Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1004 Group mission

After a quiet journey back to Ravengarde, Vicente and his group landed at the cityʼs airport.

For obvious reasons, Bert and Garin followed separately from Vicente, leaving him to follow alongside only Rex, while wearing sunglasses—Prisiche.

Back in the city, Vicente breathed in the air of the metropolisʼ modernity, back in a highly technological and populous place.

It was terrible to be there!

But with a long sigh, he headed back to Stonewallʼs headquarters, figuring that Larissa and the other members of {Golden Partners} had already returned from their previous mission. Previously, he had left because he couldnʼt join them and would have to go to Alicia sooner or later. But now that more than a month had passed, he was sure that he would be able to reunite with his companions.

And indeed, soon after identifying himself at the entrance to the headquarters, Vicente would run into his fellow faction members in the most common place for Outer Disciples.

The Missions Center!

As soon as he entered the building where disciples came to look for activities that would earn them resources, Vicente spotted the white-haired woman with whom he had a partnership.

Along with Larissa were Rill, Daren, Mabras and Alidove, sitting around one of the tables in the area where many other disciples sat to chat, sometimes pass the time and choose missions after thinking about the pros and cons.

The moment she saw the small animal on one of Vicenteʼs shoulders, Larissa didnʼt misunderstand the situation and promptly stood up from where she was.

”Vicente!” She exclaimed to him, obviously curious to know how he had acquired a beast with 5-Star Magus cultivation!

The others noticed the same, all of them having already reached the 7th stage to be able to easily identify Rexʼs cultivation.

Rex wasnʼt hiding his strength. In a place like this, it made sense to show power up to a certain limit. It would bring opportunities and ward off some minor problems. As for bigger problems, well, Vicente was ready and waiting for them.

”Youʼre back...” He said as he greeted everyone with a nod, while Prisiche took on her usual blonde woman form.

”I say the same to you... You went on a mission with your sponsor. I didnʼt expect you to return with such a powerful beast.” Daren, the feline woman with 1-Star Magus cultivation, said with a smile, shaking her facial hair.

Beasts from cultivators who were members of the sect could enter the headquarters without any problems. With Vicenteʼs mark on his body, Rex was seen by the sectʼs barriers as part of Viceʼs powers, in other words, as a member of the sect.

None of them were surprised by this fact, but they were interested in the story Vicente had to tell them.

He summed up what was most important and what he was willing to tell them before hearing from them about the journey the group had made, their achievements and awards. Upon hearing the plans they intended to engage in from now on, which included him, Vicente was satisfied and agreed to go ahead with most of what they had already planned.

For now, he didnʼt want to get involved in anything deep. He didnʼt want to risk performing rituals; he didnʼt have the resources to contract missions using the Dark Hands system, nor to contract an investigation into Nan and her group. His priority was to carry out missions, get resources and strengthen himself until he entered the middle of the 7th stage, when it would be time for him to hunt down his remaining pentagrams.

”How much time do you need to prepare?” Mabras, a tall, strong man, asked after hearing Vicente say that he would be going with them after settling some matters in the sect.

”Two to three days, no more than that,” Vicente said. ”I need to report on some things Iʼve seen and buy some materials. Weʼll leave as soon as I have everything ready.”

With that said, he arranged with Larissa to meet her later, before moving on with Rex and Prisiche to report on what he had seen during the trip.

Bert and Garin would do the same, since they were supposedly watching him to keep him out of trouble and they all had to report something similar to keep their stories going. But Vicente had already told those two to hide the fact that he had interacted with such individuals from outside the island. They were only supposed to report that they had spotted Nanʼs group.

Vicente wanted to get information from that group on his own, so he didnʼt intend to use this report to get something.

...

Three days after his return to the sect, Vicente had sorted out all the problems from his recent absence, spoken to his master, Collins, and visited the Centers where he had mandatory activities.

Fortunately, he had a lot of freedom these days, and after reporting what had happened and asking for another authorization to leave headquarters, he was ready to join his faction on the mission Larissa had chosen.

This was an out-of-town mission, so once again, he had a journey ahead of him.

At the start of this new day, he left his house together with Rex and Prisiche, meeting the white-haired woman, his street neighbor, before meeting up with the others.

”Are you sure you want to do three missions on one trip?” Larissa asked Vicente, just to be sure.

”Yes, Iʼd even do more, if it were possible... Anyway, I need resources to complete some of my plans. The next two years will be a lot of missions for me.” He said to her as he made his way to where Daren, Mabras and Alidove were already waiting for them.

On the way he saw Theo, with whom he had already spoken over the last few days and agreed important things for their relationship as allies. Fortunately, they were at the beginning of their business together and there was room for one group to stay away from the other without any problems.

So Vicenteʼs group set off on their journey of missions outside the headquarters!
