Chapter 252 Back to Millfall?
Seeing Millfall in the distance, Rory smiled with satisfaction as he smelled the wet dirt on his way back to his town.
After leaving Vicente and the three level 1 Acolytes, Rory and his group had traveled a long way between the Alpine Woodpecker Forest and this town, which they were reaching.
But their journey had been calm. With the ammunition made by Vice before they split up and with the group stronger because of their new pentagrams, their journey had gone smoothly.
Neither unlucky enough to encounter powerful magicians nor forced to fight opponents, they spent nearly two weeks traveling non-stop.
Back in Millfall, the group now had much to do to increase the power of the Mazzanti family!
As soon as they entered the first street of Millfall, all the men smiled under their masks, seeing the place in a different light after their journey with Vice.
Their leader now had a yellow pentagram, and his powers had increased significantly!
As soon as he returned to the city, they would probably change everything about their situation!
But while they were in high spirits upon their return to Millfall, the group soon attracted the attention of the local powers, including the Mazzanti family itself.
Seeing two of the three carriages that had left town weeks ago, a soldier from the family climbed onto one of the sides of the carriage Rory was in and said.
"Welcome back, Deputy. We have some updates, but first, you should go to the Fuller estate. We've had some problems with the young lady in your and the Boss' absence." The man was direct.
"What?" Rory immediately lost the good expression on his face and became deeply serious as he considered something had happened to Nina.
With this concern, he said. "Very well. I want most of the group to go to the Mazzanti family headquarters. I'll disguise myself and see what I can do with the young lady."
"Deputy, that's not necessary." The man said. "During the incident with the young lady, the Mazzanti family was 'hired' to help House Fuller. There won't be any problems if you go there directly."
"Oh? Was it that serious?" Rory wondered.
"Yes, she was kidnapped and disappeared for a few days."
"What? How is that possible?" Rory immediately became angry. "How could you let this happen, you incompetents?"
"Someone kidnapped her at the academy. There was nothing we could do, Deputy. The academy doesn't allow guards to accompany students in all areas." The man said, feeling bad about being held responsible.
"Tsk!" Rory clenched his fists before changing his orders. "I want my group to go to the family headquarters and start dividing up the next team that will be hunting pentagrams. I'll take care of the young lady's problem."
"Yes, Deputy!"
So Rory left the carriage that had arrived in Millfall and went straight to the Fuller residence that early afternoon, accompanied by the soldier who had just informed him of the problems concerning Nina.
"Has anything else happened in our absence?" He asked.
"No, I mean, many things have happened, but most of them were in our plans. Only the young lady's situation has surprised us in the last few weeks, Deputy." The man replied.
"How is she now?"
"Well, I'd say. The young lady is very strong, and the day after she was rescued, she was back at the academy."
"Who rescued her?"
"Casey Rogers and Nova Bain." The soldier replied.
"I see..." Rory sighed at the sight of the Fuller family home, imagining that Vicente would be furious when he found out.
"Do you know who's behind this?"
"Yes, young master Marcus Symons."
Rory stopped before entering Nina's house and looked at the soldier's mask.
"Is this serious?"
"Yes, Casey Rogers saw the memories of one of the kidnappers... Anyway, we haven't done anything about it yet. And as luck would have it, Viscount Symons won't return from his trip for another two weeks."
The Mazzanti family group knew who was behind Nina's abduction. But they were almost certain that Marcus also knew that the Fuller family knew he had ordered it.
For the moment, Marcus hadn't moved, but that was because the Viscount was out of town, and the Fuller family had publicly hired the Mazzanti family's protection.
After Vicente's departure, the Mazzanti family began offering a residence protection service against thieves similar to those who had broken into the Irwin estate...
Not wanting to get into trouble with Cesar, Marcus was temporarily waiting for his father's return to solve all his local problems.
Vice's men knew that, so Rory was soon up to speed on his group's situation after weeks of pentagram hunting.
"Okay. That's enough time for Vice to return and for us to make our moves." He commented before entering the building and seeing Eve again after weeks.
"Rory!"
"Eve, the last few weeks must have been difficult for you..." He hugged the beautiful blonde and did not take long to talk to her about everything that had happened and what they were going to do now.
Even with Nina's problem, Rory intended to follow Vicente's plans to the letter, which were basically to keep them out of more trouble in the absence of their Don.
But in the meantime, Rory wanted to plan his future actions to deal with House Symons, find out who was on his side, who could be bought, and see what could be presented to Vice the day he returned from his trip.
With the resources Vicente should already have in addition to his gold coins, it was time for them to be more aggressive!
'I will contact Casey and the two I spoke to at the meeting with Lukas. I think I can secure enough resources for them to join the Mazzanti family full-time.' Rory thought as he talked to Eve.
...
Meanwhile, at Viscount Symons' estate...
Marcos had just received news of Rory's group's arrival in town and was naturally concerned about Cesar's possible return.
"Where is he? Have you seen him?" He asked with a green expression, full of hatred for the incompetence of the men he had hired.
But worse than that. He wanted to scare Vicente Fuller. Yet, his actions seemed to have put the damned Cesar Mazzanti and his organization on him, something Marcus didn't want right now.
"We don't have that information yet, young master." A trusted subordinate of Marcus said in front of his leader, ignoring the naked woman on the bed where that young blond man was sitting.
This mature woman looked at young master Symons and said. "You should be careful with the Fuller family. A few days ago, I came home and saw my husband talking about some problem with students at the academy who had insulted Nina Fuller. Days later, they showed up injured. It seems that this Fuller family is not as easy to deal with as they seem."
Marcus and his subordinate looked at the wife of the academy director, where Nina was a student, not knowing how this might affect their next actions.
