Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

Chapter 197 Overcoming Barriers?

"Sir, can you show me the bathroom?" One of the Fuller family's emissaries, who was carrying a long metal box similar to the ones his companions were carrying, asked the butler who was leading them.

Hearing this, the man in the black suit smiled and showed him the bathroom in the corridor they were in.

"The second door on the right." He said, not finding it strange when the man went into the bathroom with the metal box.

These boxes that Vicente's men were carrying must have contained various items that were precious to the Fuller family. It wasn't surprising that the Acolytes sent by the young Fuller had been careful with them, taking care of what was their responsibility all along.

The butler and the other men of the Fuller family stood outside the bathroom waiting for the man until he returned a minute later with the same box in his hands.

The butler then took them to the Baron's office, where the man was waiting for them.

...

Meanwhile, in the bathroom where one of Vice's men had just left...

A masked person who shouldn't have been there was standing in front of the toilet with a red pentagram spinning in front of his right hand.

Sensing all the metallic objects on the property, including the number of magicians and people there, it took Vicente only a minute to confirm all the information Rory had gathered.

'Rory was right. The defenses on this property are on all the windows, doors, and openings with contact with the outside of the property. The only way in is through the front door, from where one of the butlers must open it for us.' He sighed, noticing that there weren't many barriers inside this mansion but rather around it.

In addition to defensive items that would make the outer doors of this place virtually impenetrable to 2nd stage magicians, there were a number of warning devices that would be triggered if one somehow managed to get past the barriers.

If Vicente had tried to force his way into this place, even after overcoming the barriers, he would have had an additional problem when the warning devices sounded, alerting all the men on the estate to his presence.

With several mid- and high-level Acoytes there, including level 7 and 8 Generals, Vicente knew he might even die if he activated one of those alarm devices!

However, with the help of the servant Rory had seduced, he had found a way to enter safely and now had the path to the estate's vault.

Sensing the location of this family's resources, he saw that all of Lena's information was correct and looked up at the ceiling.

'According to the maid, Lena, a tube runs through this bathroom and connects to the floor where the vault of this residence is located.' He immediately used the metals around his body and began to float in the air, entering the ducts to follow the safest route to the vault.

Nine magicians were in the area, watching different points of the building. To avoid most of them, Vicente used this route, leaving the bathroom and quickly following the path recommended by Lena.

To pull off this heist and achieve his goal, Vicente would have to move around the property, open the vault, and steal whatever was valuable inside before his group finished negotiating with the Baron.

That would give him about five minutes or so, considering that Baron Irwin might refuse to do business with his group and end the talks quickly.

With so little time, he moved with haste and quickly reached the second floor of this mansion, where the closest point to the vault was, following the path he had used from the bathroom.

Arriving above a corridor that led to the training area of this estate and the vault, Vice once again used his abilities to sense the presence of humans in the area.

Noticing only one person guarding the entrance to the vault, but with his back to the corridor, he quickly exited the passageway he was in and stopped next to one of the walls, looking from side to side.

Dressed as a butler, Vicente quickly assembled all the metals he had with him into a cart that would be useful for carrying dishes.

He took a deep breath and took his first step towards the man, looking down.

"Senior, would you like some tea?" He asked as he stopped next to where the man stood, drawing the attention of the General who hadn't expected to see a servant standing there.

Seeing that it was a servant, the man turned his face back to the treasury entrance and said. "No, I..."

Initially, He wasn't suspicious, as this estate had a dozen servants. But after letting his guard down at first, this man quickly realized that something was wrong because the person he had just ignored had a different magic gem than anyone he knew.

He then turned his face back to Vicente to confirm that he had indeed seen an unusual yellow gem on the forehead of the man dressed as a butler.

Pow!

Unfortunately for him, all Vicente wanted was for him to lower his guard at the first moment of contact between them!

When the man realized that this person was not one of the family's subordinates, he saw a metal bar quickly approaching his face, giving him no time to dodge.

When he felt a strong blow, the man didn't even scream before he fainted, his body falling to the ground without putting up the slightest resistance.

This was a General, someone who was very strong because of his physical abilities and martial arts. But even a good warrior could be taken by surprise.

When he was hit on the head, he fainted instantly!

'Time to act.' Vicente quickly grabbed some explosives he had in his spatial storage item and placed them here and there, just like he had done on the way from the bathroom on the first floor to this floor.

Having done this in less than 40 seconds, he finally stopped in front of the entrance to this building's vault, which had security mechanisms related to magic and magical formations designed by engineers.

However, Vicente was a bank robber and had been practicing on his estate to rob such a vault since he had eliminated the young master Irwin weeks ago.

Standing in front of the vault door, he smiled and did what he had done about 20 times in his training over the past few weeks.

'Hehe, after today, everything will be different, Irwin family!' He laughed as he moved the mechanisms and barriers in front of him, easily overcoming the defenses of an object that was supposed to prevent Acolytes, in general, from doing what he was doing.
