Taking the Mafia to the Magic World
Chapter 384: The End of a Long Night (1)Minutes after killing Viscount Symons, Vicente arrived at the Mazzanti estate, carrying the motionless body of Sarah Mercer while being quite tired, with injuries here and there.
He had encountered 5 new opponents on his way here and killed them all, as they were level 5 Acolytes and a Low-level Mage. However, despite defeating these new opponents, Vicente still suffered a bit from them, considering how hard he had already labored tonight.
Potions didn't instantly restore 100% of a magician's strength, and even after a few minutes of using such a resource, a magician wouldn't be as well off as if they hadn't fought at all.
If the potion didn't have a stimulating property, it wouldn't bring the person who consumed it to their best state even after its full effect. Not only that, but the potions could heal mana and physical injuries, but not mental ones.
Incredible as it may seem, there were no potions that could heal the mental part of a magician. Some very rare natural resources could affect the mental part of magicians, but there were no pills or potions capable of it.
Given this limitation, warriors who used potions to recover would only partially regain their fighting condition, as the mental wear and tear would not be removed, and only with rest could one truly return someone to their 100% state.
That's why Vicente had suffered a bit on the way to the Mazzanti estate.
But even though he suffered, he made it all the way to see his family.
When he got there, with Sarah floating next to him, he saw two bodies in front of the Mazzanti estate. One had many puncture wounds all over his body. The other had lightly burned skin and a reddish liquid dripping from his facial orifices but mostly from his ears.

Meanwhile, Bart was flying overhead, and Rory was on the roof of the mansion, still with his flame avatar activated as he looked in the direction of the man who had just died.
'It looks like the fight just ended...' Vicente saw his family had solved the problem for themselves and couldn't help but smile under his mask.
Then he said. "Congratulations to all of you for standing up to those bastards. Bart, you did a good job helping the family."
The giant beast looked to its master's side and didn't hesitate to land beside him, having been largely responsible for killing the Mid-level Mage.
The Mazzanti family's bullets and Rory's flames had wounded Cole's body enough to make him feel pain and fear for his life. But Bart's high-pitched scream had been responsible for the death of the Mid-level Mage.
As for the Low-level Mage with several punctures all over his body, he had died from the number of shots he had taken.
The bullets from Vicente's latest weapons couldn't kill a Mage with just one or two shots. But that man had been shot more than 100 times in the past few minutes, each of which contained powerful electric shocks.
Because of the HUNDREDS of shots, this man had fallen for a type of weapon designed to kill Acolytes!
Rory saw Vicente arrive next to a black-haired woman.
Sarah was staring wide-eyed at the two bodies of the Mages outside the Mazzanti mansion.
'How did this happen? Cole and Leo should have been able to eliminate this family!' She despaired, sensing that things were about to get very dangerous for her faction. 'Shit! I have to find a way to warn my group! Those bastards are still alive, and they're stronger than we expected.'
Rory stopped beside Vicente and asked. "Who's that? How was your evening? Were you able to carry out your plans?"
"This woman chased me after I left the auction... After I killed the Viscount, I kidnapped her so we could find out who she is." He looked at her, noticing the strange expression on her face. "But judging by her appearance, I think she's behind the group you encountered."
"That seems to be the case," Rory commented, also looking at the face of the beautiful woman hovering next to Vicente.
Meanwhile, several Mazzanti men had left the estate, following family protocol and being very cautious of their surroundings.
Their leaders were monsters, but they were ordinary magicians. As such, they had to be careful even after a battle was over.
While they checked the bodies of their enemies and set up a larger security perimeter, Vicente said to Rory as he massaged Bart's head.
"We will hear the results of this evening soon. I got some items through the auction and the event participants, while our friend probably got her wish. I think Layla will be back soon with news. An emissary from the Scarlet Syndicate will also be joining us in the next few hours."
Rory sighed when he heard this, as it would solve one of their problems and, at the same time, bring more resources to the family.

"Yes, that will be our concern from now on. The army has nothing for now since I haven't left any trace of my actions. But we'll have to be careful with the soldiers who will come because of the death of those four Commanders.
But once that's resolved, we'll have a stable local position." Vicente sighed, seeing some peace after months of turmoil in Millfall.
"True, there are still those soldiers coming from the capital... How much time do we have? Two weeks?"
"Yes."
The man with the mask and the red hair asked. "You want to solve Jasmine's situation after that, right?"
"Yes, we can't do it before then. First, I'll see what those soldiers will do. Then, it will be time for us to act against The Faceless Ones." He said, looking at the woman, imagining that there was a good chance that she belonged to such a faction.
She made an ugly expression as she looked at Vicente, seeing that neither of them respected or feared her speaking such critical things in front of them.
'You bastards! I'm going to kill you!'
While she was thinking this, the soldiers in the area noticed someone approaching and moved their weapons in the direction of the fast footsteps.
Then Layla appeared, having come directly from the Symons residence after confirming the deaths of Marcus and the Symons matriarch.
She informed Vicente and Rory, "The Symons family is finished. Your allies and their assassins have killed all family members, subordinates, and guards. No one was spared!"
