Chapter 36: First Murder?
"How did you do that?" One of the young men with Rory asked as he saw Vicente with Peter.
It had all happened very quickly. In less than 5 minutes, Vicente had broken in and left that property!
As much as there were no defenses in that house and Jesse's wife was weak, magicians could notice disturbances in the mana in the surroundings with relative ease.
Vicente smiled and said. "Let's move first. If you guys want, I can teach you some tricks later."
Vicente's mana control was not high, but he could control it to do numerous things, including combining such a thing with his earthling abilities.
Since he was a little boy, Vicente had trained not only in the martial arts of this world. He trained even more what he had brought back in his memories of Earth, from fighting forms to ways of acting.
The equipment he had used earlier he had made himself, while his invasion technique relied on a breathing and movement style developed by assassins from the Mazzanti family.
Combining this with mana, he could move without disturbing the free mana in the air while keeping his strength within his body. That way, he had entered such a house as easily as a harmless insect could do!
"Are you really going to do that?" One of those young men asked as they ran away from that place.
"Hmm, but you will have to earn it first. At most, I will teach you the basics. To learn everything, you will have to earn merit."
Rory ignored that and asked. "Where will we go now?"
"We are going to my father's estate. Jesse will come looking for us there."
"How will we act against him?" One of those two asked, determined to learn what Vicente had used.
He had a Magic Gem but still had no idea how to break into an estate without drawing any attention.
If he learned this, his chances would be much greater!
"First, let's go..." Vicente immediately told his group his plan.
...
Thirty minutes later...
"Jesse, there is something wrong with this boy. He's taking too long in the bathroom." Peter's mother said this after finishing putting the food in and continuing to hear the noise of the shower on the second floor.
Jesse looked in the direction of that seat of the armchair he was in and frowned. "Kid. Finish your shower now!" He shouted as he stood up.
But as he walked to the bathroom on the second floor, this Intermediate Apprentice soon realized that something was wrong because there was no one in that bathroom.
'Uh? Where is this boy?' He went to the bedroom and didn't find his son there either.
"Lexi! Peter is not here! Look for him on the first floor of the house!" He shouted in his slightly altered voice.
His son had never disappeared like this before. As such, he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive.
Lexi was startled by this and soon started looking for Peter.
Two minutes later, the two realized he was nowhere to be found in the house and went to the bedroom, where his clean clothes were still waiting for him on the bed.
"Damn it! Someone took our son!" Jesse turned red with anger and immediately thought of Vicente. "This must be that fucking brat!"
He had been trying to take Andrew's son's business. Still, he had been having trouble doing so since the little imp had cleverly redone several of his contracts.
But by talking to some of Vicente's suppliers about this young man's lie, Jesse was confident of soiling his reputation and eventually getting those suppliers!
