Should I Become a Villain?

Chapter 74 Meeting The Golden Wattle Guild Hunters Again



Dianella jumped onto the sofa as soon as she arrived in her apartment. She took a deep breath, relieved that she could finally talk to Radmilo. The man did not confirm what he would do, but she had warned him.

When the IRO found out what Radmilo had done, they would surely take action. Dianella did not want another case to befall her country because she preferred a peaceful life. Aside from that, she was concerned because Keith was constantly involved in risky situations.

"Can he really manipulate other people's memories?" Dianella muttered, looking up at the ceiling and recalling what happened in the Forest of Death Dungeon.

The girl sat down and immediately checked her email. When a hunter completed a raid, the Guild Union would email them a raid report. Usually, the report would arrive about a half-hour after the raid was finished.

The report included information about raid members, dungeons, completion time, items obtained, and profit sharing. Dianella checked the report to see when the dungeon was finished.

"My team finished the raid in three hours," Dianella said, frowning and biting her thumb.

When she did the raid, she noticed that time flew by. The team members appeared to be unaware of this. She could tell the difference, however, because she was always suspicious of Radmilo.

Was that merely a suggestion? There was no proof that Radmilo had done anything in the dungeon. Nonetheless, Dianella remembered the man walking a long distance away from the raid team when they were attacking the undead army.

Dianella exhaled roughly and looked away from her phone screen. "I'm not sure what his true power is. I hope he no longer draws the attention of others."

At the same time, Radmilo came out of his apartment after changing his clothes. He glanced at Dianella's apartment door before snapping his fingers. For a moment, he thought about keeping the camera in the girl's apartment because she had found his secret.

However, Radmilo put his plan on hold because he knew Dianella would not reveal his secret for no reason. As long as he did not irritate the girl, then his secret was safe. He was sure about this because he spied on Dianella for months before killing her in his previous life.

"I'll wait for Zivile while I see Riedspar," muttered Radmilo, glancing at his watch before darting away from his apartment.

His new destination was the Former Wyndham Harbor, which housed Riedspar The Electric Killer. It was one of the high-level dungeons he had visited to finish the mission from Zivile. He would have an advantage if he could reach an agreement with Riedspar.

Radmilo would try to negotiate with Riedspar while waiting for Zivile to return to his apartment. Before chasing the snake monster away, he had told her to return if Flint was successful in bringing Maido.

[Warning!

You have entered the Former Wyndham Harbor

High-level dungeons

Danger-rank: S]

A warning notification appeared when Radmilo entered the dungeon. He ignored it as his attention was drawn to a group of hunters gathered in front of the beach.

"Who are they?"

Their consciousness and movement stopped because Radmilo was still using his <Pause> skill. He did not deactivate his power because he was afraid he would run into the raid team again, as he had when he fought Karm.

The hunters appeared to have come to the dungeon to raid because the weapons and armor they used were quite expensive.

The equipment they wore gave Radmilo the impression that they belonged to a big guild. As he approached them, he noticed a yellow flower symbol on a shield.

"Why do I have to meet up with the hunters from this guild again?"

His face became gloomy because he had not expected to run into the Golden Wattle guild's hunters. However, the raid members this time were not the same as the hunters he had met previously.

Radmilo examined the faces of the hunters and found a familiar one in his memory. The leader of the raid team was Rolf Smith, aka Dianella's second brother. He only recognized Rolf's face from television, but he was certain the man was Rolf from the Golden Wattle guild.

In reality, he paid no attention to the Smith family members. He remembered Rolf from the list of hunters with Precious Powers. Rolf was an awakener with the power to resist Monster Magic.

Magic attacks from any monster would be ineffective against him. Rolf could also share his resistance with his teammates, and the power lasted as long as there was still magic energy.

Many people thought Rolf had a promising future. Unfortunately, he died to protect Dianella. A gate with the SSS danger-level dungeon appeared when they were meeting at a cafe.

The incident triggered Dianella to become stronger. The girl realized she was too arrogant just because she possessed a Unique Power and rarely practiced it. Her brother's death completely changed her perspective on Unique Power.

"Great character development," Radmilo said after remembering Rolf's background.

He decided to avoid the man because he did not want to get into trouble with the Golden Wattle again. Nonetheless, he would observe the battle between the raid team and Riedspar the Electric Killer.

Radmilo was intrigued by Rolf's fighting style. He had never seen that in his previous life since Rolf died sooner than he had expected.

After choosing a good hiding place, Radmilo deactivated his power and time went back to normal. Currently, he was hiding in a palm tree.

Meanwhile, Rolf stared at the beach, attempting to shake the strange feeling that had almost overtaken him. He remembered standing by the beach with his raid team to wait for Riedspar to appear. Time had passed for an hour, but the monster they were waiting for had not appeared.

"The monster showed up later than we expected," A woman said with a sigh. She was Alexandra, a mage on the raid team.

Rolf responded with a smile. "We have raided this dungeon several times. You should know that Riedspar's sleeping time is pretty random. He's probably still sleeping underwater. If that's the case, all we can do is wait."

"Our leader is correct," A man with a shield responded. "You don't want to jump into the water to wake up Riedspar, right?"

"Listen to this, Cliff. We're not talking to you. Don't meddle!"

"What do you mean? We're a team, so it's fine for me to speak up."

Alexandra and Cliff began arguing, causing all the remaining raid team members to roll their eyes. They were used to the bickering.

When Rolf tried to close the debate, he heard the sound of water waves, showing that Riedspar had woken up from his sleep.

"Retreat!"

Alexandra and Cliff stopped arguing. They jumped back in time before the waves washed over them. All the raid team members also managed to escape.

The water fell to the shore and filled the entire bay along with the appearance of a giant dragon. Even though this was not their first encounter with Riedspar the Electric Killer, they were always taken aback by the size of the monster.

Maido awoke with a throbbing headache. He adjusted his vision by blinking a few times. As soon as he saw clearly, he frowned in confusion because he realized he was hanging upside down.

He now knew what was causing the pain in his head. Anyone would feel dizzy if they were in his position, too. He did not know who had tied him up like that, but he remembered he was beaten by Berto.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Maido asked in a weak voice.

His gaze darted around the room, looking in every direction he could reach. Nonetheless, he did not find Berto or anyone else there. A moment later, he heard the sound of a door being opened.

"How does it feel to be hung up like that?"

Maido gave no response. He examined a man who had just entered the room. The man was wearing a chef's uniform, carrying a butcher's knife, and dragging a chair. After observing him for a few minutes, Maido realized the man was Chester.

"Kiss of Death turns out to be the one looking for trouble with the IRO," said Maido, ignoring Chester's earlier question.

"I don't know if I'm that famous that you know about me," Chester laughed as he sat on the chair he brought.

"Is your new leader the mastermind behind all of this?"

Chester did not answer and instead played with the knife, making Maido growl in annoyance.

"I don't know what your leader is up to. But he better quit because he will fail. The IRO is not a small organization like Kiss of Death. Your efforts are useless—"

"Ssst...!"

Maido gasped because Chester suddenly put the knife to his lips.

"You mocked my organization when my partner managed to kidnap you," Chester said with a mocking grin. "You should look at yourself in the mirror before making fun of others."
