Coincidentally, the day after Sareth and V arrived in this city, Dante and the others happened to return from the shop.
It could not be helped. Although they said that they had gone out to investigate the Demon Bible, they had not found anything. It was not a good thing that the shop had not opened for several days. When Sareth came to the human world, many demons had come out of the spatial rift. Although most of them had been eliminated, there were still sporadic demons and monsters scattered everywhere. These sporadic demons were still attacking humans and needed demon hunters to eliminate them. If they did not open the shop, the shop would not be able to receive any commissions.
After returning, Trish and Lady agreed to go shopping together to buy clothes, leaving Dante, the old man, alone to guard the shop without water or electricity. The only thing that could give Dante some comfort was that Trish promised to bring him a strawberry sundae later …

Walking into the shop, Dante looked at the dusty and dirty shop and sighed. He was hungry, so he picked up the pizza box on the table. There were still two pizzas left, but the problem was that they were from a few days ago, and they were already stinking. Dante smelled them and felt disgusted, so he could only throw them away.
Sitting down on the chair, Dante habitually crossed his feet on the desk. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, the door of the shop suddenly opened, and an old black gentleman with shiny skin walked in.
"Morrison? Your nose is really sharp. I just came back, and you came looking for me … "Seeing this old man, Dante was not surprised." Is there something good you're looking for me for? "
This old black man, Morrison, was the intelligence merchant who had been working with Dante and the others. He could be said to be resourceful and had connections with many demon hunter organizations in the underground world. Every time Morrison appeared in the shop, it meant that there might be a commission. For Dante, who did not have the money to pay the electricity and water bills, he was definitely the most welcome person.
Morrison chuckled and said, "You just came back? By the way, where have you been these past few days? The little lady, Patty, wanted to invite you to her birthday party, but she couldn't contact you at all, so she called me! "
"Stop joking, Morrison. You're a smart man. Don't tell me you don't know what I've been up to?" Dante spread his hands. He did not believe that Morrison did not know what he was doing. Then he said helplessly, "As for Patty … I really don't want to go …"
"Ha, who told you to spout nonsense?" Morrison took off the hat on his head and laughed. "What do you mean by dating her when she grows up? Have you ever thought that some words will be remembered by women forever?"
"Okay, okay, stop messing with me, Morrison …" Dante surrendered. "Why did you come to me?"
Morrison sat down on a bench at the side and said, "It's indeed good news. I've received a prepayment job here …"
"Oh?!" Dante was immediately interested. "Prepaid? I like this one. I need to turn on the water and flush the toilet … "
Indeed, not only was there a musty smell in Dante's shop, but there was also a faint stench from the toilet …
Morrison stood up, took out an envelope from his pocket, gestured to Dante, and then threw it on the table. "The water, electricity, and gas bills will all be deducted from your share!"
Just as Dante picked up the envelope, before he could open it, the lights in the shop suddenly lit up, and the electric fan above his head slowly rotated. The faint sound of water came from the toilet's flushing water tank, especially the neon sign outside with the big 'Devil' word.
The word "cry" flashed twice and lit up completely. It was as if the whole office had come to life at this moment.
"Oh …" Dante let out a long sigh. "I love this feeling …"
Morrison also nodded his head. He took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it up. "Now that your firm has reopened, let's meet the client!"
Dante looked at the door and saw that it was pushed open slightly. A black-haired man in a sleeveless leather coat with tattoos on his arms silently flashed in. He held a cane in his right hand and a poetry book in his left. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall by the door as he read.
Before Dante could ask, another figure came out from the crack in the door.
When he saw this figure, Dante's eyes almost popped out, and he blurted out, "Sareth?! Why is it you?! "
Sareth had Calamity on his waist and Executioner on his back. After entering, he looked around Dante's shop and curled his lips. "Do you think I want to appear in front of you? Your place is so lousy … Nero's place is better. "
The muscles on Dante's face twitched as he said with a headache, "Where did you learn the word 'lousy'?"
"Nico's!" Sareth shrugged, jumped slightly, and sat on Dante's desk.
Morrison looked at Sareth meaningfully, picked up his hat, and put it on. He said to Dante, "Okay, I'll go find Trish and Lady. They have to go too."
Hearing this, Dante could not care less about Sareth and quickly said to Morrison, "What?! Please, with me around, do you think this matter can't be settled? Can't you let me save some money? "
"This is a big case, Dante. You can't underestimate it. You need some helpers …" As he spoke, Morrison opened the door and walked out, completely ignoring Dante's request.
After Morrison left, Dante said helplessly, "Okay, Sareth, tell me. What made you come to make fun of me instead of staying at Nero's place?"
"I'm not making fun of you. I'm not that bored …" Sareth knocked on Dante's desk unhappily and gestured to V. "Let him tell you."
"Okay …" Dante looked at V, who was reading a book with his arms crossed, and said gloomily, "What's your name?"
V did not answer Dante. As he walked over, he read a sentence from the poem book. "'I have no name; I'm only two days old …'"
Not only was Dante speechless, but even Sareth was speechless. Although V had warned him not to expose his identity in front of Dante, thinking about it carefully, V's words were really appropriate. Wasn't he only two days old when he was separated?
Dante could not help but look at Sareth. Is your friend sick?
Sareth shrugged at him and did not say anything. But at this moment, V suddenly smiled. "I'm just joking. You can call me V …"
Although Sareth had been hanging and flying for the past two days, V's condition was much better than before. At least his skin was still glossy and no longer as pale as before. Although he still looked thin and weak, he at least looked like a normal person.
"Okay, V …" Dante leaned back in his chair and gestured with his hand. "Do you mind telling me about the case?"
"A … powerful demon is about to awaken. We need your help, Dante …" V said.
Dante chuckled and stood up from his chair. He planned to go to the fridge to get some beer. At the same time, he said, "These words sound familiar … You know, I've heard them many times."
"This time … it's a little different, Dante!" V turned around and faced Dante.
"Different? Okay, what's different? " Dante opened the cap of the beer, raised his head, and took a sip. He sat back in front of the desk and asked in a relaxed tone.
"This demon represents your 'reason' …" V pointed at Dante. "Your 'reason' to fight!"
"Oh?" After hearing V's words, Dante finally became interested. "Then, what's the name of this demon?"
After looking at Dante for a long time, V said a name under Dante's puzzled gaze, "Vergil!"
After hearing this name, Dante was stunned. Then he suddenly propped his hands on the desk, stood up from the chair, and stared at V. "What did you say? Say it again! "
"You didn't hear wrong, Dante!" V said calmly. "The name of this demon that's about to awaken is Vergil!"
"What's going on?!" Dante frowned. At this moment, he had swept away his decadent aura and became awe-inspiring, causing Sareth to be stunned. He did not expect the decadent uncle to have such an astonishing aura.
Next, V did not hide it from Dante and told him about Vergil transforming into a demon. But here, he hid the matter about himself and only said that Vergil had returned from the Demon World, taken back Yamato from Nero, and become a true demon. Moreover, he had become powerful and terrifying, and perhaps it would not be long before he appeared in front of the world.
The expression on Dante's face changed back and forth as he listened. He did not expect that such a huge thing would happen after he left Nero's place for just a few days. Moreover, in the past few days, he had been searching for possible news of Vergil. He thought that he had really found nothing, but he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, there would be a huge reversal.
"Is this true?" Dante looked at Sareth, hoping to get confirmation from him.
"It's true. Nero's right wrist was broken …" Sareth nodded. "It happened not long after you left. I don't know how Nero is now … I hope he's fine …"
"What about you? How did you get together with this … V? "Dante asked with a frown.
Sareth shrugged. "Don't look at me like that. I didn't take the opportunity to escape. No matter what, Nero took me in for a while … I wanted to help Nero take revenge, but that guy used Yamato to cut open space. After I chased after him, I found myself in an unfamiliar place. Finally, I met V and came back with him."
Sareth did not lie. This was indeed the case, but he also hid the fact that Vergil had used Yamato to separate him and did not expose V's true identity. This was what he and V had agreed on.
"Damn it!" After hearing this, Dante could not help but smash his fist on the table and say in annoyance, "This is really troublesome …"
Before Dante could decide what to do, the ground trembled all of a sudden. The tremors weren't intense, but they continued to tremble.
"An earthquake?" The three of them looked at the dust falling from above and could not help but feel puzzled.
However, they soon realized that this did not seem to be an earthquake in the ordinary sense because this tremor had been going on for more than ten minutes and had not stopped. Moreover, the magnitude of the tremor had been maintaining a relatively constant level. An ordinary earthquake would not be like this.
"What's going on?" The three of them were puzzled. They left the room and walked out onto the street. It was already dark, and no one could be seen on the street. However, because of the continuous tremors, they could hear panicked cries coming from the human residences all around.
At this moment, the roar of a motorcycle came. A cool motorcycle sped over and did a beautiful drift in front of the shop before stopping. After the car stopped, Trish and Lady took off their helmets and walked over quickly. As they walked, they shouted at Dante, "Oh no, Dante! Quickly watch TV! "
The five of them swarmed back into the shop. When Trish and Lady saw Sareth and V, the strangers, they did not even have the time to greet them. As soon as they entered, they went straight to where the television was. After turning on the television, they quickly tuned to the news channel.
The television was currently broadcasting a piece of news. In the picture, many people were fleeing in panic, and the houses in the distance were constantly collapsing. But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that a huge black shadow was continuously drilling out of the ground in the distance and spreading wantonly toward the sky.
This was the true epicenter of the earthquake. The city where Dante and the others were was just an aftershock …
Looking at the thing on the news screen, everyone was dumbfounded. "W-what is this?!"
