"You really did a number on her"

Nyx said as she marveled at the scene before her, Morgana who had appeared with stone cold confidence and pride, bearing a power that even she could not see past- that Morgana now laid sprawled on top of Richard.

The two were still connected, Arthur was not present and so were the other witches.

Only Nyx, Richard and Morgana remained in the manor which confused Richard.

"What happened?"

He asked, his mind going through all the possibilities then he felt it. His phone blew up and Nyx did not answer, only gave him a signal to look at his phone.

Richard hesitated but only for a moment before he pulled out the black phone and the moment he opened it through the biometric lock-

[WITCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD]

[Governments all over the world are in chaos! Real Magic! Real Mystics! Real Monsters! Statements on actions to be taken, the US declares all "Magical Beings" as "threats to national security!]

[Damien Dixon Alive! The real face of billionaires! Vampires among the Rich!]

Without him doing anything, his phone immediately opened up tabs, news articles and other sources for information. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Hackers?"

Richard did not set his phone up to do that, it just did it all on its own. Immediately he thought of hackers but there was no reason to attack him so-

"Yeah, and they’re attacking everyone who has a phone, computer and even TV- by the way, love what you did to Morgana, I would love to try out your techniques that turned a legendary witch into dumb b*tch but this isn’t the time for that"

The one to answer Richard was a woman he was all too familiar with, Yuna with her long pink hair that gleamed in the sunlight and her dress was as seductive as ever. But her expression showed intense fatigue, a curiosity as she always made sure to maintain an air of elegance.

"Things made a turn for the worst, the US mystical community is under heavy fire, a war is happening and only those involved know because Salem and Nova Munda were already in hiding from the beginning, the FMC... let’s just say they were wiped out within the first hour-"

Tanya, a familiar yet unexpected face also appeared, like Yuna she also had an exhausted look on her face.

"Our identities are already compromised, Cindy was even sent an email about her prolonged absence, someone tipped off the school about her spell and the moment it was broken her lies were immediately revealed."

Hana also spoke up again, appearing out of nowhere, it seems like mystics really do love appearing out of nowhere.

"Can’t you just show up like normal?"

Richard said with a sigh, turning around to meet the eyes of the three women who hid in the shadows of the manor.

"Speak for yourself"

But Hana was the one to respond to him pointing towards the witch on his lap.

While Richard and Morgana were not naked, their bodies were still covered in sweat. It was so bad that even Richard’s thick clothes were soaked like he had just taken a dip in a pool with his clothes on.

The fact that he was that drenched in sweat, not to mention, the strong scent of lust that assaulted everyone’s noses the moment appeared was an even bigger factor as to why they hid.

Richard had already gotten used to the smell, he was drenched in it for a couple of hours now so to Richard, the fresh air was pleasant but it also made him realize how bad the scent of s*x was.

"What the fuck did you do?"

Tanya asked, her face showing a hint of fear looking at Morgana’s stupid expression.

"She assaulted me first! I simply fought back!"

He replied, although it looked really bad. The truth was that Morgana was the one who attacked him. She was the one who started it and all Richard did was outdo her-

"Ever heard of Excessive use of Force? Self-Defence as an excuse could only go so far"

Tanya responded to Richard without even trying to listen to his points.

She was not being biased since Morgana was a woman. In fact, she felt happy to see the immortal wench be done in the way she was.

But that didn’t change the fact that Morgana was done in by Richard.

Moreover, she herself had previously tried to tempt Richard.

The last time, Richard was wary and he clearly didn’t want to make a mistake and fall into a trap.

But the sight before he showed that Richard had not only found a way to resist and protect himself from traps. He also had a way to turn a trap into an opportunity and Tanya was sure that she won’t be able to fight back- after all, she was not as strong as Morgana.

"She liked it though? She only resisted to take the dominant position, it was a battle for dominance and I won"

"Yeah, clearly"

Tanya did not talk anymore as she backed away, clearly showing her distaste for the sight before her but unlike her Yuna inched forward.

The asian baddie took a whiff of the strong odor of lust and licked her lips.

"Really, I would have offered you my ass if we weren’t in a bad position"

Richard physically reeled back from her words and actions but that didn’t stop him from noticing the clear hints that the three women were giving him.

"Really... What the hell is going on?"

Richard had to fix himself up before doing anything. They moved the meeting from the manor’s yard to a meeting room.

Unfortunately, Morgana seemed to have recovered and she was still trying to release her pent up stress from the centuries of being a single wench.

*shlurp* *shlurp* *shlurp*

While the scary witch was giving Richard head, the three women chose to ignore the scene. Hana sat next to Tanya who was seated opposite of Richard while Yuna sat next to him.

Moreover, Yuna seemed to have gotten a bit too stimulated and Richard had to deal with her frustrations as well.

The Korean seer clung to Richard as his hand slid in between her thighs and Tanya started to explain the whole situation.

While all this was happening, Nyx was looking for the witches and Arthur who had left the manor hours ago.

Richard listened to the detailed account that Tanya gave him alongside the additional information that Hana provided.

What he learned from them was... disastrous.

The articles that were popping up on his phone were nothing more than the tip of the iceberg.

Tanya detailed how her people were systematically hunted down and only the core members of Nova Munda that were hiding in the various reserves and uninhabited or abandoned lands in the US countryside, forests and mountains were still safe.

Moreover, Salem made a huge move, they activated their protest movements.

College kids, professors and professional protesters started rallies that targeted political parties and politicians.

They desperately tried to make the "Revelation of Mystical Powers" as nothing more than a government Hoax.

Online, their people were making up jokes about Area 51, aliens and many other "mysterious cases".

Some went as far as to blame "secret military operations" or "secret government programs" for the "Magical Scare".

Unfortunately, Salem’s information was revealed as the FMC had long been fighting and learning about the witches.

The first to fall was the FMC that was connected to the US government and had their entire database and information network seized.

All the information held by the FMC was declassified and leaders of the FMC were made to make public statements.

The white house went as far as to show off the power that the MC had.

Magical armaments that turned regular small caliber pistols into anti-material weapons. Anti-tank rifles turning into guided missile launchers.

Hana even showed the recording of the whole event done in the wee hours of the morning.

"Washington really ignored showing off their power and did a public show early in the morning..."

Richard sighed after watching the recording, it was actually normal for governments to respond late.

In fact, responding late- at least, publicly was a "show of control". By acting on the "government time" which usually went from 8am to 5pm, the government shows a calm image which makes a show of "We’re not in trouble, it’s just a regular tuesday".

But the fact that the White House went as far as to showcase the reality of things in a rush means something.

Normally, the leadership does its best to make people calm down and believe things were "under control" but this time-

"The US Government is using the public, they want the mystics and their allies to turn on each other. They even went as far as to declare the mystics, especially the witches of Salem as terrorist"

"Didn’t anyone point out the Salem Witch trials?"

"The FMC has a record of how the Salem Witches used lies and even made scapegoats of the victims. The victims of the trials "were not witches" the real witches escaped and continue to cause harm"

Richard didn’t know what to say, things were really getting out of hand.

"That’s not all is it?"

But he knew there was something more to it and as he expected Tanya started to give more information on the problem-

"A bunch of madmen started up a "Crusade", it started in the US, kids with guns wore crosses and are now going around hunting people randomly. Unfortunately, most of the people they targeted had no connection to mystics but no one could prove that."

"What the hell is the government doing?"

"They’re stopping the vigilantes and publishing public information on the witches but many of the identities are false or stolen. There are a ton of homeless people are getting shot because the witches and other mystics used their identities"

Tanya’s words revealed not only problems from the non-mystics but also some inherent problems with the mystical community.

"You used the identity of homeless people?"

"That’s not the point-"

"It is though? The Mystical Community has been doing what many would call "acts of evil" for years- this is just you getting hit by karma"

"That Karma is going your way too though"

"..."

Richard went silent and instead of speaking, his hand grabbed the back of Morgana’s head pulling her down thrusting his d*ck deep in her throat.

He turned to Yuna and the moment he did-

"We moved legally, you know? Asians are very superstitious and working as a psychic is not that rare"

Richard didn’t press her any further, he calmed his mind and tried to think of how to proceed from now on when-

*BOOM*

"What?"

*Bang*

Cindy rushed into the room, her face was covered with a look of panic and she only said one word-

"Military"
