Modern World Warlock-Chapter 184: Succubi Celebrities
After Dante and his group made a deal with the vampires to free Irina, they chose to give her away during the day so they wouldn't be at their full power.
At night, Irina was taken to one of the guest rooms in the tower, where Dante used his abyssal chains to ensnare her once more.
They couldn't risk having the vampire walking around the tower or escaping and revealing its location, so they had no other options but to bind her to a chair.
Irina seemed defeated and wasn't talking as much as when she got captured, so Dante turned her chair to face the TV mounted on the wall.
"There… It should be less boring like this," Dante commented, but the girl didn't seem interested in watching anything.
"Why didn't you just kill me?" Irina pondered aloud, making Dante raise an eyebrow.
"Because you attacked us with an aimless objective…" He replied, making the vampire turn her gaze towards him.
Dante briefly explained to Irina that he could read a person's intentions by simply looking at them, and he could tell that the vampires were following orders that they didn't necessarily want to do.
"It's pretty easy to tell the difference between someone who wants to kill me, someone who is prepared to die to kill me, and someone who doesn't even want to be there…" The warlock elaborated.
"What the hell are you?" Irina asked.
However, Dante decided not to answer that question since it wasn't part of their deal, grabbing the remote control for the TV and placing it right beside Irina's fingers, allowing her to change the channel if she wanted.
"See you tomorrow," he said, waving goodbye to the vampire and leaving the guest room.

While Dante and Megan were working as security guards for the band Smile, Lilith and her succubi were undertaking another mission that Camille had given them.
A new brand of perfume and clothing was about to open under Camille's ownership, and the succubus queen had been busy taking model pictures for the promotion of the company.
On the first day that Lilith showed up at the photo studio with her subordinates, the photographers were delighted to see such beautiful women.
It didn't even take a week for the promotional pictures to spread, making it to billboards on congested highways.
One of the giant billboards portrayed Lilith wearing lingerie and holding a perfume bottle in her hands with the word "Succubus," which was the name of the new perfume line.
It only took a few days for the pictures to go viral on the internet, and people were discussing the beautiful and mysterious model that appeared seemingly out of nowhere—Lilith.
Camille knew that the Succubus Queen's appearance would be enough to catch people's attention, but she wasn't expecting it to be so quick.
Moreover, Zarina and the other subordinates were also getting quite popular after modeling for the new clothing brand, which they called "Queen."
As the handler checked social media to see people's reactions to the models, she noticed that the succubi already had their own international fan club, which was a pleasant surprise for her.
"I thought it would take at least two months to get to this point… Not a few days," Camille commented.
The handler could tell that if they kept going at that rate, Lilith and her subordinates would start receiving offers from other agencies soon enough, which was their main objective.
Meanwhile, Zac had been training his abilities daily at the laboratory in the Jade Palace with Alice.
The ex-detective had gained the ability to slightly control umbra after she was exposed to Nihilor's blood, but she was nowhere near the level of the others.
Dante offered to make a contract with her the same way he had done with Zac and Megan, but Alice asked for some time to think about it.
However, seeing the difference in her skills with the redhead made her reconsider her decision, believing that making the contract wouldn't be a bad idea.
When Alice discussed it with June, she thought that her companion would be against the contract. Nevertheless, she was surprised to see that June was actually in favor of it.
The rookie didn't trust Dante a single bit at first, but after everything she had gone through with the warlock, she genuinely believed that he wasn't a bad person.
June used Zac and Megan as examples, talking about their abilities and how it was their trust in Dante that allowed them to grow so much.
"I wonder what kind of fighter you would become…" June commented, remembering how Zac was meant to be a dark warrior and Megan a dark rogue.
Alice decided to sleep it off and think about it in bed, and when she woke up, she had completely made up her mind.
"I'll do it…" she muttered to herself before getting out of bed.

Unfortunately, she chose her option when Dante wasn't in the city, as he was touring with the K-pop idols, so she had to patiently wait for his return.
Still, the fact that she had made up her mind gave her even more motivation when training at the lab.
Clara, Zac's mother, used all of her time training with the Shadow Well, cleansing the few soulstones that Dante left for her before going on the tour.
However, the woman ended up shattering expectations and managed to cleanse all of the soulstones in a few days.
Not wanting to stop her training while waiting for Dante to return, Clara thought she would experiment by producing healthstones, which required her blood to be poured into the well.
The woman knew that Dante didn't want to teach her this method so soon since he didn't want her to hurt herself when pouring out the blood. Still, Clara was determined to get stronger.
After the woman spent two hours synthesizing a single healthstone, her energy depleted considerably and made her faint from exhaustion, giving her a reality check on the ceiling of her abilities.
She remembered that Dante could make dozens of healthstones in one hour, so she decided to aim for the same heights.
