Modern World Warlock-Chapter 59: A Bully’s End
Zac and Turner kept exchanging blows with each other in the dark alley, with the bully’s attacks getting stronger by the second.
The redhead had adopted a defensive stance and was using his chrome bat to deflect and protect himself against most of Turner’s punches. Nevertheless, he wasn’t able to catch all of them.
Victoria kept watching Zac fighting, feeling both shock and fear as his movements were impressive, but Turner’s appearance was too disturbing for her to try to make sense of what was happening.
At one point, Zac pummeled Turner’s face with his bat while receiving a punch in the gut, making him cough some blood as the bully stepped back.
The redhead placed a hand on his stomach, the pain freezing his movements momentarily. Without being able to retake his breath, he received another tackle that pushed him against a wall.
"Dammit…!" Zac muttered, seeing Turner standing before him.
’Come on, I need to protect her!’ The redhead thought while gritting his teeth.
Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared around Turner’s face, quickly dissipating and revealing Krom standing on his shoulders.
"Krom…" Zac muttered as he stood up.
The imp made a quick motion with his claws and placed them on Turner’s eyes, swiping to the side to deprive him of his vision.
Turner raised his arms with his eyes closed to catch the imp, who had already ’poofed’ away, letting out a grunt of pain and annoyance.
Relishing the opportunity, Zac grabbed his chrome bat lying next to him and hit the bully in the chin. However, the redhead’s attacks had lost some of its explosive power, allowing Turner to grab him by the neck with his oversized arm.
Zac placed one hand right beside his neck, getting caught in Turner’s grip and preventing him from getting asphyxiated. Still, the man’s strength was making it difficult for the redhead to keep it up.
"Why, why, why, why… Why do you keep standing in my way!?" Turner yelled, his voice deranged and devoid of reason.

"With this power… I will get everything I want when I want it—I can kill and fuck anyone I want, so why is a poor insect stopping me!?" he continued, making Zac grit his teeth as he struggled to keep Turner’s grip from choking him.
"Shut the hell up, monster…" Maya said, her voice catching both Zac and Turner by surprise.
The pink-haired agent was standing beside the bully, hugging the side of her torso with one arm as a drop of blood trailed down the corner of her mouth.
On her other hand, she was holding a pistol with a long, thick barrel, aimed point-blank at Turner’s temple.
In that brief stand-off that felt like a whole minute to them, Turner let go of Zac to attack Maya.
"Hyaaa-..." *BANG!* The loud and deep sound of her pistol interrupted Turner’s shout as the agent pulled the trigger faster than he could catch her.
Zac took one last look at Turner’s deformed body after it flopped on the ground, but the redhead didn’t feel a shred of compassion for him.
*Tch!* Maya scoffed, putting one knee on the ground as she held her torso in pain, prompting Zac to approach her worriedly.
"I’m fine. Just a few broken ribs… Go check on the girl," Maya muttered between breaths.
When Zac turned to get Victoria, he spotted the girl sitting on the ground with her back against the wall. Tears were rolling down her face, and her dress was barely keeping it together.
"Tori!" Zac exclaimed, running towards the girl.
Still, after Victoria saw the redhead covered in wounds and blood, her crying started to get worse but was halted when Zac hugged the woman.
"I’m glad you are okay," He muttered in her ear, opening his eyes and seeing that he was staining her dress and skin with his blood.
"Ah, sorry!" Zac said, trying to let go of the hug, but Victoria’s arms were wrapped tightly around him.
As they shared an embrace, Sophia abruptly exited the nightclub, arriving in the alley and seeing Zac’s wounds.
"Zac, here—Take this…" The blonde said, handing him one of Dante’s healthstones.
"Wh-what’s that?" Victoria asked between her sniffles.
The redhead immediately recognized the stone and urged Sophia to give it to Maya, who was struggling with her wounds on the other side of the alley.
With a determined expression, Sophia nodded and ran to the other side of the alleyway, showcasing her bare feet as she took off her heels to move faster.
"Here, Maya. Squeeze this…" The blonde explained as she placed the healthstone in Maya’s palm.
"Sophie… This is a rock," Maya commented while grunting from the pain.
"Did Cami not say anything? Squeeze it!" Sophia insisted, making the agent comply.
When the green mist started to pour out of her hand, the agent was startled momentarily, but Sophia held her hand to prevent her from dropping the stone.
*Sigh* "Yeah… I remember what Camille told me about this," Maya said as her wounds healed.
A few seconds later, one Tyler came around Maya’s position to pick her up while the other Tyler brought an oversized coat for Victoria to cover herself.
The woman had been so entranced by her fear that she hadn’t noticed that her dress was almost entirely ripped apart and that she was showing a little too much skin for her comfort.
"Eeek!" Victoria shouted, grabbing the coat and quickly putting it on with embarrassment.
"Thanks, Tyler," Zac said, receiving a nod from the silent man in return.
When the group walked towards Turner’s body, Victoria looked away with fear while the others inspected it, getting interrupted by police sirens arriving at the nightclub.
"We have no time. We should take the body…" Maya commented, getting ready with the two Tylers to carry the corpse.
"Hands up!" A woman’s voice echoed in the alley, alerting the entire group.
As Maya turned around with her hands in the air, she noticed two female police officers approaching them, and she was familiar with one of them.
"Detective Alice… Long time no see," the agent greeted them with a cold expression.
