Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

Chapter 507 Time to Act?

?Three days after the incident with The Ruby Devils...

After dealing with the situation with Benson, Vicente left the Ruby Devils' headquarters and tried to get back to his everyday life. He talked to his master about what had happened and his plans before receiving his first assignment from that group.

The leader of The Ruby Devils thought that Vicente wouldn't live more than 10 days, so he wanted to use as much of this blacksmith as possible.

When Vicente arrived home later that day, wagons of materials and men from the largest faction of the local underworld were waiting for him with orders.

The days that had passed since then were all the time he needed to produce all the ordered items, which he had only three more days to deliver.

Luckily, his unique skill helped him a lot in producing the artifacts, and he finished his work in half the time. But he didn't want to deliver the artifacts early. He had things to do, so he didn't tell the faction about it.

Even during the three days he'd been making the artifacts, he hadn't stopped taking care of his personal life, playing with and helping Nina, talking about his business with Rory and the Mazzanti family, and also dealing with Nova.

He had already talked to Nova about the trip to Dryhaven, and this Commandant of the royal army had agreed to go to her family's city. She said she could ask for a few day's leave from the army, and if he wanted, they could leave next weekend.

He didn't promise anything but told her he would see the best date for them to go to Dryhaven.

So Vicente's days passed until that afternoon when he finally saw Layla and Jasmine after weeks of not seeing them.

...

"You have a fantastic ability to get yourself into trouble," Layla said as she glared at Vicente.

Jasmine closed her eyes as she leaned back in her chair in a VIP room at a local restaurant.

Vicente had his eyes on the gray-haired woman in front of him who had recently become a Mid-level Mage.

"Layla, don't talk like that," Jasmine said before Vicente could reply. "It's normal for someone like him to get into trouble easily."

Vicente sighed and asked. "What can you do for me? I personally won't be able to kill the members of this group, but nothing is stopping me from negotiating the end of The Ruby Devils."

"Do you want us to help you destroy this faction?" Layla asked in a louder tone.

"I want you to help me finish them."

Jasmine opened her eyes and looked at Vicente, wondering why he hadn't done it himself. "I know a way. There's a group in the city that's trying to get more power. If we give them the right weapons, they might try something."

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

She said. "I can try to connect this group with the blacksmith Lukas. If they make deals for the weapons you left in Millfall, the fall of The Ruby Devils will happen much faster."

Vicente's eyes lit up at this information. "Then let's do it. I've left 20 of the most advanced weapons I made with Lukas for him to trade when he gets stronger. But I can send him a message to trade them with this group."

"But that would put weapons capable of hurting us into the hands of people who will eventually be our opponents," Layla said, remembering that Vicente wanted to dominate the province.

They would have to eliminate large groups to do that, such as a faction that acquired such weapons and defeated The Ruby Devils.

Vicente replied. "That's a problem for the future. Besides, my weapons require special ammunition. We can solve that relatively easily when the time comes." The source of thɪs content is ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

"Very well. I'll act as an intermediary between Lukas and this group to make the deal happen." Jasmine said. "I will also try to spread some information that will incite underworld groups to take action against The Ruby Devils. But it will take at least a few weeks for these actions to take effect."

"I know. Don't worry, I'll work for them in the short term." He said, thinking about sending a letter to Lukas for such a blacksmith to explain to the weapons buyers that they should be careful with such items and never use them against armor.

'I had to create defensive items that can withstand the power of Lukas's weapons for The Ruby Devils. So, I must make those buyers smart enough to defeat people wearing such armor.' Vicente's eyes narrowed as he sipped his wine.

But as he stood there, eating and drinking with these two beautiful women, one of his devices suddenly vibrated, drawing his attention.

'This...'

Jasmine and Layla looked at Vicente as they realized something was wrong.

"I have to go." He said without explaining himself, while the item Snow Claw had left with him signaled that it was time for this man to move on to the next stage!

Vicente left in a hurry, heading for one of the exits of Saltstar City.

...

While Vicente was on his way, Miss Death's group was still in the city.

They were investigating Snow Claw and the disappearance of one of her companions who had vanished three days ago. Vicente had left that man's body behind, but royal forces had found the body before his teammates.

It was only today that they received a message from their sect about the old man's death.

They were about to go in search of the old man's potential killer when a woman dressed in black with an aura of death around her appeared on their path.

"Thirty-Three..." Miss Death said as she felt the powerful aura of this woman who was now an Earth Sovereign!

Thirty-Three looked at her Miss and handed her a small crystal. "I have been successful, Miss. Before returning to the sect, I was fortunate enough to find our goal."

Those in Miss Death's group smiled when they heard this, imagining that the crystal brought by Thirty-Three contained Jonah's data, which would be enough for them to complete their mission.

"Where is he? Can I finish him where we are, or must we move?" Lauren got right to the point, knowing that as long as she was close enough to her target, she could eliminate him using the information Thirty-Three had engraved on the crystal.

"He's in a forest near the city. We need to get a little closer to him, but don't worry, Miss. Your mission is almost complete." Thirty-Three said in a soft tone. "He seemed to be preparing to advance, so he'll be vulnerable for the next few hours."

"Then let's leave immediately." One of the group said.

"What about what we were going to do?" One of them asked.

Miss Death said. "I want one of you to go to The Ruby Devils and ask them what the old man said the last time they saw him. The last time we saw him, he said he would settle a matter from our mission with this group."

"I will do that." One of them said, just before the others left the city and went to the group from the largest local faction.
