Should I Become a Villain?

Dianella drew her dagger while still clutching the man's neck with her knuckle. She could not use poison or anything else because she needed information from that man. It was strange because he disguised himself as Radmilo, not someone important.

Wasting no time, she immediately thrust the dagger into the man's right hand. She aimed for his hands to reduce his effectiveness in wielding weapons. However, the man was good at dodging.

The man could see Dianella's intentions, so he moved his right hand, causing the dagger to stab the floor.

"Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Dianella. But I'm left-handed. It won't change anything if you manage to injure my right hand."

Dianella growled. She swung her dagger to attack the man's hand again. "I just need to stab your hands, right? That way you won't be able to use your hands."

The man giggled while dodging all of Dianella's attacks. He knew his hand would end when the dagger stabbed him. The dagger was powerful enough to shatter the floor.

"I'm going to be serious from now on."

As soon as the man spoke, he broke free from Dianella's grip. He was moving so quickly that Dianella did not even notice.

The girl sensed danger. She had to get out of the way because the man knew where she was. However, before she could move, something grabbed her leg. She turned and found a red rope already wrapped around her.

Dianella cursed as soon as she realized it was a magic rope. Hunters usually did not make magic ropes their main weapon because the magic would only last for around fifteen minutes. The magic rope would bind the target within that time.

There was no way to unbind the magic. The only condition to break free from the bound magic was to be stronger than the person who created the magic rope. However, the creators usually were S-rank hunters aided by a great blacksmith.

In other words, Dianella was unable to remove the rope because she did not have an S-rank. She had tried to cut the magic rope with her dagger and knuckle but failed.

"Nah, it's a waste of time and energy."

The girl glanced around her apartment to see where the magic rope had come from. It came out that the rope led to her room. The mysterious man appeared to have escaped there.

A moment later, the magic rope moved and pulled Dianella. She gritted her teeth as she thought of a way out of this problem.

"Lexie, call Keith Smith!"

Dianella shouted to give instructions to Lexie, the assistant robot in the living room. The robot was a birthday gift from Keith. It could execute simple commands like warning schedules or calling contacts already stored in the database.

Meanwhile, Lexie the assistant robot heard Dianella's voice and immediately carried out her orders.

"Who is Lexie? I'm sad because you didn't introduce me to your friends," the mysterious man came out of the room and stopped pulling the magic rope.

Dianella deactivated her power, so the man could see her raise her middle finger. For now, she would stop using her power because the magic rope had caught her.

"You're being rude, you know. But fine. I'm going to find your friend since you didn't want to tell me."

The man walked while pulling on the magic rope, causing Dianella to be pushed aside and cursed at him. He ignored the girl to find a robot named Lexie. However, he had trouble finding the robot.

"I didn't want to do this, but you forced me."

After saying that, the man took out a mace from his inventory and started destroying things around him. Dianella watched that while screaming hysterically.

Even though the things in her apartment were not as luxurious as those in her family mansion, they were still valuable. She bought all these items with her own money.

At the same time, Keith was in a meeting with his team when he received a call from Dianella. He left the meeting room because his sister rarely called at this hour.

He was silent to give Dianella a chance to speak. But all he heard was a man's voice. Keith thought Dianella was with someone and Lexie had a system error, so the robot contacted him incorrectly.

When he wanted to turn off the call, he suddenly heard Dianella's scream. His expression changed. The man was not his sister's friend.

Keith immediately quit while sending a message to his team that he had urgent business. He needed to save Dianella as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Dianella stopped screaming as she realized the man had stopped pulling on the magic rope. She then took out a spear from her inventory and threw it at the man.

"Argh, this bitch!"

The man growled as he caught the spear and crushed it. He then pulled on the magic rope, causing Dianella to rush towards him.

"You're really bad at using ranged weapons," he said as he grabbed Dianella's hair.

Dianella scowled at the man before spitting in his face. "I'm so sorry! I didn't tell you how good I am at spitting."

Her action succeeded in arousing the man's wrath. He did not think twice as he slammed Dianella's face against the floor.

"You need to learn etiquette!"

Dianella gripped the man's hand so tightly that her long, sharp nails dug into his skin. Nevertheless, the man had no intention of letting her go.

What kind of damage could women's fingernails cause? It would only cause minor injuries. The man immediately changed his mind when he saw Dianella manage to tear his skin.

"What is this...?"

He had no choice but to remove his hand from Dianella's hair. His pupils shook when he saw his hand bones. Dianella had just ripped his skin off, exposing the bones.

"Didn't you read the latest news about me? I plan to create artificial nails made of dragon scales and other tough materials. These nails can scratch armor and easily stab human skin."

Dianella explained while clutching the man's face while he was still in shock. She intended to poke his eyes but her hands were held by the man.

"You better build up your arm muscles. If you ignore my advice, you're going to have something like this next time."

Dianella bit her lower lip while trying to free her hand from the man. She cursed inside because she was lost in strength. Just as she was about to use her leg, the man suddenly let go of the magic rope and her hands.

It was not a comforting situation because the man intended to run away. Dianella immediately got up to chase after him. She could not let him escape because she needed to know what his motive was in impersonating Radmilo.

Outside the apartment, the real Radmilo was just about to knock on Dianella's apartment door when someone suddenly came out from there. He glared when he realized the person had a similar appearance to him.

Radmilo did not need confirmation to take action. He immediately ran to catch up with the man, while Dianella followed him from behind.

The people in the apartment hallway watched the two in confusion and curiosity. They screamed when they found the injury on the mysterious man's hand.

"Do you have a psychopath twin?" Dianella asked Radmilo because she could not hold back her curiosity.

"I only have a psychopathic older sister."

Dianella did not know whether Radmilo was joking or not because he had a serious expression. She put this aside, considering that they had to catch the man first.

Unfortunately, the man suddenly threw a smoke bomb, causing Radmilo and Dianella's view to be limited. They could not see clearly because of the smoke.

Even though the smoke had filled the entire hall, they did not give up. Radmilo looked around only to find that the man he was looking for had disappeared.

The only people he saw were apartment tenants. They screamed in a panic thinking a criminal had come to wreak havoc.

"The man ran away," Dianella said as she found no clues either.

One minute later, the smoke bomb effect disappeared. Radmilo and Dianella lost the man. They ran out of the apartment to see if the man was still around.

But still, they found nothing. It seemed that the mysterious man used a teleportation item to escape from the apartment.

"Hey, do you know anything about this? Someone suddenly disguised himself as you and met me. I didn't want to let him into my apartment at first. But I'm sure he would do something else to see me next time," Dianella spoke while fixing her messy hair.

Radmilo was silent because he knew nothing about this incident. He did not expect someone to pretend to be him. The only person he knew who could do that was Flint. However, he believed Flint did not know about his true identity.
