Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 59 59:New Villain

Rose had tried to contact the team that lost the connection suddenly and heard the updates.

Her heart had been growing unease and she had been feeling unsettled. Amidst this, the radio connector buzzed suddenly.

"Hello...Are you listening? How is the progress?"Rose asked, panicking because she hadn't heard anything from the other side.

They had two Martial Grandmaster assassins, a Martial master, and the Martial Grandmaster pugilist along with many men to assist them.

The chances of failure were close to nil but for some reason, her heart felt heavy due to a bad premonition. She hadn't heard anything in the last 20 minutes and was wondering what might have happened.

BEEP!BEEP!

A distorting voice echoed from the other side, lighting her hope.

"It's me Rose, Vice-cap. What's the situation on the other side?"

"Hello...1...2..3 mike testing. Is it the correct channel? Took me some time to crack the correct channel."

Rose's heart almost jumped out of her throat when she heard an unknown voice.

"Who are you? Where are my teammates?"She shouted.

"Hell Miss Rose, the teammates that you are trying to contact just now purchased tickets and boarded the plane to hell leaving me alone."

Rose's expression changed and her voice became stuttered.

"You killed them. Y…You killed them all but how…"

Shock and horror etched over her face. It was unbelievable for them to die unless they faced a strong cultivator.

Trying to keep her anger from erupting, she asked"Just who paid you? Do you know..."

"Shut up! I didn't pick up the call to hear your bullshit. I am calling you to warn you not to mess with me. It's not me who fucked your people the day before yesterday so if you keep looking for trouble with me, I am more than happy to send more of your people to death. I have no problem killing some dirty dogs and whores licking Ye Chen's butt."

"Also tell that guy to keep his dick in check otherwise the bigger his harem is, the bigger will be the list of people dying with him and I am just advising with kind intention."

"Ye Chen..You know hi..."

The phone was cut off abruptly giving no time for Rose to react. Her mind was in a mess.

Her hands trembled in panic as the Mercenary group that he and Ye Chen built from scratch started to crumble.

The losses this time were quite severe.

More than that, she would lose her face in the circle of Ye Chen's wives and may even fall out of his favor. It was really weird for all to think that instead of the death of her crew. However, her mind couldn't help but wander around the thought of her authority being lowered in the harem.

However, this was for later. From the brief talk, she wasn't able to figure out anything about the person.

Except for his name which appeared out of nowhere in Silent Serpent, she didn't know anything nor did she uncover his intention.

He was shrouded by a layer of mystery.

At that time, she suddenly remembered about the board directors of Mariotte getting killed.

"He is targeting something or someone. Is it Ye Chen? No, I don't think so..." Rose's eyes widened with a sudden realization.

"We are almost one-third of our people. Our situation is quite dangerous. I can't let everyone die."

"Pack up...Pack up everything."Rose walked out screaming hurriedly.

She immediately started organizing the troops. She needs to hide out somewhere to avert the deadly crisis. If Ye Chen was here, then there wouldn't be so much trouble but since he is busy, they just need to sneak around somewhere.

However, amidst organizing things a blaring alarm rang.

"Enemy Attack!"

"It's those bloody Ironhawks."

An atmosphere of chaos and panic gripped the hearts of the remaining Wolfgang mercenaries.

Leon had been updating his progress on Blood Net which in turn was giving updates to the sponsor who decided to hammer a final nail to their coffin.

Unable to take the blow, Rose almost pulled her hair in despair."Dammit!"

Round of fire and rockets started blasting them.

"Vice-Captain, leave this to me. Just escape. It is time for me to repay the Captain's favor."

Heiros, the Grade 3 who stood at sentry raised his arm, which started glowing, and shot a flammable ball that on contacting the enemy exploded.

BOOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

As the rain of fire attacks started causing damage, a line was drawn in slaying the flame balls, and a figure shot slashing his sword.

Tom Hawk, taking the lead, cast a gruesome smirk looking at Rose who was fuming with anger.

"Nothing personal Rose, we are just working for our sponsors."

........

In the southern part of Savanna, a group of blackguards stood over the helipad over which a helicopter landed.

From the helicopter, a dashing handsome man walked out alone.

The man with silver hair possessed an air of timeless elegance, his locks shimmering under the faint sunlight. His gaze was arresting, framed by striking red eyes that seemed to hold a mix of mystery and intensity, drawing attention wherever he went.

The guards bowed their heads in unison seeing him and saluted him.

He is Reno Jeffson, the sole heir of Great Jeffson, one of the prominent families of Vistas.

However, his family wasn't in the league of the very top families because of the lack of a Martial Emperor but their presence was undeniable in the society and upper circle.

Reno folded his arms behind his back, scanned the guards, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Good!"

A month ago, he was struck by lightning in his home and was in a coma. When he woke up, much to his horror he had transmigrated and had awakened a Villain Choice System.

He panicked about his fate of getting humiliated and killed by the protagonist for killing his family. But after a round of planning and going around for a few days, he has adapted his role of villain.

To his surprise, he fit the description of an arrogant, cold, and handsome villain to the point he loved it.

Since he just got up a week ago. He hadn't made much progress but things are gonna change now.

He was now here for the opportunity that turned a useless commoner into a multi-world threat a.k.a protagonist.

The Treasure Lost Jewel.

Though it was named a treasure, it was a weapon of mass destruction.

"Young Master Reno!"

Reno looked at the smiling middle-aged man and gave a brief nod.

It was Anthony, the Commander of the squadron situated here in Savannah who kept a lookout for situations as every big family in Vista kept a tab about this place.

"We have asked around and searched for the place you asked us to search. We also seek help from the mercenaries and locals."

"All we awaited was for you to descend so that we could take you there," Anthony answered, casting a cheeky smile.

"I am pleased by your hard work, however, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Anthony's smile faded on hearing this.

"Young Ma..."

"Anthony, I don't like to repeat myself. I am going alone. Marching with numbers would drag me down."

"But..."

BOOM!

Anthony's body was suddenly pressed by heavy pressure. His mouth opened wide and his pupils dilated sensing the burst of power from his master.

"Master...An 18-year-old Martial Master..."Anthony stepped back with an expression of awe and reverence.

"It's nothing. If not for the restriction of entry to the above Martial Grandmaster, I would have already broken into the Martial Lord realm."Reno spoke arrogantly and walked out taking confident strides.

"How is the situation of the mercenaries?"

"We heard that a bounty hunter had started taking down the Wolfgang mercenaries and Ironhawk attacked the Wolfgang base," Anthony reported the exciting piece of news.

Reno halted his steps abruptly hearing a chime.
