Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 47: In Search of a Home



Chapter 47: In Search of a Home?

It didn't take long for Vicente's group to move on to find property in this town after they rested and ate.

Following the information they had gotten from the inn where they had stayed, they drove halfway across town to a house farther from the center.

This zone looked like a piece of a residential neighborhood where the main businesses in the surrounding area were located.

There were stores selling food, restaurants, and taverns, but also stores selling clothes, shoes, and things like that.

Although this was a world very much like the medieval Europe, the services and businesses were much more developed.

Because of the wealth of those able to manipulate mana in their bodies, the services in this society had developed faster than certain aspects.

Education in this society was not universal, but any fool knew that the skills of mortals unable to manipulate mana could provide them with opportunities for social advancement. Cooks, shoemakers, sewists, and many other ordinary professionals worked hard, and some had their stores in places like this one.

This society needed all these and many other businesses, so even streets far from the center of cities the size of Millfall had commerce in their main avenues.

In the middle of this trading place in the middle of a residential neighborhood, Vicente and his group got off their carriage, looking at one of the houses on this avenue.

This place seemed ordinary at first sight, just another residence, the ignorant would say.

But Vicente and his people knew that there was one of the few people in this city who was allowed to sell local property. contemporary romance

This underdeveloped society had its rules!

Although private property existed only in cities, where the king gave up his right to the land in his dominions, not just anyone could sell it.

The Duke was the one who appointed people for this kind of service, and only such people were allowed to trade properties in cities.

Each town had one such person for every 20,000 inhabitants, so only three people were allowed to trade local properties in Millfall.

The house in front of Vice's group was one of the workplaces of one of these three!

Seeing a line of people at the only entrance to that house, Rory made an unhappy expression and looked at Vicente. "Shall we wait our turn?"

"Why not? We are not special, and there are only five people in front of us." Vicente smiled, "Let's take the opportunity to try to learn a little more about this place."

After saying those words, Vicente approached the group of people in the muddy line outside that house.

"Hello, sir. Please could you tell me what this line is for?" He politely asked a short, fat, middle-aged man who had a standard Magic Gem on his forehead.

The man looked at Vicente and noticed how well-dressed this young man was.

Vicente already looked more like an adult than a child by the standards of this world, so this man did not underestimate this youth. "Kid, this line is for people buying property. Broker Grant is now confirming some deals with an officer at this property."

"Oh? What would you advise someone interested in visiting the properties negotiated by broker Grant?" Vicente asked as Rory and his men approached him.

This man, also well-dressed, with rich looks, smell, and manner of speaking, looked at them and said. "If this is what you want here, wait a moment. You will not need to speak directly with broker Grant but with one of his assistants.

One of them has just entered this house, so she should return soon to serve those interested in local properties."

"So that's it... Thanks for the information. Have a good time."

After that, Vicente smiled at Rory, shaking his head negatively at this friend of his.

A few minutes later, they listened to some conversations in the surroundings, learning a little more about this place, until a blonde-haired woman in a dark blue dress appeared in front of the house.

"Is anyone here waiting to meet our properties for sale?"

Vicente raised one of his hands, attracting that woman's attention.

"Are you guys after land or a house?" She asked as she approached them, carrying a clipboard in one of her hands.

Rory answered. "We are in search of both. We'll need two properties, but we want to check out the options before we decide to build or buy something ready-made."

"So that's it." She gently smiled, interested in the two businesses they wanted.

Vicente and Rory didn't look noble, but they didn't look poor either. Besides being well-dressed, they had polite manners and had guards.

This was a good enough sign for this saleswoman not to despise them just because they were juveniles.

"What are your names?" She asked as she led them into that house.

"This here is my friend, Rory, and I am Vicente."

"My name is Aurora. So, Vicente and Rory, would you be willing to sign a purchase commitment with us? Obviously, we will give you some benefits with that." She suggested to avoid wasting her time with people unable to pay for her commission.

Only three people in the entire city were behind the local property business. None of them had time to waste with people who were unsure about their buying interests!

"It wouldn't be a problem," Vicente said. "But what benefits would those be?"

She welcomed them into her small office and said. "With a purchase commitment, I will meet you any time of day, take you to visit each of our locations, and Broker Grant guarantees 10 years of tax-free for you."

Everyone in Vicente's group opened their eyes in surprise.

This guarantee was pretty good!

In the Seidel Kingdom, there was no income tax. Yet, there were taxes on private property located in cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants.

The amount was not low, 5% of the property value!

However, they did not know that anyone buying property in Millfall would already receive this discount for 10 years...

"Well, I guess we can sign that agreement." Rory agreed with Vice.

With those sweet words, they soon signed such a commitment, and the beautiful Aurora told them. "Very well, we currently have 6 houses and 10 plots of land at our disposal.

Only one of the plots of land is in the central part of town. Millfall has grown a lot in recent years, so if I were you, I would take advantage of the opportunity. There won't be any others after that..."

As she spoke, she opened a book with a map of the town, showing the locations of the houses and land to Vicente and Rory.

After looking at it for almost 30 minutes, the two decided which locations they wanted to see first.

Without further ado, they set off to visit these properties!

...

Two days later, Vicente and Rory had seen all the properties available in Millfall and were at this moment standing in front of the one they had decided to buy.

They had not yet decided on the second place they would buy because they would meet Aaron another day. But the place where Nina would live with Vicente would be the one in front of them, a nice 3-bedroom property in a residential neighborhood near the center of Millfall.

"It's not bad. From this place, Nina will be able to walk to the local academy." Vicente commented to Rory, satisfied with this choice.
