Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

After Vicente's decision, quickly, a month and a half had passed!

Having made up his mind about the near future of his sister and his, Vicente had prepared Nina and collected everything essential for them to take back to Martell Village.

He also got a coffin before he left Saltstar City, something he intended to use to carry his father to Martell Village.

Unfortunately, Vicente's plans for his father had not worked out, and after a week of traveling, Soren and Wesley had to advise him to bury Andrew early.

They had nothing to preserve the body, so if they continued traveling like that, they would have a problem because of the terrible smell of a corpse.

Therefore, Vicente had improvised, together with his fellow travelers, a small funeral for Andrew on the road. After saying goodbye to his father with his sister, the two men buried the coffin, and young Fuller made an item to mark his father's resting place.

He had left behind a cross on the spot where he had buried his old man.

Vicente was not a religious person in his other life. Still, he did not doubt the existence of something from a higher dimension.

He had been part of a mafia family in which the Don firmly believed in the existence of God, so he had some customs from earthly religions.

After burying his old man, he and Nina had traveled alongside Soren and Wesley without any problems over the next few weeks, retracing the route they had taken to go to Saltstar City.

Finally, this afternoon they spotted Martell Village in the distance, this place they had left in an entirely different number months ago.

...

Seeing the little Martell Village getting closer and closer, Vicente took a deep breath while he had an inexpressive look on his face.

Returning to this place after this horrible trip was not easy for him. But Vice was determined to start his projects in this place.

'How must Rory be?' He wondered. 'I'll talk to him about what happened. If he is not interested in joining my family, I will not insist.

Not everyone has the stomach to deal with my life's problems.'

With that in mind, Vicente would soon see his group's carriage pass through the village's dirt streets, heading toward his family's estate.

Seeing that place through the window, Nina could not hold back her tears and hugged her brother tightly.

'Don't worry. Big brother will never leave you, Nina.' He wrote to her. 'Soon you will turn 5, so I will put you in the Academy of Stars. In the meantime, I will deal with everything else. You don't have to worry about anything.'

She shook her little head, indicating she would do as he decided.

When the carriage stopped, he soon descended with Nina in his arms while those two men unloaded the things from the carriage.

"Vicente, that's all," Wesley said as he stopped in front of that child in the entrance hall of that residence.

As he finished putting all the belongings of those two in that place, Soren looked at Vicente and asked. "What are you going to do now?"

Vice heard this and said. "I am going to take care of my sister. Work with my father's business and eventually awaken my magical talents. That's all for now..."

"That's good. When you go through the Awakening Ceremony, if you want, look us up. We can make you a special price to take you to the city you choose." Soren commented before saying goodbye to Vicente and Nina.

So the two were alone in that large house, so large that they felt as if something was wrong with just them being there.

"Big brother, can I sleep with you?" Nina asked him, afraid to be alone in her room.

Vice immediately agreed before climbing the stairs to the second floor with all of his and Nina's things.

After arranging everything in his room, he brought Nina's bed and placed it next to his where she could sleep next to him.

She was just a child and his sister, so it would be okay for the two of them to sleep together for the time being.

When he finished doing this, it was already night in Martell Village, and he quickly cooked what little he knew to make something for Nina and him.

When they finished eating, he was about to go to sleep with Nina to prepare for the next day, but then someone knocked on his door.

Pa! Pa!

"Andrew, I heard you returned. It's me, Jesse." Vicente's father's most trusted man called out, eager to talk to his boss about some matters.

Vicente ran to the second floor of that house and opened the door. "Jesse, are you here to discuss something important with my father?" He asked.

This was a difficult world to access information or stay current on situations far away from you.

There were means of communication, and there were also periodicals that carried important news. But these media were not easily accessible. Far-reaching communication was only feasible for well-positioned magicians in this society. At the same time, newspapers did not reach villages like this.

And even if newspapers reached places like this, they would never report something like Kate's or Andrew's deaths.

As such, that man was not aware of the situation of Vicente's parents.

"Yeah, where is he, Vice?" Jesse looked through the door and saw only Nina upstairs, looking at them near the stairs.

Vicente looked at this man for a moment and said nothing.

Vincente's father trusted Jesse a lot, but he had been through a lot recently and remembered what had happened on Earth more than ever.

He didn't want to be betrayed again!

"My father had some problems and stayed in Saltstar City with Lauren and my mother." Vice lied. "Since Nina is about to begin her studies at the Academy of Stars, I returned with her while they stayed there."

"Oh? I didn't expect that." Jesse said with surprise. "What's the problem that made them stay behind?"

"It seems Lauren has a higher grade talent than our parents. Someone invited her to join a clan." Vicente made it up.

But the person who had taken her was really a member of a clan.

As already said, noble families in this state had no right to form army-like groups. Only the royal family could do that. However, there were organizations in Polaris Realm, which crossed state boundaries, and were sometimes even stronger than states like the Seidel Kingdom.

These organizations were usually either clans or sects.

Vicente didn't know which clan was behind Lauren's kidnapping, but he knew that she had been taken by a group like that.

"Impressive! I didn't expect that!" That man said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hmm, so I will take care of my father's business while he is sorting out my sister's situation. I hope you will help me..." He said, looking into that man's eyes.

"Certainly. I'll be going then, Vice. I don't want to disturb your and your sister's rest." Jesse left.

When he closed the door, Vicente stood behind it for a few moments. 'I have to move all the people who were part of my father's group.

They know all of my father's contacts, and if they want to rebel against me, they have the potential to succeed in taking or even destroying part of my father's arrangements.

That would be terrible for Nina and me.' He looked at her, determined about what he should do.

"Innocent or not, I must eliminate them to protect my sister!"
