Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 67 Don’t Get Me Wrong

The Awakeners and Hunters Council had planned to destroy the Kiss of Death before the gate explosion case occurred. However, they had to postpone the plan because of a bigger problem. They would use their best people to take care of the emergency meeting.

As a result, they were forced to free Kiss of Death because they could not send inexperienced people to set up an ambush. The IRO had also predicted the evil organization would mess up at the emergency meeting.

The evil organization that dared to challenge the IRO was only Kiss of Death. Others would not dare because powerful people would gather in the conference hall. Tyrone's power frightened them. That was what made the IRO not reveal the news of his attack.

They were worried the evil organization would move when they found out that Tyrone could not use his power. Nevertheless, Kiss of Death sent threats to the IRO blatantly. They would not dare act like that without having some guarantee.

"It's actually a secret," Emrick said, causing everyone to stop looking at their cell phone screens. He then continued in a serious tone, "Kiss of Death already has a new leader. I think that new leader is the mastermind of their plan."

Those who did not know about the information were shocked immediately. Even though they were from different councils, they knew who the previous leader of Kiss of Death was. It was Enrique, who had power similar to Emrick's.

The people of The Awakeners and Hunters Council were responsible for taking care of the awakeners who had gone bad. They came to know about Enrique's character. That man was not someone who would give his position away easily to others. If he did that, then it could only mean one thing.

"Is Enrique dead?" Elias from the Joint Committee raised a question that was on everyone's heads.

Emrick was silent for a moment before answering. "That hasn't been confirmed. But I also think Enrique is dead. Therefore, we should be on guard. The man who can kill him must be strong."

No one disagreed with that opinion. They did not know who the spies from The Awakeners and Hunters Council were, but they were sure Emrick chose the best spies for Kiss of Death.

However, Emrick had no information about Enrique's death. That was enough to prove the new leader had killed or controlled the spy Emrick sent.

"Are the other councils want to send their people?" Daryl asked while looking at a man sitting on the bench of the International Guild Council.

That man was Yash, who was appointed by Lynette to replace her in the sudden meeting. Yash had to do that since Lynette left to treat Tyrone. When he opened his mouth, everyone could see his fangs.

They also noticed all of his fingers were covered in bandages. Yash was neither a vampire nor a person who had an accident at his hands. His fangs appeared when he experienced an awakening. He had to bite one of his fingers until they bled to use his fire powers.

"Of course. I will discuss it with Miss Lynette," Yash said while giving a smile. "Please allow the Phantom guild to join. I think they can take on the Kiss of Death. The security team of the Gates and Security Council rarely has awakeners with Unique Powers."

That last sentence made people gasp in surprise. They knew this meeting would be used by important members of the IRO to offend each other. If it was a formal meeting, then Yash would not have dared to say such a thing.

Everyone's gazes now fell on the seats of The Dungeons and Gates Security Council. However, the head of the council did not respond with the sentiment. Hector Ritter had much experience that he would not throw a tantrum when someone offended him.

Instead, he would be the one to irritate those people and make them think they should not have brought him up in the first place.

"I gave facilities to awakeners who weren't accepted in any guild because they were seen as weak. If I'm not mistaken, there was a top guild that didn't accept awakeners just because they didn't have any Unique Powers. I think they should change their guild nickname to the world's most discriminating guild."

The response from Hector caused Yash to clench his fists. He had reason to offend Hector. In the past, The Dungeons and Gates Security Council had a more powerful position. They often fought with other council members because they were too arrogant, thinking they had saved the world.

Unfortunately, their prestige started to fall apart when Maido came and the gate explosion did not happen again. Security teams rarely deal with dangers because of this. When that happened, the other councils began to have a good influence.

Yash wanted to take revenge because the people from the security team used to make fun of him in the past. They were very arrogant because they thought they were the ones who allowed the Phantom guild to carry out raids safely.

Despite this fact, Hector was still arrogant. He could respond to Yash's words calmly. Everyone present at the meeting knew Hector had just insinuated that the Phantom guild only accepted strong awakeners. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"Why are you guys even arguing? I asked Yash without meaning to let this kind of fuss happen," Daryl spoke with a smile to calm things down.

People who were not members of the IRO must think Daryl Green was a good person. In reality, he was only pretending. Some members of the IRO were able to spot his lie right away.

Daryl deliberately asked Yash because he knew it would not end peacefully. Even though people already knew about his behavior, they could not take action because there was no proof.

Lynette and Emrick were the only rational and sane people at the IRO. Emrick needed to handle this unexpected meeting because Lynette had gone to heal Tyrone.

"I don't accept any debate at this meeting," Emrick finally said something. He glared at Yash and Daryl. "If I hear it again, then I'll have to order the security team to drag you from the room."

Yash and Daryl had no choice but to comply as they want to stay in the meeting. Meanwhile, Hector smirked at Yash, knowing he did not need to put up words to argue.

Once the situation of the meeting returned to peace, Emrick conducted the meeting smoothly. He was pretty great because he could remember any event that happened and tell everyone what they should do.

The sudden meeting ended two hours later. They had agreed to work together to deal with the threat from Kiss of Death. All they had to do now was take a break and meet Tyrone to make their plans official.

Maido was on his way to his room when he noticed Daryl walking not far in front of him. He immediately remembered what happened at the meeting. Despite the bad rumors about Daryl, the man had left a good impression on him.

"E-excuse me, sir!" Maido exclaimed while patting Daryl's back lightly.

At the same time, Daryl stopped talking to his friend because he felt the pat. He then turned his head to find a young man smiling at him awkwardly.

Daryl instantly realized the young man was Maido. This was the first time they spoke. Their ages were far apart, and they came from different councils, so they could not get to know each other closely.

"Yeah? Do you need something?" Daryl asked back with raised eyebrows.

Meanwhile, Maido looked a bit surprised when he noticed Dieter was among the people who were with Daryl. He ignored Dieter's death glare and answered the question earlier.

"I want to thank you for helping me with the meeting."

"I helped you? When?"

"When you say you agree with my opinion. It means a lot to me."

Daryl laughed so hard that his shoulders shook. People who were still nearby turned to look at him because his laughter was louder than their footsteps.

"Don't get me wrong," he said with a big smile and patted Maido's shoulder. "I didn't help you at all that time. We just happened to have the same thoughts. And one more thing, don't greet me as if we know each other. Know your place, please." 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Maido's pat on the shoulder turned into a grip. Now he understood why Daryl had such a bad reputation at the IRO. He reluctantly responded, "I'm sorry about that. Thanks for reminding me."

Daryl was still smiling as he examined Maido's appearance from head to toe. After that, he walked back while talking with his friends.

At the same time, Geovanni exited the meeting room after conversing briefly with Hector. His attention immediately fell on Maido who was watching Daryl leave. It seemed that something had happened since the people in the hallway glanced at Maido in whispers.

Geovanni wanted to scold Maido for causing so much trouble. However, he could not do that in front of many people. He then dragged Maido into a private room to teach the young man how to behave properly.
