Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 360 The Harsh Reality of Dark Path Magicians

After talking for some time, Nova’s siblings found out that Vicente was a merchant who sold food and was also a blacksmith.

They also found out that he and Nina had a sister who no longer lived with them and that their parents had died.

Vicente and Nova hadn’t gone into detail about these sensitive topics. They had only said the minimum to help the two understand who Vice was.

On the other hand, Vicente learned a little more about the Bain family of Dryhaven, which was a fishing house in the city.

The situation of the Bain family was better than Nova made it seem. They were no ordinary fishermen but a family that had been running a fishing business for more than 300 years. Currently, they have 15 fishing vessels and more than 200 workers.

Nova’s family was not as simple as it seemed to Vicente after his first conversations with her!

But Nova had never lied. She had just been discreet, not going into details nor trying to appear otherwise because of her family’s situation.

But from what Vice had understood, the Bain family was successful enough to have sent these two to Millfall to participate in the upcoming auction.

“So you’re here for the auction?” Vice asked after a few minutes of conversation.

“Yes, we’ve heard rumors about a resource that will be auctioned off at the event. According to my father’s contacts, a 3rd-stage Colored Tuna Brain will be among the items to be auctioned.” Myra explained to Vicente. “If that’s the case, we’ll try to acquire it.

“We can use the Colored Tuna Brain as bait to catch various high-value fish. That could bring us a great return in a short period. That’s why we’re here to bid high at this auction.”

“A part of a 3rd-stage being? That’s going to be hard to get and hard to keep.” Vicente commented as he looked at Nova.

“Don’t worry, Vice, even though my father is only a level 5 Acolyte, he has influence with the Mages. Two of them are in town to accompany Max and Myra, so their safety won’t be a problem.” She told him not to worry.

“That’s good, but still, be careful. I hear there will be some Mid-level Mages at this auction. If any of them bid on this brain, think carefully if it’s what you want and if it’s worth it.” He advised. “I hear there are even Dark Path magicians in town right now.”

Hearing this, Myra remembered the person she had seen earlier. “Are you talking about that woman? She really looks terrible. Her aura was terrifying.”

“Hmm, Dark Path magicians are really strange. I must admit that I felt disgust and fear when I saw that person.” Max commented, laughing awkwardly as Eve and Nina listened to the conversation.

Vicente laughed at Nova’s brother’s comment. “It’s true, they really are strange.”

Nova was more serious, as she had already heard about such a person from her siblings. Then she said. “Don’t worry about this person. As powerful as she is, she’s not here to cause trouble.”

“Oh? Do you know anything?” Vicente asked.

“Hmm, I got a message from the army that she was coming here. We keep track of all Dark Path magicians who reach the 3rd stage. Anyway, this person is looking for resources that are compatible with Dark Path magicians. As long as no one here competes for such things, there won’t be any problems.” She said confidently.

‘Tsk! That’s the reality of beings like us, master.’ Torne commented to Vicente. ‘Your girlfriend’s group and several others on this continent watch over people like us as if we were crazy animals. Our slightest mistake is enough for them to give us bad looks and want our heads.’

Vicente said nothing; he understood both Torne’s and Nova’s sides of the story.

He would also keep an eye on people with negative powers if he were on the other side!

But as someone who had a strong negative element, he also understood Torne’s anger. Being constantly watched, as if you were guilty of something without doing anything, was hard to keep quiet about.

Max had just made a comment about this woman, but his words had been somewhat expected. And most of the time, people thought much worse things about people like that woman!

“I see.” He murmured after Nova’s words. “Fortunately, no one here needs such resources, so she probably won’t be a problem.”

…

After more than an hour and a half together at the Fuller estate, Nova walked with Vicente to the house’s door so they could say goodbye to Myra and Max.

“Aren’t you coming with us, sister?” Max asked as he looked at Nova standing behind the door next to Vicente.

Nova closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, a little embarrassed by the situation. “I have to take care of some things with Vice. You should go back to my place alone. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

Max didn’t understand what was on Nova’s mind, but Myra had a pretty good idea of what it was.

She smiled awkwardly, seeing that her younger sister wasn’t as pure as she used to be. “See you then. We’ll talk later, Nova.” She said as she took one of Max’s arms and led him away.

Nova blushed a little but stayed by Vicente’s side and watched them go.

“Nova, your family has great genetics. I didn’t think you’d be so much alike.” Vice commented as he watched Myra’s hair as she walked away. “Your brother is a little different from you, but his and your sister’s eyes are identical. It’s terrifying how similar you are in some features.”

Nova wasn’t irritated by Vicente’s comment since she and Myra had the eyes and hair of their mother, who looked very much like them.

“Wait till you meet my mother. Anyone who didn’t know us and sees us together would think we were all sisters.” She smiled as she took Vicente’s arm and led him inside.

…

That night and the next day would pass until the eve of the auction arrived, and Millfall would be packed with visitors waiting for the next evening’s event. .𝘤𝘰

Vicente and Nova would meet up with Myra and Max again on the last day before the auction since she would be working with the auction security, which was the responsibility of the royal army.

But after another pleasant evening, the big day, awaited by many local and foreign powers, would finally arrive.

It was finally the day of the royal family’s great auction in Millfall!
