Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-516

Meanwhile, Vicente had no idea what was happening with his maternal grandparents.

After a short 6-minute walk, he arrived in front of the Bain family residence, where he soon noticed Myra's aura.

Following Nova's lead, he entered a beautiful house with a boat shape and various nautical decorations and went straight to where his girlfriend's older sister was.

"Nova!" Myra knew that Nova and Vicente were coming for a short visit, but she didn't know exactly when they would arrive.

When she saw her sister enter the main hallway of the Bain residence, she was overjoyed to see her little sister, whom she hadn't seen in months.

As she hugged her sister, Myra looked at Vicente and asked. "Why are you wearing something to hide your Magic Gem?"

Magicians had very good memories. As she looked at Vicente's face, Myra realized that he was concealing this essence of himself.

Vicente said. "I've gotten into some trouble, and I'm using this to get out of it. I'd appreciate it if you could keep my true form a secret."

She didn't bother to go any further into this mystery and said. "All right. I'll talk to Max later so he doesn't mention it to anyone."

She was very grateful to Vicente for his words before she and Max left Millfall. Back then, they had given up on the tuna brain they wanted to buy, but because of him, they kept looking for the item, and it wasn't long before they found it on the black market.

They had negotiated a good price for the tuna brain, which had recently greatly impacted the family's income.

In her opinion, protecting his secret was small compared to the debt she owed the young man.

"Where are father and mother?" Nova asked.

Myra looked at her sister and said. "Mother is in the back of the house preparing fish for dinner. As for father, he's out sailing. He won't be back until tomorrow evening."

"Sigh... I'm glad he'll be back tomorrow. Vicente and I will only be in Dryhaven for three days. After that, I must return to my duties at the Saltstar City post."

"Then don't worry. We can have a big family dinner while you are here." Myra smiled as she walked towards her mother.

Just as she reached the spot, she called out. "Mother! Guess who's here? Nova and her future husband!"

Hearing this, Nova's mother stopped what she was doing and turned towards the entrance of the large kitchen where she worked.

She had already heard a lot about the young man Nova was dating from Myra, but also from Nova's own letters.

When she met the tall, strong young man with black hair, the blue-haired woman, who looked very much like Nova and Myra, smiled from ear to ear, happy to finally meet this man.

"My child, you didn't make a bad choice." She teased Nova. "If I weren't married to your father, I'd steal your boyfriend!"

"Mother!"

While Nova complained, Myra laughed, thinking more or less along the same lines as her mother.

Vicente laughed humorlessly, seeing that Nova's mother resembled Myra in appearance and personality.

'My father-in-law must have problems with this woman...' He thought to himself, looking at the bulge in his mother-in-law's clothes, which, even though they were dirty with fish and not so nice, still looked beautiful with her obvious curves.

Her breasts were even bigger than Myra's, while her hips matched Nova's. In a way, Vanessa Morrow looked like the improved, more mature versions of her two daughters, and she practically oozed seduction.

Keeping this woman 'quiet' must take a lot of energy from the old Bain patriarch!

...

While Vicente was meeting his mother-in-law, two people he knew arrived in the city by carriage, returning after a few days away.

Livia Norris and Nicolas Grant, the two young Mages who had been in Millfall for the previous auction and made a quick stop at the Symons family funeral, were back in their city after a recent trip.

Both had been married months ago, even after the many incidents that had plagued the province in the aftermath of the Symons' fall.

Their marriage had been arranged long ago and involved powers greater than those most affected by the fall of the Symons family. With this marriage, the Norris and Grant families had fulfilled an old agreement, and both houses now enjoyed their deepest partnership.

As for Nicolas and Livia, these two loved each other despite their arranged marriage. As such, they had enjoyed their marriage and had been trying to conceive an heir ever since.

That was obviously not the only kind of business the heir of House Grant needed to be involved in, so trips like the one they were returning from were normal.

But after a recent trip, they both thought about the days of rest they would have in their city, with no more complicated problems for them to get involved in, at least for the next few weeks.

As the two of them settled into their comfortable carriage, Livia looked out of the vehicle with determination.

"What are you thinking?" Nicolas asked when he noticed that something was bothering his wife.

"It's the Staples family," Livia said. "I'm pretty sure that bitch has something to do with the Staples family tragedy."

"There's no proof of that, Livia." Nicolas sighed, aware that his wife didn't like the outcome of the recent changes in Millfall at all.

Shelby had gone from being a 'breeding mare' for the Staples family to being the temporary head of a family with the title of Viscount!

That had greatly changed the status of Livia's rival, which had irritated this woman greatly.

She had married the heir of a Count, but knowing that her rival now held the title of Viscount bothered her.

And that, of course, made her suspicious of how Shelby had gotten to where she was.

"Besides, even if she did, young Levi Staples will eventually come of age and take the noble title off her hands," Nicolas added. "After that, she'll have nothing and return to being what she was before."

"Is that so?" Livia didn't think it would be that simple. "Knowing Shelby as I do, she'll probably find a way to control Levi."

"Sigh... Even if she does, that's her problem."

"That's where you're wrong." Livia looked at her husband. "If she continues to hold the title of Viscount, sooner or later, she'll want the title of Count. But to get that position, she has to knock someone out of it. There are only nine Counts in the province. Your father is one of them, Nicolas."

Nicolas' look changed at Livia's words. "What do you have in mind?"

"We must investigate her situation further. We must prepare for her greed. Your father is already old, so protecting his position is protecting us." She said, thinking of Count Grant.

"Do you have any suggestions on where we should start?"

She smiled. "Of course. Shelby was connected to Cesar. Cesar is dead, but that doesn't change the fact that he killed a Sovereign of the army!"
