Modern World Warlock-Chapter 179: Secret Bomb Threat

After Dante had a quick word with Jerry Jenkins, the warlock opened the door to his office and allowed Kim Mi-Yun to rejoin them.

The woman noticed that Jerry was profusely sweating while shivering, unable to get over Dante’s fearful intimidation.

With haste, Jerry told the idol that he would be sending the contract to her manager in a few days, which left the woman a bit confused as she hadn’t negotiated the terms.

Still, Kim Mi-Yun didn’t argue and took the deal before returning to the party, where Megan and the rest of the band were hanging out.

"Thanks for the help, oppa," the idol said to the warlock, which caught him a little by surprise as he knew that the term "oppa" was used as an honorific title of endearment.

"Heh, no problem," Dante replied with a gentle smile, prompting Kim Mi-Yun to blush.

When the group finally left the party and returned to the hotel, Dante and Megan called Camille to give her a summary of the events.

The warlock coerced Jerry Jenkins into giving the idol a better deal for his movie, and he also managed to prevent him from assaulting the woman.

"Great job!" Camille praised the warlock.

The handler had already heard about the supposed vampires that tried to attack them at the gas station, and she called the leaders of the GTS to see if they had any information about them.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know anything about a group of vampires, so the two mafia families were in the dark.

The following day, the group was allowed to wake up a bit later than usual since they didn’t have any activities in the morning.

Still, early at noon, they were taken to the stadium where the concert would take place and began their preparations.

While the band members were in the dressing room, Dante said that he would take a quick look around the area and left Megan guarding the door.

The warlock mostly looked around out of curiosity, admiring the architecture of the massive building and seeing the line of people going inside the stadium.

As he kept strolling by the food and beer stands, he felt a sudden surge of umbra coming from one of the seats overlooking the field, so he quickly made his way to its location.

It was a bleacher located almost at the very top of the stadium, which were the seats further away from the stage. However, when Dante turned his attention to that side, he didn’t see anyone.

Nevertheless, he still walked up to the row of bleachers in the back and spotted a strange, brown bag with cables coming out of it.

It was shaped like a rectangle, and Dante noticed it was pretty heavy when lifting it up and rotating it to see a blinking red light.

’Hmmm, I don’t think I should leave this here…’ Dante thought.

’Oh, I know!’ He continued, taking out his phone and taking a picture of the strange device.

After sending the picture to Megan, he instantly received a call from the brunette.

["That’s a bomb, Dante!"] Megan exclaimed on the call, telling him to bring it to her quickly.

The warlock complied, and not even thirty seconds later, he returned to the dressing room and showed the bomb to Megan.

"Hmm, looks like a custom C4…" The brunette said as she inspected the device.

"What do I do with it?" Dante pondered.

Megan took a few seconds to reply as she pulled out a small pocket knife and unscrewed a part of the bomb holding the cables.

"I see… It’s an easy one," she muttered.

"Hmm?" Dante hummed, raising an eyebrow with curiosity.

Using the same pocket knife, Megan confidently sliced one of the red cables, which made the blinking light turn off.

"There… It’s deactivated," Megan said.

"Wait, what? How do you know?" Dante asked.

The warlock couldn’t sense any umbra or energy coming from the bomb, so he didn’t know how Megan knew which cables to cut.

"You rely too much on your umbra vision… Of course, a device like this won’t produce energy like a person," Megan replied.

She explained that she had been through bomb defusion training as a kid, so she knew a thing or two about them.

While she didn’t consider herself an expert, she was glad to see that the C4 had basic wiring, so it was a simple job for her.

With the bomb threat gone, Megan called Camille to ask her to look at the stadium cameras to check who placed the C4 there. However, the handler was quite busy at the moment, so she delegated the task to Trinity.

Luckily, Trinity was quick and sent the feed to both of their phones, noticing that it was one of the individuals who attacked Dante on the highway.

"They probably wanted to use the C4 as a diversion… You know? Blow up the back of the stadium to send all security there while they kidnap the idol," Megan commented.

"I see, so without the bomb, we don’t really know what they are going to do…" Dante replied, placing a hand on his chin.

The pair thought about giving the stadium security a description of the individuals so that they could deny entrance if they saw them.

However, Dante couldn’t detail any of their features clearly enough to give a perfect description of them.

Moreover, if they were vampires, they wouldn’t be stopped by something so trivial as a security guard preventing them from entering, so they decided against it.

If they had reported the incident, the concert would have been canceled and rescheduled for another day, so it wouldn’t have been any better, as the bomb threat could have simply happened again.

Their best option was to stay silent about the bomb and let the show continue to lure out the kidnappers.

When nighttime finally arrived in the city, the concert was mere minutes away from starting, so Dante and Megan escorted the band from the dressing room to the backstage area.

Kim Mi-Yun noticed how serious the two security guards had become, which initially made her nervous. However, remembering the time Dante stepped up for her against Jerry Jenkins relieved her worries a bit.
