Modern World Warlock-Chapter 63: The Omega Team

Once Camille had introduced all of the teams that were still working for the Jade Dragons, she stood in the center for everyone to listen to her words.

"I didn’t bring you all here to introduce you. I did it to inaugurate our new team formation!" the platinum-haired handler explained.

’Huh?’ Zac pondered, getting a bad feeling.

"From now on, Dante, Megan, and Zac will be the first members of Team Omega…" Camille continued.

Megan and the warlock didn’t seem to react to her words, but Zac looked utterly defeated.

"Right now, as you all know, we are going against something that isn’t exactly human…" Camille continued her explanation.

The handler said that if they went to war with the Blood Dragons without knowing what they were fighting against, it would most likely end with all of them dead.

However, now that certain individuals had gained superhuman abilities, she thought it best to keep them in the same specialized group.

"What do you say, Dante? Will you lead the Omega Team?" Camille asked the warlock, her eyes showing clear determination.

Dante let out a gentle smile. ’That confidence is quite contagious…’ he thought.

"I’ll do it," he replied, prompting the other teams to clap in celebration.

The Omega Team would be the group responsible for any supernatural encounter, a task that Dante and Megan had already been doing.

However, Zac didn’t comprehend why the handler lumped him in with the group, as he didn’t even consider himself part of Camille’s men.

"Umm…" The redhead muttered, raising his hand to ask the handler a question.

"Zac, come talk to me after this," Camille replied, not even giving him a moment to ask anything.

After the quick inauguration, the redhead followed Camille’s orders and went to her office at the top of the skyscraper.

The handler sat behind her desk, petting Cerberus on her lap with a nonchalant expression. Meanwhile, Zac nervously waited for the woman to say something.

"What are your plans after college?" Camille asked, keeping her gaze on Cerberus.

"Uhh… Get a job, make money, take care of my mother…" The redhead replied.

"So, are you not okay being a part of the Omega Team?"

"I-it’s not like that. I’m a bit honored you considered me… I just can’t compare to those two," Zac replied with a sad tone, looking down.

"Then why did you make that contract with Dante?" Camille continued asking, her attention now on the redhead.

"I… I wanted to protect someone. The contract seemed like my best option," he hesitantly replied.

Camille knew perfectly well that the person on Zac’s mind was Victoria, and she could tell that the redhead had a confidence problem, which wasn’t uncommon for someone who had been bullied while growing up in a poor district.

Still, Zac wasn’t an average person anymore, but she needed to have the redhead see that for himself.

"Do you think Victoria won’t be targeted again?" Camille asked, shocking the redhead.

"Sure, the individual harassing her is dead now, but the Scarlett Bullets still have their leader…" she continued explaining.

"Listen, Zac, I’m not trying to put you in a tough spot, but right now, you are one of the few people in this country who can even stand against these monsters…"

The handler elaborated, saying that if he hadn’t been at Firewater Nightclub, not only Victoria but Maya and Sophia could have died.

"I know it’s not easy to see your own potential when the people around you try to bury it. That’s why I think you would be a great addition to our team…"

The redhead clenched his pants with apprehension and anger. "M-my mother’s sickness…" he muttered, making the handler nod in understanding.

"Mhmm, we talked about this briefly before, but I think you are aware now that your mom’s sickness happened after she was given demon blood…" Camille said, prompting Zac to grit his teeth.

The handler had investigated Zac and his mother closely ever since he became Dante’s friend.

After the raid on the Devil’s Den nightclub, where Dante saved a group of drugged prostitutes, she noticed that their symptoms were exactly the same as Zac’s mother’s, making it almost impossible for it to be a coincidence.

When Zac made the contract with Dante, the thought of "revenge" never even crossed his mind. All he wanted was to protect Victoria.

However, the situation looked completely different now, as simply thinking of a demon cursing his mother made his body hot with rage.

Taking one deep breath to calm himself down, the redhead exhaled and locked eyes with the handler.

"I’ll do it… For my mother, for Victoria, and for my friends," he confidently said, making Camille smirk with satisfaction.

"It’s official now, then. Let’s build our easygoing, peaceful life!" the handler exclaimed enthusiastically, followed by a happy bark from Cerberus.

When Zac returned home, he found Dante and Krom playing video games in the living room, with Megan lazily lying on the couch watching their heated match.

In the kitchen, Sophia and Victoria were cooking dinner together with bright smiles on their faces, making the redhead stop momentarily to savor the serene environment.

’This is what I’m fighting to protect now…’ Zac thought with a gentle smile on his face.

"Krom, you keep doing the same move over and over…" Dante said with an annoyed tone, breaking Zac’s peace of mind.

"So? The game wouldn’t let me do it if it wasn’t allowed!" The imp replied with a smirk.

"He did the same thing to me!" Zac interjected.

"Hehehe, why are you guys so mad? Just learn how to counter my move!" Krom said, confidently putting his hands on his waist with a victorious pose.

Victoria gazed at the redhead discussing with the warlock and the imp, letting out a chuckle as she believed the sight to be quite funny.

’It was a bit hard to get used to the demon, but seeing them talking like that is pretty amusing…’ Victoria thought, chuckling to herself in the kitchen.
