"Random things" ['GOD']
"I am not Gey" [Normal]
Just outside of the academy, Tristania
Salvatore's POV
Sigh. That didn't go as I expected but what can I do, 'God' said that I'm in a world with magic so I thought that the guy was chanting some magic. What's done is done, I'am gonna get the fuck outta here before they catch me.
Outside the academy, aside from the road leading to the main city, is just thick forest, it would be impossible if no one got ambushed here. I guess this is the time to summon those 10 guys huh. Still though, 10 guys is more than enough to start my own famiglia. But if I want to start one I need capital, looks like I have to do some robberies eh?. Wait scratch that, what about protection rackets, they can't refuse, because if they do me and the 10 guys make him want it.
And so I summoned the 10 guys, no money, no power, but they're fucking loyal, this is good. We hijacked a carriage that's going to a city, Tristania, from what the driver said it's the capital of the ehem "Kingdom" of Tristain. I seriously don't know why they're calling it Kingdom when the ruler's a female, and the heir's a female. But it's not up to me what the people wants right?, anyways we'll be going Tristania, make some extortions here and there, get some rumors on the local leaders, set up an HQ, then set up the protection racket.
So it's a 2 hour from that institution to the city, now to buisness. While exploring the city I noticed something from the 10 guys I summoned, they look identical to the guys I know back in Sicily. The first guy looks like Franco, the one next to him looks like Bruno, the capo I befriended when I was still a capo, then the other guys are... Ricci, Moretti, Costa, Lucciano, Falcone, Vinci, Angelo, and the last one looks like Mr. Greco when he was young.
I'll worry about that later, for now I need to get money to set up a base of operations. Now I ain't going to be some adventurer doing mercenary work, and now that I think about it I get very annoyed for some reason. What I'm gonna do is what I always did back then, crime, because crime pays off the amount of risks and work you put into it. Anyways we're gonna get started
Well, now to the extortion part, find some rich looking guy, befirend him, then do it. After waiting for 10-15 minutes I see a rich looking merchant in the, you guessed it (or not) merchant's district. Well it's a good thing I waited here, according to the info from locals merchants tend to be "open" in their district. Well time to get some money off that fatass.
Since he was unguarded it was very easy to get up to him
"Hello Sir, my name is Luca Gurino, I hail from the country of Romalia (I think that was the name, I'm not so sure. Should've asked it about the lady back from the bar)"
"HmmHmm, what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you, Mr. Gurino" good thing I am still wearing my tailored suit. Though from their perspective it's weird, but it does give off a "professional aura"
"Well sir, I have a business proposal for you, and I guarantee with my life that this will succeed. I had consulted my friend first but he declined as he said he didn't have enough money. But!, he said to me that I should look for you Mr. Rosseau. (I mean that's what's written on the sign on the house right?, I hope it's right)"
"Who is this friend of yours Mr. Gurino?"
"Ah, his name is Toscano, Alberto Toscano"
"Never heard of him"
"Well he just became a merchant, he said that he heard you from his Tristanian mentor"
"So I am that famous huh. So Mr. Gurino, what's your business proposal?"
"Well Mr. Rosseau, let's talk about it here". He and I took a stroll on the merchant's district and explained to him of the drug trade. Little did he know I'm guiding him to a trap.
"Mr. Rosseau, I will be direct, the commoners are quite very unhappy"
"Well that is true Mr. Gurino. But what does that have to do with your proposal, if you have a problem then you should go to the nobles"
"No no Mr Rosseau, their unhappiness is what my proposal is based on"
"Continue"
"Well since they are unhappy, wouldn't they want to be happy. Like you and me, and everyone else, wouldn't you want to be happy"
"Well yes, of course I wan't to be happy"
"Then Mr. Rosseau I have the perfect thing for that. But to continue let's go here Mr. Rosseau, I wouldn't want this secret to be heard" well you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat
"Though this way is less safe, I would doubt that anyone would have the gall to do anyhting dangerous in the merchants district" Oh how little does he know. Well we're nearing there
"Alright Mr Rosseau. The thing is I met with an alchemist. But he is no normal alchemist, he is special one!"
"How can you say that Mr. Gurino"
"Because when I befriended him he let me use one of his creations. And it made me really happy, I forgot all of my stress, I feel I was in another world. Then I convinced him to have one of the commoners to try it, he reluctantly agreed and about an hour later the commoner was begging for more. He said he's do anyhting more more of his creation."
"So we're going to sell it?"
"Why of course Mr. Rosseau, why wouldn't we?!. This is a gold find, if we sell it to the commoners working directly to the nobles, think of the wealth we can get"
It looks like he's seriously thinking about it, hmph well we're here
"So what about it Mr. Rosseau?, will you accept my proposal?
"Well give me time to think Mr. Gurino, but don't worry I will contact you when I made my decision"
"Okay My Rosseau. But before you go I have something else to say"
"What is it Mr. Gurino?"
"Hands up piggy give up all your money!" I pulles out my pistol and aimed at him that was the signal, when the other guys saw the signal they surrounded Rosseau with guns out and aimed at him
"Wait what id this Mr. Gurino!, tell me what's going on?!"
"You give up all your money and we'll let you live understand!"
"What?!. NO!. I will report you to the Queen! I'll make sure your head falls off your body"
Well since this is the merchants' district, I can't do anything that will alert them. Luckily I have my silencer here and put it on my pistol and shot him in the knees (God why am I always aiming for the knees?)
"Hmm, I don't know you figure it out" What no I ain't talking to you
Anyways before I shot him, the Franco look-a-like grabbed his mouth to keep him shut.
"Well Mr. Rosseau, there's more where that came from"
"Fine!, here this is all the money I got on me. Now leave me alone!"
"Ah ah ah, it appears we need more Mr Rosseau. Looks like we need your coffers too"
"What?!. Isn;t that enough for you, you criminals. You wouldn't get anyhting more than that in your lifetime!"
"Oooh, but I will Mr. Rosseau, because crime pays. Besides from that, look behind you, isn't here something wrong?"
He turned around and didn't say anything for a few seconds then
"Ahh!, there were 10 of you now theres only seven"
"That's right Mr. Rosseau, when you came here you dropped you lock to your house. One of my guys picked it up and hew went to your house. By now anyone in there is a hostage. So I can send one of my guys to tell the other guys to kill 'em"
"WAIT!, PLEASE DON'T!. I-I-I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU. H-HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?"
"Every. Single. Last. Coin"
"O-O-OKAY!, J-JUST DON'T HURT THEM, PLEASE. H-HERE, THE KEY TO THE MY STASH. TAKE EVERYHTING YOU WAN'T. IT'S AT THE BACK OF BOOKS IN MY ROOM. JUST DONT US PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU!"
"Okay, okay stop your whinin'. And also don't go telling anybody about this, capiche. If you do, the magic seal in the house will go boom. Okay. And if you survive, WE'LL HUNTO YOU DOWN!, got it?" (Of course that was a lie, but given in the schock he is, I think he'll believe it)
"Y-Y-YEAH, I WON'T TELL A SOUL"
"Good. Now scram. Remember, we're watching you"
And there he goes, he walked away while shivering. Well, time to get the money from him
2 DAYS LATER
Looks like Rosseau was richer than I thought he would be. I bought a small manor in the city. The manor is nice, well cleaned, nice decorations, classical themed architecture. But to even have the privilege to buy this manor, I had to and bribe some officials, convince some and here I am. Even though the money we got from Rosseau is big, we still need more rolling in. And so I have my first target to my protection racket, the 'de Sauvignon' Mansion. A noble house it seems, it's political power is debatable , has no power in military affairs, but remains to be somewhat feared with the nobles. The house's loaylty to the crown made them one of the favourites of the crown, and with it's loyalty to the crown attracted the de Valliere family and over the years became "best friends". With 2 major factions supporting them, they are sure to be wealthy, though this may be is big of a job, but there is nothing too big for me.
For now I have to plan. First, their guards barracks is to the right of them, all the guards sleep there at night since the noble family's magic guards the at the night. So if I wan't this to be successful, I have to kill all of the Guards at night, setting the barracks on fire should be enough. And I also found some grenades on the basement, looks like it's from God. I 'll just use some of these then ligt the place up.
But there is one more problem, if were doing it at night I have to deal with the magic. Shit, I don't know what kind of magic it is, and the locals wouldn't know since they wouldn't dare to break in. Looks like I have to go in and investigate. Looks like the raid will halted for a week or so, but I think thepay is good enough
Tristain Magic Academy, Tristain 2 days ago
Louise's POV
Aghhhhhhhhhh!, damn that plebian. AHHHH, it hurts. And when I actually summoned something, it decided to go rogue and shoot me and Professor Colbert. What are they going to think about me now, summoning a plebian that killed Mr. Colbert. At best expulsion, worse is execution. Dammit, why did he have to shoot my knees, it's hard to walk.
15 minutes later
Somehow I managed to get to my room. When I saw Mr. Colbert's body, the teacher just carried me away. Father, Mother, Sisters, I am so sorry for this.
Knock, Knock, Knock
"Who is it?" I asked
"It is Headmaster Osmond, I would like to speak with you Ms. Valierre.
It's the Headmaster, am I going to get expelled
"I am not here to expel you Ms. Valierre. I am only here to ask some questions, will that be okay?"
"Okay"
Me, Headmaster Osmond, and Miss Longueville, are going to the headmaster's office to basically investigate. Most definitely because of Mr. Colbert's death at the hands of my "familiar"
