Should I Become a Villain?

Asher and Elias had been good friends since they had known since childhood. They could see that Cyril disliked them. However, they did not care about that because the IRO had advised all members not to bring personal matters into the organization.

"Would you like something to drink?" Cyril was the first to speak, as the two people in front of him said nothing.

"Thank you. But I don't think we need any drinks because our conversation won't be long," replied Asher, stopping Cyril who was about to call a servant to get tea and snacks.

After Cyril paid attention to him, he continued, "You must have known about what happened in Germany. Have you heard something from your father?"

Cyril came to know why Asher and Elias came to his house through this question. Their family was not active in IRO but owned a big company that made people at the IRO respect them.

When they did not get information from the Joint Committee, they always went to Cyril because his entire family was active in the IRO. Before the gate explosion occurred, his family was well-known in politics and was increasingly influential when the IRO was made.

"No, I haven't heard from him at all. I think my father is discussing the problem with the others," Cyril answered while looking at his cell phone, which did not receive any messages from anyone.

Elias looked disappointed when he heard that answer. Even though he was very curious, he could not force Cyril to contact his father to find out what the heads of the council were talking about.

"Do you have an opinion about who is behind that incident? You have access to all the data of evil awakeners around the world." Elias chose to ask something else because he felt uncomfortable if he left Cyril's house right now.

It would only make him and Asher look as if they came just to take advantage of Cyril. Even though it was the truth, they did not want to show it openly.

"I haven't had time to think about who is behind it. Moreover, the explosion of the gate just happened thirty minutes ago." Cyril hoped his guests would leave his house soon.

However, Asher did not want to make their meeting useless. At least he had to get one important piece of information from Cyril.

​ "If the gate explosion was indeed done by a human, then that person would at least have an explosion-related power. I know of one awakener with that power. Isn't he Chester from Kiss of Death?"

Cyril had been thinking about Chester since the gate explosion in Australia. Everyone must have thought like that because Chester had often blown up anything in the world since he became an awakener.

The assumption would make sense if Chester was an S-Rank. However, IRO predicted he would only get a B-Rank when he became a hunter.

The two gates that exploded were both mid-level with danger rank B+. It was a level that a B-Rank hunter could not overcome alone. Chester could only explode something weaker than him. Therefore, he was not the mastermind behind the incident.

"The IRO hasn't confirmed if Chester has become stronger. However, I'm sure he's not the culprit. He always uploads whatever he does on his social media." Cyril frowned when he remembered Chester had a social media account.

He had to report every time Chester had a new account. Even though the IRO had deactivated his account, Chester was always creating another account and getting attention by taking selfies in front of something or someone he blew up.

"It would be better if it was Chester or some other criminal in the IRO database," Elias sighed. "If there are new criminals, then we will have a hard time catching them."

The Dungeons and Gates Security Council were going to discuss Investigation Operations to find new criminals. The operation would not be completed in a short time if the person they were looking for was good at adapting.

"Can we leave?"

Finally, the question was asked by Asher. With a big smile on his face, Cyril nodded immediately. "Of course. You may leave now."

Asher and Elias smiled back, then left Cyril's house after saying goodbye. They cursed Cyril in their hearts for showing so openly that he did not like them.

Cyril, who was happy that the guests bothering him had left, immediately checked his cell phone to read a message. It was the message he had been waiting for a long time. However, his face did not show any happiness after reading the message.

[Master, there's a big problem. The head of the organization suddenly changed. I'll contact you in one week.]

That was the message sent by the spy. Cyril knew the spy would be out of contact for a week. He had told the spy to immediately delete the secret app from the IRO in case of any major problems.

They could not communicate through magic because the Kiss of Death had an item to detect mana. The spy was someone close to a member of the organization. He befriended one member to avoid suspicion.

If that person detected the spy's strange behavior, then the IRO's efforts all this time would have been in vain. Therefore, they were very careful in communicating. People would not be so suspicious if the spy played with his cell phone for a while.

Moreover, the members of Kiss of Death had known the spy, causing them to lower their guard. They would never have guessed that he was a spy because he had joined since the organization was first created.

"It sucks that I have to wait for a week," Cyril mumbled and thought about who could take Enrique's place in the organization.

***

Radmilo was leaving Adelaide city when he got a message from Carl telling him to come to the Tasmanian Devil guild building. He left without Joshua and Hannah because they still had to run the store.

When he arrived at the guild building, he accidentally bumped into Dianella, who had just gotten out of a car. It made them walk together because they both wanted to get into the building.

Even though they did not talk to each other, Radmilo could sense that Dianella was stealing glances at him. That girl must have behaved like that after what happened at the evacuation site.

"I'm sorry. But is there something you want to say? You've been staring at me ever since," Radmilo asked because he did not want Dianella to stare at him again. He was sure the girl would not find him rude just because he asked such a question.

"Stop daydreaming. I'm not looking at you." With a calm face and a calm voice, Dianella answered. She stopped staring at Radmilo because the man noticed her gesture. "I just saw your t-shirt. Nice outfit!"

Radmilo looked directly at his graphic t-shirt. It was a t-shirt that would not get praise from others. They would instead look at him with pity because he was wearing a t-shirt with a dragon print that had faded.

However, Radmilo chose not to mind Dianella's lies. He did not want to argue with the girl from the Smith family. If he did that, then everyone would stare at him with annoyance. Even the people around the guild building had noticed him ever since he walked with Dianella.

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop the chaos that night," Dianella spoke again with a new topic.

Radmilo, who remembered Gordan's mother, immediately shook his head. "You don't need to apologize. I can understand that. It must be hard for Mrs. Emma to accept her son's death."

"Gordan's death case is still being investigated. You might be dragged into it because you were among those who met him before he died."

"I know."

"Aren't you nervous?"

"Why should I be nervous if I'm innocent? The police can't arrest me without evidence."

Dianella glanced at Radmilo, who looked calm. The man responded quickly, as if he knew a conversation like this would happen. She did not know if the calm came from Radmilo believing himself to be innocent, or because he felt confident the police could not catch him.

When she was focused on guessing which one was correct, suddenly the floor of the building shook violently. Dianella became alert when she knew it was a sign that the gate was about to appear. The gates always appeared anywhere and anytime, so she did not feel surprised.

Tasmanian Devil would evacuate the victim and then move their office to another place. After the floor of the building shook violently, iron came out of it and formed a gate. Because the gate was big and tall, it destroyed most of the building.

While the people were screaming and getting out of the building, Radmilo just stood there because he realized something. Most of the gates that appeared did not immediately explode, allowing hunters to evacuate victims first. Unfortunately, the gate in this building showed signs of exploding.

Dianella also saw the signs and immediately dragged Radmilo away from the gate. "Could you tell people in my car to come here? They're the hunters from Team C. Bring them here while I'll evacuate the people who are still in the building!"
