Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-506

When Vicente arrived at the main compound of The Ruby Devils, the men in his way made way for him to pass.

The leader of this faction, an elderly-looking man, had ordered his people to make way for Vicente, curious to meet this prodigy of the forge.

He worked with the old man who had just died at Vicente's hands. But he had no idea what had happened, or he would never have allowed the young blacksmith on his property.

Soon, Vicente was in the same hall where Benson had entered a few minutes earlier complaining, who was now in an extremely delicate situation.

"Vicente!" Benson shouted at the sight of his student, ashamed to have caused trouble for Vice once again.

He was there to seek an explanation for Ronan's death; it was his duty as the fool's master. But he didn't want to put Vicente in danger because of his responsibility to others.

"Master," Vicente said when he saw Benson's terrible situation. He looked at the elder sitting in the leader's chair and asked. "What are you doing? Are you going to start a rebellion in Saltstar City? If the royal forces find out you're getting out of hand, not even your allies will protect you."

Groups like The Ruby Devils had a certain amount of freedom to operate because some of the king's regulators and the nobles took it easy on them. They were allowed to kill people from other groups like theirs or even from their own factions. But acting against ordinary citizens was something that crossed the line.

The nobles and royalty had to keep up appearances. They couldn't allow a group that was killing ordinary citizens to run wild in the kingdom!

But the leader of this group wasn't worried about that right now.

He said as he looked at Vice and smiled. "Vicente Fuller, the blacksmith who made our artifacts that Ronan delivered. I've been looking forward to meeting you."

Vicente frowned, seeing that Ronan had betrayed him and his master before he died. 'Damned Ronan! You should burn in hell!'

Vice said. "Let my master go, and we'll talk."

"Oh? You think you're in charge here, boy?" A Mid-level Mage raised his voice.

No one there knew Vicente's exact level since he was hiding it.

Vicente shifted his focus and looked at the tall, strong man who had just spoken.

'I could kill all of you here, but that would cause a fuss in Saltstar City that could disrupt my plans.' Vicente thought.

In Millfall, he acted wildly and killed many people. If he did in this city what he had done in that other place, he would end up in the same situation of having to flee.

He wanted to avoid the same thing happening again, so he decided to use a more peaceful alternative. 'If you don't cross the border, I'll let you live for now.' Vicente thought to himself.

He looked back at the group leader and asked. "What do you want to let my master leave this place safely?"

The old man smiled. "Straight to the point. I like that." Then he looked at Benson and said. "Your other student wasn't like that, old blacksmith. He was unscrupulous, tried to cheat people he shouldn't have for profit, and even betrayed his own master. I killed him for all that.

Trying to cheat The Ruby Devils was the last straw for him!

But I have no interest in your head, old blacksmith. What I am interested in is this young genius of the forge."

"Damn you! Leave Vicente alone!"

Then, the leader of the group made his suggestion. "Vicente Fuller, do you want your master to be free and healthy? Then make a deal with me. Everything will be fine as long as you work for me from now on."

Vicente clenched his fists, wanting to kill all the people in this place. But if The Ruby Devils disappeared so suddenly, it would provoke great suspicion in this city, and he would be in danger of being discovered again and having to flee.

"What exactly do you want me to do? I have no interest in becoming your full-time blacksmith. I still want to be free to work where I want and go about my business."

The faction leader said. "As long as these deals don't involve products forged by you, I don't mind. All you have to do for me is produce what I ask you to with the materials I'll send you. You should also give me your exclusivity when it comes to forging."

Vicente narrowed his eyes. "Will I be able to produce items for my family's personal use?"

The group leader knew what the Fuller family was like at the moment, which, of course, was what Vicente allowed others to know.

"Aside from 3rd-grade items, you can continue to produce items of all kinds for your family. Do we have a deal?" He asked as he rose from his chair.

'I'll use your services as long as that old monster doesn't act against you. You're going to die soon, so I don't mind giving you so much freedom.' Thought the old man, thinking of the High-

level Mage who had asked for Vicente's information.

Meanwhile, Vicente thought about what he would do. 'I'll make sure that there is no clause that prevents me from undermining the strength of this group. I'll see what Jasmine can do to eliminate these people without exposing myself.'

"Fine. But release my master first. Consider it an act of good faith." Vicente said while Benson remained silent, trying to understand his student's motives.

Benson didn't know how Vicente would react in this situation. But he was sure that if his student wanted to, Vice could cause a lot of chaos there.

'Unfortunately, we still have to build new robotic armors... None of this would have happened if I had been dressed in the 3.0 version.' Benson thought to himself, imagining a different outcome if he had had the most advanced armor made by Vicente.

Vicente had only made one of those, and it was being used by one of his men who was near Nina.

Anyway, this group would free Benson, and Vicente would make a deal with the leader of The Ruby Devils.

He would not become a subordinate of that faction but rather the group's official blacksmith, who would have to give them his exclusivity and create the items they needed within the timeframe given to him.

For the time being, Vicente accepted the demands of these criminals. Still, he was already planning how to end this agreement and the existence of The Ruby Devils!
