Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-459

A full day had passed since Nova and Vicente parted ways.

Nova returned to the soldiers overseeing her group's ordeal in the Wolfrior Forest and found out what had happened at Long Bay Correctional Facility.

Still, she kept what she knew to herself, wondering what Vicente's true motives were to justify that invasion and escape.

Millfall was already under his control. What would change with the escape of a few high-level criminals?

She wouldn't get the answers to her questions yet. But soon, she and her group would leave for Saltstar City, for soon after she finished her test, the other two would finish as well.

Even after everything Eric had done and the hours she had spent with Vicente, Nova was the first to finish her exam!

She still didn't know if she had an advantage in the exam since she didn't know what kind of challenges the other two competitors had gone through.

So, the group just waited for Eric to leave. Out of self-preservation, Nova did not want to tell her group what had happened to the soldier. In any case, sooner or later, the superiors would understand what had happened, and they could continue with their test in the province's largest city.

While Nova waited for her superiors to decide to get back on the road, Vicente had already traveled a long way from the Wolfrior Forest.

He hadn't encountered any problems in the first few hours of his flight, so he had successfully left the Wolfrior Forest area and quickly made his way to Millfall.

Other army fugitives had experienced similar things in the past few hours, getting further and further away from their pursuers.

With each passing hour, it became more difficult for the army to reach their targets or even get on their trail. As a result, the escapees from Long Bay Correctional Facility had a better and better chance of retaining their hard-won freedom.

...

Meanwhile, at a point further northwest in Scott Province...

A man wearing a black cloak that covered his head and hid most of his body walked calmly through a forest, a piece of fruit in one hand.

Under the hood of the cloak, a relatively young face was hidden, with a single lock of hair showing something completely purple, like the man's eyes.

That was obviously Snow Claw, the reason for the whole incident at Long Bay Correctional Facility!

After his battle with the two Sovereigns, Snow Claw had left them mortally wounded before continuing his escape route.

He had been injured fighting those two, but his situation was not worrisome.

'Those two bastards... I hope they're dead. They caused me a lot of trouble.' He felt pain in many parts of his body.

He watched a group in the distance and saw some interesting targets for him.

He wasn't a criminal who robbed travelers or acted against people who had nothing to do with him. But he didn't care about those things in a time of need.

Anyone who crossed his path was a potential enemy or target!

'Let's see if you can help me get back on my feet faster!' He didn't care if they were important people or not, and he went on to find what he needed.

Similar situations would occur with the other escapees from the maximum security wing of Long Bay Correctional Facility.

These men were dangerous criminals on the run. They would do anything to achieve their goals, even if, in other situations, they wouldn't be willing to do the things they were willing to do now!

...

Amid the escapees' travels from Long Bay Correctional Facility, news of the escape of criminals from the provincial prison had already reached the major local families and factions.

In particular, the powers in Saltstar City had already begun to move with the disturbing news coming from the south of the central-western part of the province.

That was the case of the largest local underworld faction, The Ruby Devils!

The leaders of The Ruby Devils were now meeting to discuss the escape of their greatest enemy, Snow Claw.

Snow Claw was a provincial-level monster that even the largest local faction couldn't defeat on their own. The leaders of this faction had to conspire with high-ranking soldiers in the kingdom to arrange Jonah's downfall.

Now that he had escaped, the four High-level Mages leading this faction of Saltstar City couldn't help but worry!

"What are we going to do? Jonah will come straight to us. He'll surely try to kill us." The only woman in this group of four said, while the dark surroundings of that office gave the place a gloomy air.

The oldest of the group clenched his fists while keeping his eyes closed. "Jonah will show no mercy. If he comes to the city, we'll be in trouble. We might not stand a chance even if we all fight him."

"So what do we do?" The youngest High-level Mage in the group asked. "When we agreed to fight him decades ago, we knew that it wasn't impossible that we would have problems with him now. But I remember we were confident we could neutralize him again if necessary."

Then, the brother of the only woman in the group, the leader of this faction, aka Warmaster, said in a confident tone. "You should calm down. Jonah is a problem of great proportions. It won't be easy to deal with him. But we have the means to act.

He escaped from a royal prison and killed two army Colonels. Not only that, there are many people involved in the deaths of his loved ones. They will surely move as the news spreads.

And after all that, we have contact with Nixlas' Shadows. At worst, we can pay Miss Death's price to solve the problem for us."

"Is that woman capable of that? Jonah is not easy. He might decide to hide until he becomes a Sovereign..."

The conversations continued in this faction of Saltstar City, with even the notorious Warmaster worried about the current situation. Even with his greater confidence and calmness, he was disturbed by the situation created by Vicente and Shelby.

But they were not the only ones disturbed by the latest news!

In a palace in the center of Saltstar City, the Duke of the Province had just received disturbing information about the escape of dangerous inmates from Long Bay Correctional Facility!
