still, she couldn't help but think that the situation at House Mazzanti was like those two men had thought. With no ammunition and their leading men exhausted, the family could be attacked at any moment by other local groups.
'I wonder what will happen from now on.' She asked herself, missing Vicente and wondering when she would see the only person who could really make her smile.
"Sigh... I hope to spend some time with Vicente. I'll be advancing to the 3rd stage soon. After that, I can be transferred to other army posts." She muttered to herself.
But from her point of view, that would never stop her from having a relationship with Vicente. As someone in love with him and willing to have a life with the young Fuller, living in different cities wouldn't stop her from having her relationship with him!
...
After the defeat of the Mazzanti family and the departure of the first groups that had participated in the battle for the weed, the profiteers reacted as expected.
Of the four men who had invaded the family with Nova, three had stayed behind to loot the Mazzanti estate. At the same time, the last had died from injuries sustained in Liam's earlier attack.
They had quickly searched the Mazzanti family and gathered what they could, failing to break into the family vault but managing to get their hands on some valuable items around the place or on the bodies of Vicente's soldiers.
They knew their enemies would use recovery potions if they had the chance, so they first stole their enemies' spatial rings to prevent that.
Thus, after only a few minutes, the two army soldiers and the only Symons family guard left behind left the estate with many items, including weapons, in their possession.
Left with no recovery potions and practically nothing, Rory was furious as he stood with the men who had survived this confrontation.
"Damn it!" He said in a low voice, standing next to his men and Bart, unable to do anything but accept the robbery of these men.
Meanwhile, Liam had already left at his master's side, promising to return as soon as Cesar did.
Only Benson had stayed behind with Vicente's men.
"Sigh... What a defeat. But young men, you should hide. If you stay here, you'll be attacked from all sides, and you'll probably never see your leader again." Benson commented in a despondent tone.
He had to take care of himself, so he couldn't help Vicente's people much.
But he gave them advice. "You have made a lot of enemies growing up here. And some of them are looking at you now and seeing an excellent opportunity to get revenge but also to get the Mazzanti family's wealth.
I don't know what has happened to your leader and his plans, but you should hide until he returns. Leave this estate and accept your defeat. If there's any chance of revenge, leave it for the future. Now is not the time to think about such things.
Anyway, good luck. I hope you can overcome this situation."
With that, Benson left without looking back, having already done more than he should have. Besides, he was worried about possible reprisals against him, so he had to take care of himself.
Rory stayed behind and thought about what the old man had just said and saw no problem with Liam and Benson leaving.
It was already part of Rory and Liam's plans to deliver the 3rd-stage herb to their enemies if it was necessary for them to survive the day. After that, they had planned for everyone to go their separate ways until at least Vicente returned.
In the short term, the family's enemies would try to target those who proved vulnerable. As someone who was supposed to protect the family's biggest investments in the crisis, Rory wouldn't allow Liam to stay by his side.
Confident that Vicente would return victorious, Rory had planned to ensure that as much of the family's strength as possible would be preserved after that day.
He and the other men of the family could be replaced. But the same couldn't be said for Casey, Liam, Lukas, and the other professionals in his group.
Then he ordered his men. "Let's go to the headquarters of the Scarlet Syndicate! There's nothing to justify staying here!"
"But what about the resources in the vault?" Someone asked.
"Leave them. If someone manages to steal them from us, we'll recover what's lost later. In any case, we must protect the most valuable thing we have right now. Our lives!" Rory said as he led the group away from the building.
Right now, what their enemies wanted most was the Mazzanti family's belongings. So they could flee from there to the headquarters of the Scarlet Syndicate.
They would have no trouble on their way as more and more people arrived at the Mazzanti estate.
...
Two hours would pass in the blink of an eye until someone flying on a sword appeared near the forest next to Millfall!
'Back at last!' Vice looked at his city with concern as he lowered his altitude to land nearby and made his way to his targets secretly.
It was time for him to kill Christopher Hogan!
