Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

While Vicente was starting the rebellion, the vast majority of the soldiers in Long Bay Correctional Facility had no idea what he was starting.

That was the case with the high-ranking Commanders who were in charge of running the prison.

But that was about to change, and not just because of Vicente's actions!

While some of the High-level Mages were scattered around the prison, the two strongest men in the army there were in the command room receiving an urgent call.

"Declare a state of emergency in the prison! Infiltrators have managed to disguise themselves as soldiers! They probably are acting to create some kind of rebellion or escape!" A soldier's voice sounded from the main communication device in that place, with a tone full of nervousness.

The two High-level Mages in the room paled when they heard that, not expecting to have such a serious problem so soon after the shift change.

"Is this really serious? But there's nothing wrong here." One of them exclaimed, thinking about the possibility that this could be a mistake.

"Impossible!" The voice said in a more serious tone. "We have already sent reinforcements to Long Bay Correctional Facility. But you'll have to handle the situation on your own for the next two hours. Our Sovereigns won't arrive until after that."

"Sovereigns?" The two Commanders looked at each other, aware that this information could not be a mistake. Sovereigns only moved when something very serious happened!

"All right. Let's start the emergency protocols." The older of the two men said as he rose from his seat, determined to start vascularizing the prison.

As the call ended and the two were about to give their orders, they felt the entire building inside the hill shake significantly. 

The paintings on the walls of this command office fell off while the lamps on the ceiling shook violently. At the same time, the two Mages became a few degrees more serious as they stared at the ground with wide eyes.

"It can't be..."

"Don't tell me that..." 

The two muttered, feeling very bad about this day.

...

Simultaneously with the discovery of those two soldiers, the first two levels of the prison were in total chaos!

While the metal structures of the entire prison were shaking under the strong effects of Vicente's magnetic cores, the bars of the cells on those two levels were simply flying toward the magnetic cores on those floors!

Seeing such a thing happening in front of them, the more than 600 inmates on those two levels couldn't help but notice the opportunity in front of them.

"Time to escape!" Some of the smarter ones unconsciously shouted as they saw the metal objects in their path flying toward the magnetic cores in the cell corridor.

But escaping wasn't the only thing that interested these men. Most saw this strange event as an opportunity to solve their problems in this prison! 

Few of them had any hope of escape. Their situation was not favorable. Not only were there too many soldiers and defense mechanisms to prevent them from escaping the prison, but they were all out of mana!

There were devices similar to handcuffs that had the ability to seal the mana inside a body. Prisoners were usually required to use this type of device when they entered the prison and moved around the common areas of the prison to which they had access.

But in addition to these devices, the cells at Long Bay Correctional Facility could repel mana. Thus, even without such devices, an inmate held in a cell could not absorb mana.

All those hundreds of inmates who were now free to move around on levels 1 and 2 were exhausted and couldn't activate their abilities to fight for the facility.

Therefore, instead of thinking about escaping, many of these men had something else in mind. 

Revenge!

No matter how slim their chances of escaping were, their chances of catching up with their enemies were great now that there were no cells in their way.

"Green Faction wretches, I'm going to kill you!" Shouted one of these men on level 2, running toward the Green Faction members on that floor. 

At the same time, fights were breaking out here and there on the same floor, with several inmates running toward the guards with the intention of attacking these soldiers.

A single exhausted magician would never stand a chance against an armed magician at their best. But even a soldier with those qualities would have trouble against 30, 40, or 50 opponents.

Faced with the disparity in numbers, some of the guards soon began to flee in the direction of their comrades, not wanting to fight these rabid inmates alone.

"Oh, shit! What's going on?" One of the soldiers on level 1 shouted in fear.

Meanwhile, Evan was already dressed in prisoner clothes and moving among the many prisoners on the floor of the prison where Nico was.

It took him only 40 seconds from the start of his action to reach Eve's father, and he quickly grabbed the man without giving him a chance to speak or refuse help.

"I'm here to get you out of jail," Evan said into Nico's ear as he stood behind the man, using one of his hands to hold Nico's mouth shut. "The ones that want you out of here are related to someone named Eve Ostell. I don't know who she is, but the name must mean something to you." 

'Eve?' Nico stopped struggling when he heard that.

Meanwhile, the prisoners on the outskirts were rioting on level 1 of the prison, having already spread to the living areas on that level but also to the places where the soldiers were.

Sounds of screaming and breaking furniture could be heard from all directions while fighting and desperate attempts to escape took place on this level.

Evan told Nico, "I'm going to let you, but don't make a stir. I'll take you to where we're going." 

Nico nodded and agreed to follow the man, aware that this was his only chance to escape this place and try to make something of his life.

Evan gave Nico a restorative potion and said. "Drink this quickly. You'll need to move faster than you can now later."

"Okay."

...

Meanwhile, Vicente was in level 2, where a group of soldiers looked at him grimly as he helped the inmates attack the royal forces there.

After starting the rebellion by freeing many inmates, he didn't hesitate to give half a dozen potions to the strongest inmates and break down the defenses in the soldiers' area.

The soldiers there only had time to warn the rest of the prison about what was happening when Vicente and the inmates attacked them.

In just one minute since the riot began, half a dozen soldiers had fallen in level 2, where blood-stained walls and human brains could be seen here and there.

Meanwhile, the mana in the area was stirred as soldiers and prisoners struggled with their powers.

With all the confusion in this place, Vicente saw his opportunity. He didn't hesitate to make his way to the deeper floor of the facility, from where he and his companions would escape.

'Time to escape!'
