Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
chapter-667

After reuniting with Vicente at the Fuller estate, Nova soon had some quality time with her man, relaxing a bit from the months of travel and the tension of the hunt for her fourth pentagram.

After a while, the two were lying in Vicente's bed, a place he'd been using lately more to have sex with his women than to sleep.

They chatted for a while about Nova's experiences on her latest hunt until she asked him how his family was doing.

"The family is doing well. We got two new Sovereigns while you were gone. Brooks Snow and Tanner Kane advanced a few days ago." He mentioned two soldiers who had been with the family since he arrived in Saltstar City and who had reached the 4th stage.

"What about Eve? Has she advanced?" Nova asked, aware that the blonde responsible for taking care of Nina and the family business was already at the peak of the 3rd stage when she left to hunt her pentagram.

But Eve wasn't as talented as the other people who had advanced so far. "No. She will advance after I leave.

She won't go with my group, and she won't hunt for her fourth pentagram until I return from my trip. It would be good if she advanced to the 4th stage, but we don't need to rush her.

Anyway, Jasmine has also advanced to the 4th stage. She should soon be summoned to the kingdom's capital to learn her future."

"Do you think she and Layla will be sent to the headquarters of the Congregation of Revelations?" Nova asked as she looked into Vicente's eyes, snuggling up to him under the sheets, both of them naked.

"I hope not. As much as I need them to go to the Congregation of Revelations headquarters, now wouldn't be a good time. The vampires know that this is one of the largest organizations on the continent. They will surely attack this place in a very short time," Vicente said.

"But if they are attacked, you may never get the information they can give you in the future." Nova tried to understand what her man had in mind.

"It's easier to discover a fallen organization's secrets than that from a force at its best. If it means that the Congregation of Revelations will be hurt, that's better.

But I don't think it will be that easy. The largest force on the continent has its methods and certainly has some 'insurance' in case the worst happens.

As long as Jasmine and Layla survive, they'll have easier access to that organization when people like them are more valued by their own group."

"I see."

"But that is all out of my control," Vicente muttered while staring at the ceiling.

One of the two situations would be better for him, but he had plans for both!

"Anyway, you should get your parents to move to Metal City. I know their business is in Dryhaven, but I'm sure they have the resources to start a new business in Metal City. They'll be safe there." He advised as he looked at Nova.

"I've already suggested it, but they're reluctant to give up everything they've built up over decades." She said with a worried expression on her face.

It was difficult to convince older people to make such significant changes.

"You have to insist more. If you want to take them to one of the monster settlements near the provincial border so they understand the dangers, I can assemble a group to help you." He suggested.

"I'll see if I can convince my father to visit Metal City. If he agrees, I'll do it."

...

Since Nova's comeback, a couple of weeks have gone by.

Today, Nina had her last day of classes at the Saltstar City Royal Academy, while the Saltstar City & Grandis Railway was 98% complete!

In a few more days, the railroad would be finished, and Vicente would leave this place with his family and group, who would either stay in Grandis or continue with him for the hunt.

Layla and Jasmine had already left the city when they were called by the city post to receive new orders. Meanwhile, Nova had received a letter from the king summoning her to the capital, something everyone had expected since Vicente and Nina were going there.

Two more men from the Fuller family had advanced to the 4th stage during this period, making for an exciting total of Sovereigns to be left behind.

Vicente's group was already packing their bags for this trip, which could take them away from their territory for a few years!

...

A week after Nina's lessons had ended, Killian had already left the city to return to the capital, where he would soon reveal himself to her as the third prince.

Meanwhile, at the dawn of a new day in the city, Vicente and his party arrived by carriage at the Saltstar City train station, where a crowd had gathered to watch the inauguration of the new railroad.

The railroad between Saltstar City and Grandis would be the longest of its kind for a long time. The journey would take 25 days, and initially, two or three trains would make the trip every 25 days.

The first of these trains, which would depart from Saltstar City, currently has 12 passenger cars that can comfortably carry up to 150 people.

Judging by the number of people who had bought tickets for the trip starting today, Vicente and his family would not be the only ones traveling on this first train.

However, they would soon enter the station where they would say goodbye to their subordinates and allies who would stay behind in this city.

After today, it will be a long time before Vicente returns to this place.

However, no one there could have imagined that the next time he returned to this place, this city would not only no longer be the capital of Scott Province, but it would not have as many people or as many opportunities.

The next time Vicente set foot in Saltstar City, it would be a ruin devastated by the disasters that would follow the catastrophe of The Purification.

Not only would this city be like this in a few years, but several places he and his party would pass through during the next few weeks of their journey would become sites of tragedies unparalleled in the continent's recent history.

However, none of the smiling, hopeful looks on the faces of those who left or stayed behind had any way of imagining that now.

The order of things on the continent was about to change!

For the moment, peace and hope continued as Vicente, Nina, Nova, Eve, Sarah, Casey, Onyx, Newton, and others associated with the Fuller family left the city.
