Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 103 Gate’s Appearance At A Rented Beach
The last time Radmilo met Flint was when Kiss of Death attacked the IRO. He lent his flame sword and took it back after the attack was over. There was no conflict between them.
Also, Flint was not someone who would become dangerous in the future. Radmilo remembered Flint ending up in prison after being caught by the IRO. It was a special prison that handled criminal awakeners.
The best hunters were deployed to guard the special prison. Flint or another criminal could not bribe them because they were loyal to the IRO. Thus, he would end up in prison forever or might die at Hector's hand.
Radmilo was not sure if Hector copied Flint's power. In his memory, Hector would not just take someone else's power. People also would criticize him if they knew he killed many people to take their powers.
As a result, Hector only took powers from criminals who were sentenced to death. It was widely known. However, Radmilo had doubts about that because if he became Hector, he would secretly copy other people's powers.
"Damn Hector. Was he behind my murder?"
Radmilo had already thought about that possibility. Yet, he thought about it again this time. He had left Dianella's apartment because the police had handled the smoke bomb incident.
Currently, he was in his apartment looking for information about Ellery. It turned out that news about Ellery was easy to find.
"So, he is the nephew of a guild master? Let me stalk his social media."
Radmilo only relied on news on the internet and he managed to get Ellery's social media account. Since hunters became the most popular job, many people followed Ellery.
It was a perfect coincidence for Radmilo because Ellery created a story on his account. Ellery posted a photo of him and his friends having fun on a beach.
"I'm glad he's a person who doesn't value privacy," Radmilo muttered when he saw Ellery mention the location of the beach. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
He just needed to go to the beach and found as much information as he wanted. Initially, he wanted to ask Carl to make it quicker and more practical, but he decided to find out on his own to minimize the worst-case scenario.
Now Radmilo had to choose between seeing Flint or Ellery. His condition had not gotten better. He needed time to use his power optimally. However, his condition would not instantly recover tomorrow.
The man had tried healing potions some time ago and it did not work. It only helped a little. The system's auto-healer also did not work against his body's condition.
As Clem had said, it would take Radmilo several days to fully recover. If he forced himself to go outside today, then he could not guarantee how long his power would last.
"But I can't stand doing nothing."
Radmilo exhaled roughly while rubbing his face. Then, he got an idea.
"That's right! Why don't I just come to see Ellery? I can pretend to go to the beach to cool off. Once there, I can limit my power to only important matters."
The idea felt promising that Radmilo decided not to stay in his apartment. It cost him money to see Ellery but it did not matter.
After preparing everything, Radmilo came out of his apartment. But he ran into Keith, who had just left Dianella's apartment.
"Where are you going?" Keith asked when he saw Radmilo carrying a sling bag. It indicated that the man was going somewhere far away. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
Radmilo did not expect to see Keith now. Nevertheless, he was able to maintain a calm expression. "Um, I want to go for a walk. I think I need some fresh air to get rid of my trauma."
"What trauma?"
"I just saw a person who looks like me coming out of Dianella's apartment. And your sister attacked him brutally that his hand was badly injured, making anyone who saw him feel sick."
Keith was silent as his memory drifted to the incident when he met the mysterious man. He understood the injury Radmilo was talking about. It was indeed an injury that would send chills down an ordinary person.
"Okay, enjoy your time. Do you want to walk out of the apartment with me?"
"Why not?" Radmilo smiled at Keith and gave him the code to go ahead. "How is Dianella now? I'm sure she's shocked by this incident."
"You don't know my sister yet. She may be shocked for a moment, but she will go mad afterward. Now she's devising a plan to kill that man if he ever comes again."
"Thank goodness, she's not traumatized. But still, you have to watch over her."
"Sure. I'll do it."
The conversation between Radmilo and Keith continued. After talking about Dianella, they started discussing guilds and raids. They even talked about the problems that befell the IRO.
Everything was running normally. People would assume that Radmilo and Keith were close friends. However, Keith did not lower his suspicions one bit from the start. He still harbored suspicions about Radmilo
"You have a nice body," Keith said while looking at Radmilo's shoulder. "Did you go to the gym?"
"No. I exercise at home. I have to take care of my health to be a good dungeon cleaner."
Keith said nothing when Radmilo explained about the exercise he was doing. Suddenly, he threw a punch at Radmilo's head.
"W-what are you doing...?" Radmilo asked while holding his head.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Keith feigned surprise. "There was a bug on your head. I must have lost control because I'm used to fighting monsters."
"I see. I thought I made a mistake so you hit me."
"No, you did nothing wrong. Forgive my careless actions."
Keith actually hit Radmilo's head on purpose to see the man's reflexes. It turned out Radmilo did not dodge his attack. He was not sure whether Radmilo was intentionally not avoiding him or if the man was just an ordinary person, so his fast punches could not be avoided.
Meanwhile, Radmilo managed to contain his irritation and created a fake confused expression. He was grateful because he and Keith would be separated soon. They stopped chatting after arriving outside the apartment.
Radmilo went to wait for the taxi he ordered, while Keith went to the parking lot. The taxi arrived quickly because he had ordered it earlier. It took about an hour to arrive at the beach he was headed for.
He had to take two different taxis because the first driver could not take him to the beach. The reason was that the beach was close to a gate. People were still afraid to be around the gate ever since the sudden gate explosion incident at Broken Hill.
"Well, here I am," Radmilo muttered as soon as he stepped on the beach sand.
It was night and he could see the lights burning around the beach. However, no one was there. When he wanted to go further in, someone suddenly shouted at him from a distance.
"This place has been rented by the Golden Wattle guild! I forgot to put up a warning sign there!"
Radmilo stopped walking and waited for the person to come in front of him. He narrowed his eyes because the person looked familiar in his memory.
"I'm sorry. I should have put up the sign, but I couldn't because I was busy. I hope you can understand."
There was no response from Radmilo because he still identified the person. He then remembered that he had once destroyed that person's stone. It was fortunate for him that this situation occurred.
"I can understand," Radmilo finally said something. "I'm a dungeon cleaner from the Tasmanian Devil guild. The reason I came here was to get some fresh air. I didn't know this beach was rented by someone else."
Chen, that person, was slightly surprised when he found out the man in front of him was from the Tasmanian Devil guild. Even though there was never any real conflict, people did know that Tasmanian Devil and Golden Wattle were competing to prove which guild was the best.
"You better get out of here right now," Chen suggested as he remembered Ellery was on this beach.
If Ellery knew someone from the Tasmanian Devil guild was coming, he would make a scene as he did with Dianella. People already knew they were fighting in the Guild Union while taking the test.
"Okay. I'll be going now. Sorry for disturbing your time."
Radmilo smiled at Chen before walking away from the beach. However, he could not get out of there because a dungeon suddenly appeared. He immediately took a step back as the iron bars appeared right in front of his face.
At first, he thought a monster had just moved its dungeon to this beach. But he was wrong. There was not a single monster after the appearance of the irons.
It meant one thing; what appeared was not a dungeon, but a gate.
