Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 45: Towards Millfall!

After Vicente dealt with the merchants of the Martell Village, a few weeks passed.

Vicente and Rory won new deals in this short period, finally gaining the business they needed to complete their rule over the Martell Village.

Their goal was not to use the village as headquarters for their group, but gaining control of this area was important to them. Besides being a test of what they would do on a larger scale in the future, it had also been a good experience for them to understand how people related to nobles and royalty would behave towards them.

No important people were in the village, but the Duke's men were there to enforce the law.

Vicente had understood that this place he was in was very flexible. He could be ambitious, act openly against his competitors, and even use violence to a certain extent.

As long as he didn't aim for big business and didn't try to change the rules or the status of everyone involved in this society, there was plenty of room for them.

Using coins to win 'friends' made things even easier than on good old Earth. Bribery was an answer that should not be ignored!

As time passed, it was finally time for this social 'experiment' of Vicente and Rory's to come to an end!

Just a few weeks before their 14th birthday, it was finally time for them to leave for Millfall.

Millfall was a nearby city of 60,000 inhabitants. There they could awaken their magical powers and finally develop their business further.

With a difference of only a few weeks between their birthdays, Vicente and Rory had little left to hold them back in the village!

...

"Nina, I will leave tonight for Millfall," Vice said to his little sister, lying beside her on a large couch in the living room.

Seeing the signs of her brother, Nina felt her eyes getting watery while her heart beat faster.

This girl had become accustomed to spending less and less time with Vicente, but this trip would be different from all the others. He would awaken his powers, just as Lauren had done years ago!

"But..." She murmured, looking at Vice as the beautiful Eve looked at the two of them and sighed.

"Don't worry, Nina. What happened to the older sister was rare and hard to repeat." Vicente signaled to his sister as he smiled confidently. "I don't know if I will have a talent like Lauren's or like our parents'. But regardless, I will do my Awakening in Millfall, not Saltstar City!"

Just as on Earth, the best professionals were usually found in large cities; The most powerful and talented were easier to find in the largest cities in Polaris Realm.

Consequently, Saltstar City and Millfall had experts of totally different levels!

Nina knew that the chances of a member of a powerful sect or clan being in Millfall watching the Awakening would be slim. However, she couldn't help but worry.

"Why do we have to awaken our powers in front of the public? Why can't we do that in secret? It would be amazing to do that in the middle of a forest!" She said, not liking that at all.

Eve smiled and explained. "Nina, in the past of Polaris Realm, most humans couldn't awaken their magical abilities. Why is that? Simple, the Magic Gems were scattered worldwide, and few could get the right conditions to stimulate one of them.

But with the followers of the Congregation of Revelations, everything changed. The faith of this religion brought people together, and the founding genius created the Awakening Temple after becoming an Archmage."

Congregation of Revelations was the most acclaimed religion in Polaris Realm, which was behind the Awakening Temples, which was around this continent.

Hundreds of millions of people followed the faith of this religion, and it determined good and evil in this society. contemporary romance

"They then gathered Magic Gems found all around the continent and found a way to stimulate them whenever they wanted. From then on, the magical development of the continent was possible. The number of magicians jumped, and only because of that ordinary people like us can awaken their powers and dream." Eve said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Not only was this religion the most widely followed, but it was also behind all the teaching material in states like this. From childhood, people were taught what the leaders of the Congregation of Revelations said was the truth.

Eve was one of the many devotees of this religion, as were most of the people in Martell Village.

Vicente heard this and said nothing. He had learned the same, but as someone from Earth, he didn't like religions very much.

He particularly had nothing against them and, in fact, thought that they had their means of helping people. But in the history of the Earth, how many wars have not happened because of wrong people using the power of faith?

Someone might say this was the people's fault, not the religion's. But that was wrong. Religion had so much power that it could hardly be stopped!

Sooner or later, someone wrong could use them, and from then on, one could only work to lessen the damage of an unscrupulous leader.

But he would not dare to speak against the Congregation of Revelations and was silent as he listened to Eve.

"But..." Nina muttered.

Vice sighed and said. "There's nothing to be done, Nina. We could try our luck, but there would be no guarantee of getting our Magic Gems one day. Unfortunately, we are not in the position to refuse the methods of the Awakening Temple."

Seeing tears streaming from Nina's little face, he wiped them away with his hands and communicated with her. "I want you to stay with Eve.

Your school year at Academy of Stars will be over soon, but until my Awakening, I want you to stick around.

But rest assured. I will come and get you so we can go live in Millfall before your next school year begins."

"You promise?" She asked him, looking at Vicente as she wiped away her tears.

"Hmm, I promise. In the meantime, I will register you at an academy in Millfall, so say goodbye to your friends and play a lot. We'll start a new part of our lives in a few months." He played with her hair after saying this.

Nina accepted such a thing more easily.

Even if she had to leave her friends in the village very soon, what mattered most to her was to be by her big brother's side!

After seeing Nina improving her mood, Eve looked at Vicente and said. "You must be careful. Millfall is not far away, nor does it have many dangerous people. Still, for ordinary people like us, every place has its dangers."

"I know," Vicente commented in a low voice. "Don't worry. I'll be back to get you and Nina faster than you think.

By all means, be cautious. Even with several of my men staying behind, you never know... Be prepared in case something happens."

"Hmm, I'll do my best." She nodded to him as she felt the revolver on one of her legs.

Eve had also joined the Fuller family in recent months after Vicente had concluded that she was reliable enough.

Anyway, after talking to them, time would pass quickly, and soon Vice would leave with Rory for Millfall.

The time was coming for both of them to awaken their magical powers!
