Modern World Warlock-Chapter 155: The Jade Palace

The day after Dante moved to the new residence with the rest of his group, they gathered around the entrance gates for Camille to reveal the name of the building.

When the handler dropped the mantle covering the name, they were able to see the carving with emerald dragons reading "The Jade Palace."

The group cheered and returned to their rooms to keep unpacking their stuff, but Dante didn't have much to unpack, so he simply lay in bed playing with his BeamDeck.

The master bedroom that Dante was sharing with Megan and Sophia was the largest in the entire mansion, and it was almost the size of the apartment where Dante first lived with them.

All of the bedrooms had their own individual bathrooms, but the one in Dante's room was larger than the others, with two sinks, a shower, and a tub.

After he helped his two roommates unpack for a bit, Dante walked outside to the common area of the northern bedrooms and spotted Zac moving a few boxes two doors away from him.

"Need help?" Dante asked his friend.

"I got it—I only have these boxes left…" Zac replied, stacking three heavy boxes on top of each other and carrying them inside his room.

Dante followed him inside out of curiosity, wanting to see how he was laying out his room, and noticed that he was hanging a large TV on his wall with his gaming console beneath it.

"Nice…" Dante muttered.

"Right? And I'll save that space in the corner for a gaming PC!" Zac commented with excitement.

"By the way, which room are you taking?" the redhead asked.

"Oh, I'm in the master bedroom," Dante casually replied.

Zac squinted his eyes and stared at the warlock. "Isn't that Megan and Sophia's room?" he asked with suspicion in his voice.

"Mhmm, they asked me to share it with them, and the bed is huge, so I don't see why not…" Dante continued, his tone somewhat indifferent.

"Dude…" Zac muttered, looking down at the floor as the shadows covered his eyes.

"You can't keep getting away with this!" The redhead exclaimed.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Dante asked confusedly, as he genuinely didn't know what his friend meant.

"Oh, come on!" Zac scoffed, placing his palm on his face with jealousy.

After the pair left the room, they saw Victoria moving her things into the bedroom beside them, making Zac offer his help with a bit of embarrassment.

Dante also helped move a few boxes until they were interrupted by Saris, who was taking a stroll around the residence.

"I see… So, these are our new rooms," the banshee muttered.

"Did you pick your room?" Dante asked the demon.

"Hmm, I could just share the room with the berserker boy…" Saris replied indifferently.

Victoria, hearing her words, widened her eyes with shock as her face blushed, gazing at the banshee.

"Y-You can't do that!" Victoria exclaimed.

"I-if you really need a roommate, then you can share this room with me…" the woman continued.

In Victoria's mind, it would have been better if the beautiful banshee had slept in the same room as her, as she didn't know what her intentions were with Zac.

Dante could sense the small amount of jealousy flowing from Victoria's umbra, so he decided to help her out and agreed with her suggestion.

"Hoh? So, It's like that…" Saris muttered, followed by her accepting Victoria's offer.

'They've gotten pretty friendly with each other… I'm glad,' Zac thought, unaware of the mental battle that the women were having.

The two ex-detectives, Alice and June, arrived shortly after at the common area of the northern bedrooms, instantly choosing an empty room for the two of them without overthinking it.

Even after their case had been cleared with June no longer being on a wanted list and Alice's disappearance solved, the two women decided they would stay working with the Jade Dragons.

They knew that the government had thoroughly cleansed the police department, so it would be extremely rare for them to be betrayed again.

Nevertheless, they decided they could do more good for the people of Novis if they worked for the Jade Dragons than staying as detectives, and Camille happily took them in.

However, since Alice was awakening some signs of umbra control, she was placed in the Omega Team, while June was placed in the Gamma Team under Maya's supervision.

Later at night, Dante, Zac, and Krom walked to the north side of the mansion, where the "games room" was located.

There was a pool table, an air hockey table, a dance-pad game, a pinball machine, a few other arcade games, and a large TV with gaming consoles connected to it.

While the three of them sat on a couple of bean bags and played for hours, Sophia paid a visit to Camille in the briefing room.

Camille had taken the master bedroom on the southern side, and her new office, which she would use often, was the briefing room in the center of the mansion.

"Hey, Sophie—What's up?" The handler greeted the blonde as she stepped in.

"Cami, I was thinking… I promised Dante that we would go to the beach after this whole ordeal was over," Sophia commented, sitting down before the handler.

Now that their war with the Blood Dragons was over and the college semester was coming to an end, Sophia believed that it was the perfect time to go.

The blonde thought that Camille would decline at first as she seemed to be quite busy with some paperwork. However, the handler's eyes widened with revelation.

"That's a great idea, Sophie!" Camille exclaimed.

"It is!?" Sophia asked back, slightly surprised at her reaction.

"Well, to be honest—I do have some business in New Arcadia, so we could shoot two birds with one stone if we go with your plan…" Camille explained.

The blonde felt glad that Camille agreed so easily to take a vacation, even if the handler had her own motives for attending.

"I'll let the others know!" The blonde said with enthusiasm.

Camille glanced at Cerberus, peacefully sleeping on a small bed beside her desk, and let out a gentle smile.

"Seems like we are going on a trip…" The woman commented, prompting the puppy to yawn with disinterest.

Still, Cerberus' carefree attitude wasn't something she disliked about the puppy, making her chuckle as she thought it was cute.
