Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 568 Arrival at the Bone Mountain Headquarters?

Listening to Torneʼs plan, Vicente felt it could be worthwhile for him to go through with it, even though he hadnʼt prepared himself to do all his revenge in one trip.

He agreed with Torne and said to his two companions. ”Weʼll take care of the Bone Mountains and then go to the Kenyth Empire to deal with the Fallen Angels.”

”What?” Layla said as she stepped forward, aware that this hadnʼt been in their original plans. ”You didnʼt plan this before. Where did this come from?”

Casey remained silent as he watched Vicente answer such a question. ”Think about it: what will happen after we attack the Bone Mountains? Whether we like it or not, weʼre going to kill an elder of that sect and put them in a state of emergency.

Thereʼs no guarantee what will happen, but some of the strongest people in that sect will certainly move or even get hurt because of our actions. Who could benefit from our action?”

Casey didnʼt have detailed information about the powers in this area, but he wasnʼt stupid. ”The enemies of the Bone Mountains might decide to act because of our action. Thereʼs nothing better than attacking an enemy confused by a third partyʼs attack.”

”Thatʼs the point.” Vicente smiled as he pointed to Casey. ”Itʼs possible that the Fallen Angels will move as we flee. That could open up the possibility that I have to deal with Malik, an elder of that sect.

Weʼre already very close to that force, so it would be a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity. Thatʼs why I want to act and kill two birds with one stone!”

Layla narrowed her eyes when she heard that, aware that there was logic in Vicenteʼs words, but she was still a little annoyed.

”You didnʼt investigate anything about the Fallen Angels because you didnʼt prepare to deal with them before this trip. Do you, by any chance, intend to make your way to them without knowing anything about their powers?”

Vicente looked into the eyes of this woman he had already conquered and said. ”Who could have the best information about the Fallen Angels, Layla? Weʼll soon be at the seat of power in the Bone Mountains. Thereʼs nothing stopping me from buying information about the other sect and making my plan before we act against Dax of the Bone Mountains.”

”That makes sense,” Casey commented. ”It wonʼt be hard to buy that information about the Fallen Angels. And since you had already planned to investigate Dax when you arrived in the city weʼre going to, it wonʼt add much time to the preparation of our action.”

Vicente affirmatively nodded while Layla sighed, having nothing to say to get the group out of this unnecessary hurry.

Then she said. ”I hope that when we get to the Fallen Angels, you donʼt change your mind and decide to go after Lauren as well.”

Vicente bitterly laughed when he heard that. ”Going after Lauren will cost me much more than dealing with those forces. So donʼt worry. After I take care of Malik, weʼll split up to return to the Seidel Kingdom.”

”Weʼll split up?” Casey asked.

”The vampire chasing us is actually on my trail,” Vicente replied, justifying the groupʼs separation before he headed to where Torne wanted to take him. ”If we go straight back to the kingdom, heʼll get to Saltstar City faster than weʼd like.

So, Iʼll take the long way around to slow him down. In the meantime, it would be good if you returned to the group and reassured everyone in my family about my status.”

Casey already knew about all the changes that had taken place since he had left Millfall several months ago to go in search of his third pentagram. Vicente and Layla informed him of everything that had happened in those months, and he was aware of all the latest plans and actions of the Fuller family and their associates.

He and Layla understood Vicenteʼs plan and agreed to follow his orders when the time came.

With that decided, they set out once again to advance their goal in Chutha Dynasty.

The next few days would pass in the blink of an eye, and soon, they would enter the city where the Bone Mountains sect was located!

...

Upon entering Oldbarrow, Vicente, Layla, and Casey made their way on foot along the local sidewalks of this city of over 250,000 people on the border of the Chutha Dynasty and the Kenyth Empire.

This place was even stronger than the cities they had passed through on their way here, being a place where at least 100 Sovereigns lived locally.

Bone Mountains was not the only sect in Oldbarrow. There were two other local forces with Sovereigns in their ranks, though Daxʼs sect was the strongest nearby.

But besides the many Sovereigns living locally, the number of High-level Mages in the city was impressive. There were so many at the same level as Vicente and Layla that they couldnʼt even count them when they felt so many auras.

But they were used to the powerful cities of the Chutha Dynasty, so they didnʼt act surprised in Oldbarrow.

Upon arrival, they quickly headed to the cityʼs black market, a place they already knew where it was located from their investigations in other cities they had passed through.

What were they going to do at the local black market? Quite simply, to find someone who had information about the Fallen Angels and Dax of the Bone Mountains!

They wouldnʼt act until they had the information they needed, so the most urgent thing to do in this place was to go to the black market and find someone willing to sell them that information.

Soon, the group found themselves in a darker part of town, where things were done outside the law at almost any hour of the day.

They were already used to going to shady places and paying for information, so they would have no trouble reaching the people they needed to talk to to get to the person who would sell them some of the information they wanted.

The investigator from Saltstar City, whom Vicente had previously thought of hiring to gather information on Dax alone, had previously charged him 10,000 gold coins for that service alone. But in just three hours of running around Oldbarrow, Vicente found two people willing to sell him all the information he wanted for only 4,500 coins.

This information would take between 5 and 15 days to get into their hands, so after paying the first installment of the total amount agreed upon with these men, he and his companions would find a place to stay in Oldbarrow while they waited.

Casey was not far from reaching the peak of the 3rd stage with the resources Vice had given him, so this would also be an opportunity for the group to better prepare for the moment of their action against Bone Mountains!

And so it was that they arrived at Oldbarrow, the home of Bone Mountains and Dax, Vicenteʼs great enemy!
