Modern World Warlock-Chapter 62: Allied Teams

After Lawrence gave all the information he had on the Scarlett Bullets, the group moved on to the analysis of the drugged thug’s corpse.

Paige had the body strapped on a hard bed, even though it wasn’t necessary since the monster was dead. Still, the scientist didn’t want to risk it.

"Krom, come here," Dante said aloud, making the imp appear with a ’poof’ right beside him.

"What!?" The imp asked with impatience.

"What do you think?" the warlock asked, pointing at the corpse on the testing table.

The little demon turned his head and cringed as he took a step back, detailing the asymmetrical body with an expression of disgust.

"So, these were the weirdos I sensed…" Krom muttered.

"Can you recognize whose blood they took?" Dante asked again.

The imp approached the corpse and raised his right arm, pointing a single claw at its chest and slowly inserting it, making the darkened blood ooze out.

Right as the blood of the deceased man made contact with Krom’s claw, the imp widened his eyes with fear and recoiled back.

"As-Astaroth…!" Krom exclaimed, holding his bloody claw with apprehension.

"Hmm, as I suspected…" Dante muttered, placing a hand on his chin.

"That’s the demon general you mentioned, correct?" Camille inquired, receiving an affirmative nod from the warlock.

"Okay. This is what we’ll do next…" the handler continued.

Lawrence told the group that Joseph had asked the Ruby Vipers for help after his first assassination attempt failed. However, he never received their support.

This meant that the Ruby Vipers were aware of their actions, and the handler suspected they would retaliate soon.

Moreover, the Red River gang had been completely eradicated by Camille’s men, which wouldn’t be overlooked by their higher-ups.

"Retaliation from them is pretty much inevitable…" the handler said, reminding them that they were staying in a bait house and they should be alert.

"Now that warfare will be more common, I want to introduce you guys to the rest of our teams. We wouldn’t want to have a misunderstanding in the middle of a shootout…" Camille said, guiding the group out of the lab.

"Our teams?" Dante asked with curiosity.

While they rode the elevator, Camille explained the hierarchy of power in her organization.

The Winter family used to be the guarantor for the Jade Dragons, which allowed them to do business with the other Stellar families.

"Stellar families?" Dante pondered.

"Even I know what that is, man…" Zac interjected.

The four Stellar families were known as the most powerful in the country, and each of these families was the guarantor of a mafia organization.

When the Blood Dragons took over the Jade Dragons’ spot, Camille never recognized them as such, keeping her support for the remaining survivors—Megan and Sophia.

"Why would they think that you were going to blindly help them after that?" Dante asked, noticing that Camille’s body produced an unnatural amount of umbra for her usual demeanor.

"That’s not really important right now. The point is that all of the specialized groups that worked for us back then stayed with us…" the handler explained, avoiding the warlock’s question.

The elevator left them at an expansive, empty parking lot, where a large group of people were patiently waiting for them.

As soon as they spotted Camille entering the area, the people gathered quickly and split into different batches.

"Thanks for coming, everyone. I know we’ve been pretty busy lately, but today is a special occasion," the handler said loudly for everyone in the parking lot to hear.

Zac felt a little nervous seeing the intimidating looks of the men and women that stood before them, but he got slightly more calm when he saw Maya and the two Tylers in one of the groups.

Camille introduced each group of people separately, starting with the ones who gathered on the left side.

"This is Team Alpha. They are our specialists in guerrilla warfare…" she said.

The team had a dozen members, with their leader standing in front. They wore tactical suits, bulletproof vests, and helmets with visors attached.

The leader introduced himself as "Alpha One," which was the codename he used as all of the members’ true identities were secret.

He was as tall as Dante, with short dark hair and an eyepatch on one eye, which didn’t fully cover the vertical scar that trailed behind it.

Camille told the group that the Alpha Team was the one responsible for eradicating the Red River gang.

After Dante raided the family home where a greater demon was hiding, Camille’s men found a hard drive with information on their other bases. Ever since then, the Alpha Team worked as exterminators.

Next was Team Beta, which only had one representative present—a bald man with a large frame wearing a black suit.

"This is Randy, the leader of the Beta Team. They specialize in internal security, so I couldn’t bring the entire group here, or the building would have been unguarded…" Camille said.

Besides Randy, a group of six people waited patiently for their turn, getting introduced to the warlock as the Delta Team, also known as the "hacker team" for Camille.

"Team Delta doesn’t have a leader. They handle all cybersecurity issues independently," the handler explained.

Standing next to the hackers, Maya waited for her turn, tapping her foot impatiently, while the two Tylers stood beside her with indifferent expressions.

"You already know these guys, but they are Team Gamma. They are our infiltration and assassination team…" Camille said.

’These few people…?’ Zac pondered.

Even though he knew that Tyler and Maya were experienced, he thought that having only three people on their team was too little for the jobs they took.

The handler quickly explained that Team Gamma used to have a dozen members, but most of them perished when the Blood Dragons raided them years ago.

Standing next to the pink-haired agent, a group of men wearing nice, expensive suits showed reverence when Camille approached them.

The handler introduced them as Team Epsilon, who were pawns that had infiltrated high-rank government positions.

Dante didn’t seem too surprised by Team Epsilon, but Zac and Victoria were quite perplexed.

It was hard to believe that one of its members was a mayor for a district in Novis and another was a representative who worked closely with the prime minister.

Next to the fancy middle-aged men in suits, Paige took deep puffs of her cigarette, muttering under her breath that she wanted to return to the lab.

"This is Team Zeta. You already know them, but they are our research team," Camille said.

Paige led the Zeta Team, which had ten other scientists working under her. However, Paige didn’t care about leadership and was more focused on her own inventions than guiding her group.

"Last but not least, we have Team Kappa…" Camille continued while guiding Dante’s group to the right side.

The Kappa Team was known as the "extraction and clean-up team."

They were the ones who picked up Dante and Megan from their missions and deleted any evidence that they were there.

The team was led by "Neil," who seemed like a man in his mid-thirties with blonde hair, light-colored eyes, and a lean physique.

"After all those jobs, it’s nice to finally meet you," Neil said to Dante and his group with a soft tone of voice and a warm smile.
