Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 107 Favorable and Unfavorable Movements?

After saying goodbye to Ava and Dylan, Vicente and Rory managed to buy two more pills from the alchemist Lukas' friend had recommended.

However, they had to pay a high price for the two pills that the man had at his disposal. According to the man, there were no other pills like the ones they wanted in the shop at the moment.

Vicente, who had already guessed this from the medicinal scent in the air, accepted such a man's price and paid 24,000 bronze coins for the two pills.

Having done that, they returned to their estate after disguising themselves so that no one would be able to trace them from their morning movements.

...

Arriving at their estate, Vicente and Rory soon distributed the items they had just bought to the men they considered most worthy of investment.

But none of these 12 people were allowed to immediately start taking the pills they had received from their bosses.

Given the group's problematic situation, these people would continue to stand guard around the estate while Vice and Rory would recover and try new advancements.

They were the main warriors, so they had to be in the best shape possible!

With that in mind, the two soon drank the potions they had bought with Liam, quickly noticing the quick and gentle effects of the recovery potions.

Vicente immediately felt the pain in his back go away as he drank his potion. Not only that, but he also felt all the mana he had used up earlier and had not yet fully recovered return to normal.

He felt like a deflated balloon returning to its full size, bursting with energy and explosive power in each of his muscles.

Recovery potions not only regenerated injuries and spent mana. They also had the side effect of raising one's spirit and temporarily increasing one's strength.

This was so interesting that some magicians would use potions of various kinds to boost their attributes before an important battle. Even recovery potions were used for this purpose if one did not have the specific spirit and attribute enhancement potion.

However, this was not a power of the user but rather a temporary condition that would pass after minutes or hours, depending on how much one used one's powers.

The positive effects of the potions were very fast, and 5 minutes after taking these two potions, Vice and Rory were fully recovered and ready to meditate.

The two took their Crocodile Tear pills and soon began meditating, trying to strengthen themselves and raise their magic level!

...

While Vicente and Rory were doing their best to prepare for the challenges ahead, the people of Defiant Tyranny had already learned of their new enemies' alliance with the Scarlet Syndicate.

This would definitely hamper their actions against these brave young men who had stood up to them in self-defense the night before. Yet, that didn't mean this local group would accept that and leave things as if nothing had happened.

As a prominent local criminal society, Defiant Tyranny had several ways to pressure Vicente's group and punish them for their crimes.

At the moment, they were not looking for immediate revenge. A frontal attack would only cause the members of the Scarlet Syndicate to act in defense of these young men. They were looking for elusive options, difficult to counter or defend against.

The underworld had its own ways!

...

At Millfall's royal guard post, the Commander worked as usual, dealing with the local matters that required his attention.

The local work was simple. He had to watch the nobles, enforce royal law, and collect the taxes these noble families and local businesses owed to His Majesty.

As a Mage, little of what happened locally caught his attention or was even a problem in the eyes of this seasoned soldier.

But while going about his routine at the Royal Guard office in Millfall, this man suddenly felt a shadow behind him and took his eyes off some documents he was reading.

He did not get up and remained seated in his chair. But he murmured in a low voice. "What do you want? This is not a good place for us to communicate."

"I know. My group has a problem with a rookie. We need your help." The shadow said in a low voice, causing the soldier to narrow his eyes.

"A newbie? Do you want my help because of a rookie? Are you sure about that? I just owe you a favor, so I won't owe you anything else if you use it for this." The Commander muttered.

He was one of the strongest local Mages. However, he was only a soldier and lost out to many high-ranking local Acolytes in terms of influence and wealth.

"I have no choice. I want to hit the bastard, even if it means losing the last favor you owe me. These people I want to hurt are strangers. I'd rather not underestimate them." The gruff, sultry voice said this.

"Very well, tell me who they are, and I will find a way to affect them. But as we've done before, I'll just put them in position for you to do the dirty work."

"That's all I need." The voice said before disappearing.

...

While some moved for bad, others moved for Vicente's good.

Already aware of what had happened at the headquarters of Vicente's mercenary group, Jax Peters was already moving to fulfill the black-haired young man's demands.

He and his younger brother had been beaten the night before. But their situation could have been much worse. Jax had realized that when he heard what happened to an elite squad trying to raid Vice's building that night.

Considering Vicente was strong enough to kill several low-level Acolytes and crazy enough to challenge powerful people in Millfall, this man didn't want any trouble with him!

Jax prayed for Defiant Tyranny to eliminate Vicente. But until that happened, he wanted no more trouble with this crazy young man.

Maybe Vice was destined for the darkness of death, but before he perished, he could still have several chances to take people like Jax with him!

Afraid of that, Jax had already given orders to his family's people to pay the weekly coins Vice had already said they would have to pay.

Meanwhile, Brody was trapped in his own room, too afraid to leave the house after what he had seen the night before.

The black-haired person behind the iron mask was a monster! If he wasn't careful, he could lose his head in no time!

...

The morning passed quickly, and soon, the afternoon in Millfall was ending.

The Fuller family's territory was still intact, and with the rumors circulating, no new trouble had hit the taverns under the group's protection.

Vicente's customers grew more confident in his proposal and began to consider the possibility of extending the shifts of their establishments.

Zander's Tavern had been opening up to an hour later recently, but after the latest news, the brothers were already thinking about keeping it open much longer.

Vicente was bold enough to act against groups of Acolytes, so he must have had his cards up his sleeve. After all, what fool would risk his life without a lifesaver?

Because of thoughts like that, some of the local merchants already visited by Vice or Rory became more interested in joining their group.

But some still wanted to see how this rising group in this outermost part of Millfall would deal with the consequences of their recent actions. They had acted against big people. Surely, there would be consequences!

If they showed that they could continue to grow and withstand the pressure of their enemies, many people would finally be willing to make deals to join Vicente's burgeoning territory!

But while many in the neighborhood were thinking about him, Vicente was finishing his cultivation and opening his eyes.

Unfortunately, he did not feel his magic level at a new level. However, in a single afternoon, he had advanced more than 60% of the way to the peak of his level, Intermediate Apprentice.

'Liam's pill didn't give me the breakthrough I was looking for, but that was because I had only recently reached my current level.' Vicente thought, considering the fact that this alchemist hadn't had a chance to feel his level.

The pill Liam had sold to Vicente and Rory was for Intermediate Apprentices who were close to advancing, not for young people who had just reached that level!

But with his extraordinary talent, Vicente had absorbed a lot from that pill, increasing not only the density of mana in his body but also his understanding of his two elements, Earth and Lightning.

Leaving his state of meditation, he did not hesitate to activate his ability, causing a Red Pentagram to emerge from his being, a little bigger than before and in a brighter shade.

The moment he moved his manda across his Magic Gem and felt his ability, a smile appeared on Vicente's face.
