Modern World Warlock-Chapter 161: The Leaders of the GTS

While Dante, Camille, and Megan exchanged information with the leaders of the Golden Twilight Syndicate, the warlock kept suspiciously squinting at the two blonde siblings.

Camille avoided mentioning demons but still revealed to the GTS that the Onyx Cartel was behind the creation of the Blood Dragons.

"We don't know their motives, but it seems they were trying their best to wipe us out without fighting us directly," Camille commented.

"It's the same for us—We only just recently discovered they were connected to the kidnapped tourists…" Melinda said.

She clarified her statement by saying that their advances towards their group weren't as substantial as it was for the Jade Dragons, as they hadn't had any large casualties. Still, the Autumn handler was afraid that they were just getting started.

The group decided to end the meeting early so that they could discuss the information, organizing a second one that would take place a few days later.

"We'll see you in three days. Enjoy New Arcadia," Melinda said with a friendly smile to Dante and his group before they left the building.

The trio didn't say a word until they arrived at their hotel, knowing that even the driver who took them there worked for the GTS, so they couldn't divulge information carelessly.

"Let's go to your room," Camille said.

When they arrived, Sophia was expectantly waiting for them, wanting to hear how the meeting went.

"Alright, Dante… Thoughts?" Camille asked the warlock as soon as the door closed behind them.

During the meeting, Dante didn't take his eyes off Curtis and Lindsey, the two leader siblings of GTS.

Camille and Megan noticed the warlock's strange demeanor, but they couldn't ask him what was wrong at the time, so they waited until they were alone to ask.

"Yeah… I was looking at the siblings' mana flow," Dante replied, inquisitively placing a hand on his chin.

The women wanted him to elaborate, so he explained that all living beings produced a little bit of mana in the same way they produced umbra.

However, while umbra was created from negative emotions, mana was a natural source that was constantly produced by living beings.

"The mana flow in Novis is very faint compared to this place… Probably since we are right next to the ocean, this area gets a nice supplement of mana from the environment," Dante elaborated.

Still, even though every human possessed a little bit of mana, the energy he detected flowing from the siblings was much stronger, so he suspected that they had had some sort of magical training.

Camille widened her eyes in disbelief, as she had never heard anything about the GTS being able to use magic. Nonetheless, Dante was utterly sure that a person with no magical knowledge could never have the mana pool the siblings had.

Hearing the warlock's words, Megan had a sudden flashback to her childhood to the day she met the siblings for the first time.

Megan was only ten years old at the time. Curtis was two years older than her, and Lindsey a year younger.

The brunette always thought that the siblings acted quite arrogant, so she tried to distance herself from them.

One night, when the GTS stayed at the Jade Dragons' residence as guests, Megan heard Lindsey crying to her brother, saying that her training wasn't going as planned.

The brother patted his sister on the head with encouragement, saying that he would help her practice.

'Maybe they aren't that bad…' Little Megan thought.

She never discovered what their training was about, thinking that it resembled the same type of combat training that Megan had been doing.

However, after their recent meeting and Dante's assessment, she pondered if those old memories had something to do with their current mana.

"It's very likely they were being taught magic… Their mana flow wasn't that big of a deal, but it was still a lot more powerful than a normal person's," Dante explained after hearing Megan's story.

"Dante, are you saying that someone like you is working with the GTS?" Camille inquired.

"Well, not exactly like me…" Dante clarified.

"I mean, from your world," the handler continued.

"It's very possible…" Dante said.

While Dante was able to control a little bit of mana, he was by no means a wizard, so he wasn't able to teach mana control to the people around him.

"Could it be that they have a wizard working with them?" Camille pondered aloud.

"I'm not sure… If it's a wizard, then they must be pretty knowledgeable," Dante commented.

"How so?" Asked the handler.

Dante continued explaining, saying that while the man had the mana of a wizard apprentice, the girl seemed to be an "elementalist."

An elementalist was a mage who could call upon the spirits of the four elements to help them, making any elemental spell they cast much more powerful.

"I can't see the elemental spirits as clearly as an elementalist, but I can still differentiate their mana pretty easily…" Dante elaborated.

"So, you are saying that Lindsey can see these spirits?" Megan asked, imagining the girl looking at ghosts.

Dante chuckled. "No, no. Elemental spirits don't have a body or face… I would say they look more like a firefly," he said.

"Hmm, I do remember that the members of the GTS would 'pray' to an entity called the Golden Fox… I always thought it was meant to be for good luck, but could that fox be a spirit?" Camille asked, trying to deduce an answer.

"No, a fox isn't an elemental spirit… Although, I've heard of a Golden Fox before," said Dante, rubbing his chin.

In the world of Terra, the Golden Fox was one of the Sacred Beasts, known to be an entity that brought good fortune to the people who saw her.

"Her?" Megan asked.

"Yes, the Golden Fox is a woman… I saw her one time when I was still a child," Dante replied.

"Hmm, this got a lot more interesting than what I expected…" Camille said with a slight smile on her face.
