Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 206 Beginning of the Journey to the Alpine Woodpecker Forest

"Cesar..." Nova looked at the black-haired, silver-masked, well-dressed man as if he were just an ordinary shopkeeper, but she didn't see in him the figure that many who didn't know him could see when watching him in a situation like this.

This man's refinement wouldn't fool her. This was the man who had coldly killed several Acolytes when he was still an Apprentice.

This person had monstrous abilities, but he didn't need them to defeat those who were stronger. With a simple weapon and his calculating skills, he could kill half of such a group nearby in a matter of seconds!

"What are you doing, Cesar?" She asked him.

News of the Mazzanti family and their glorious leader spread daily through Millfall. But only his allies knew of his plans, especially his goal of traveling in search of pentagrams.

Noticing that this beautiful blue-haired woman didn't know where he was going, Vicente answered her. "I am going to hunt pentagrams. I've recently advanced a stage, and some of my men are in the same situation... Why? Will the Captain miss me?"

Nova ignored his comment as the men there watched the situation in silence.

She said. "I would like to search your carriages. We're here to check for possible clandestine exits from our city.

Does everyone in your party have their identification in hand?"

"Of course," Vicente said, understanding that they were looking for people without ID who might be leaving the city secretly.

Everyone who lived in the kingdom's cities had IDs registered in the same city. Once you create one of these identities, the entire Seidel Kingdom army, in this province or any other, would know your origin, and it would be impossible to make another.

With something like that, the soldiers in the group could tell if there was someone who didn't live in Millfall.

But would knowing that make any difference? After all, the criminals who recently attacked the Irwin family could be locals. At the same time, even if someone weren't a resident of Millfall, not every visitor would be a criminal.

But the army had its own methods of investigation. After a few days of being involved in the local investigation, they knew everyone who had recently entered the city and were gradually checking who had left the city in the past few days and who was leaving every day. So they couldn't determine the culprit, but they could find suspicious people who, if investigated thoroughly, could lead them to crucial information.

Unfortunately for Nova, everyone in Vicente's group had been living in Millfall for weeks and had local roles that could easily be checked to prove where they were before, during, and after the incident a few days ago.

There was no one there who wasn't properly registered in Millfall, let alone people hiding in their carriages.

After a quick check of Vicente's men's carriages and IDs, a soldier stopped next to Nova, Vice, and Rory and said. "Captain, everything is in order with their group."

Nova had expected this and told her men to release the Mazzanti family.

But before Vicente and Rory returned to their carriage, she told him. "Don't think I don't know it was you, Cesar. I may not have any proof, but I know it was you! It's the only possible explanation!"

Vice looked at her in silence, noticing she was determined to pursue him.

He laughed and said. "You have a very vivid imagination, Captain. I look forward to hearing your humorous comments when I return from my journey."

As he walked back to his carriage, he waved his hand and said. "By the way, congratulations on reaching level 5. You're as talented as you're beautiful, Captain."

Nova clenched her fists and looked in Cesar's direction with an ugly expression, wanting to hit him. Unfortunately, she had no proof against this person.

"Clear the way!"

She ordered, quickly getting the men in her group to clear the way for the Mazzanti family's three carriages.

With that done, Vicente's group would leave this blockade behind and continue on to their destination.

...

A few days later...

The town gradually returned to normal after the group led by Cesar Mazzanti left Millfall.

The Irwin family still wanted someone to punish. Of course, its members were angry about all they had lost and suffered that fateful day. They and their allies still hadn't found anyone to punish. Still, as the days passed, the local forces lost interest in continuing the investigation.

It wasn't cheap to keep several specialists, mercenaries, and many others in the city looking for enemies.

Even the army didn't want to invest too much in the matter, as they were preparing to hunt down the 3rd stage basilisks in The Rocky Gorge.

The group looking for people to punish even had someone to blame for everything. It was a servant of the Irwin family, Lena, who had gone missing and was already considered an outlaw with a bounty on her head. But with her having fled without a trace, the local authorities had little to go on.

As the days passed, with no trace of Lena, the local powers gradually returned to normal while the Irwin family learned to live with their new situation.

'Impoverished' as they were, the members of this house couldn't afford to waste all their influence and the few resources they had on a fruitless hunt!

In addition to the bounty they had placed on Lena's head, this house practically accepted its defeat, something unheard of in local history.

As a result, the population commented on the matter daily, with low-level townspeople, servants, outsiders, and low-income mercenaries secretly celebrating the Irwin family's defeat.

Although many people had nothing against the family, they were part of the kingdom's dirty power system.

For those who suffered under the system and had to put up with arrogant young masters and laws that only worked when they punished the weakest and poorest, it was a great joy to see a noble family suffer without being able to take revenge.

As the city returned to normal, in taverns like River's, people young and old, with or without awakened magic powers, dealt with the subject in much the same way.

To them, what had recently happened in this city was no different than a novel at its climax, when an antagonist was finally punished. As "spectators" of this important event, many were happier to see the successful robbery of the Irwin property than to see good things happen to themselves.

Even though they weren't directly involved with the group that carried out the robbery, nor could they be affected by the Irwin family's loss, many people in this town were as happy as if they had won prizes over the past few days!
