Modern World Warlock-Chapter 120: Zac’s Anger

When Zac and his group arrived at the construction site, the redhead wondered why such a big project had been abandoned.

Maya explained that the Jade Dragons used to fund residential projects in the Dewmore district when they were in control of the capital, and the unfinished building was one of the projects left after the Blood Dragons attacked.

It was meant to be the first of many they would build. However, all they could get done was the structure's frame before getting abandoned for lack of funding.

Camille could have kept funneling money into the project, but needing to keep a low profile, she couldn't continue any of the past Jade Dragons' projects until they retook control.

The agent's words seemed to have an effect on Zac, who glared angrily at the construction site, thinking of what could have been if more people from Dewmore had better lives.

"The mission is to clear everyone out… I'll go through the back with Megan, and Zac will take the front with Tyler…" Maya explained to the group, laying out her plans.

'Which Tyler?' Zac pondered, but when he saw the two of them standing beside him, he shrugged it off.

The construction site was surrounded by a tall, plastic wall, which was meant to keep pedestrians away. However, it also acted as a way for the criminals inside to hide their presence.

Law enforcement officers rarely made their way through Dewmore, so it was simple for a group of criminals to use any abandoned building as their base of operations.

Megan and Maya walked through a dried-out grassy patch to reach the back of the building's frame, where the brunette climbed up the wall to peek inside.

"I see four—Three on the ground and one in the upper level…" Megan muttered.

"Gotcha. I'll take the top one," Maya replied.

In a sudden burst, one of the large plastic tiles of the wall was forcefully pushed inside by Megan's kick.

Maya pulled out her silenced pistol and shot the man in the upper level right in the head, making the limp body fall to the ground floor.

Megan, using her customized gun, shot three bullets that landed on three heads, taking out the back guards in less than five seconds.

The plan was to meet in the center of the ground floor and use the ramp to go up, so the two women started making their way there, expecting to see Zac and the two Tylers.

However, as they got closer to the center, they could hear shots coming from the front of the construction site, followed by 'clink' sounds and grunts of pain.

"Go, go!" Maya hurried her partner, getting surprised when they reached Zac's group.

The redhead had seemingly gone mad as he was rushing through the entire site at incredible speeds, hitting the thugs in the face with his bat and obliterating their skulls with one strike.

One of the criminals unloaded his entire clip on Zac, but the man moved too fast and in an erratic way that made it impossible to get a hit, meeting the body of Zac's chromic bat with his face.

*Huff, puff* Zac took deep breaths as the last thug fell, suddenly coming to his senses and realizing what he had just done.

The redhead's body was trembling a little, but it wasn't from fear. 'What was what…?' he pondered.

Even though Zac was in a crazed state, he clearly remembered everything that happened in those few minutes.

He was thinking about Maya's story, about his mother, his friends, and his district being forgotten, making Zac feel an overwhelming sense of anger that he had never felt before.

At that moment, when the two Tylers brought down one of the plastic wall tiles, Zac's eyes were producing a red mist that seemingly clouded his vision.

He clenched his teeth and showed his strong bite like a wild animal, prompting the guards to start shooting at him.

Nonetheless, the redhead disappeared from his spot and emerged right beside the first criminal, using his bat to break his head.

The rest of the thugs followed, shooting their weapons to no avail as the redhead dominated the entire area with his speed and ferocity until they were all dead.

"Are you good?" Megan asked Zac, noticing the strain on his body as he was sweating quite profusely.

"I think so… I'm like—super tired, though," replied Zac in between deep breaths.

The group knew that Zac had done 'something,' but they couldn't figure out what it was, so they decided they would ask Dante later.

'Did I use magic? Was that some sort of ability…?' Zac continued pondering as he and his group cleared the building.

____________________

While Zac and his group completed their mission, Dante was flying alone through the city toward a warehouse that Camille had chosen.

Trinity was giving the warlock directions in his earpiece, and as he got closer to his destination, the hacker pondered where Nihilor was.

Since she had access to the live feed, she had seen everything that happened in the abandoned factory, and it was hard for the woman to believe everything she saw, even when it was documented live.

The warlock answered plainly and said that Nihilor was trapped, not wanting to give too much information to the hacker.

From Dante's perspective, he could easily choose who to trust by meeting them in person as he would instantly perceive their intentions.

He only trusted Trinity's words since Camille asked him to—and he trusted Camille.

However, Dante had never met, seen, or even heard Trinity's real voice, as she used a voice changer every time they spoke.

The warlock knew about her father being kidnapped, but even then, he didn't feel comfortable sharing information with someone he had never met.

["So, you are a warlock…?"] Trinity asked on his earpiece.

"Yep," Dante said.

["Cool… What else can you do?"] The hacker continued.

"Miss Trinity, don't get this the wrong way, but I don't really want to share anything about me with you… At least not now," replied Dante, his tone polite but severe.
