Chapter 96 Beginning of Training
With the departure of this group, only Vicente and Rory remained in the room.
"That was clearly a threat," Rory commented to his friend.
"Yes, but what can we do?" Vicente didn't like the feeling of being threatened, but there was nothing he could do about it. Being small, he could only pretend he wasn't threatened and walk in the line.
"Let's see what happens in the next few days. If no other local groups come to us, we'll have no choice but to proceed with this terrible deal." Vicente pressed his hands against the arm of his chair, kneading them.
"But that would be terrible."
"We have no choice. Better to have a fraction of our profits than to face a single high-ranking Acolyte of the Scarlet Syndicate." Vicente was reasonable. "But this is only temporary, my friend. Do they want to force us to be their partner? Let's make them regret it!"
Rory agreed, feeling that they had to act against estates like Baron Irwin's more than ever.
A possible deal with one of the local ruling groups would affect their public operations in their ' territory.' Their criminal activities were not known to anyone other than their respective members.
That is, the results of robberies like the one against the Peters family would still only benefit them!
Vicente and his Fuller family still had their business activities, which had nothing to do with the security services they offered. So even if this were a humiliating deal, it would only reduce a fraction of their group's profits.
Vicente got up and headed for the exit.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm a little irritated. I'm going to see the Peters family." Vice said, leaving Rory behind, shaking his head negatively.
But soon, Rory would be on his way to the training room of this facility, where he would continue trying to improve his magic level.
Meanwhile, Vicente went to the place he had invaded days ago.
...
Arriving in front of the Peters' estate, Vicente didn't hesitate and rang the bell, causing one of the guards to jump when he realized who was there.
"Shit! It's that bastard!" Said the person as he already ran to Jax's door, yelling. "Boss, the masked guy is here!"
After those words were uttered, Jax and his younger brother appeared at the entrance of that residence, both of them already with horrible countenances on their faces.
Brody also appeared, full of hatred for the people who had humiliated him earlier.
"You piece of shit. What are you doing here?" Brody was the first to shout at the sight of the masked man.
Vicente didn't say anything right away. He only made the bars between the street and the house bend, opening the way for him.
By raising his cultivation level, Vicente could now manipulate many more metals than before and even deal with items made by 2nd-stage professionals.
He was still studying the material Benson gave him to study, so he still didn't have a good enough understanding of forging to produce better items than before. But stronger, even without the necessary understanding, he could create more dangerous items.
Jax saw this and remembered the last time he had seen this man act and naturally became concerned.
"Shut up, Brody! Get back in the house!" He shouted at his nephew before slapping the blue-haired young man away.
"What are you doing here? I thought our relationship was over!" Jax's younger brother wondered aloud, feeling a little scared of Vicente.
They had recently investigated this young man, but minimally talented magicians could hide their cultivation if they wanted to.
