Should I Become a Villain?

Emrick was the head of the council with promising power. He could summon monsters to fight evil organizations. Even the monsters were obedient because they were 'duplicates'.

The monsters Emrick had killed always came back to life and stayed in their dungeons. The ones Emrick summoned were duplicates of those monsters. His summoner's power was similar to 'clone,' so it was classified as Precious Power.

However, those with Unique Powers should not underestimate Emrick's power. That was because he could summon monsters indefinitely. If the opponents could not stop the monsters before Emrick ran out of mana, they would die.

Radmilo was able to kill Emrick because he relied on his power to stop time. No matter how strong his opponents were, they would lose when he used the <Pause> skill. Moreover, he was backed up by equally potent weapons.

The IRO directed Radmilo to kill Emrick because they feared his summoning power would backfire on them. Furthermore, Emrick appeared to be disputing the organization's decision.

Emrick disagreed with the International Guild Council's decision to exclude Cyril from the Phantom Guild. He also clashed with The Dungeons and Gates Security Council for thinking Maido did not deserve to be in the strongest guild in the world.

Emrick was confident in his power, so he dared to cause trouble with the other two councils. He believed the IRO would not kill him. However, his assumption was wrong, because Radmilo killed him.

'He's one of the reasons why I hid my power in the past. I know the IRO could kill me one day because they also dared to eliminate a head of the council.'

Radmilo stopped thinking about his past when he saw Carl coming with a strange man. He had never seen the man before, but he was sure they came because of Gordan's death.

"How are you doing?" Carl immediately greeted Radmilo as soon as he arrived.

"I'm perfectly fine. Thank you." Radmilo locked his gaze on the man who had followed Carl. "Is there something that made you come here?"

"I've got an official letter from the police. They asked me to come as a witness."

Radmilo had expected this, so he was not surprised. "Will I receive a letter from them as well?"

"You've got it. I come here to give you the letter," Carl said as he handed Radmilo the letter he was talking about.

"Does the man next to you work for the cops?"

The man who came with Carl nodded when he heard Radmilo's question.

"My name is Alston. You must come by the date specified in the letter. If you're sick or have other problems, then you must report it first. If you refuse a subsequent call from the police, you may be dragged away by force."

Radmilo looked at the letter in his hand. "I'm too nervous to open this letter. May I know if I will be present as a witness or suspect?" he asked in a slightly trembling voice.

"You will come as a witness. If you need time to gather evidence or something, the police will give you some. Then you can bring your lawyer with you."

"Thank you for explaining. I planned to come alone because I don't have a lawyer."

"That's fine. However, it will be better if you come with a lawyer. Can I leave now?"

Radmilo nodded, and Alston slowly disappeared from his sight. Then he turned his gaze to Carl, who looked like he wanted to say something.

"I'll also come as a witness to help you," Carl said with a serious face. "Actually, Keith wants you to come in as a suspect. I overheard his conversation with Dianella last night."

"Did he fail because there was no evidence to prove that I was a suspect?"

"Exactly. They've investigated and found nothing about you. That night, Keith also rambled on to say that you were the mastermind behind the gate explosion on Broken Hill."

It was something Radmilo had expected. When he was trapped in the axolotl monster dungeon, Keith blatantly looked at him with suspicion.

"How can he think that way?" Radmilo chuckled softly. "I'm sorry. But that sounds funny to me. I also heard a gate had exploded in Germany. How do I get there? Plus, I was cleaning up Joshua's store when the gate exploded in there."

Carl looked around to find Joshua because Radmilo mentioned his name. However, he could not find the man. "Is Joshua still taking care of his store?"

"I think so. He's still in Adelaide with Hannah."

"You should ask them to come here. They can help you when the police interrogate you. I remember they were also near you when the gate exploded on Broken Hill."

Radmilo gave a nod. "Of course. I'll ask them for help."

"Do you have time? I need to talk about something important."

Carl sounded more serious than before. It seemed he wanted to discuss the important matter in private. Therefore, Radmilo agreed, and they got into a car.

As soon as Carl started the car, he began to talk. "I'll find the best lawyer for you. Don't refuse. Your problem can be solved if you get help from a lawyer."

"If you help me a lot, I don't know how to repay you," Radmilo said, his voice happy and confused.

"Actually, I used to think that you were troublesome for being involved with Gordan's death case. I sincerely apologize. But whenever I see you, I always think of myself. I was once in a position where no one helped me. Thus, I want to help you as much as I can. "

Radmilo listened in silence. He knew that the important thing Carl wanted to tell him was not why the man helped him.

"You remember that I overheard Keith and Dianella's conversation, right?" Carl looked doubtful for a moment before continuing his words. "I heard they're planning something against you."

"Huh? What are they planning?"

"They want to find out more about you. That's why Keith told Dianella to get out of Team C. She will be transferred to Team B to watch over you. I'm telling you this because I'm afraid Dianella might do something to investigate you."

When Radmilo killed Gordan, he knew it would not be an easy end. That was why he did not leave any fingerprints or other evidence in the dungeon.

The case of their death would never be revealed forever. Also, Dianella would find nothing about him. The girl would be disappointed because she assumed her brother was overly suspicious of an innocent person.

"From now on, I'll be careful with Miss Smith. But I'm sure she did it because she cares about other people. She doesn't want another incident that could take many lives," Radmilo said with a smile, though he was cursing Dianella inwardly for being too obedient to Keith.

Carl glanced briefly at Radmilo. He sighed because the man beside him faced the situation with positive thoughts. "The team leader already knew about this and he asked me to look after you. Dianella knows you're at the evacuation site, so you must leave."

"But I don't know where to go."

"That's why I took you in the car. Jim has rented out an apartment for you. If you want to repay his kindness, then you can do it after joining the raid with us."

"Please convey my gratitude to the team leader."

Radmilo pretended to be happy the entire way to the apartment. Others might think that Jim had a good attitude. However, Radmilo realized Jim helped him because he did not like Keith.

Their relationship was not good from the start. Therefore, Jim protected Radmilo from hindering Keith and Dianella's investigation. He was extremely childish. Nonetheless, Radmilo saw it as beneficial because he could get a free place to live.

***

It had been three hours since Maido checked the documents sent by Cyril. The documents contained information about the world's evil organizations. Still, he could not find the person he was looking for in the information.

Whether it was a member or leader of the organization. None of them had the physique of someone who would kill Maido in the future. It made him even more anxious.

"Why I can't find out anything about him? Did Cyril provide me with incomplete information?"

Maido crumpled the papers and threw them on the floor. He grabbed his hair in frustration. Of course, he had to feel that way because the IRO emergency meeting was constantly haunting him.

If The Dungeons and Gates Security Council sanctioned him, he would not receive any security from them. Maido believed the person he was looking for was trying to kill him long ago.

However, that person could not do that since the IRO had always protected Maido. The situation would change when the IRO stopped paying attention to him. The longer Maido thought about it, the more he was trapped in fear because someone wanted to destroy him.
