Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 90 Something Unexpected
Sion needed time to determine whether Radmilo was lying or not. The rare disease his mother had was not common. It related to the mysterious incident that took place all over the world.
Carys Rare Disease made its sufferers unable to adapt to magic. The IRO even stated a cure for the disease would not be found in the near future. All the organization could do was make temporary painkillers.
The potion was made from monster cores with healing powers. Those cores were usually owned by high-level monsters. That was why the potions were so expensive.
Nevertheless, Sion was optimistic as he thought the cure for the disease would be found. He just needed to be patient until the official announcement about the cure appeared. And today, he heard the disease could be cured, even though the statement did not come from the person he expected.
"Are you serious about what you said?" Sion narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
In the contract between him and Radmilo, there was no mention of the cure for Carys Rare Disease. Radmilo only promised to provide healing potions and some valuable items for Sion.
For this reason, Sion could not trust Radmilo.
Meanwhile, Radmilo actually did not know about the cure for the rare disease because the IRO had yet to find it in the future. But he unexpectedly discovered the cure from the quest rewards.
It turned out that the mystery of the human stone was related to Carys Rare Disease. Radmilo wanted to test the cure, so he needed Sion. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
"If you don't believe me then we can make a new contract," Radmilo shrugged his shoulders. "We didn't trust each other from the start. That's why we made a contract. But I don't mind if you don't trust me now."
Sion fell silent again. Radmilo acted as if the man needed him. However, Radmilo also implied that he could look for someone else. This made Sion want to quickly work with Radmilo.
"Tell me what you want from me."
Hearing this, Radmilo smiled behind his mask. "I need your power."
"What are you going to do with my power?" Sion raised an eyebrow. He could hypnotize anyone who met his eyes. That was what made him continue to wear blindfolds or sunglasses.
Hypnosis had been viewed as something negative. Sion was curious about what Radmilo would do with his power. Even though Radmilo could control time, he could not control other people like Sion.
"I'll tell you later," Radmilo replied as he rubbed his chin. "Maybe a week or a month from now? I can't give an exact time. My plans may change due to unforeseen events."
Sion became doubtful because Radmilo did not give the answer he wanted. However, the man would come for someone else if he rejected the offer now.
"Alright, let's make a new contract. I can do anything as long as you heal my mother."
"Woah, what a dutiful child you are!" Radmilo laughed softly as he got up from his chair. "Let's meet here again in a week. I need time to make the cure."
After saying that, Radmilo left the room. Sion looked at him for a moment before shifting his gaze to the potion he was holding. He would do anything for his mother, just like his mother did for him.
Sion was only raised by his mother. When he was born, his father left them for another woman. It annoyed him that his father never gave him money or attention. His mother had to work hard and did anything to make him survive every day.
Even when she caught the rare disease, she apologized to Sion for troubling him. Sion knew very well the disease could kill his mother. He cooperated with the IRO because he did not want to see that happen.
Today, he had to forget the kindness that IRO had given him. Sion had to let go of his guilt if he wanted to work with Radmilo. He was sure the man would order him to do something that would make him feel guilty again.
Meanwhile, outside the old base.
Chester leaned against a tree while glancing at his cell phone screen. Fifteen minutes ago, he got a message from the IRO asking him to come to the old base. IRO could contact him because he had a social media account.
His account had gained a lot of followers since the attack incident at the conference hall. People asked him about the kidnapping case because they believed Kiss of Death was the one who exposed the case to the public.
However, Chester ignored them and preferred to upload his selfies. That caused his followers to drop every day.
"I'll look for the people who stopped following my account and blow their heads off," Chester was talking to himself as he opened the camera.
He was dressed neatly today and wanted to upload his pictures to the internet. However, someone suddenly appeared from behind and tapped him on the shoulder.
"What are you doing here?"
Chester did not use his power as he found out the person was Radmilo. He glanced at the base building and found Sion, who had just left there.
It looked like Radmilo and Sion just talked about something. Chester initially planned to report Sion to Radmilo, but he did not have time. He sighed, realizing that Radmilo already knew Sion's true identity.
"I came here because the IRO told me to," Chester explained while showing a message on his social media. "They want to give your monster back. I came alone because I couldn't reach you. They said if I don't come now they will change their minds."
Radmilo took Chester's cell phone and read the message. It turned out the IRO really intended to give Zivile back. They contacted Chester as he was the only one they could call out of all the Kiss of Death members.
"Actually you don't need to come here," said Radmilo, returning the cell phone to Chester.
"I came because the monster is yours. If the monster was Muramasa's then I would send the IRO the middle finger emoji. Besides, how can you ignore the monster? You must have worked hard to get your hands on it."
"Yeah, I see what you're trying to say. But it was her fault. She should know what will happen if she can't take care of herself."
Chester had expected Radmilo to give such a response. But he asked to be sure. It turned out that the man would not help him if he lost to the enemy. Nonetheless, he still wanted to follow that man.
"Look. The people who contacted you have come," Radmilo spoke when several men suddenly appeared.
They came with Lynette. The other important people at the IRO were busy, so the woman came to the old base.
Lynette had been keeping her eyes on Radmilo since she showed up. "I didn't know you would come here, too."
"It's an honor for me to be remembered by someone like you," Radmilo responded in a soft voice.
"How could I forget the person who killed many people in my organization?"
This question made Radmilo laugh for a moment. He then asked back, "Do I have to apologize about that?"
Lynette clenched her fists. She wanted to attack Radmilo, but the IRO warned her from messing with Kiss of Death for the time being. If she thought about it again, she always felt mad.
The IRO would only attack when Kiss of Death attacked them first. For now, they would stay silent because they did not want to cause any new trouble. They would take action after the public anger had down.
The public did not care about the attack incident at the conference. All they wanted was IRO to solve the kidnapping case and improve the gate security system.
Lynette said nothing as she threw Zivile at Radmilo. The snake monster was bound by a very strong magic net. The net made Zivile unable to move her body or use her power.
"Do I have to return this magic net? This must be very expensive," Radmilo spoke while trying to remove the net from Zivile's body. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
"No need. I'll get it later when I come to you again."
A moment later, Lynette fled the old base using a teleportation item, followed by her people.
Radmilo was still removing the magic net when he remembered Lynette's words. The woman warned him that the IRO would come to arrest him later.
"Are you going to take her with you?" Chester asked after Radmilo managed to remove the magic net from Zivile's body.
"No. Take her to the new base!" replied Radmilo, throwing Zivile at Chester before leaving the old base.
Chester did not have time to refuse, so he was forced to take Zivile to the new base with him. Organization members who happened to be still staying there immediately came to him to ask how Zivile could come back.
On the other hand, Radmilo was busy researching the stone. He was also busy offering contracts to the monsters. Before he attacked IRO again, he needed to gather more enormous force.
