Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 930  The Hunt Begins!

The four vampires couldnʼt help but agree with Demien, even though they werenʼt so keen on the idea of slowing down their cultivation speed. Not only were humans a valuable resource for them, but human blood was like the best meal for vampires.

While they were discussing this and observing the surroundings of this poor area in terms of natural mana density, so poor that they could hardly believe it had produced a monster like Vicente, a 5th stage vampire approached them.

”Elders,” the newly arrived individual greeted them. ”Supreme Leader, I bring news of Vicente Fuller. He was sighted flying to the Chutha Dynasty hours ago. We believe he is on his way to the capital, where his older sister, Lauren Fuller, currently resides.”

”Oh?” Demienʼs expression changed as his four companions prepared to leave.

The vampires knew Lauren was the queen of the Chutha Dynasty, as well as Vicente Fullerʼs sister. Why hadnʼt they moved against her directly?

The answer lay in Laurenʼs background. As the last surviving member of the Nixlas Shadows, vampires or monsters commanded by vampires couldnʼt hunt her. Unless she acted directly against them, they could not act against her.

Under the terms of their contract with the leaders of Nixlas Shadows, acting against them was not acting against one vampire or another, but acting directly against them. According to the rules of the pact she had signed with her old sect, only beings who had been unjustly attacked could counterattack. If only a subordinate were attacked, Demien and the others could not retaliate.

It was only when they found out about Lauren and what she was doing that they realized the mistake they had made in their deal with Nixlas Shadows. But now it was too late, and unless Lauren acted against them, they couldnʼt target her.

They had tried, and an Archmage had nearly died after being severely injured while unleashing the wrath of the heavens.

But that didnʼt mean they couldnʼt watch Lauren!

”Our observers are already aware of this recent news and are on the lookout for Lauren Fuller. If Vicente Fuller gets close to her and leaves the dynasty capital, weʼll have a group follow her immediately.” The 5th stage vampire warned.

”Perfect. Letʼs go to the dynastic capital.” Demien turned his back on that metal city.

”What about the news that the rest of his family is in the Seidel Kingdom?” One of the four Archmages asked.

”Weʼll assign a team of 5th stage vampires to monitor that area. However, our main objective is to eliminate Vicente Fuller. His family can wait for now,” Demien said, taking off and soaring towards the north.

The four 6th stage vampires understood their leaderʼs decision and followed him, leaving the 5th stage vampire behind, who already knew what he had to do.

...

Two more days passed while Demienʼs group traveled north.

Meanwhile, Vicente, already imagining that his enemies were on his tail, picked up his pace and arrived in the capital of the Chutha Dynasty that afternoon.

He did not hide his entry into the local royal palace, but he did not act ostentatiously either. As he entered the palace in the center of the city, he soon found himself in front of his older sister.

”Is it time?” She opened her eyes as she felt Vicenteʼs aura. A second later, she saw her brother enter the cultivation room where she was waiting for him.

”Yes, we must take the battle as far north as possible. This will help keep the consequences of the battle away from our people, but also keep any potentially wounded vampires from escaping too close to our family,” Vicente said as he looked into Laurenʼs eyes, determined to help her grow stronger.

She stood up, stopping in front of Vicente as she looked at him, feeling quite confused, saddened by the closeness of his departure, but also happy to see him acting as the familyʼs leader and protecting them from the evils of the world.

”All right. Letʼs head north. How long do you think weʼll have before Demien finds us?” She asked after a moment of silence, obviously nervous.

”Iʼm not sure. But it shouldnʼt be over a week. At the level Demien is at, he can fly swift and regain his strength at a frightening speed. Just keep in mind that he could catch up to us at any moment.”

”Okay. Then you should lead the way.”

They left the royal palaceʼs cultivation room together, passing several men loyal to Lauren who were already preparing for her imminent departure.

Lauren said little to her men. After exchanging a few words with some of her most trusted soldiers on the way out of the palace, she flew north with Vicente.

Simultaneously with their departure, the vampires watching the city were already following them, watching from a safe distance, close enough to the siblings to understand what they were doing.

”This is strange... As far as I know, Vicente Fuller has excellent methods of movement that leave no trace. Why is he flying in plain sight?” One observer asked.

One of the other three 5th stage vampires said, ”Heʼs luring our leaders out of his territory.”

”Why donʼt we stop him?”

”We donʼt know exactly where his family is to take them hostage. So if heʼs going to risk himself to protect his own family, itʼs worth risking ourselves. The most important thing is to eliminate him, but with the Supreme Leader after him, itʼs only a matter of time before that happens!”

This group continued their work, with someone sending warnings to their leader about their suspicions about Vicenteʼs behavior.

...

Two more days passed, and now Demien was flying over the capital of the Chutha Dynasty, having already heard his subordinatesʼ theory about his targetʼs strange behavior.

He agreed with his men. To him, Vicente was indeed trying to lure them away from the Fuller family. But as 6th stage vampires, they saw no problem in going to the place where the human wanted their confrontation to take place.

Was there a trap in the place Vicente was going? Possibly, but few things in this world would work against them other than a power stronger than their own. But did Vicente have something like that with him?

They couldnʼt be sure, but they considered it unlikely. Either way, in three days, it would be the decisive moment for both sides in this hunt. In three days, they would finally meet face to face!
