Modern World Warlock-Chapter 53: Mansion Raid

After Dante and Megan were taken to the outskirts of Novis, which was a little over forty minutes by car, they arrived at a street that had large mansions next to each other.

The pair wore earpieces connected to Camille, and their jackets had small cameras where she could see their point of view.

When the driver stopped in the middle of the street, Camille told them that Joseph’s security extended out of his residence, so the pair would have to walk a few blocks to get there since going with the car would be too obvious.

Megan was wearing her usual outfit that completely covered her body except for her eyes, while Dante wore a set of jogger pants, a T-shirt, a jacket with a hoodie, and the mask that Camille had given him.

"We look pretty shady already…" Megan commented as they stood on the sidewalk.

"How do you wanna do this?" She continued.

"Hmm, let’s see… Krom, come here," Dante replied, calling the imp to his side, appearing with a ’poof’ right next to them.

"What? I was in the middle of an intense online match! If this messes with my rank…" the imp complained.

"You’ll be back in a second, man. Relax…" Dante replied.

"Tell me. Feel anything strange on this street?" he asked the imp.

"Ehhh, lots of umbra. I think there might be one weak demon out there… The rest is just weirdos," Krom stated, his gaze fixated on the street.

"Weirdos? What do you mean?" Megan asked.

"I don’t know, I haven’t seen them! I can just tell by that umbra that they are weirdos!" The imp replied, seemingly out of patience.

"Noted. You can go back," Dante said, making the imp "poof" away without saying goodbye.

"So, what’s the plan?" Megan asked.

"How about… I’ll go to the front gate and catch their attention while you enter from the back?" the warlock replied with another question.

"Alright… Cami, you there?" said the brunette to the handler on their earpiece.

["I’m ready,"] Camille replied, sitting in a dark room with monitors all around her and the ones in front of her showing the live feed from Dante and Megan’s hidden cameras.

When the pair got close enough to the mansion, they separated so the woman could get to the back entrance as Dante stood in front of the main gate across the street.

Two men were stationed behind the gate with rifles hanging from their shoulders, and after seeing Dante suspiciously staring at them, one of them spoke up.

"Hey you, move along!" The guard shouted.

Dante didn’t budge an inch from his spot, tapping his foot against the ground as if he were waiting for something.

"Did you not hear me!? Hey, you!" The guard yelled again.

’Five… four…’ The warlock counted in his head, his gaze locked on the mansion.

*Tch* "Screw it. I’ll go out there and tell him!" said the guard to his companion, opening a smaller gate on the side.

As the armed man walked outside and crossed the street to approach the warlock, he simply leaned against a tree.

’Three… two…’ he kept counting.

"Hey, are you deaf!? You can’t be here," said the guard, standing mere feet away from Dante.

Suddenly, the guard stopped talking as Dante forcefully grabbed his cheeks and covered his mouth with one hand, making the guard freeze in fear.

"Apologies, sir. I’m here to cause a ruckus," the warlock said politely, throwing the guard against the gate from across the street.

"Eh? What the-!?" The second guard exclaimed after being startled by his buddy crashing against the metal bars.

When the guard turned to look at the entrance, Dante was vaulting over the tall gate, not giving him enough time to aim his rifle at the warlock before getting knocked out by a kick in the face.

"Hmmm, this could work…" Dante muttered, grabbing the loaded rifle from the guard’s body.

Turning his body to the mansion, the warlock pulled the trigger and started spraying bullets all around the area with no particular target in sight.

However, after emptying the entire magazine, an alarm started blaring loudly as thick metal panels slid down from the house’s frame, covering the main entrance and the windows.

"Not really what I had in mind…" Dante said to himself.

["That security system was made by an old friend… It shouldn’t be easy to break in, but that logic doesn’t apply to you, right?"] Camille said in the warlock’s earpiece.

With a smirk on his face, Dante approached the main door protected by the durable metal and calmly pointed his palm at it.

"Destro," he muttered, making the structure before him shake and crumble for less than a second before imploding, raising a cloud of dust and leaving the main entrance completely open.

The alarm was echoing inside the mansion, and right as the warlock stepped inside, bullets started flying toward him from all directions, making him rush deeper into the hallways to avoid the projectiles.

While running, Dante found himself in an open living room with a set of stairs leading to the second floor, surrounded by columns and men wearing black suits pointing their rifles at him from the upper floor.

Quickly taking a back step, the warlock retreated into the hallway and waited a few seconds for the men in suits to chase him down.

"He is not armed. Go, go, go!" one guard shouted.

Nonetheless, as soon as the dozen guards descended the stairs, Dante stepped inside the room and pointed his hand at the group.

"Destro," he muttered again, blasting away with an invisible force one of the columns beside him, along with the dozen guards and a chunk of the staircase.

Camille was attentively watching the pair infiltrating the mansion, and she wondered how Dante decided who to kill or spare, as he didn’t seem to have any remorse when erasing the gang members from existence.

She had witnessed the warlock knocking out the guards at the front gate, but the rest of the guards inside were being massacred, piquing her interest.

The woman didn’t personally care if the enemy lived or died, considering all of those guards to be mere pawns. Nevertheless, she still wanted to understand Dante’s train of thought.
