Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-35

Three days later...

It was getting dark in Martell Village, and Vice had just returned home from a long and tiring day at Nina's side.

As he closed the door and headed towards the kitchen, intending to prepare something for Nina, Vicente was suddenly stopped when someone knocked hard on his door.

"Boss, we have a problem." One of the young men brought by Rory to Vicente's group shouted from the other side of the door, drawing this boy's attention.

He immediately ran to the door of his house under his sister's gaze and asked as he came across that young man. "What's up?"

"Jesse, your father's former employee, is moving strangely. Three of our suppliers have been visited by him in the last two days." That young man with blond hair and blue eyes, 1.8 meters tall, said this as he looked into Vice's eyes.

Hearing this, Vicente immediately frowned, 'So he found out! I knew it would happen someday! Good thing I didn't trust him before!'

While clenching his fists, Vicente said. "All right, call Rory and let him know about it. He'll know what to do. In the meantime, I'll start sorting it out."

"Yes!" That young man dressed as a farmer left that place without delay while Vicente ran into his house to get some things.

'We're going to visit someone. But I want you to stay close to me.' Vicente wrote to his sister after getting what he wanted.

"Where will we go?" She asked him.

But Vincent did not inform her about it.

'It's better you don't know.' He thought to himself as he set off at his sister's side.

He quickly made his way to Jesse's house, a much more humble property than his own, one that was at one end of the village.

Upon arriving there with Nina in his arms, Vicente indicated her to be silent while they were hidden in the surroundings.

'Since you have decided to act this way, Jesse, don't blame me for what I will do.' He thought as he waited for the right moment to act.

Vicente had not acted violently against any of his father's old workers for two reasons. The first was that even if he wanted to, he couldn't act since he lacked the support to do so.

All those men had their Magic Gems, so he could only achieve what was necessary to 'silence' them by hiring mercenaries.

However, mercenaries in Polaris Realm were not necessarily unscrupulous men who would do anything for coins!

Most were just people trying to sell their services and pay their families' daily expenses. Most of them were not assassins and did not accept assassination missions.

Those who accepted such missions were usually professional assassins, a type of person who, as far as Vicente knew, did not offer services in Martell Village.

As such, even if he had coins to waste on assassinations, he couldn't hire people capable of handling his father's former employees.

The second reason Vicente hadn't tried to act violently against them was that most of them had accepted their situations without a problem. And some of them were still working for him, so Vice preferred to avoid acting against those he had fired.

However, he had his ways if he wanted to!

Vicente looked at the surroundings of that property and saw that Jesse didn't seem to be around.

He then finished covering his body with black clothes and cautiously approached one of that property's open windows.

Nina was in his arms and did not understand what her brother was doing. But she found it amusing and continued to watch him silently.

Vicente placed a strange instrument on the wall of that house and then connected his ears with what looked like two matching metals.

'Good. He is not at home. Just his wife and their son.' Vicente heard the noises coming from that place and walked away after a few moments.

Then 5 minutes passed, and Rory arrived at that place accompanied by two of their strongest trusted young men.

"Vice, what are we going to do? Jesse trying to steal your business is bad for us."

Vicente nodded and said. "If he is targeting my business, I will target his most valuable things.

Rory, take care of my sister. I will break into the house and kidnap Jesse's son."

Gulp!

"You..."

"... Kidnap the boy?"

Rory and the two young men beside him asked in low voices, not believing Vicente would do such a thing.

"Don't look at me like that. I won't hurt him. I will only use him to lure his father away."

Low-level magicians were not so different from normal humans. They were stronger, their senses were faster, and they could use magic powers. However, it was possible for ordinary people to act against one of them.

The difference between ordinary people and magicians grew along the magic rank, but just as an exponential function grew slower at the beginning, so was it for magic.

Vicente was fully aware of this, and even though he didn't even have a Magic Gem, he wasn't afraid of Jesse or this man's wife.

"But..."

Vicente looked at Rory and said in a deep tone, looking into his friend's eyes, "Make no mistake, Rory, this is the kind of thing I would do for the sake of my family.

But I am willing to do much more. You should know that."

"I know... I'm sorry, I won't talk about it anymore. But can you do this?" Rory knew that some of Vicente's plans would have far worse consequences than kidnapping a child, and he quickly controlled his anxiety about already starting to act against an innocent.

"Don't worry about it. I know what I'm about to do." Vicente said in a low voice before running to that place.

Upon reaching the side of the previous window, he quickly moved into that house, moving like a thief going toward his target.

Already inside the house he had been in when Jesse's son was born, he immediately moved to the boy's room, which was on the house's second floor.

Vicente noticed that Jesse's wife was there, but she didn't notice him.

When he entered Jesse's son's room, she passed in front of the place and looked in through the open door.

Seeing no one and hearing her son walking up the stairs, she walked down toward the kitchen.

"Peter, go take your bath. The food will be ready in no time, and your father should be here soon." Jesse's wife's voice sounded as Vicente looked through the gaps in that boy's bedroom door.

"All right, Mom!" Peter quickly made his way to his room to get his clothes.

As he walked through the door and turned on the magic lamp, he suddenly ran into someone who shouldn't be there.

'Go to sleep...' Vice grabbed that boy's neck and squeezed, blocking the passage of blood to Peter's brain.

In just 10 seconds, Peter lost consciousness, and his body softened.

Sensing this, Vicente held him and put this 6-year-old boy inside the closet.

He then carefully moved out of the room, checking to see where Peter's mother was.

Noticing that she was busy in the kitchen, he quickly moved to the only bathroom on that floor and opened the shower.

'Time to go!" He hurried back to Peter's room.

A noise of a door closing came from the second floor, and Vicente could hear the voice of a traitor.

"Honey, I'm home!"

But he didn't stay behind and quickly hid a letter in Peter's room before leaving from there as easily as he had entered.
