Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 34: True Intentions?

In the next few weeks, Vicente would get ten more young men between the ages of 15 and 20 to start working with him on his old man's estate.

Rory was behind most of them, but some of these youths Vicente had recruited on his own.

By putting them to work together with his father's former workers, Vicente quickly helped these inexperienced young men learn many things.

Magicians learned relatively easily, so in less than three weeks since his return to Martell Village, he had quickly managed to fire half of his father's group of former workers.

With more than half of his people being people he trusted, Vicente had recently invested some of his time initiating new conversations with his father's old suppliers.

Vicente told them that for the past few months, he had been in charge of the operations of his father's group, showing that he was already as capable as his old man.

As the group's new leader, he wanted to bring these contacts closer to him, having offered them new contracts, more advantageous to their parties than to his.

As someone who was only trying to protect what he had, Vicente agreed to lower his margins a little, offering better prices to his suppliers.

This obviously brought good results since everyone valued coins in this society.

The magical world depended on magic and things that could affect a person's or family's power.

Among these, coins could provide the basis for magicians to have better artifacts and enough resources to train their skills as well as influence more powerful magicians.

Vicente knew this and had won several triumphs in his actions over the past few days!

...

While Vicente's actions were reducing the risks to his operations, Soren and Wesley entered this village again, returning from days of mission and training in Millfall.

Whenever they finished their missions, they went to this town to use some of their resources and train in a more capable place.

Magicians and warriors like them, who had no support, needed to do this to become stronger.

But after their training and a mission they had accomplished in that city, they had left back to this place where their families were.

"I wonder how that boy is doing?" Soren asked Wesley, thinking of Vice as they passed in the central part of this village.

From there, they could see the house of the late Andrew. Seeing that location, they sighed as they thought about the plight of the two children who were supposed to be there.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they are no longer in the village," Wesley commented. "If I were in that boy's place, I would take that girl and leave for Millfall.

I would sell whatever Andrew had left and focus on restarting a new life there."

"Hmm, that wouldn't be a bad plan..." Soren commented as he got off his horse, already seeing some mercenaries known to them in the vicinity of the post of the family of the Duke.

"Soren, Wesley, your services must be really excellent... You guys barely have time to rest, and more services come to you." A strong man said as he approached them with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Wesley asked.

"Jesse is in search of you guys. I think he wants to hire you. He asked us to inform you of this and come to his house when you can." This bald mercenary said as he greeted his friends.

"Jesse? From the Fuller estate?" Soren questioned.

"That's the one. Andrew must be seeking your services again."

Upon hearing this, Soren and Wesley looked at each other, finding it strange.

"Impossible. Andrew died months ago." Wesley said in a low voice.

"What?" That mercenary frowned his eyebrows. "Is that true?"

"Yes, didn't you know?"

"No, Jesse didn't say anything. The staff at the Fuller estate also continue to work as normal." That mercenary commented.

It was a surprise to hear that Andrew had died, but his family's continued operations were not surprising. After all, just because he had died didn't mean that Vicente and Nina had to stop living or earning their coins.

Soren and Wesley thought the same but found it strange that Jesse was after them.

"Let's see what he wants. Maybe young Vicente will hire us for something." Soren said before saying goodbye to that other mercenary.

...

Pa! Pa!

"Jesse, it's us, Soren and Wesley." One of the two warriors said this out loud after knocking on the door of that man's residence.

After a minute, the door opened, and Jesse's wait was finally over.

"Soren, Wesley, you have finally returned!" He said with a wide smile on his face.

"Hmm, we were just taking care of some business... Anyway, what do you want with us, Jesse?" Soren asked.

Jesse clasped his hands behind his back and said. "It's about Vicente. He's been making some strange decisions recently... I don't know. I doubt Andrew would approve.

So I want to know what happened to him before he returns from his trip. Without knowing more, I won't be able to help him."

"Is that so?" The two looked at each other, feeling that it made sense.

"He didn't tell you anything?" Wesley asked.

"No. I think he wants to avoid talking about it. But I know there's a problem." Jesse said, trying to hide his negative intentions about Vicente. "But I wish I knew... I wish I could help this boy in some way."

"Sigh... It won't be easy for you to do that."

Soren sighed, feeling they should tell the recent history of the Fuller family to this trusted subordinate of Andrew's.

"A few months ago, while we were traveling to Saltstar City, Miss Kate died due to a fight of high-level cultivators..."

At the beginning of Soren's speech, Jesse opened his mouth in shock, seeing that Vicente had lied about practically everything after returning from his trip.

Kate and Andrew were not settling the matters of Lauren's joining a clan. They were dead while she was missing!

Upon hearing that, he felt bad for these people for a moment because he really didn't wish the worst on them.

But upon discovering the truth and thinking more about Vicente's recent actions, Jesse readily understood what this boy was trying.

'He wanted to keep me out of Andrew's business! He wanted to keep me away from the possibility of me taking over the business for myself!' He immediately thought about it since he couldn't ignore that opportunity.

'Bastard! He made me stand still for weeks!' He clenched his fists angrily while pretending to be deeply moved.

He liked Andrew, but in the death of the strongest in that family, there was no reason for him to give everything that man had left to the brat Vicente.

As someone who had worked alongside Andrew for decades, no one was better than him to take over the Fuller family's business and property!

'Damn it, I have to move and take what this brat has been occupying. Since he has turned on me, I will take everything he has!'
