Should I Become a Villain?

Chapter 36 You Have Accepted The Second Quest



After leaving Geovanni's room, Maido decided to return home. His brothers did not say anything and could only look down in tears. Maido gritted his teeth as his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

He swore to find the person behind the gate explosion incident. He would do anything to get the information. That person had made him and his brothers came to Geovanni's house to be tortured.

Maido could not let that person give him more trouble. As soon as he arrived at his house, he ordered the servants to take care of his brothers' wounds.

"Where are you going?" A servant asked when Maido leaving him. "You also need to be treated!"

Without looking at his servant, Maido replied, "It's okay. Leave me alone. Please don't let anyone into my room."

The servant stared at Maido's back with a sad look. He never imagined that Maido would come home with wounds all over his body. Before the gate explosion problem occurred, Maido did not get a single wound on his body or face because the IRO took great care of him.

In the room, Maido looked for a handkerchief to clean the blood from his face. Geovanni made his face hit the floor several times. The bad memory caused the fire of anger in his mind to burn even more.

"I'll avenge the old man one day!"

Even though Maido said that, he understood Geovanni was not someone he could touch. The IRO would not allow him to attack a delegate from The Dungeons and Gates Security Council.

Maido stopped thinking about Geovanni when he realized there was no point in plotting revenge for the old man. He should focus on finding the identity of the person who would destroy him in the future. Someone he trusted a lot about it was Cyril.

They became friends because they often met at events or meetings held by the IRO. Cyril had said that Maido could contact him when he needed a spy. Because of that, Maido immediately called Cyril.

"What's up? I'm talking to my father right now. You can call me later if there's nothing important," Cyril directly spoke as he answered the call.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to intrude on your time. Can we talk after you've finished with your father? There's something important I want to ask of you."

On the other hand, Cyril glanced at his father for advice. His father just nodded as a sign that he should continue the conversation with Maido.

"No worries. My father let me talk to you now. What do you need?"

At first, Maido was hesitant to speak after knowing Cyril's father was also there. However, he ignored it because he wanted to immediately carry out his plan.

"I need a professional spy. Can you recommend one for me? I can pay for it."

For a moment, Cyril remained silent. He appeared to be thinking about something.

"What kind of information do you require?"

"Information on all the evil organizations. Who is their leader, any member of the organization, and even those who are close to them."

Everyone had a side. When it came time to pick a side, everyone went with the good, the neutral, or the evil.

Maido was among those who chose the right path. He tried to live a normal life while helping as many people as he could. The evil people, on the other hand, were not pleased to see him living in peace. He could not help but take them seriously.

"Do you have any specific organizations in mind?"

"No, I don't. I just want to know about all of them."

At that moment, Cyril knew Maido was overcome with anger. By stating that he did not have a specific target, the man had not made a great plan.

"I'll do my best to help you. However, please keep this between us. This won't go well if others find out about our secret."

Maido gave a nod. "Sure. Thank you very much!"

Cyril was the first to hang up the call. He stared at his cell phone, wondering why Maido was interested in the evil organization. Maido had never taken action before because the IRO had always protected him. Something must have happened if he was planning to fight the evil organization directly.

"Has the IRO abandoned him?" Cyril frowned.

An old man who had been listening to the conversation between Cyril and Maido smiled mockingly. "Are you talking about Geovanni's slave?"

"Yeah. He suddenly wants to know about evil organizations." Cyril glanced at Emrick, his father. They were discussing important matters when Maido called him.

"IRO won't just throw him away. I'm sure he has used his powers secretly to read his future. You remember when he refused a request to predict a gate explosion, right?"

Cyril nodded. "That must be the reason Maido couldn't predict the explosion of the gate. Mr. Geovanni hid the fact."

"I know. Looks like Maido saw through his power that the evil organization was going to destroy him."

"Perhaps he's trying to prevent the problem from occurring."

Emrick cast a glance at his son. "This entire time, he has been under the control of the IRO. He will get tired of it, eventually."

"Do you think that the new Kiss of Death's leader is the one behind the recent chaos?"

"He's already on the suspect list. The IRO can always sort things out. They will also fix the gate issue as soon as possible. Besides, no one can match the IRO's power."

Cyril was about to respond when Emrick's phone rang. On the cell phone screen, the name 'Daryl Green' was seen calling.

"I have to go," Emrick told as he took his cell phone from the table. "Don't forget to always update me if there's news from our spies."

"Sure. I'll do it even if you don't tell me to."

Cyril watched Emrick until his father disappeared through the door. Then he decided to send a spy to help Maido. He would also order the spy to monitor Maido's every move. For some reason, he had a feeling that person who hated Maido could potentially become a strong enemy of the IRO in the future as well.

Before that person became a major threat to the IRO, he must be able to prevent it. He did not want people to lose loyalty in the IRO because that person kept causing a lot of trouble.

Radmilo had nowhere to go when the rescue team announced everyone could go home. Actually, he did not want to go back to the evacuation site where he had stayed with Joshua and Hannah before.

Today, Radmilo had to officially become a dungeon cleaner and be paid in advance after signing the contract. He planned to rent an apartment using the money. However, that did not happen because a gate suddenly appeared and exploded.

In addition, Jim, the leader of Team B, also did not want to force Radmilo to work with him. They had gone through the shocking events of today. To show that he was a good leader, he told Radmilo to come back to the guild once he had calmed down.

'Should I pretend to be traumatized and return to the guild after a week?'

Radmilo wanted to laugh when he thought of that. The people who were stuck with him in the dungeon would be traumatized for a few days. Nonetheless, he felt nothing.

"Where are you going?" Carl suddenly appeared from behind Radmilo and asked like that. "I can escort you if you want to go to the previous evacuation site."

"I have no place to stay for now. That's why I'm going back there."

"Okay. I'll take you there. You don't mind if we take a cab, right?"

Radmilo nodded and followed Carl from behind, wondering why the man was being nice to him. After what happened to him in his previous life, he could not trust people's kindness.

The IRO had spies all over the world, and Carl might be one of them. Radmilo had to be careful. He could not reject Carl's kindness for now. When he did, then Carl would be aware of his actions.

"How should I repay your kindness?" Radmilo asked as soon as he got into the taxi with Carl.

"You just need to live well," Carl replied with a big smile.

Radmilo smiled back and a moment later, he heard interesting news from the radio in the taxi. It turned out that the IRO would have an emergency meeting in a week.

When unintended bad things happened, the IRO had to exert their ability to solve problems and regain the lost public trust. It was obvious that they would send Security Forces around the world.

In this way, people would feel safe and start trusting the IRO again. Unfortunately, Radmilo was not going to let the IRO win the public's trust. He would make it difficult for the security forces.

As he was thinking about what kind of chaos he would make, a notification suddenly popped up and grabbed his attention.
