Chapter 60 President Of The IRO
The main members were aware of the IRO's emergency meeting. Nonetheless, they did not expect the new leader to bring up that.
Radmilo unexpectedly killed Enrique and offered contracts to them, which caused some confusion. As a result, they expected him to manage the organization first before moving on to something bigger.
"What are your plans?" Rogelio mustered the courage to approach Radmilo.
He rarely spoke and preferred to observe the situation. He had to speak up now because he did not want to attend the IRO's emergency meeting. His power was accuracy. He could use any weapon and be always precise.
Unfortunately, Rogelio's power was limited to defeating many powerful opponents. He could not stand the security team that was escorting all the IRO members. If he caused a fight at their meeting, then he would be the first to die because the security team was faster than him.
"I want to kill someone or maybe a few people," Radmilo replied, leaving everyone in the room puzzled.
Elena thought it was a bad idea. She did not want to lose her life because of that plan. "The emergency meeting is not like any other meeting. The IRO's top official will also be present. Do you have any idea what power he has?"
President of the IRO. It was a position that no ordinary person could get. It was also not a position that could be held forever. The president of the organization would change when people thought he was not making good progress in the organization.
The first person to serve as president was Virgil Grant. He awakened with the power of 'peeking'. He could see other people's information, including their names, past, strengths, and backgrounds.
The IRO was safe from spies or bad people because of Virgil's powers. He had to give up on his position because he could not handle the Carys Rare Disease case. People then voted for Tyrone Rivera to take over as president.
Tyrone came from a good family. Moreover, he also had the 'Power Barrier'. It enabled him to build a barrier that could withstand any power.
When he activated his power, no one could use their powers on him. Tyrone also could give his barrier to others. Because of that, he was touted as one of the strongest awakeners in the world.
Tyrone kept up his power with lots of practice. Thus, he was not so easy to beat. Another fact about him was that he had never lost a battle, either against humans or monsters.
In short, Tyrone Rivera was a nightmare for all his opponents. They could not use their power on the man. Also, they had no chance of winning because Tyrone was superior to them in every way.
"I already know about that old man. So, what's the problem?" Radmilo finally responded after being silent for a few moments.
The main members looked at him as if to say that he had lost his mind. Evil organizations would not want to breathe the same air as Tyrone. They would rather be called cowards than have to fight with him.
Accordingly, the indifference on Radmilo's face made everyone think he was too arrogant. The man was indeed strong because he could control time. His power, however, would be rendered useless when Tyrone activated the Power Barrier.
"Listen, the president will activate his barrier during the emergency meeting. We have no chance to mess up there," Muramasa gave his opinion, as he did not want to die young.
The other main members appeared to agree with him. They hoped their new leader would think twice about ruining the IRO's emergency meeting.
Radmilo, on the other hand, would not pay heed to what others thought. "I just need to kill Tyrone and the problem is solved," he said, tapping on the table.
"How do you do that?" Rogelio asked, skeptical about the plan to kill Tyrone.
Radmilo then looked at Elena, who had a suspicious expression on her face. "We have Miss Elena who can teleport me to Tyrone's place!"
Tyrone's assassination plot was a bad idea. Elena would never agree to such a plan. What if Tyrone turned out to use his power so Radmilo could not control time?
Kiss of Death's new leader would be defeated. As Elena was thinking about that, she suddenly realized something. If Radmilo died at Tyrone's hands, then she and the other main members could be free from that crazy guy.
The others appeared to have noticed as well, so they turned to Elena and asked her to accept Radmilo's request.
"All right, I will do it for you. When do you need me?"
Radmilo grinned because he did not have to force Elena. "Let's do it after this meeting. And one more thing, I won't die as you might expect or imagine. I will return safely and think about beating up anyone who expects me to die."
Everyone immediately stopped thinking about Radmilo getting killed while fighting Tyrone. The man must not have hesitated to kill them, as he did Enrique before.
Chester then faked a cough to get everyone's attention. "Can we collect our contracts now?" he inquired, casting a glance at Radmilo.
The man simply nodded, and the main members stood up to hand over the contracts. No one did not sign the contracts. They had no other option if they wanted to live.
"I'm not just going to kill people at an emergency meeting," Radmilo said after reviewing the contracts. "I will also reveal a scandal that is harmful to the IRO. It's a case of kidnapping people who were used as test subjects by a secret research team."
Not all main members knew detailed information about the case. However, they knew it was a kidnapping case that happened about two years ago. So far, the IRO had kept the case quiet. Furthermore, they had stopped doing it.
Information about the case could only be found on the black market at a high price. Unfortunately, the seller of the information removed the product to avoid arrest.
"I will follow you," Kai said, breaking the silence with his cold voice.
Even though he appeared to be calm, his true feelings were not. Everyone could see the protruding veins in his hands when he clenched them.
They could not figure out why Kai was so angry. Only Elena and Muramasa knew why. Before joining the evil organization, Kai was a child who grew up in an orphanage and was close to a little girl whom he considered his little sister.
Kai and his sister survived the gate explosion because their orphanage was located far away from the gates. However, they had a bad incident a year later. They were kidnapped by a group of people.
When that happened, Kai experienced an awakening and tried to save his sister. He failed because he could not keep his fire power under control. His body was burned, and he lost consciousness.
After recovering from his injuries, Kai became a hunter and raised funds to track down the kidnappers. He then got their information from the black market. He soon discovered that the IRO was the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
Kai could not get his revenge on IRO if he remained a hunter. As a result, he left the guild and met with Enrique, who promised to pay back for everything that IRO had done.
"Yes, you're welcome to take part. I won't force you guys because I can do it myself. Still, it will be more fun if someone comes with me," said Radmilo, taking everyone's attention.
Most of them were relieved that the man did not force them. However, some people choose to go ahead with the risky plan.
Chester was the second to express an interest. "I can make another mess during the emergency meeting. They will be overwhelmed this way."
"I will come along as well." Muramasa raised his hand and smiled under his fox mask. "Daryl Green, who possesses the curse's power, will attend the meeting. I want to see the curse known as the strongest curse."
"Okay. So, does anyone else want to join?"
Those who had no intention of joining shook their heads without hesitation. However, one of them raised his hand, causing them to gasp.
"Wouldn't my power be useful?" Flint raised the question with confidence.
No one expected the person who had caused the commotion last time would be willing to work with Radmilo. Nonetheless, they agreed that his power would be useful. Flint could disguise himself as a key member of the IRO and infiltrate the emergency meeting to create the first chaos that allowed the others to carry out their plans.
"In that case, I will end this meeting. Our contract became effective today. Try not to break the contract to avoid unwanted things," Radmilo announced, causing the main members who were not involved in the plan to leave.
The people left in the room looked like they were waiting for what the man would say next. Elena was an exception since she was still having bad thoughts about the plan.
