Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-514

"This is the one," Nova replied to the woman who was leading them.

Her family was well known in Dryhaven. Having been in the fishing and boat business for many years, the House Bain had positioned itself well enough to be known throughout the city.

The woman guiding them smiled at Nova and talked a little about the Bain family before telling Vicente to take good care of the blue-haired young woman.

Vicente and Nova listened to what this person had to say until they reached the place where a good-looking woman who looked to be in her late forties was tending a small garden at the back of the property.

This woman was obviously much older than she looked. Vicente realized this when he noticed the many similarities this person had with his mother, even though she was his mother's mother.

Hana's cultivation wasn't particularly remarkable, so she couldn't have been very old since an Acolyte's vitality wasn't usually high.

Still, Hana must have been around 80 years old, although she looked very good, with a strikingly curvaceous figure that was hard to hide even in her baggy gardening clothes.

Vicente stopped behind Hana, where she was tending to some flowers, and stood silently watching this woman, seeing a lot of his mother in her.

Hana looked like an older version of Kate!

Nova noticed Vicente's behavior and sighed inwardly, feeling very sorry for her friend.

"Lady, Vicente Fuller and Nova Bain are here to see you." The person who had led them there informed her boss before leaving, but not so much that she wouldn't overhear their conversation.

"Fuller?" Hana's eyes narrowed as some memories from decades ago came back to her. 'Wasn't that the boy's name?'

Hana stopped fiddling with her plants and stood up to look at Vicente, not needing to hear anything from this young man to know who he was to her. 'Kate's son...' She thought, a little hurt, remembering how her daughter had run off like a man instead of following her parents' plans.

But it wasn't bad to see her grandson. After all, he wasn't to blame for his mother's sins. So she decided to listen to him.

"Son, come here." She smiled at him as she showed him one of her hands. "How old are you now? How's your family?"

Vicente kissed one of Hana's hands, a Seidel Kingdom custom in which the youngest showed respect to the elders within their family.

Though the mother's family was often not officially considered part of the family, after Lauren and Nina, Hana was the closest Vicente had in this world in terms of lineage.

For someone who valued blood as much as he did, that was enough for him to have some respect for his grandmother.

"I'm 15. As far as my family is concerned, we're doing as well as we can... Anyway, that's what I wanted to talk to you about today, ma'am." Vicente said in a serious tone.

She became curious and soon found a place to sit in his garden.

"Did something problematic happen?" She asked, wondering where this was going.

"Yes, very problematic. A few years ago, my family, which at the time consisted of my father, mother, older sister, younger sister, and myself, were traveling when we came across a battle of Sovereigns." Vicente didn't like to talk about it, so he always summed it up as best he could when talking about that day. "The result was disastrous. Lauren went blind, and Nina went deaf. As for my mother, she died on the battlefield."

Hana received this as if she had been electrocuted, not expecting to be told of her daughter's death in this way.

Even though she had fallen out with Kate over her daughter's choices, she still loved Kate and wouldn't wish the worst on her daughter.

Hearing Vicente's words made her feel guilty and regretful, while a heartbreaking feeling arose in her heart. It wasn't easy to lose a child, even in the world of magic!

In the world of magic, people who were able to awaken their powers could usually live for centuries, sometimes over a thousand years, if they were lucky. So, it was quite normal to expect a non-warrior like Kate to live a long life.

For someone like her to die so young because of something so unjust was an immense tragedy!

"Sigh!" Hana sighed deeply as she closed her eyes. "So that's what happened..."

The woman who had been leading Vicente and Nova around the estate heard this and opened her mouth in shock as she felt a pang in her heart. 'Kate is dead?'

She was saddened but quickly moved on and went to Hana's husband's office to inform him.

Vicente said. "Ma'am, I have come to inform you of this. I don't expect anything in return, not even help. Although my family has had many problems in recent years, Nina and I are well today.

Sooner or later, we will take revenge on the people who caused our mother's death. I will avenge my mother's death."

When Hana saw Vicente standing up, she felt even sadder. This "child" in front of her had not only lost his mother but also carried the full weight of revenge on himself.

That should be the responsibility of her and her husband!

They were Kate's parents and ultimately responsible for their daughter!

"Don't talk nonsense. What are you going to do against the Sovereigns, son?" She said in a soft tone. "It is a shame that your mother died like that, but certain unexplainable and unjust things happen. We can only mourn when one of us is affected by such things."

As she spoke, a man who looked older than her, tall and strong, very well dressed, appeared not far from where they were sitting under a tree.

"Hana, Kate..."

"Yes, dear... Unfortunately, our Kate is gone." Hana confirmed what the man had just heard, making him feel his legs weaken.

"That can't be..."

"Sigh... This is one of Kate's children. He's here to tell us about the tragedy." Hana pointed to the young man in front of her while Nova stood silently beside him, trying not to interrupt this touching moment.

Vicente's grandfather looked at the young man as he sat down next to his wife, seeing a lot of Andrew in the boy.

"Son, where is your scoundrel father?"

Vicente respected his old father very much despite the man's terrible end. However, he understood the side of this family that had just discovered the loss of a daughter.

Ignoring his grandfather's way of speaking, he said. "My father died a few months after my mother. My sister Lauren was kidnapped after her Awakening, and he died soon after. Now it's just me and Nina."

The two old people felt even worse for their young grandson, seeing how "alone" he must have been.
