Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 263 Thatʼs Not Good Enough

After reuniting with several of his men, including old and new family members, Vicente quickly gave the resources to Rory to distribute among the most suitable ones.

While seeing his friend after days, Vicente heard from Rory. ”Donʼt worry about these new problems. Weʼll deal with whatever it is. Sooner or later, weʼll fulfill your promise to the representatives of the Seidel Magical College, and weʼll also deal with the Jasmine problem.”

”I know. Thanks for the words anyway.” Vicente stated as he walked next to Rory to the detention of his property.

”And Nina? Have you seen her?” Rory asked about the young girl, the subject that probably worried Vicente the most, even considering everything that was going on.

”Sheʼs fine. As for the problem with Marcus Symons, Iʼll deal with that when the time comes. For now, letʼs continue with our old plans.” He voiced with an expression that was hard to read.

Vicente had talked to Eve, some of his men, Shelby, and even Nova about everything that had happened. He was furious with Marcus but knew he couldnʼt deal with the young master Symons in the short term.

If he made a mistake, heʼd be in trouble with the whole kingdom!

Since he was weak and had little influence in the meantime, he intended to leave Marcus alone in the short term to deal with the problems concerning the strength of his group and Jasmine.

But sooner or later, he would have to deal with the Symons family. This family would either lead to his destruction or be destroyed by him!

”What are you going to do now?”

He replied to Rory before opening a door that led up the stairs to where Jasmine was. ”Iʼm going to take care of some problems and go to The Rocky Gorge. If Iʼm lucky, I might be able to get some valuable items from the nest of the 3rd stage basilisk.”

”Are you sure about that?” Rory looked at Vicente worriedly. ”Just because we got away from that wounded and exhausted woodpecker doesnʼt mean...”

”I know. But I donʼt have many options. If I can at least get something from that creatureʼs nest, I can publicly justify using more of the resources stolen from the Irwin estate.

Besides, we have to take advantage of every opportunity. Dealing with the problem of Jasmine and the representatives of the Seidel Magic College wonʼt be easy.”

”Do you want me to go with you?”

”No, Iʼll go alone. I want you to take care of the expansion of the family in Millfall. With the funds Iʼve given you, weʼll be able to make some improvements and increase the number of our men.”

Rory nodded and asked. ”Will we follow the exchange of people with your partners and also with our men in Martell Village?”

”Yes.”

”All right. Iʼll make the changes as soon as I can.”

After Rory said these words, they arrived in front of the cell where Jasmine was, both of them with masks on their faces.

Seeing Vicente next to Rory, Jasmine didnʼt need to feel his level to know that this was Cesar, the man she had traveled with for weeks.

”Cesar Mazzanti, I thought youʼd left me.” She teased him.

”How could I? You and I have a lot of history together, miss.” Vicente laughed before becoming more serious as he looked at Rory. ”Have you collected her story?”

”Yes. Now, Iʼll need a few days to verify it. But Iʼll have what you need in a week at the most.” Rory said while Jasmine watched him without much concern.

With her special ability, her position in the Awakening Temple, where she worked, was not low. Even though she was only an Acolyte, Jasmineʼs future prospects were not small.

She could become someone very important in the future, so she was already highly valued, even though she was only a young level 5 Acolyte.

That was what gave her the confidence to be of value to Cesar and thus not be killed by him in the short term.

”You will discover how good or bad it is to be related to me.” She said in a humorous tone when she saw that they were being careful, a good sign for her.

Their caution meant that they would make the best possible choice, which, in her opinion, would prevent a foolish act that would lead to her death.

The most important thing for her at the moment was not to get revenge for falling into Cesarʼs hands but to survive the dangerous and talented leader of the Mazzanti family. As for Mark and Layla, she hoped they wouldnʼt screw everything up. But at the end of the day, her life was the most important thing to her!

”Good or bad?” Rory looked at her.

”If your leader makes a deal with me, we can grow a lot together. That will be good, of course. But if he chooses to deal with me in a different way, sooner or later, you will be faced with despair.” She said flatly.

”Youʼre really brave,” Vicente commented. ”Do you think Iʼll just make a deal with someone who tried to kill and rob me?”

”If youʼre smart, Iʼm sure you will.”

Vicente laughed under his mask. ”What exactly are you offering me, Jasmine? Weʼve been talking for days, but youʼve always been vague. Just showing me how bad it can be to kill you wonʼt be enough to change your situation. I need more.”

”Besides influence in a superior organization, youʼll have inside information. We in the Congregation of Revelations know everything before anyone else. That alone should be enough for you.” She said something she had already told Vicente.

Vicente then said. ”I wanted to know what you people of the Congregation of Revelations really do. I doubt you are just an organization dedicated to developing magic in Polaris Realm. What can I really gain by having you on my side?”

Jasmine became more serious once she saw that Vicente was no fool who believed what the members of the Congregation of Revelations told their many believers.

”Accessing privileged information about my organization could be dangerous, Cesar. Iʼm not saying this to threaten you, but as a non-member, youʼre better off not knowing everything I could do to help you.”

”Thatʼs not good enough.” Vicente was firm. ”If you want to make a deal with me, you must show me your real value. Until then, forget about getting anything from me.”

As he said these words, he left her behind and went back to the upper level of his estate.

Rory followed him and asked. ”Donʼt you want to make a deal with her?”

”Of course I do,” Vicente replied when he was far away from Jasmine. ”But Iʼm going to make the best deal I can. Iʼll force her to guarantee things that are really important to us, not just what she wants to do.”

”Oh? Do you think she can do more?”

”Of course. Do you believe that the organization with a monopoly on Magic Gems and Awakening in Polaris Realm is as simple an institution as its members claim to be?” Vicente laughed sarcastically.
