Modern World Warlock-Chapter 178: The Perverted Movie Producer

Somewhere in the northern territories of Novaria, behind a giant billboard overlooking a lone highway, two shadows suddenly appeared and materialized the two assailants who tried to fight Dante.

*Gasp!* "Laurent, what the fuck was that!?" The girl angrily shouted, desperately catching her breath.

"I’m not sure… It felt like we were fighting a demon," Laurent replied.

After the two attackers used their gemstones to escape the area, they were taken ten kilometers away from their last location.

"Ugh, that was the first time I had to use my ruby…" The girl commented with a frown.

"Hmm, now we know they have a demon working for them… If we can avoid him, then we can still complete the task," the man said, rubbing his chin.

The scratches and bruises that were left from Dante’s encounter started to slowly heal up, prompting the pair to jump down the billboard.

Laurent explained that the document they were given said that the band would stay at Ventis for three days, so they still had time to come up with a plan to avoid the supposed demon.

"Should we tell Mother about this?" The woman asked.

"Let’s not bother her with these trivial missions… The demon caught us by surprise that time, so let’s come up with something different," he replied.

When the tour bus arrived in Ventis late at night, the group was taken to their hotel rooms, where they slept for a few hours before it was time to take the band members to their meet-and-greet.

Fortunately, the event took place during the day, which was beneficial for them since vampires couldn’t use their full strength under the sunlight.

Dante knew that the best way to fight a vampire was to catch them during the daytime. The problem was actually finding them at those times.

Still, he didn’t let his guard down and scrutinized every single fan who approached the band to ask for their autographs, reading their flow of umbra with his utmost attention.

By the time the event was over, the group went back to the hotel to have lunch and rest until nighttime, when they got dressed to go to the formal party.

The host was a man called "Jerry Jenkins," who was known to be one of the biggest movie producers in the world.

Jerry invited the members of Smile to his party to break a deal with Kim Mi-Yun and have her perform in some of his films.

When the group arrived, they were glad to see that the paparazzi weren’t allowed on the premises, and Megan noticed other movie stars and music artists among the crowd.

Although the brunette was uninterested in popular figures, she was still surprised to see so many of them gathered in one place.

After the band walked through a beautifully decorated garden leading to the front door, they were received by none other than the host himself, Jerry Jenkins.

As soon as the man greeted the idols, Dante scoffed and frowned, catching Megan’s attention.

"What is it?" Megan whispered to the warlock.

"This guy reeks…" Dante replied.

Jerry greeted all of the band members individually and shook their hands, utterly ignoring the two security guards behind them. Still, neither Dante nor Megan were offended by that.

"Let me give you guys a quick tour of my home!" Jerry said.

During their walk, the group passed by an open bar serving drinks, where Jerry raised his hand to order one for each of the idols.

Dante noticed a fluctuation in the man’s umbra, and just as the women received their drinks, he stepped before them and asked them not to drink it.

The warlock spoke in Korean so that Jerry wouldn’t understand him, and surprisingly, the idols heeded his words and made an excuse that they couldn’t drink a day before their concert.

Jerry seemed annoyed at Dante’s intervention, but the warlock kept his polite act and explained that the ladies had to be in their top shape for the show.

"Did they spike the drinks?" Megan asked the warlock, whispering.

"I’m not sure what they did, but I know for sure that they did something weird," he replied.

The two securities were now paying even more attention to their surroundings, walking closely behind the band as they were taken for a stroll around the residence.

When the group returned to the living room filled with guests, Jerry invited Kim Mi-Yun to his office, saying that he wanted to propose a deal for a role in his movies.

Kim Mi-Yun hesitantly agreed to the invitation, and as Jerry guided her to his office, Dante walked closely behind her while Megan stayed with the rest of the band.

Jerry was so entranced in his plan that he didn’t notice the warlock following them until they entered the room.

"Do you mind? This is a private meeting," Jerry said to Dante, waving his arm as if shooing him away.

"No problem, sir. Part of my job is being discreet—You won’t even notice I’m here…" Dante politely replied without moving an inch from his spot.

Dante could see the evident ill intent in Jerry’s umbra, so there was no chance that he would leave Kim Mi-Yun alone with him.

"You are just a mere security guard. Don’t you know who I am? I’m Jerry fuckin’ Jenkins! If I tell you to leave, you get out… Capicci?" The man said, clearly angry at Dante.

The warlock calmly turned his head to look at Kim Mi-Yun, giving her a gentle smile and asking her to step outside the office for a moment in Korean, to which the woman agreed with a nod.

"Where is she going!?" Jerry asked loudly.

As soon as the girl stepped outside the office, Dante closed and locked the door, prompting Jerry to start sweating nervously.

Taking a few calculated steps forward, the warlock stood before Jerry, who was one head shorter than him, staring him down with his intimidating crimson eyes.

"What’s wrong, fool? You were speaking to me so high and mighty mere seconds ago…" Dante muttered in the man’s ear, letting out an evil grin that gave him shivers and froze him in fear.

"This is what you are going to do… You will give Miss Kim Mi-Yun the role in your movie, and you are going to pay her triple the amount you had planned…" Dante said.

"Also, you are not allowed to see her, ever… If you break any of these conditions," he continued, locking his eyes with the shivering man.

"I’ll show you hell," Dante uttered, his deep tone of voice resonating inside Jerry’s head.
