Should I Become a Villain?

There was nothing else for Kai and Muramasa to fight against, so they exited the conference building. They discovered numerous bodies on the ground as soon as they stepped outside. All the security personnel appeared to have been defeated by their team members.

"Why did you guys come out so early?"

The first person to notice Kai and Muramasa's presence was Chester. He frowned when he saw they were not hurt at all.

There were two council heads inside the conference building. At the very least, Kai and Muramasa would have suffered physical harm. Instead, they returned safely, as if the fight inside the building had never happened.

Flint and Elena also noticed the weirdness. Actually, they had been feeling strange when the IRO stopped sending the security team a few minutes ago. They believed the IRO still had many members who could be enlisted to make an arrest.

However, the IRO did not send another security team. The company appeared to have given up. Did they decide to give up as a result of the kidnapping investigation?

"Some people suddenly escape from the fight," Muramasa answered after arriving in front of his teammates. "I think they do that because they have another big problem."

Chester rubbed his chin. "Well, that makes sense. The IRO should make some clarifications before people burn down their offices."

"But there's something strange," Kai said, drawing all attention to him. "They escaped without using any special items. That's weird. Is the IRO hiding someone with teleportation power?"

When Kai mentioned teleportation, they all turned to look at Elena. The girl shrugged, unsure of how to respond.

She considered for a bit and then said, "I think we should get out of here before we continue our conversation."

The others appeared to agree to leave because they had nothing else to do. They attended the emergency meeting with the intent of troubling the IRO for various reasons.

Chester enjoyed murdering many people, and he was delighted when his name made the news. Kai arrived to beat Hector, whom he thought was responsible for his sister's kidnapping.

Elena joined them because of her teleportation power. Flint wanted to show Radmilo his value. And the last one was Muramasa, who expected a thrilling fight with Daryl.

But the conflict did not come to a definitive end. They had anticipated suffering severe injuries from openly attacking the IRO but got no one.

"Should we meet the leader first before leaving?" asked Flint, glancing at the other building in front of him.

There was silence coming from the building. This indicated that Radmilo had finished the archery team and personnel from the security team.

"I think we can leave without him. When we battled the security team, I felt a small magic explosion. The leader must have used a teleportation item to bring his pet back."

Elena's answer made them remember the beautiful woman Radmilo had brought to the organization. They did not see the woman to be a monster at the moment. Because Zivile could transform into a half-snake human, they believed she was a monster.

***

Some time ago, when Maido teleported to the house that Hector chose.

The house was in a private neighborhood with excellent security. As soon as Maido entered the house, his servant welcomed him.

"Sir Hector told me my brothers are here. What are they doing?" Maido questioned his servant as he viewed around the house.

"They are sleeping after watching television. I will lead the way if you want to meet them."

"Sure. I want to see how my brothers doing."

The servant took Maido to a room on the first floor. Two boys were seen sleeping soundly in one bed. The sight should have made Maido joyful.

He could not have been happier than to see his younger brothers safe. However, he instead lost the smile on his face when he saw them sleeping.

"Is there something wrong?" The servant looked concerned.

Maido stroked his head, then said in a quivering voice, "My brothers are not them. I'm sure they are just strangers! Did you take me to the wrong room?"

"I'm sorry, but I brought you to the correct room. You seem tired and stressed. The doctor said you can hallucinate if you are too stressed."

"Huh? My doctor said that?"

When the servant got close to Maido, he stared at him squarely. "Do you remember when you visited Dr. Rigel a few days ago? You were advised not to stress out since it can affect your mind."

"Ah, I did visit Dr. Rigel a few days ago. I don't remember everything he said for thinking too much about the emergency meeting."

"You seem to be experiencing stress-related hallucinations. Your brothers are sleeping in the room. They are your brothers, Dustin and Austin. Remember? You can see them again when you calm down."

Maido took a deep breath as he listened to Wren, his servant. After clearing all of his bad thoughts, he glanced at the two boys in the room one more time. He could now picture their faces.

They were indeed his younger brothers, just as Wren had said. It seemed he was overthinking since Kiss of Death created a big problem for the IRO. He could not help feeling depressed about that.

"I'm grateful, Wren. You have always cared for me and my brothers for several years. I'm hoping you will always be there for me," Maido genuinely stated.

Wren smiled and patted Maido's shoulder. "I don't need your thanks. I'll go get you a cup of tea. Do you enjoy drinking green tea?"

"That's definitely my fave. I should have a cup to relax.

"I'll make it now then."

Wren left Maido behind to go to the kitchen. He walked out with a kind smile that caused other people to smile too. However, the smile disappeared from his face when he saw a system notification appear in the air.
