Should I Become a Villain?

Chester showed his displeasure when he noticed Zivile had not left the room. The woman appeared to be part of the plan to disrupt the emergency meeting. Even though he disliked Zivile because she had unexpectedly joined the organization, he could not hate her.

Other people appeared to share Chester's feelings. They were wary of Zivile, but they could not really dislike her. The woman seemed to have the power to control people's feelings.

They immediately assumed Zivile's power was related to other people's emotions. The woman had been quiet since the first meeting, but she managed to make everyone glance at her at least three times.

"You will see her power later," Radmilo spoke up, knowing exactly what everyone was thinking.

Meanwhile, Muramasa turned away from Zivile and focused on Radmilo. "What are you planning to do next?"

"Of course, Tyrone comes first. If he attends the emergency meeting, no matter how well I plan, it will not work."

Elena, who was still skeptical of that one plan, responded immediately, "I'll just help you in teleporting to Tyrone's location. Don't make me come with you."

"Sure. Did I ever say I'd bring you along? Besides, I don't need another burden," Radmilo replied casually, ignoring Elena who could not express her anger because she was insinuated as a burden.

The man then went on to say, "I'm guessing you already know about my power. You shouldn't have any bad thoughts. I had used my power to see into the future."

Everyone knew about Radmilo's power to control time, but no one expected him to reveal it himself. Furthermore, he had just declared that his power could allow him to see into the future.

Most awakeners did not reveal the skills they got from their powers. They would not even tell someone they trusted about it. There was no guarantee that those they trusted would not turn on them.

Telling others about your powers was like teaching them how to beat you. The main members were also unaware of each other's details.

No one knew exactly when the limits of Flint's camouflage might be. They also had no idea how many curses Muramasa could cast during the battle.

Radmilo, on the other hand, spoke confidently about his power. The man appeared to be disregarding the people in the room, as if to say they could not find his flaw.

"My plan for Tyrone would have worked. But I only managed to wound him badly so he couldn't use his power," Radmilo spoke again and pulled everyone out of their thoughts. "It's the same since our goal is to keep him from protecting the emergency meeting."

Everyone believed him because he said it with a serious tone. However, he did not use his ability to predict the future. His <Speed Up> indeed allowed him to go to the future. Unfortunately, it was too risky since he would forget what happened.

For example, he skipped ahead one year and discovered that he had completed the contract with Clem. He could only recall the contract. He had no recollection of anything he had done.

Radmilo would not use this power because it depleted his magical energy. He told lies solely to persuade his team members. "Shall we move on to the next plan?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Of course. Let's talk about it," Chester responded, confident that he would play an important role in the plan.

"First, we have to divide the IRO's attention. I'll form three groups for that. Chester and Elena will form the first team. You can send threatening letters to the media or the IRO. That way, they will prepare a special team to deal with you."

Elena wore a glum expression as Chester smiled broadly. She cursed herself in her heart because she couldn't disobey Radmilo's order. "Should I declare that I intend to cause chaos during an emergency meeting?" she wondered.

"Exactly! You can threaten them by declaring you will teleport a dungeon."

"What if they don't believe?"

Radmilo answered the question with a grin. "They will. If you have doubts, then you and Chester can announce it to the media or the internet. You must know the power of netizens. They will not stay silent knowing you intended to make a mess."

"That's a great idea!" Chester exclaimed. He finally got a chance to mess up in public after so long. "I promise I will get the IRO people in trouble," he continued with a confident smile.

"Then what should I do?" asked Flint, pointing to himself. The reason he joined the plan was that he was an opportunist. He would take every opportunity to get close to the new leader.

Meanwhile, Radmilo took out a photo from under his robes and handed it to Flint. "Your job is to catch this person."

"Huh? I'm not coming with you?" Flint frowned, thinking he would camouflage himself to make the first shake in the emergency meeting.

The man in the photo was Maido. Almost everyone knew his face, including Flint. He heard that Maido was in a bad situation with the IRO because of the gate explosion case. The man was not a good target since the IRO paid no attention to him for the time being.

"Don't forget that Maido can predict the future," Radmilo said, bringing everyone's attention back to him. "His relationship with IRO is strained, but that doesn't mean they have split up. I'm sure IRO will use Maido's power for this meeting."

Everyone took in the information. They agreed with Radmilo's statement. IRO would not stay silent when they were about to hold something big. They must have asked Maido to predict what would happen at the meeting.

"Then I have to catch that guy before he uses his power?" Flint asked, having accepted the mission.

"Yeah. You can start your mission now. Do you know Geovanni from The Gates and Security Council? He has always been in charge of Maido."

Flint immediately nodded in understanding. He had to camouflage as Geovanni to approach Maido.

"Then Elena will teleport you to Maido's place. I want you to catch him and bring him to me, not kill him outright. But you must back down if you find that he is using his power against you."

Radmilo's words took everyone by surprise. The man appeared to have a personal grudge against Maido and told Flint to test his power first. They became more convinced that Radmilo was a member of the IRO before going back in time.

However, Radmilo would not discuss his personal life. He immediately returned everyone's attention to their plan. "The next team is Kai and Muramasa. You guys will do the same as the first team, but you have to target other areas."

"What about that kidnapping case you talked about earlier?" Kai asked impatiently.

In the contract, Radmilo had agreed to solve the case as long as he did not cause any problems for the organization. He did not expect Radmilo to bring up the case during this meeting.

"Leave it to Zee. You know when the emergency meeting is being broadcast live, right? I'll get Zee to reveal the evidence I've gathered," Radmilo explained while pointing at Zivile, who immediately smiled and waved her hand.

No one dared to complain because Radmilo appeared to believe the woman next to him. As a result, they would try to put their trust in Zivile.

After the meeting was over, Elena did not leave like the others because she still had business with Radmilo. She frowned because Zivile was still with them.

"Should I teleport you two?" asked Elena who was ready to use her power. When she saw Radmilo nod, she immediately continued, "I can only teleport if I see you guys. Therefore, you have to bring teleport items with you to return."

"Don't worry. I've prepared everything," Radmilo showed Elena the teleportation item he brought.

A few minutes later, Elena managed to send him and Zivile over to Tyrone's place. He secretly admitted that Elena's teleportation power was formidable. The woman had no idea where Tyrone was. Nonetheless, she managed to comply with his request just by thinking she wanted to send them to Tyrone's house.

It turned out that the IRO president was living in a special house before the emergency meeting started. The house was surrounded by many bodyguards. They had not noticed Radmilo and Zivile who were standing ten meters away from them.

Before the bodyguards realized their presence, Radmilo immediately snapped his finger. Unfortunately, time did not stop as he expected. That meant Tyrone had built a barrier around the house.

"Now is the perfect time to use my favorite weapon," Radmilo said, pulling out a dagger with two blades. He then looked at Zivile and said, "Take care of the bodyguards while I go inside."

Zivile morphed into a half-snake human and dashed toward the bodyguards. As soon as they noticed her appearance, they immediately opened fire on her.
