Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

Chapter 66 Betrayal?

Upon encountering this sudden change of situation, Eve was silent momentarily but quickly moved away from the two men who had been pressing her moments ago.

She looked at those much stronger men than her, Intermediate Apprentice, moments ago so confident but now sweating in fear of death.

'Bastards!' She thought, but given Vice's questions and the incredible power he was demonstrating, she quickly went to his side and explained.

"Vicente, these people showed up this morning in the village, and sometime after Nina left for the academy, they knocked on our door.

They carried our weapons and demanded information about you and how to make our guns. I don't know who they got these weapons from, but I think that if one of our group of merchants wasn't killed by them, then there is a traitor in our group."

Vicente's eyes narrowed at those words.

"I hope that is not the case. Treason is punishable by death in our family." He reminded his people in the surroundings, where those who had accompanied him and Rory had already entered that house and were aiming their weapons at the three strangers under Vice's aim.

He looked at his men and ordered. "Go to the Academy of Stars and secure Nina's situation. I'll pick her up later."

"Yes, boss!"

"So... So you're the person behind those weapons?" The young blond man with a shotgun pointed at his head asked in a low voice as he heard Vicente's dialog with those people.

Vicente ignored him and asked Eve. "Who are these? I don't know them."

Eve responded. "I only know what they told me minutes ago. From the words of those two, this blond man must be the son of a Baron."

"Baron?" Rory narrowed his eyes, for that would only make everything more complicated.

"That's right. I am Baron Irwin's third son!" The young blond said confidently, feeling he could get away with threatening these people. "Put down your gun immediately, Vicente! If you don't want trouble with a nobleman, hand over the secret of these weapons to me and kneel.

I will consider forgiving your insolence!"

Eve and Rory looked at Vicente in silence, knowing this was a bad way to talk to someone like him. Still, the young descendant of the local nobility had his advantages.

Threatening a noble was a crime throughout the kingdom, something that carried the punishment of magical crippling.

Magical crippling was nothing more than the destruction of the Magical Gem, which led to the loss of one's magical powers.

But Vicente was a criminal who saw no problem going against the laws!

"You have a lot of confidence for a third son. You're not even a noble, but you act like it..." Vicente commented in a deep tone while remaining still. "You won't keep your mouth shut if I let you go. You'll bring me endless trouble as long as you breathe."

Bang!

The shotgun moved, and a glow came from its barrel. In a single instant, it fired a bullet loaded with mana, which went through the head of this descendant of the local nobility.

The two subordinates of Baron Irwin's third son trembled uncontrollably at the sight, not believing Vicente's audacity and coolness in killing someone so calmly.

As the body of that young blond man was falling on the floor, metal sheets flew from Vicente's body, in a single instant covering that now lifeless body, forming a metallic urn.

Eve looked at Vicente with wide eyes, not expecting him to be so decisive.

"That... That was rash! He was the son of a nobleman!" She exclaimed.

Rory closed his eyes and sighed but said nothing.

Vicente explained. "Better dead than alive.

And there is not so much difference between threatening and killing a nobleman's son. Dead, at least he can't talk about us."

"What do you have in mind?" Rory asked, feeling there was no point in questioning what had happened since there was no turning back now.

Vicente pressed the heads of the men under his aim with his two guns a little harder and said. "Speak what you know, or you will suffer the same fate as that fool.

And don't threaten me. I really don't like that."

Gulp!

One of them then opened his mouth. "Senior, don't do that! I'll say anything you want. Just don't kill me!"

"Tell me where you got these weapons from. Was it from one of my men? A traitor?"

"We found those weapons 2 days ago, near the village, senior. On that occasion, we were traveling to Millfall when we came across a group recently attacked by something.

This group had a few men, some of whom had died in combat. But there were 2 men armed with these weapons.

The young master took an interest in these weapons, and we approached them, attacking them without giving them a chance to defend themselves."

After doing so, they quickly found out where those people were from because of the identity of the merchant who was in that group.

They collected the weapons and went to the village to find out who was behind these weapons and get the method of producing them.

With something like this, their young master could deal with his older brothers and eventually become Baron Irwin!

Even becoming a Viscount would not be out of his reach if he was lucky!

Unfortunately for him, who was in the middle of his path was Vicente...

Vice briefly heard the story and strangely felt like that man was telling him the truth.

He looked at the other man and asked. "Does anyone else in the Irwin family know about these weapons?"

"No! The young master wanted to use it as a secret weapon against his brothers!"

"Good!"

Bang!

Bang!

Two more shots came from those guns, killing the two remaining men.

Vicente looked at Rory and finally answered his friend's question. "The Irwin family wasn't exactly who we were going to attack first in Millfall, but since they might eventually turn against us, we'll act against them first."

The Irwin family was one of the noble houses near this village, which was based in Millfall.

This family had come to the attention of Vicente and Rory before they moved to Millfall, as they both knew about the names of the main noble families in the area.

In Vicente's case, he had first heard about this family through Andrew.

"The Irwin family?" Rory muttered, knowing that this family was not like their previous targets, who were involved in a range of problems that would make them stand alone when they attacked them.

But Vicente had no choice. "Whether we attack the Irwin family or not, they have the potential to become an enemy. In that case, before we make enemies in Millfall, we can simply focus our actions against this house."

Damage control was what Vicente had in mind.

Rory and Eve understood that point, and she asked. "What about those bodies? Killing them in our house can quickly create problems for us."

"But what if they didn't disappear here?" Vicente smiled, thinking of something to solve this situation he had created.
