Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-611

A few minutes after talking to Benson, Vicente was facing Newton.

As he had already told Rory and Eve earlier, he had revealed the truth to that professor about him actually being Cesar Mazzanti.

Newton already had some suspicions, and thinking about it for a few moments, he could see that it made total sense. After seeing Vicente's current configuration of pentagrams and how strong this young man had become, there was no doubt left in this genius's mind.

He didn't take it badly that Vicente had kept it from him. Like Benson, Newton understood that Vice had a sister to protect and would do everything in his power to ensure that.

It wasn't his or anyone else's right to demand things of Vice!

So he was fine but also happy to finally discover the truth and see Cesar's, or rather Vicente's, growth more closely.

After processing the truth and analyzing Vicente's current powers, he sighed and said, "You are off the charts. Maybe you'll become as strong as vampires in the future."

Vampires were the most powerful beings on the continent. Some 3rd stage vampires could even handle fighting some of the weaker Paragons of the human race in these lands. But even one who was hunting Vice could handle a genius of the human race, who was stronger than him by a few levels.

That alone showed how terrible that race was!

However, Newton knew that Vicente had two essences of natural origin in his magical form, which would continue to evolve as he improved his strength and absorbed new pentagrams and special resources.

If one day his yellow pentagram turned green and the green pentagram in the second pentagram position turned cyan, he would probably achieve the same combat proficiency as a highly talented vampire!

"That would be nice." Vicente smiled as he sat down in an armchair in Newton's study room. "I hear that Demonix intends to put The Purification into action."

Newton wasn't surprised to hear that but rather by the fact that Vicente knew about it.

"So you've heard this news too? It is a big problem. The continent will need a lot of people like you to avoid the worst, Vicente." He commented in a tone that showed the situation was not good for magicians like them.

Vicente looked meaningfully at Newton. "That's why I need to make my family grow as much as possible over the next few years. If my plans work out, I might at least be able to defend the kingdom."

"I'll help you do that. I may not have fighting power, but I can facilitate collaboration between your family and the royal forces." Newton offered his help. "The king will certainly appreciate the help of a local force capable of saving his skin."

Newton didn't know the details of Vicente's family. But he was sure that Vice had faked Cesar's death and that the Fuller/Mazzanti family now had more influence and power than when they were in Millfall.

Vicente was already a Sovereign, and there were some High- level Mages associated with him who were part of his family and publicly known.

Through this, Newton could imagine this group growing over the next few years and becoming so strong that it could help the royal family protect this state.

The royal family forbade the formation of armies in the kingdom. Still, the forces of Vice would be so strong by then that the king would have no choice but to accept the Fuller family.

"That would be good." Vicente accepted Newton's offer of help. "I'm not trying to build a force to take other people's lands. I'm merely using my position to offer a service that is offered in many places in the kingdom but without the quality that my family guarantees.

But I have no interest in becoming king or acting publicly. The shadows of this state are much more comfortable. Make that clear to your monarch when the time comes."

"I know that. Don't worry. I'll speak on your behalf so that he sees you as an ally." Newton had already seen Cesar's actions exactly as Vicente had just said, so he had no reason to doubt him.

And the Mazzanti family's actions never really went directly against the army's objectives. In the few situations in which these two forces were on opposing sides, it was always because corrupt soldiers acted to please their supporters or their own interests.

"When do you plan to hunt your fourth pentagram?" He asked, imagining that this would play a very relevant role for Vicente after The Seven Day Tsunami when The Purification should generate problematic consequences for the continent.

"After Nina's awakening, when her situation becomes easier for us to analyze her future prospects." He was direct in his answer.

They were doing everything they could to help Nina overcome her difficulties and eventually awaken a magical power. But they would only know for sure whether or not she would succeed after she turned 14 and went through the Awakening.

Until then, there would be great uncertainty about her future.

Vicente planned to send her to the capital to study at the Seidel Magical College if she did awaken her abilities. By then, his family would be wealthy and large enough for him to no longer fear the royal forces, so it would be a safe and good place for her.

As weak as Seidel Kingdom was compared to the northern states of Polaris Realm, Seidel Magic College was very similar to institutions in other stronger states.

So, it would be a good place for her to develop her powers and abilities and eventually find her own way as a magician.

But if she didn't awaken any powers, her fate would be very different. Vicente would have to make completely different plans to ensure a more or less acceptable life for her.

Without magical powers, she probably wouldn't live more than 100 years, so he would have to find a good place for her to live in peace and perhaps find the love of her life and have a family. But that would depend a lot on her will, so this could become the most difficult of destinies for him to try to influence and protect her.

He preferred not to think about it too much at the moment, so he could only define his plans after she went through the Awakening. By then, he would have more information to choose his path and adjust his plans to Nina's condition.

"I see. That will leave little time for you to do this and for the consequences of The Purification to appear on the continent." Newton commented, but without trying to change Vicente's mind. "But it should also be time for you to prepare. Your next hunt will bring you face to face with a high-level Paragon or an Archmage. Are you prepared for that?"
