Modern World Warlock

The day after Dante and Megan captured the vampire, Irina, they called Camille to inform her of the events.

The group still had to spend one more day in Ventis since they had a meeting with international music producers. However, Camille decided to postpone that meeting and bring the group back to Novis as soon as possible.

From the way that both vampires treated each other during their attack, Dante could tell that they were pretty close, so there was a high possibility that they would try to rescue Irina.

Camille, not wanting to endanger the band but also not lose the vampire, gave the command to return to the capital that same day.

When the group arrived at the private airport, Dante had a quick talk with Irina before getting out of the car.

The vampire's body was still bound with Dante's abyssal chains, but the warlock didn't want to attract attention, so he told Irina that he would remove the chains if she cooperated.

Irina thought that she could easily make her escape if the warlock removed the chains, but when she gazed back at him, she noticed he was staring her down with a cold look.

"Don't try anything funny…" Dante muttered.

The vampire had no other choice but to follow Dante's instructions, and when the chains disappeared, she calmly followed him to the plane and boarded it with the rest of the group.

While on the flight back, Megan received a message on her phone with a link, and when she opened it, she saw it was a video from the events after the concert.

The video's point of view seemed to be recorded by one of the spectators who thought the fight with the vampires was part of the show, and it was racking up hundreds of thousands of views.

"Uhh, so this video is all over social media…" Megan commented, showing it to Dante.

The warlock could be seen shooting a shadow bolt and flying upwards with his black wings along with the two vampires. Fortunately, his face wasn't discernable by simply watching the recording.

"Let's see the comments," Megan said, scrolling down on her phone.

["Nice show, but this shit is so fake!"]

["You can see the cables holding the actor's wings LOL!"]

["Cool effects…"]

["Kim Mi-Yun, my QUEEN!!"]

"Hmm, everything seems fine…" Megan continued after reading the comments, realizing that nobody suspected that the fight was real.

"Hmph, humans always try to look for a logical explanation for things they can't comprehend," Irina commented with a smug tone.

"Hmm? You are more talkative today… Ready to tell us who hired you?" Dante asked, making Irina turn her head to the side and ignore his question.

When the group landed on Novis, they were picked up by a pack of black SUVs that took them to Camille's skyscraper.

The handler considered sending everyone to the Jade Palace, but she still had tasks to complete at the tower, so she decided to send everyone there.

The band was sent to their rooms to rest. Meanwhile, Dante and Megan took Irina to Camille's office, where the handler wanted to ask the girl a few questions.

The handler introduced herself to the vampire, making her a bit surprised, seemingly recognizing her last name.

"Look, my offer is simple… Tell us who hired you for how much, and we will simply double your reward," Camille said with a casual tone.

"They offered us three million…" Irina apprehensively replied while looking to the side.

Camille let out a whistle. "So, how about six million for the information?" she asked.

"I… Need to think about it," Irina replied, holding her arm with apprehension.

Dante interjected and said that Irina was a sentinel vampire, so she wasn't the one to make these decisions.

"Who should we talk to, then?" Camille inquired.

A few minutes later, one of Camille's servants brought a phone into the office, handed it to Irina, and told her that she could use it to call someone.

The handler clarified to the vampire that she was only allowed to speak about the offer, and if she revealed her location or their identities, then the negotiations would be finished.

Irina ended up calling her companion, whom she referred to as "Number 2," and the man picked up the call with distress in his voice.

The vampire calmly explained the situation, telling him that she had been captured and was offered six million dollars to reveal who hired them for the kidnap.

The man asked who it was that captured her, but Irina replied with silence, making him understand that she was being monitored.

Number 2 said that he would call again in a few minutes and hung up. Still, not even three minutes passed by before he called again, accepting the deal.

Irina had gotten permission from her superiors to speak, so there was nothing holding her back anymore.

She explained that they had been hired by a man named Vincent Muro, who was one of the "Dons" of the Onyx Cartel.

"Did he ask for the two of you specifically?" Dante asked.

Irina shook her head and denied it, saying that it was her clan that received the mission, and she was simply chosen to complete it along with her partner.

From Irina's point of view, Vincent was a disgusting man who was paying exorbitant amounts of money to fulfill his fetishes, and while kidnapping a beautiful young woman wasn't her favorite activity, she still had to complete the task given to her.

"Are vampires always this money-hungry?" Camille asked the warlock.

"Not really… Vampire clans were quite wealthy back in Terra, so they didn't work as mercenaries like these guys," Dante replied.

Irina protested their words, saying that her clan wasn't broke. "Mother likes to buy lots of frivolous things, so we have to maintain our savings high…" she commented.

After the negotiations, the group decided to send the vampire clan an address of an abandoned warehouse where they were going to release Irina with her six million dollars.
