Modern World Warlock-Chapter 149: The Morning After

The morning after the incident, Zac woke up in a guest room in Camille's tower, which resembled a high-class hotel suite.

As the redhead stirred, he saw Victoria leaning on the side of his bed, sleeping peacefully.

'Was she here the whole night?' he thought, slightly blushing.

Zac couldn't remember anything after leaving Highpoint Town in an SUV, so he deduced that he had fallen asleep since he was quite exhausted and was later brought to Camille's tower to rest.

The rustle on the bed made Victoria open her eyes, looking up at Zac, who was sitting upright, inspecting his body.

"Oh, good morning…-" Zac said, his words getting interrupted by Victoria's tight hug as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

The redhead blushed, slightly confused at the woman's affection but glad that she was pressing her body against his.

"I'm so happy you are okay," Victoria muttered.

"Mhmm, I'm perfectly fine—See?" Zac commented, comfortably rotating his arm.

When he looked down at his body again, he realized he wasn't wearing a shirt and got a bit embarrassed. However, Victoria had already taken a peek at his defined physique.

With a soft touch, the woman placed a finger on the redhead's left shoulder, where he had a long scar.

"Ah, I guess this didn't completely heal up…" Zac said, spotting the scar.

It was the same place where the wraith buried its scythe, and it seemed like Dante's healthstone wasn't able to leave his body unmarked.

"Does it hurt?" Victoria asked, gently caressing the scar with her fingers.

"N-no," he replied, his face utterly red.

The pair locked eyes with each other and got their faces closer together as Victoria leaned slightly above the bed.

*Knock, knock, knock…* A loud sound came from the door, instantly getting slammed open as Asher and Amara ran inside.

"We bring food!" The harpion girl exclaimed.

"Hmm? Big Bro Zac looks more red than ever, haha!" Asher said with a chuckle.

When Rina and Rona entered the room after the twins, they spotted Zac and Victoria holding hands on the bed, making the servants understand the situation.

However, even though the two servers gave them their privacy, the two harpion twins decided to stay in their room to play.

Megan woke up in another guest's room in the skyscraper, tiredly opening her eyes and staring at the ceiling for a few seconds.

Seeing a soft arm wrapped around her, Megan turned to see Sophia sleeping peacefully beside her, making her smile with relief.

When she turned to the other side, she spotted Dante sleeping on a chair facing the bed with his arms crossed.

After the brunette got inside an SUV to leave Highpoint Town, she fell asleep and couldn't remember being taken to the bed.

Sophia opened her eyes slightly and noticed that Megan was awake, lovingly tightening her grip around her.

"Good morning…" Megan muttered, making Sophia smile while comfortably placing her head on the brunette's chest.

Dante opened his eyes shortly after, letting out a smile of relief after seeing the two women happily sitting up on the bed.

"Did you spend the night there?" Megan asked the warlock.

"Hmm? Yeah… This seat is quite comfortable," he replied.

"You could've just hopped in the bed…" Megan commented. Her words were flirtatious, but her demeanor was cold, as always.

"I'll keep that in mind for next time," said Dante with a slight smile.

"How did everything go after I passed out?" Megan asked.

"Pretty good. I'm sure Camille will give everyone a summary later…" Dante replied.

Megan let out a long sigh and flopped back down on the bed, saying that she wanted to sleep for a few more hours. However, she was interrupted by the teenagers knocking on the door.

Tommy and Lina entered first, with Jake rolling a tray filled with food for the trio.

"Sis, you are okay!" Lina exclaimed, approaching Megan with a worried expression.

'Sis…?' Megan pondered.

When Lina got closer and noticed that both Megan and Sophia were wearing loose tank tops with no bra underneath, she quickly ordered the boys to turn around and not peek.

Dante wasn't paying attention to the women's attire, but he still followed the girl's command and turned his head to the other side with both Jake and Tommy.

"Alright, you can turn now," Lina said.

The teenagers were wholly embarrassed by the fact that two beautiful women were changing clothes behind them. The warlock, on the other hand, seemed to have his mind somewhere else.

After the group had breakfast inside the guest's room, they made their way to an ample living room space located on another floor of the building.

It was an area where Camille used to conduct casual business meetings whenever she didn't want to bring visitors to her office.

The room was spacious, with couches and coffee tables on the side and a large screen at the back.

Dante and his group were the first to arrive, and Megan wondered why they were using that room since Camille always called them to her office.

"Well, I've had this feeling that you want to ask me something…" Dante replied, making both Megan and Sophia slightly shocked.

"I feel like I've learned a lot about all of you in the past few months, but you still seem to have some doubts about me," he continued.

"I-it's not like we don't trust you or anything…" Sophia interjected, her voice a bit apprehensive.

"I know… That's what I mean—You do trust me, and knowing so little about me is frustrating," Dante explained.

The reason Camille had called everyone to the large meeting room was because Dante had requested it, wanting to be more open about his past to his friends.

The warlock clarified that he was never opposed to talking about himself, but he genuinely believed that nobody would care to hear such stories.

However, as they grew closer, Dante could sense his group having more concerns about him—not because they didn't trust him, but because it felt like they didn't know him.

Moreover, he said he had to talk with Paige and the rest of the Zeta Team about the findings in the cathedral, so having a large area to discuss it would be better.

"If this will make your concerns less bothersome, then I don't see why I wouldn't answer any question you had for me…" Dante continued.

While Sophia had been more open about her wishes to know the warlock better, Megan secretly wanted the same thing and felt a bit flustered after realizing that Dante could always tell.
