The Cartel’s Proposal

As the Summer handler stepped out into the open parking lot with the two representatives from the Onyx Cartel, he briefly introduced himself before presenting his companions.

The black-haired man was Don Ruben Cortez, and the man beside him was Don Darius Alcala, two of the leaders of the cartel.

Still, even after introducing themselves with those names, Dante could tell it wasn't the real Darius.

He didn't know Ruben, but the fact he was an undead made the warlock suspect that someone else's soul had taken over the body.

In Dante's eyes, he was standing before a powerful wizard and necromancer, feeling a bit nervous as their power levels were comparable to his.

'My entire being is screaming that is Netherius… But how!?' Dante wrestled with his emotions, desperately trying to keep his suppressed umbra from leaking out.

Camille, noticing the warlock's unease, thought they should keep the meeting short.
