Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 66 Sudden Meeting

The attack on Tyrone was immediately communicated to all members of the IRO. An hour ago, everyone in the hotel gathered in one room. Their expressions were sour.

The emergency meeting was only a few days away, and the president was struck by an incident that cost many parties. Tyrone had made backup plans in case something unexpected happened like this.

But still, they could not stay calm knowing someone was trying to mess up their organization. They speculated the attacker was related to the gate explosion case.

"The president will provide a sketch of the man after he fully recovers," Emrick said, bringing the discussion about the security team to a close. "We should get the sketch out to the public. That way, we can catch the mysterious man before the meeting arrives."

That was a great idea. However, everyone remained silent because they did not want the idea to backfire on them.

"I apologize, sir. But we have agreed not to reveal information about the president's attack," Geovanni, who sat alongside The Gates and Dungeons Security Council, finally spoke up.

Emrick, on the other hand, did not take his advice well. Instead, he cast a condescending glance at Geovanni. "What happened to your brain? I didn't say we should spread the word about the president being attacked."

Geovanni tried not to clench his fists or show anything that would indicate he was upset. Even though he was offended, he could not complain because Emrick held a higher position than him.

"I'm sorry, sir," the old man chose not to aggravate the situation. "I didn't give it much thought because I was concerned about how the public would react."

"All right. I can understand that. Does anyone else have any good ideas?" ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

Three people raised their hands and caught everyone's attention. Everyone was not surprised when they saw Daryl and Renate wanted to give their opinion. Daryl was from The Awakeners and Hunters Council, while Renate was a secretary at the IRO.

Both had an important role in the organization. Because of that, people were quite surprised when they saw Maido also raising his hand. He had made valuable contributions to the organization, but everyone was aware of his poor public image.

The delegation from Germany had filed a complaint and demanded that Maido be sanctioned. At that time, the IRO asked them to wait until the emergency meeting arrived. As a result, Germany's relationship with the IRO was strained.

Maido should have realized the German delegation present at the time did not like him. If he made a mistake today, not only the German delegation but everyone present would be hostile to him.

Geovanni tried to stop Maido by apologizing to everyone. Unfortunately, he failed because Emrick asked Maido to speak instead. He bit his lower lip to keep from saying anything harsh.

Meanwhile, Maido stood up from his seat after receiving permission from Emrick. He ignored the attention that was being paid to him. In any case, he needed to fix his reputation today.

"I realize I made a huge mistake. Because of that, I want to fix it," Maido started to explain and people looked at him with curiosity.

He then continued, "Allow me to use my power to predict the condition of the emergency meeting."

Dieter from the German delegation intended to interrupt, but he did not raise his hand because he wanted to hear what Maido would have to say next.

"After what happened, I understand that many of you are skeptical of my power. However, there's no harm in giving it a shot. If my prediction is correct, the emergency meeting should go well. I believe in the IRO security team. They can handle everything when my prediction is wrong."

What Maido said was valid. Furthermore, Tyrone had planned to use Maido if something unexpected occurred. Maido had only made two incorrect predictions so far. His accurate predictions were more than that.

As a result, everyone agreed to use Maido's power. They had agreed to it but became disinterested because Maido was discussing something they already knew.

"Is that all you wanted to talk about?" Emrick inquired, his face flushed with annoyance.

Maido was nervous because everyone seemed to be making fun of him, but he quickly regained his composure.

He then continued to speak in a confident tone. "I'm going to predict the people attending the emergency meeting. Isn't the person who attacked Mr. President suspected to be from us? I believe that person is planning to disrupt the meeting. Thus, please allow me to stop him."

Everyone in the room immediately thought that Maido was very brave. How could he speak so openly about a traitor? He did not even have a family or anyone to fall back on if something went wrong because of what he said.

Daryl, on the other hand, did not want to create a stir about the organization's traitor problem. He decided to stand up and bring everyone's attention to him.

"I really appreciate Maido's thoughts," he said with a friendly smile. "There's no harm in hearing his opinions. I agree with what he said about someone from us might betray the organization. That person wouldn't dare to do anything if Maido predicted it, right?"

No one dared to protest because the words made sense. They had suspected a traitor as soon as they found out Tyrone's eye was injured. Tyrone's eyes were clearly being targeted by the mysterious man to prevent him from using his Power Barrier during the emergency meeting.

There was a lot of speculation about who the man was. However, the most logical explanation was that he was either an IRO traitor or a member of Kiss of Death.

They were one hundred percent sure the man could come to Tyrone because of Elena's teleportation power. The teleportation items for sale could not transport people to Tyrone's location. Elena from Kiss of Death was the only one who could do it.

"All right, we have agreed on that," Emrick said, motioning for Maido to return to his seat. He pointed at Daryl and asked, "Would you like to share another opinion?"

"I just wanted to express my support for your idea. We will make up a fake news story and make the mysterious man a criminal. I'll handle everything related to fake news. If you don't mind, of course."

Emrick smiled back when Daryl smiled at him. "Then you can take responsibility for it after getting permission from Mr. President."

Daryl sat back down after saying his gratitude and looked at Renate, who immediately stood up.

"I'm not going to express my opinion," Renate said ahead of Emrick, who had just opened his mouth. She did not care when some people looked at her as if to say that she was not polite.

The woman adjusted her glasses and took up the phone she had been using since the meeting started. "You must think I'm rude in paying attention to other things. But something is interesting you should know."

"And what do you mean by interesting, Miss Renate?" Emrick tried to calm down after being treated harshly because Renate came from a greater family than him.

"I received some anonymous emails. They threatened to cause a commotion in the conference hall."

"Can their email be traced?"

Renate got to her feet to show Emrick the email. "They make use of temp mails. I think that makes it hard to get their location."

"Should we increase the security team?" Emrick asked while reading the emails the anonymous had sent.

"I think they also sent that email to everyone at the IRO. Please review the email that was sent to you. You can make your own decision after reading it."

When they heard that, everyone went straight to their phones to check the email Renate was referring to. It turned out what the woman said was true. They all received emails from anonymous people.

The anonymous e-mail addresses were random. However, they found an email address with the name 'Chester'. Their minds immediately went to one person when they heard that name.

"Isn't this Chester from Kiss of Death?" Asher from the Joint Committee raised his hand immediately.

"Yeah, he is," Renate replied, rolling her eyes. "He often sends threats like that and most of his threats are actually carried out. I think his threats this time are serious because Elena from his organization was also involved with the attack on the president."

Everyone sighed as it became clear that the emergency meeting would not be peaceful. They did not understand why Kiss of Death was so confident and openly attacking the IRO. Did they have the support of a powerful person?

That mysterious man had to be the one who got them in trouble with the IRO. The important members of the IRO found out that Kiss of Death had a new leader. However, they could not confirm whether the mysterious man was the new leader they were looking for.
