Should I Become a Villain?

He introduced himself to others as Muramasa, the name of a famous swordsmith in Japan. Giving curses was his power. He used the name Muramasa because swords made by the swordsmith were considered a curse by people.

No one knew Muramasa's true identity in Kiss of Death. Organization members believed he was not Japanese because his accent was different. Nonetheless, they could not prove it, since Muramasa never showed his face to anyone.

Muramasa was a relatively new member compared to all members in Kiss of Death. However, he had given contributions to the organization, as his equipment made a lot of money.

Everyone acknowledged the greatness of Muramasa. He had been considered the main member and was always brought up when the organization was in big trouble. Even today, he was present at the meeting because other members forced him to come.

Inside the meeting room, there was a large round conference table, and sixteen people had come. They were wearing masks and cloaks, prepared if the IRO suddenly found this place. They did not want the IRO to recognize them and distribute posters with their faces on it.

"You guys are late," Enrique spoke when he saw Muramasa arrive with Elena. They came not on time and forced him to postpone the meeting.

However, Muramasa did not show that he felt guilty. He did not apologize and just sat down without replying to Enrique. No one complained about his attitude because they had gotten used to it.

"I'm sorry. We're late because we have to take care of something," Elena explained, knowing that Enrique would be furious if she kept her mouth shut. "Let's forget about this and start the meeting."

Chester, who was sitting next to Elena, immediately chimed in. "I agree. We'd better start this meeting since we've already spent ten minutes waiting for them."

"Why are you wearing such clothes?" Elena frowned when she realized that a pink cloak was wrapped around Chester's body.

"What's wrong with my clothes? A villain must have a unique style."

Everyone in the room ignored Chester, who seemed to be watching too much anime. Enrique tapped the table with his finger to get everyone's attention.

"You already know why this meeting is being held," Enrique said, about to continue if Muramasa did not raise his hand. "What's the matter?" he reluctantly asked.

"I don't know about what happened to the organization. Elena has explained the situation to me, but I have to confirm it with everyone. Is it true that a stranger suddenly messed with our organization?"

Muramasa lowered his hand after saying that.

"Unfortunately, that's true. Yesterday's meeting should have been held to discuss the IRO knowing our auction site. We didn't have time to discuss it because the stranger made a mess." Enrique looked irritated when he spoke about the incident.

He did not want to lose his position in an embarrassing way. Even the stranger did nothing to him and made him look like a weak leader who could not protect his organization. However, he had no choice because the man was showing stronger dominance.

"Sorry I didn't come to the meeting," said Muramasa. He appeared to be unconcerned about the fact that a stranger had beaten Enrique.

"That's something you shouldn't miss." Chester chimed in and everyone became wary of what he was going to say next. "Even our organization has changed its name to MILF."

"Our new leader is a man of culture."

"Exactly."

That pointless conversation irritated a big man sitting in front of Chester and Muramasa. He took the brooch from his cloak, placed it on the table, and flicked it at Chester.

The brooch was blown away quickly, but Chester was able to dodge it. However, he realized he was too late to dodge and let the brooch scratch the skin on his cheek until it peeled off.

His eyes widened as he noticed the blood dripping from his cheek. Just as Chester was about to protest, the brooch hit the wall of the room and created a large crack.

"I know why this meeting is being held. However, I'm here to confirm that I won't fight against our new leader. If you want to fight him, then you can do it without me," the big man spoke, not giving Chester a chance to curse at him.

"Why did you do it?" Enrique asked. His eyes were filled with suspicion. "Do you know something about the new leader?"

"I just don't want to make matters worse for us. Let him lead us and see what will happen."

"What a coward you are," Kai suddenly chimed in and scolded the big man. He was disappointed about how Svein had acted.

"It's okay. I'll admit it!" Svein, the big man, yelled back. "You've become a coward too! You've been afraid of our new leader. That's why you didn't dare attack him!"

The entire room turned silent. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to think. The atmosphere was tense because no one knew what to say.

They could not be mad at Svein's words because it was true. Even from the start, they were not sure about the plan to attack the new leader.

"So, what should we do now?" Elena spoke again. She was confused because a stranger had changed the position of the head of the organization.

Enrique thought for a moment before answering, "We need to kill him. No one knows who he is. I think we have a chance of winning if we attack him together."

"What if we fail? That would be the most embarrassing thing for me."

Everyone looked at Svein, who had stood up from his chair. It looked like he was about to leave the room.

"But we will have to do it, eventually. Right?"

Muramasa said those words with confidence. No one argued with him because they agreed, except for Svein. They thought it would be better if they tried to attack the new leader first, rather than doing nothing.

"I don't care. I had decided."

After saying that in a cold voice, Svein walked out of the room. Chester became irritated that everyone was watching Svein.

Apart from being ignored, Chester also thought that nothing good would happen if he joined in attacking the new leader. Because of that, he stood up and caught people's attention.

"I'll follow your plan only if Muramasa kisses my shoes," Chester announced before he left the room with Svein.

After the two people left, there were only fourteen people in the room. Enrique thought they were sufficient to help with his plan. Even though Chester and Svein were very useful, he would not beg them to join him.

"Just ignore them." Enrique's voice caught the attention of those who had originally been staring at Chester and Svein.

"First of all, we have to lock our new leader in a place where he can't escape," he continued, looking at Elena, who immediately understood what he was telling.

"Okay, I'll teleport him to your space. Do I need to send the other members, too?"

"The monsters in my space aren't easy to beat. Let's put it this way. We'll make two teams. One for inside the space and one for guard outside. Our new leader is full of surprises. I think he can escape from my space. When that happens, the team on the outside must attack him immediately."

The people in the room glanced at each other, thinking about which team they would be on.

"I'll be keeping watch outside," Elena was the first to decide. "If he escapes, then I'll try to send him back into the space."

"Then I'll go with Elena. I can burn him if he runs away," Kai said, blowing on his hand and fire appeared on it.

A girl petted the little black wolf in her lap and joined the conversation. "My Milo has a keen sense of hearing and smell. I think he can catch up with our new leader if Elena and Kai fail."

"That's a good plan, Miss Helen."

The girl called Helen gasped when someone whispered in her ear. She then hugged Milo, the wolf monster she tamed, and took quick steps to get away from the person. Her heart was still beating hard because she did not expect a masked man to appear behind her.

The lineups for the attacking and guarding teams should have been finalized, as Enrique expected. Unfortunately, this meeting did not end peacefully.

In an instant, everyone realized the man who suddenly appeared was their new leader. They did not know when or how the man had gotten into the room. But they knew for sure he had heard of their plans.

Radmilo, on the other hand, took Helen's chair. He kept his hand on his chin and then stared at everyone. "Why don't you welcome your leader? I also want to be a part of your plans."

No one answered the question. Everyone waited warily, prepared to use their powers in case Radmilo did something to them.
