Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 18: Desire for Revenge?

After a few days in the previous city, Vicente and Lauren had finally awakened from their states.

Lauren was the first to wake up and the most affected.

Finding out that she would no longer see from that day on, she had locked herself in the bedroom of the house her father had gotten in this town. She barely ate the meals her father served, always very sad.

Even sleeping at night was not easy for her. Amid her nightmares, she would wake up in the hopeless darkness of her current life, something challenging to get used to.

She had already heard from her father that her mother and the baby in Kateʼs belly were no longer among them, so she suffered twice as much.

Previously she was so sad at having to become engaged to a man she didnʼt like, but now she couldnʼt help but realize how foolish she was.

She didnʼt have any problems before. Her life could be considered perfect, but still, she had complained to her parents so many times...

Now all she wanted was to have that problem!

If only she could trade her lost sight, bring her mother and brother back, for the cost of a marriage...

She wouldnʼt even care if she had to marry a disgusting old man!

But her reality was cruel, and her thoughts would not change a thing. Now she was blind, no longer had a mother, and would possibly leave her previous favorable position and stay single even if she didnʼt want to.

But while she was living her depressing situation, Vicente had woken up this morning!

Upon awakening, he had not fully recovered his hearing, but he had understood perfectly when his father told him about his mother, Nina, and Lauren.

He had seen when a piece of bone had crushed his mother, but he still listened with tears in his eyes to his old manʼs words.

In the previous days, he had been constantly having nightmares about his motherʼs death, and when he woke up, he couldnʼt help but pray to the heavens that it was just a bad dream.

But hearing everything from Andrew, any hope in Vicenteʼs heart was shattered!

...

After his father finished telling him what had happened, as well as the situation of his sisters and where they were, Vicente found himself alone in the room he was in.

He walked with difficulty to the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the cold water run over his body while his tears continued to run from his eyes.

All he could think of was the sweet and gentle Kate in his mind, remembering his last days at his motherʼs side.

But at the thought that he would never see her again and couldnʼt even say goodbye to her properly, he felt a much worse emptiness, with an indescribable lump in his throat.

He wanted to scream and make this whole world feel the pain he was now enduring, but he couldnʼt.

Or rather, he didnʼt have the ability to do that.

Not even having his abilities awakened, Vicente was not much more than an insect compared to the level he needed to reach to affect this reality.

He knew this, and it made him feel twice as bad.

Unfortunately, he was powerless...

”Shit! Shit! Shit!” He felt a sudden surge of anger and punched the wall before him, ignoring the pain in his fists.

”Damn you, Dax, Malik!” He shouted, remembering the names he had heard during that battle. ”One day! One day I will find you, no matter what it costs or how long it takes!

I wonʼt stop until I return to you what happened to my mother!” He continued punching the wall in front of him until the wounds in his fists opened up, and blood flowed out.

When he saw dark red drops dripping from his hands, Vicente stopped and looked at them, feeling a unique sensation in his body.

Without realizing it, he swore to his own blood to avenge his motherʼs murder!

”Either I will avenge myself, or I will die tempted!”

After these words full of conviction, Vice finished taking his shower and quickly dressed, curling his fingers to hide what he had just done.

Leaving his room, he went directly to the room where his father had told him Lauren was.

He knew that his sister Lauren had suffered more than him and entered without knocking on the door.

”Lauren, itʼs me, Vice.” He said as he got close to the bed where his sister was cuddled in a pillow.

”Vice? Are you awake?” She asked as she looked up in a different direction from where Vicente was.

Seeing how his sister had not yet gotten used to recognizing the position of people by sound, Vicente felt once again a wave of anger in his heart.

”Iʼm sorry, big sister.” He said with difficulty. ”I know I am weak now, but I promise you. One day I will avenge our mother.”

Lauren didnʼt believe that her brother would one day be able to avenge his mother or even what had happened to her and Nina. But she knew her brother well and knew he wasnʼt kidding.

Tears flowed down her face again as she said. ”Vicente, donʼt worry about it. Iʼll miss mother, but thatʼs life. Thereʼs nothing we can do. Those people were Sovereigns.”

”Even if they were Paragons or Archmages, it doesnʼt matter. I will do everything possible and impossible to get at them!” He said with conviction. ”Just believe in me, sister. One day I will bring peace to Mother!”

Lauren felt a tightening in her heart but said nothing. She knew Vicente. Once he decided to do something, nothing could stop him from continuing with his plans.

ʼVicente...ʼ Amidst the despair of the darkness, Lauren felt her heart beating harder, feeling the terrible fate of her family.

...

A few more days passed as the Fuller family group continued on in that town.

During this time, Vicente and Lauren had continued their treatment with Doctor Marcus, while Nina had finally awakened after the complicated procedure she had undergone.

From what Doctor Marcus had told Andrew, her case was delicate, and he was to accompany his youngest daughter to the doctors every month for the next six months.

For the moment, she did not seem to have any sequelae other than deafness. But the marks of the operation she had had to undergo could appear at any time.

If she showed any worrying signs, he should look for better-ranked doctors, if possible Mages!

Due to the absence of magicians of that classification in most of Scott Province, as soon as Nina had awakened the day before, Andrew had decided to leave for Saltstar City.

Previously they were going there on business. But he no longer knew if he still wanted to do that. Maybe staying in this town and trying to care for his children was the best thing for him.

But upon finding out about Ninaʼs need, he turned back and decided to leave the night before with his family for his old destination.

So at the present moment, Andrew and his family were on the road, once again venturing out as they traveled to the largest city in the province.

This time the interior of their carriage was much quieter, with each person dealing with their losses in their way.

This trip would not last that long, and in another three weeks, they would finally reach the largest city in the province, where their near future lay!
