Should I Become a Villain?
28 When Time Stops
When Radmilo used <Spool Back> then all he and everyone around him got was a butterfly effect. The future would change after he took Enrique's position. But still, he did not care about the effect, because sooner or later he would take that position.
After all, the future had changed since Radmilo returned to the past. He changed his destiny, Maido's life, and the future of the Kiss of Death organization. Those were three important things that he could still control. He could change his destiny and destroy Maido's life. Also, he was sure that he could control this organization.
"Should we change the name of our organization?" Someone suddenly asked. He wore a half-black mask that did not cover the burns all over his face.
He seemed serious about the question. However, Chester instead replied, "I think we should change our organization's name to MILF."
"Pardon?"
"MILF means Make IRO Live in Fear. Fun fact, I've wanted to use that name for a long time."
Enrique clenched his fists because Chester's words made him want to throw a punch. "Stop joking around! We will not change the name of our organization," he said firmly.
Then he turned his head and forced a smile at Radmilo. "Do you agree, Sir?"
"I don't care about the name of the organization. It's up to you. I've already said what's on my mind. Let's meet in a week at the new headquarters. Elena had to reset our teleportation system," Radmilo said as he stood up from his chair.
After that, he used <Pause> and approached people in the room one by one. He tried to guess who these people were. In his previous life, he did not know all the criminals from Kiss of Death or other evil organizations.
The IRO simply ordered Radmilo to finish someone with extraordinary power. Because of that, he would not know someone who had power below the IRO standard. He would know them if someone told him.
As soon as he finished investigating their identities, Radmilo was relieved that he knew who these people were. They would all become troublesome villains in the future.
"I'll be leaving now. If they cause trouble before the next meeting, then I'll think again about using them."
Radmilo stepped towards Elena, then took the necklace from the girl's neck. It was a necklace made by Muramasa, a member of the organization who was not present at this meeting. Muramasa was good at making equipment and his skill was even recognized by the IRO.
However, Muramasa was not interested in the money offered by the IRO. No one knew why the man joined an evil organization. Radmilo also recognized Muramasa as a tough opponent because he had the power to cast curses.
Muramasa put a curse on the special equipment he made and sold it on the black market. The equipment he made would cause a lot of trouble in the future, so the IRO decided to kill him, rather than persuade him to join them.
Then, the necklace in Radmilo's hand was a rare item that only a few people owned. The crystal in the necklace allowed someone to teleport to where they wanted. Unfortunately, it only worked three times.
Muramasa and Elena worked together to create the teleportation crystal. The element to make the crystal was the core, something they got after defeating the dungeon boss. The crystal became a rare item because the core used was a difficult-level dungeon boss core.
Moreover, Muramasa did not distribute the crystal to the public. He only sold it to people who could pay high prices at illegal auctions.
"Too bad I can't meet Muramasa today. I hope he shows up at the next meeting," Radmilo muttered as he shattered the crystal in the necklace.
A few seconds later, he moved to another place, and the shattered crystal returned to its original shape. Now he was in Germany to put more pressure on Maido.
After the gate explosion in Australia, the IRO officially apologized and stated that they would reflect on their mistake.
In the comment section on their official social media, Radmilo read comments explaining that Maido from the IRO refused when Germany asked them to predict the gate explosion. The comments went viral and people started blaspheming Maido.
"Well, he deserves all those negative comments."
Radmilo looked around and searched for the gate he would affect.
The <Pause> skill still worked there. He only released the skill when completing a quest in a dungeon and arriving at the organization meeting. Even if he used the skill for hours, people would not notice it.
Naturally, the skill gave people false memories, making them feel like time was running as it should. Radmilo could indeed use his power to kill Maido.
However, he could not do that because IRO always kept Maido's whereabouts hidden. They purposely brought Maido to move from one city to another, or even from one country to another. The reason they did that was that Maido was valuable.
When Maido died and gates kept appearing in the world, then IRO would be in a lot of trouble. Because of that, they took excellent care of Maido. However, they could also be rude when the man did not act in their favor.
"To be honest, he was pathetic, too. He must have betrayed me because the IRO threatened to hurt his brothers," Radmilo laughed when he found a gate and used his skill to speed up the explosion of the gate.
After he was done with that, he used the teleportation crystal and returned to Joshua's store. He deactivated his skill, allowing Joshua and Hannah to move normally. Then he asked, "Is there anything else I should do?"
Joshua blinked as he notice how tidy the store was. He looked around the room and saw that Radmilo had cleaned all the equipment there. For some reason, he felt a little dazed, even though he remembered Radmilo had helped him organize the equipment in his store.
"You've worked hard," Joshua said after a moment of silence. He smiled at Radmilo. "Shall we go for a walk? I used to live in this city when I was younger and know a good place."
"Of course. Let's go with Hannah too!" Radmilo smiled widely until his eyes closed.
He always felt happy after using the <Pause> skill. It was the most powerful skill he had. Not only gave false memories, but the skill also controlled all probable events during the stop time.
When Radmilo deactivated the skill, then those events came true. For example, the equipment he had to clean was already on the shelf when the time was running normally. Joshua's dirty store also became clean automatically, as if time never stopped.
It was a power that made the IRO feel threatened. They were afraid that one-day Radmilo would betray them and join an evil organization. When that happened, they could not imagine the worst.
For this reason, the IRO preferred to get rid of one strong person, rather than sacrifice the deaths of many. The world would be in chaos if Radmilo was unhappy with them and betrayed them.
On the other hand, the people in the organization came to their senses when they came out of the building. They remembered Radmilo vanishing from the room and they decided to leave. Something strange happened. They thought so, but no one knew what something strange was.
Elena could not stop thinking about the mysterious man after realizing that her necklace had disappeared. Even though there was no solid evidence, she believed her necklace was taken by the man.
She was very surprised to learn that the man even knew about the crystal. It was impossible if the man took it without knowing what it was used for.
"What are you thinking about?" Kai asked. He was the man with the burn on his face who asked whether the organization should change its name.
"I think about our new leader. Everyone must still think about him now," replied Elena with a shaky breath. Then she asked back, "Do you know where Muramasa is? I haven't been able to contact him since yesterday."
"I don't know. He is always been that way. Go somewhere and come back with something new."
Elena's mood worsened after hearing that. She had to immediately tell Muramasa about their new leader, but the man had gone nowhere. What was even more annoying was that she could not ask the dungeon item smugglers who had the last contact with Muramasa.
The smugglers must have been killed by Radmilo, and Elena lost a clue about Muramasa. All she could do was wait for her partner to come back from nowhere.
Meanwhile, Enrique was walking while holding his anger. Veins protruded from his fists, letting anyone know he was in a bad mood. He still could not accept that a stranger suddenly took his position.
Enrique only kept his calm during the meeting because he could not take rash actions, since Radmilo had great power. However, he would not give up just because of that. He was determined to devise a plan that would kill Radmilo at the next organizational meeting.
