Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 332 Attempted Murder

Meanwhile, at the Symons estate...

Marcus was currently confined to his room, where he had been placed under house arrest by his father.

But even confined to his home, the young master Symons knew everything happening in Millfall.

Not long after his father left with a group of family guards alongside Commander Hogan and army soldiers, servants from the estate informed Marcus that something strange was happening.

Moments after the attack on the Mazzanti family had begun, someone who had followed the Viscountʼs party to observe what was happening had already run back to the Symons estate.

Now, that person was standing in front of Marcus, talking about the confrontation that had just begun with the Mazzanti family.

”So thatʼs whatʼs going on...” Marcus laughed as he finished hearing from his servant about the fight over the herb.

He had matters to settle with Cesar and the Mazzanti family, so his fatherʼs move against those people today was good news for him!

Not only that but if his father obtained such an herb, the Viscount would be able to reach the middle level of the 3rd stage, which would greatly increase his strength and status in the kingdom.

It must be said that oneʼs magic realm did not determine oneʼs social position within the nobility of this society. In other words, the magic stage wasnʼt everything. One had to have influence, good contacts, a reputation, and much more to achieve a high position within the kingdom.

There were Sovereigns in this state who werenʼt even nobles. On the other hand, some Mages were Dukes in the Seidel Kingdom!

The Duke of Scott Province was a High-level Mage, while there were some Marquises and Counts within the kingdom at the Sovereign magic realm.

But even if the magic realm wasnʼt everything, it was certainly important if one wanted to increase oneʼs position within the nobility.

For an heir like Marcus, there was nothing better than the increase in his fatherʼs influence that would come with a possible rise in class!

If this young manʼs father could become a Count before he died, Marcus would inherit a much better position. Not only that, but while his inheritance might get ”fatter” as his father grew up, he could also benefit during his old manʼs lifetime with more resources and opportunities for advancement.

Even if his father didnʼt become a Count, an advancement could give him access to more resources and enable Marcus to do so when he was the one to take over the Symons family.

Thinking about it, Marcus couldnʼt help but smile.

”Very well. Keep an eye on the situation for me.” He told his servant before closing his eyes and returning to his meditation.

”Yes, young master!”

When this servant left the training area of Marcusʼ residence, where the young man had been meditating in pursuit of his advancement, the young master Symons didnʼt keep his eyes closed for long.

Marcus opened his eyes when he felt a strange sensation similar to that of being watched.

ʼThis bad feeling...ʼ He drew his weapon as he stood up and looked around.

”As expected from the young genius of the Symons family. You noticed me even after all my measures of concealment.” A voice distorted by mana reached Marcusʼ ears, and he realized someone was watching him.

”Bold! Do you think you can infiltrate the Symons family like that? Assassin, your head will be displayed at the city gate tonight!” Marcus threatened as he circulated his mana in his Magic Gem.

Unfortunately for Marcus, he hadnʼt inherited the power from his father but from his mother. Otherwise, no one at 2nd stage would ever be able to threaten him.

The man in the shadows of Marcusʼ training area knew this very well, which is why he dared to attack.

”Weʼll see whose head will show up where!” The voice said before the man moved towards Marcusʼ neck.

”Tsk! Level 5? Do your contractors despise me that much? You could have at least sent a Low-level Mage!” Marcus said as he sensed the enemyʼs level.

He was about to reach level 5, but with a talent well above average for the region, he was confident in fighting those with a level higher than his level!

The assassin saw Marcus move to defend himself. Still, he didnʼt change his plans, willing to try to eliminate his target while the strongest of the Symons family were busy with the Mazzanti family.

ʼThat may be my last chance to eliminate him in the time Iʼve been given!ʼ

 ...

Meanwhile, outside the Symons family building...

Two women dressed in black hoods that covered most of their bodies stood on a street corner near the mansion of the cityʼs most important family.

The two women stood in the shadows of one of the less busy streets in this wealthy part of the city, looking toward that family.

”I hope he succeeds in his mission. If not, our last chance will be after the auction, on the eve of the wedding, my lady.” One of the two commented to the woman with the better-developed body, whose baggy clothes couldnʼt completely hide her figure.

The other woman, slightly shorter than her companion, clenched her fists as she stared steadily at the Symons estate. ”Hmm. Iʼd rather he died today, but it wonʼt be a problem if he lives a little longer. With the Viscountʼs actions today, I doubt Vicente will let what happened go unanswered.

Now more than ever he will move against the Viscount after the auction in the next few days!” Shelby commented with a serious look, preferring Marcus to fall now but not so desperately wishing for the end of her ʼdearʼ fiancé.

After discovering the situation surrounding the Mazzanti family, she didnʼt go there to help her allyʼs group. Instead, she had sent a message to an assassin she had previously hired to deal with Marcus.

Until now, that man had found it difficult to act because Marcus was almost always at the Symons estate.

Luckily, the 3rd-stage weed problem had opened up an opportunity for them today, so she and Molly were there now, waiting to see the outcome of their assassination attempt.

But today would not be the day for these two women to celebrate Marcusʼ demise. Within minutes of their assassin entering that property, the Symons family would be on alert, and the man would flee injured. At the same time, Marcus would appear outside his house in a rage, beginning a chase!

”Shit! Letʼs go back!” Shelby said to Molly before they immediately left the area.
