Should I Become a Villain?

Dianella had just finished cleaning her apartment when she got a video call from Keith. She sat on the sofa in her room, answering the video call on her laptop. It turned out that Rolf, her second brother, also joined the call.

People gossiped the Smith family had a conflict since Rolf became a member of the Golden Wattle guild. Of course, it was all a rumor because they were on a video call today. The video call would never have taken place if they were in conflict.

"How is your new place going? You must be in trouble because there's no housekeeper." Rolf was the first to start the conversation. His dark hazel irises revealed a pitying expression.

Despite this, Dianella responded nonchalantly. "I'm not like you, who always requires the help of a servant. Aren't you busy taking care of the hunters in your guild?"

"Yes, my workload will increase from now on. My team ran into some difficulties. They failed to get to the core of Karm the Undead."

"Really? Are the dungeon difficult for them?"

Rolf took a deep breath and then shook his head. "They claimed that a mysterious man interrupted their raid and defeated the dungeon boss. He also knocked out the entire raid team with his sword. But he didn't attack Amos."

"What did Amos say?"

"He didn't go into much detail. When the incident occurred, he was only concerned with attacking him and had forgotten the man's physical appearance. But he told me the man wore a skull mask and golden armor. He also had a flame sword."

Mysterious man, dungeon, sword. It brought Dianella's attention back to Gordan's death. This time, however, no one died. Was that assassin not the same person who had troubled the raid team of the Golden Wattle guild?

Meanwhile, Keith jumped in, knowing exactly what his sister was thinking.

"Nothing like that has ever happened before. Item smugglers sometimes messed up raid teams. However, it's strange that the mysterious man didn't kill everyone on the raid team. Amos claimed the man was extremely powerful and could defeat his raid team with the hilt of the sword."

Dianella understood what Keith was trying to say. Item smugglers would usually finish a raid team if their strength was superior. They did not want the hunters to survive and report them.

If no one could tell about their physical appearance, it would take the IRO a long time to track down them. However, the mysterious man did not kill Amos and his friends. That meant he was not an item smuggler, so he did not have to worry the IRO would find him at a black market auction.

"Haha, that guy gives off 'Catch Me If You Can' vibes," Rolf chuckled to lighten the mood, which soon became solemn. "I have reported the case and the International Guild Council will help my guild. You two don't have to worry because it's not your guild's problem."

"Well, I'm hoping the International Guild Council can help," Dianella said, her voice skeptical as she recalled the mysterious man could defeat Karm on his own. The IRO would have a hard time catching him.

"I'll notify you if there is any new information about the case. Please accept my apologies for having to leave. The guild master just called me. Have a wonderful day!"

After saying that, Rolf left the video call. However, Dianella and Keith stayed because they still wanted to talk about other things.

"Did you find anything suspicious?" Keith inquired, without providing specifics. But Dianella understood what he meant.

"I've been watching the guy and found nothing. He's just like anyone else. Nothing strange happened when I followed him to the supermarket. He appears to be waiting for Team B to call him to sign the contract."

"Who knows if he purchased something that could cause harm to others?"

Dianella laughed for a while, rolling her eyes. "He bought nothing strange. I noticed him buying a lot of apples. What do you think he will do with all of those apples? Making poison apple pie?"

A few seconds later, someone knocked on Dianella's apartment door. The girl told her brother she was going to investigate who it was.

Dianella assumed the people knocking on her door were reporters because her move to a small apartment had piqued people's interest. The Smith Family was incredibly popular, so people would be surprised to see she did not live in a mansion.

She had a good sentence prepared to reject the reporters. However, the sentence would not come out of her mouth because it was Radmilo who showed up, not the reporters.

"Am I taking up your time?" The man asked with an awkward smile.

Dianella was taken aback for a moment because she had not expected his arrival. Instead of responding to the question, she looked at the apple pie in Radmilo's hand. She did not know how to react when she saw the apple pie.

Meanwhile, Radmilo noticed Dianella's interest in the apple pie he was holding. He quickly passed the apple pie to her. "I made this pie to express my gratitude."

"You made this yourself?" Dianella raised an eyebrow as she accepted the apple pie.

"Yes, I can cook apple pie and other food. Thank you for helping me when the gate explosion occurred in the guild building. I'm sorry for suddenly giving you the apple pie without asking you. I just wanted to repay your kindness because you've worked so hard."

Dianella's suspicion gradually faded after hearing those words. She began to believe Radmilo was a decent person. Even the man could cook. He appeared to have the skill because he lived alone.

However, the truth was that Radmilo got his cooking skill because he did not trust anyone. People tried to poison him with food in his previous life. Even though he had resistance to poison, he wanted to eat without being bothered by anyone.

"I appreciate it very much. Do you want to come over to my place? I can make you some tea," Dianella said as she let Radmilo in.

Unfortunately, the man did not appear to be interested in her offer. "I'm sorry. Today I have a meeting with Carl at the new guild building. I hope my apple pie fits your taste."

Dianella nodded as she watched Radmilo walk down the apartment hall. The man appeared to really have an appointment with Carl from Team B. She went back to her apartment and showed Keith the apple pie.

"I got this pie from the guy we suspect," Dianella said casually as she stuffed a slice of pie into her mouth.

Keith looked hysterical when he saw his sister eating apple pie, which he thought was poisonous. However, nothing happened to Dianella after she ate the pie.

"See? There's nothing wrong with this pie," Dianella spoke after swallowing the pie. "I think we're going too far. We'd better stop spying on him before he reports about us."

"If you suddenly leave the apartment, then he will be suspicious. Therefore, stay there for a few weeks. But you will still be transferred to Team B. I got a report from Team C that you acted recklessly in the axolotl monster dungeon. They don't want you to be on their team."

Dianella snorted when she found out people from Team C reported the incident to Keith. Even though the Tasmanian Devil was owned by the Smith family, she was not free to do whatever she pleased. People could still report her if she gave a bad influence on the team's performance.

As a result, they transferred her to Team B, which accepted the 'outcast' in the guild. Dianella had heard Jim was a firm leader. That man would not care when someone made a mistake during a raid.

If that mistake put the hunters' lives at risk, then he would not save them. Because of Jim's personality, the rogue hunters gradually changed.

Radmilo, on the other hand, did not rush out to meet Carl at the new guild building. He went to the dungeon first, which was in the same direction as the guild building.

The dungeon was located in Wyndham Harbor and ruled by Riedspar the Electric Killer, a dragon who could summon a giant thunderbolt from the sky to kill his opponents.

Before entering the dungeon, Radmilo stopped time, as usual. There was no raid team present. The dungeon also looked deserted because he did not withdraw his power.

He intended to immediately finish the dungeon boss while the time was stopped. However, he was forced to make time to go back to normal in the dungeon because he could not find the Riedspar.

Moments after Radmilo deactivated his skill, the ground shook and the sound of the waves rustling became louder. A giant dragon with bright blue scales emerged from the beach and roared, sending a tidal wave of water into the air.
