Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

Chapter 460 Fear in the Scott Province (2)

"What?" An old High-level Mage stood up from his chair and shouted in astonishment as he listened to the entire speech of one of his trusted men.

Amidst Duke Scott's surprised expression, his second bodyguard, a level 9 General, had a stern expression on his face, unable to believe what had just been said.

He asked for confirmation. "Are you serious? Snow Claw, Diamond Don, Wells the Rogue, and Rober the Fang escaped from Long Bay Correctional Facility?"

"Wells the Rogue died during the escape after being surrounded by two Sovereigns from the army." The Low-level Mage who had brought the latest news about the escape from Long Bay Correctional Facility confirmed what he had just said. "But Snow Claw, Rober the Fang, and Diamond Don are missing. The army has lost track of them in the last few hours, so they'll likely manage to keep their freedom for the next few days."

Duke Scott, an old, white-haired, unshaven man, continued with his mouth open, feeling that this was too much. Only Snow Claw had been such a problem for the whole province decades ago when The Ruby Devils had planned his arrest.

But in his province, three notorious criminals from the kingdom were now on the loose!

"What is His Majesty doing now? Does he know what has happened? What is the position of the army?" He asked, wanting to know more before acting on his own.

The Duke of the Province had a lot of power. As someone who was hierarchically closest to the king, a Duke's financial and military power was immensely greater than that of his fellow nobles.

For example, a Duke didn't have the right to raise an army like any other citizen. However, he had the right to have a guard of up to 400 men to guarantee the sovereignty of the Duke's family over its territories and to provide reinforcements for the royal army in case of need.

As someone with 3 High-level Mages and more than 40 Mages under his control, Duke Scott had several options for dealing with a situation like the current one.

The subordinate replied. "There is still no official statement from His Majesty. However, the army is already moving to make it difficult for people to enter and leave the provinces' cities. They also recommend that noble families increase their vigilance in their respective territories."

"Very well, let's make it difficult for people to enter and leave my villages." The Duke decided to follow this course of action. "We will also place guards on the busiest roads in the province. Any suspicion should be reported to me and the royal army."

"Yes, Your Grace."

"In the meantime, contact our allies. Let's see who's most sensitive at the moment. I know Jonah has many enemies in the province. He will likely put himself in danger to get personal justice."

...

Meanwhile, in Millfall...

Virtually all local nobles were already aware of the situation at Long Bay Correctional Facility.

With the army recommending that the noble families take action to make the situation more difficult for the fugitives, the latest news quickly spread throughout the province.

That was the case for the Staples family, especially Shelby, who had just heard from her father about the major security breach at the provincial prison.

After talking to her father and returning to her room, Shelby couldn't help but laugh out loud, almost as if she had suddenly gone mad.

Molly watched in silence as her little lady rolled around laughing on a bed, showing a genuine smile that few had ever had the chance to see.

"Hahaha, I can hardly believe this is really happening, Molly! We've finally reached the main point of our plans!" She said as she felt the greatest joy.

She was a virgin, but at this moment, she felt as good as a woman who had just realized most of her fantasies and achieved primal pleasure.

But that was only natural for her to feel. After years of rage and planning, she had achieved the position she had dreamed of since the loss of her mother.

Considering how difficult it had been to get everything she needed, the latest news was as good as an average person finding out they'd won the lottery!

Vicente had made his moves, and now Snow Claw was free to disrupt the lives of the most influential people in the province!

Molly smiled subtly and asked. "What now, miss? We're at the part of your plans where you have to take a step with no chance of turning back."

Shelby heard this and changed her expression, becoming much less beautiful while looking like a crazy, power-hungry woman.

She looked at her spatial ring and thought to herself. 'Ah, the time is coming, my dear family...'

As she thought this, the Mazzanti family firearms, the most modern version that existed, were there in her spatial ring.

Then she looked at Molly. "We will move in three nights. Have our men create some distractions. By the way, set up a dinner with Nina at the Fuller residence. We'll use that dinner as an alibi while everything happens."

Molly sighed when she heard this and saw that her young miss was not going back on such dangerous plans. But she would go all the way with Shelby, even if it meant her death or imprisonment.

As someone who owed her life and current situation to Shelby, Molly was willing to do anything for her, even cruel and inhuman things!

"I'll do my best." 

...

While the rest of Millfall's most relevant powers talked it over, some adjusting their plans to the new local reality, two days passed.

Vicente was still on his way to this city while the other fugitives continued their journeys without getting involved in any problems that could draw the attention of the relevant forces in the province.

In the midst of all this, Sarah had already come a long way, having managed to escape with Nico after following several of Eve's father's plans.

Now, the two were only two days away from Millfall, both traveling without fear of the forces that hunted the escapees from Long Bay Correctional Facility.

Nico was looking forward to seeing his daughter again, while Sarah was already thinking about what to do after leaving Nico with the Mazzanti family.

Too much had happened, and now she had nowhere to go. She had also been seen by Sovereign Adams, so she had to be careful.

'I think I'll stay in this city for a while...' She thought, imagining it wouldn't be so bad to be around Cesar for a while.

'As dangerous as he was, he can be very pleasant...'
