Should I Become a Villain?

"You? A spy? That was the funniest joke I heard all day!"

Svein laughed until his shoulders shook instead of taking Chester's words seriously. There was no way Chester could be a spy.

Actually, Svein had been watching the main members secretly. He put Chester's name last on the list of suspicious persons, because the man had never shown strange behavior before.

"I'd rather believe in aliens than your words," Svein said after he had stopped laughing.

Chester showed an irritated expression because the man in front of him did not react the way he expected. "Do you trust me that much? Who will know if I'm really a spy?"

"Well, I suspect other people are more than you. Do you know Sion? His mother is in hospital with a rare disease."

"I don't know about that."

Svein grinned at Chester as he moved his queen to check. "It's not surprising. You only know how to cause a commotion."

"You better watch your words if you don't want a fight here," Chester replied, using his bishop to protect his king.

"You must know the main members don't care about each other when they are outside the organization. But I went to find out about them since some of them were stronger than me. I didn't want to misbehave. At that time, I found out about Sion's mother. And IRO is the organization that is funding the research for that rare disease."

Chester focused his attention on the chessboard while carefully listening to the words. He had no idea how Svein spied on the main members. The man only had the power to control the air.

Therefore, Chester did not know how Svein use his power to spy on them. Nevertheless, he decided to believe it because the story about Sion sounded interesting.

"What kind of rare disease is it that the IRO wants to sponsor? They won't act if it's not related to the gate," Chester spoke after a few moments of silence.

"It seems you don't know about this rare disease. It appeared about a year after the gate explosion. A woman named Carys was brought to the hospital, and the doctors thought she had a heart attack. However, she didn't get better even after treatment-"

"So what's the point? I'll sleep if I listen to a long explanation."

A rough gasp escaped Svein's mouth. He already imagined that Chester would provoke his emotions. Even so, he could not complain because he wanted to discuss it with Chester.

"In short, Carys died, and no one knows what illness she had. There's no detailed information about what happened after that. However, the IRO analyzed Carys' body after receiving approval from her family. It turned out that she died because she couldn't adapt to the magic that appeared in our world," Svein tried to keep his explanation short.

Meanwhile, Chester could not concentrate on his play because he heard something interesting. He turned his gaze to Svein and asked, "Is Sion's mother also unable to adapt to magic?"

"Yeah. She can get treatment because the IRO has researched the rare disease. I think Sion has a good relationship with them. The IRO always visits families affected by that rare disease to encourage them."

"Does that thing make you think Sion is a spy sent by the IRO?"

Svein gave a nod, not continuing his play because Chester looked like he had given up. "That's right. Families of patients with the disease are usually not notified to the public, so the media doesn't bother them. However, I can get it after trying hard."

"Hmmm, I don't know Sion that well. But people always say he's a good guy. That's weird because we are an evil organization, haha."

"That's why I suspect Sion is the spy. Moreover, he has the power to hypnotize, making my suspicions even stronger. Who knows if he has an agreement with the IRO regarding his mother's disease?"

"The most distrustful here is you."

The question made Svein narrow his eyes suspiciously. He did not like it when he saw the smirk on Chester's face. "What do you mean?" he asked, still holding his anger.

"You know such information about Sion. Somehow, I feel you are provoking me to suspect him, too. Did you do that so I wouldn't suspect you are the spy?" said Chester, looking indifferent to the furious glint in Svein's eyes.

"Oh, please! I should have said no when you asked me here. I better get going before I go insane."

"Yeah, you better do that!"

As soon as Svein rose from his chair, Chester immediately smiled and waved his hand. What he got, however, was the middle finger from Svein. This made him snort.

Chester then researched the rare disease Svein mentioned. He had heard about the disease before, but his brain did not keep it because he felt it was none of his business.

After a brief search on the internet, Chester finally remembered the disease. It was a rare disease known as 'Carys.' The discoloration of the stone on the human hand was the primary symptom of the disease.

The original color of the stone was clear. If it turned abnormally red, then people should go to the hospital. They could die if the disease was not handled properly.

For the time being, there was no cure for the disease. The IRO and the hospital only slowed down the damage the patient would receive. Hence, people affected by the disease must be hospitalized.

Patients got free facilities on the condition that they were willing to join the research. If they refused, then they had to pay for the treatment.

"It's about this stone again," Chester muttered as he looked at the stone in his hand.

Initially, there was no accurate explanation of the stone. Everyone was as perplexed as when the gates first appeared in the world. Following the appearance of the rare disease 'Carys,' the IRO issued a preliminary statement claiming that the stones appeared to protect humans.

They warned the public not to do anything strange with the stone. Even so, many people were unconcerned because the stone had never been destroyed before.

Chester stopped looking at the stone and decided to leave the room. The smell of blood filled his nostrils as soon as he opened the door. He winced as he saw the blood and corpses in the corridor.

"What in the world?" The man cursed in disgust. He then became calm after realizing something. "Oh, I almost forgot. I'm the one who killed everyone in the club."

When Chester saw the innocent people he had killed, he walked down the corridor without feeling any guilt. He then took out his cell phone and plugged in his headsets.

He had been secretly recording his conversation with Svein since the beginning. That would make excellent reporting material. However, his primary focus was now on Radmilo's contract.

The new leader made Chester a good offer. He found it difficult to reject the offer and desired more time to consider it. Unfortunately, he had to make a decision quickly because his meeting with Radmilo was just around the corner.

***

The meeting time had finally arrived, which had been eagerly anticipated by all the main members. They gathered at the organization's headquarters on the private island because Elena could not discuss the new base yet.

The girl had discovered the dungeon mentioned by Radmilo in the contract, but she had to wait for approval from the new leader.

After the previous incident, the atmosphere at headquarters was tense. Nonetheless, they were forced to congregate in one room. They dared not argue about it for fear of inciting their new leader's anger.

Ten minutes later, the person they were waiting for showed up. However, Radmilo did not come alone to the organization's headquarters. There was a beautiful woman beside him. She bravely used nothing on her face.

The main members were confused and curious because the woman looked just like Enrique. She did not care if the IRO knew her face. Why did Radmilo suddenly bring her to the meeting?

"She's our new member," Radmilo said to answer the question that was on everyone's mind.

He took Zivile to the organization's headquarters because he could not hide her in his apartment. Zivile planned to stay until their contract ended.

"Who is she? We can't accept a suspicious member," Chester, who sat next to Zivile, immediately expressed his displeasure.

"Call her Zee. I guarantee she won't make a mess."

Chester cast a glance at Radmilo before returning his gaze to Zivile. "What is your power? We don't accept weak people into our organization."

Unfortunately, Radmilo refused to discuss Zivile at the beginning of the meeting. He immediately changed the topic by saying, "Today, I'll finalize the contract with you. Following that, I'd like to discuss the IRO emergency meeting."

Everyone was taken aback when the man suddenly brought the IRO into the conversation. They believed Radmilo was planning something with the IRO and they were included in his plans.
