Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 31: Reunion?

The next morning...

Before doing anything, Vicente went with his sister to the Academy of Stars, intending to register her for the following year.

The current year would end in two more months, and after the vacations, it would be time for a new period to begin.

He could not leave his little sister with anyone, as he did not trust the people who worked for his father. So he could only register Nina at the academy and wait for the class period to begin.

So Vicente spent the early morning hours registering his sister at the academy desk, where he had been a few times in the last 6 years.

He reviewed some of his teachers there but didn't spend much time talking to anyone other than the staff responsible for registering new students.

"Okay, Nina Fuller is registered. You must pay the annual fee one week before her classes start to confirm her enrollment." A middle-aged woman said this to Vicente after believing the lie he had told to justify his parents' absence.

After being warned about this, Vicente thanked that woman and left, promising to return a week before the start of classes for the next period.

"Where are we going now, big brother?" Nina asked.

Vicente quickly wrote what he wanted on a piece of paper and showed it to her.

'We are going to visit a friend. But Nina, don't forget what I told you last night. Don't talk about our situation to anyone.

Then tell me again, what should you say when people talk about our parents?'

She read that and looked at her brother's face, "They are away taking care of big sister Lauren."

Vice smiled at her and continued carrying her in his arms.

After a few minutes of walking, he reached Rory's house.

Pa! Pa!

"Rory, it's me, Vicente." He shouted, hoping that his old friend was still around.

Rory was the person he trusted most, the only one he had talked to about his plans for the future. As such, before he began to deal with matters concerning his father's group, Vicente wanted to hear from this person what his intentions were.

"Vicente?" A slightly childish but much thicker voice than the one from months ago came from inside that house with a touch of surprise and joy.

"Man, I thought you had given up!" Rory said as he had a smile on his face as he opened the front door of his house.

"Never," Vicente said, noticing Rory's gaze on the little black-haired girl in his arms. "I'll explain what's up, but before I do, can I come in?"

"Sure! I was just about to invite you in for something to eat." He took a step back and made way for these two.

"By the way, are you alone?" Vicente asked.

"Hmm, my mother leaves really early. You know how she is." Rory commented as he directed these two to the kitchen.

Upon arriving, Rory's breakfast was served in several different dishes, with many options for just one child.

Rory's mother was a former prostitute who tried to reward her son for his origin in several different ways. Among them, she never punished him for his actions, always prepared bountiful meals, and constantly allowed him to choose what to do.

Nina saw this and licked her lips, hungry because her brother was not such a good cook.

Vicente smiled, put his sister down on a chair, and let her eat whatever she wanted, even without asking Rory.

He looked at Rory and became more serious. "A lot of things have happened. So as much as I still plan to go ahead with those things I already told you about, others will change, and maybe that won't interest you."

"It doesn't matter. I am with you. We're brothers, Vice." Rory said, eager to get to work alongside his friend.

"Hmm, but before that, you need to know what you'll be getting into."

"Okay. What happened?"

Vicente didn't intend to tell that to many people at the moment, so his advice to Nina. However, that was different about Rory.

Vice closed his eyes and said. "My mother and father died."

Upon hearing that, the expression on Rory's face changed considerably, leaving the interest of moments ago to expressing something that children should not show.

"What?" He exclaimed as he stood up, shocked to hear that. "That... Vice, I'm so sorry. What happened?"

"When we were traveling, my family was involved without our choosing in an expert battle. One of the attacks by those experts caused the death of my mother." He said, looking into Rory's eyes, showing all his hatred of those people.

"I saw my mother get smashed by that, Rory."

Rory clenched his fists and pressed his teeth into each other, feeling angry.

He was not close to Kate, but as Vice's mother, he respected her greatly.

Vicente loved his mother deeply, and Rory knew this. Knowing how he had seen his own mother being killed, this boy couldn't help but feel bad for his friend.

His eyes narrowed, and his voice became much deeper. "Is that how Mister Andrew died too?"

"No, my father survived along with my sisters and me. However, Lauren lost her sight, and Nina went deaf after that battle." Vicente looked at his sister, who was eating while smiling.

Eating was very good for a glutton like Nina.

At that moment, she could even forget some of the darkness of life she had been having for the past few months.

Rory also looked at that little girl while frowning his eyebrows. "It can't be... Nina, Lauren..."

"But our misfortune didn't end there, Rory. When my sister awakened her magical powers, she was taken by strange people who I don't know.

Her ability was above average. I suppose that's why she was taken.

Then my father died on the same day as Lauren's abduction." Vicente finished his unlucky story, calm despite the apparent hatred in his eyes.

"That's horrible... I didn't expect something like this could happen to you, man." Rory looked at Vicente and felt something indescribable, not knowing what he would do in his place.

Rory had no father and no siblings. It was just him and his mother. But even if he felt ashamed of her, he loved her, and if he lost his mother, he would feel terrible.

But Vicente had practically lost his entire family in a matter of months!

"Because of that, my previous plans need to change a bit," Vicente said seriously. "Now I need to avenge them. What happened to my parents and my sister cannot stay like this. I will bring justice to them even if I have to die for it!"

Rory heard this and understood why Vice wanted to talk to him first.

"So, you must make up your mind. If you continue on my side, you will face unimaginable problems. The people I'm looking for are definitely not weak, Rory.

But understand if you are not willing, I will not blame you. What I ask is really very heavy.

I don't want you to feel obligated to join me just because of the previous promise." contemporary romance

Rory closed his eyes and said. "Vice, there is nothing to rethink. Now more than ever I want to join your family!

The bastards who did this to your parents and sisters deserve to die!"

As he said this, he showed one of his hands to Vicente.

The two shook hands with each other, determined on this path ahead of them.
