"I'm sure you know how strong I am. You can't possibly win against me."
Enrique still gave Radmilo a chance to change his mind. After all, that man was Muramasa's subordinate, a pretty useful member of the organization. He got a lot of money from Muramasa, who was selling illegal items.
When he was thinking about Muramasa, he suddenly became suspicious. Muramasa used to be rude because he felt he made a significant contribution to the organization, but he knew when to stop.
"Are you from the IRO?" Enrique asked because he remembered people from the IRO always wanting to arrest him.
Radmilo laughed and then threw the badge he took from the dungeon smugglers. "Does it make sense when someone from the IRO wants to be the head of an evil organization? Muramasa has to select people who will be his henchmen next time. They're too weak."
The golden badge on the floor instantly caught the attention of everyone in the room. There were still bloodstains on the badge, letting them know what had happened. Muramasa's henchmen would at least get C-Rank if they became a hunter.
It only meant one thing. The crazy guy who suddenly came to fight Enrique had a high rank. They stopped belittling him once they learned the truth. However, they were sure that Radmilo was no match for Enrique.
"You've been watching too many movies. Do you really want to die here today?" Enrique did not start the fight because he had to know what kind of person he would be fighting.
From the very beginning, he had suspected Radmilo. That was the reason he said he would use his power if someone made a fuss at the meeting. It seemed that his threat could not frighten Radmilo.
"Why did I have to die today?" Radmilo smiled. He had no reason to fear Enrique. Then he sat down on a chair near the podium.
After observing Radmilo's behavior, Enrique squinted his eyes. "Is this your way of trying to show off? Stop messing around if you want to fight me."
He started doubting Radmilo since he did not show any abilities. Radmilo looked like just someone who wanted to get attention by making a fuss.

Enrique's face turned gloomy at Radmilo's words.
The entire room fell silent, and no one moved from the unbearable tension. They knew this place would fall apart the moment Enrique used his power. Some people who felt unable to deal with the damage from his power chose to leave the room.
Enrique gritted his teeth when he noticed Radmilo smiling behind his mask. "I will send you to hell today. Amphiptere! Throw out!"
As he said those words, a hole appeared in the air and a vast shadow also shot out from it. It was Amphiptere, a golden snake with bat wings, which shattered the room as it roared.
The entire room was a complete mess. The roar of the amphiptere blew away everything and the people there. However, those who were strong could still keep their chairs, including Radmilo.
They did not expect Radmilo to deal with the roar of the amphiptere. Someone among them had been watching him for a long time and knew that the man did not even blink when the amphiptere roared right in front of him.
"This is the power of the strongest criminal organization in the world. I'm sure you can't defeat this!"
When the amphiptere spread its wings to fly toward Radmilo, he quickly snapped his fingers and time stopped. He had no time to play around here. He would at least spend his fifteen minutes defeating the amphiptere when he wasn't using <pause>.
The Amphiptere did not move now, giving Radmilo a chance to kill him without a hitch. He stood up, raised his sword, and slashed at the monster's head. After defeating the amphiptere, he went back to his chair and deactivated his skill to make time run again.
People there gasped when they saw the amphiptere's head separated from its body. They did not understand how the monster died in an instant. 'Does that crazy man have an incredible speed that can beat light?'
The most shocked of them all was Enrique. He had to defeat the monsters he wanted to put into his space. Because of that, he knew the amphiptere was not a monster that could be defeated in the blink of an eye.
"W-who did that?" Enrique refused to believe that the one who killed the amphiptere was Radmilo.
He preferred to think that someone strong from the IRO had suddenly come and killed the monster. His self-esteem was so high. When an unknown person could defeat a monster from his space, then he would feel embarrassed.
However, Enrique could not get Radmilo out of his mind. He looked at the man to find that blood was still dripping from his sword, proving that he was indeed the one who had finished the amphiptere.
"So you are really strong. I should have known that since you challenged me to a fight."
Radmilo did not give any response. He made Enrique angry and ashamed at the same time.
After that awkward silence, Enrique decided to ask, "May I know who you are? I've never heard of someone who can defeat a monster in no time."
"You think I'm so stupid to tell you who am I?" Radmilo answered with a laugh. "Just call me the leader, because I'm already the head of the organization."
Enrique looked at him, surprised. He had almost forgotten that Radmilo came here to take his place. "How did you become the head of the organization? Don't be too big-headed because you only won once."
"I can kill in the blink of an eye. It doesn't matter if it's a human or a monster. I can kill them anytime I want."
"But I and everyone else here don't know who you are. Therefore, you can't—"
Before Enrique could finish speaking, Radmilo pointed his sword at him. "If you doubt me, then I will prove it now. I can kill you in an instant. Won't I be the leader if you die?"
Enrique fell silent. The man in front of him looked serious. His expression, words, and actions showed he was ready to kill anyone who stood in his way.
Meanwhile, all the organization members who were still in the room were waiting for their leader's answer. They also thought that Radmilo could mess up the organization. If Enrique gave the wrong answer, then no one knew what would happen.
"Why do you want to be the head of the organization?" Instead of answering, Enrique asked a new question.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRadmilo sighed. "I'm the number one IRO hater. Is that enough?"
"People here have a grudge against the IRO. However, we can't entrust our goal of destroying the IRO to you."
Radmilo looked at everyone in the room. "You think you can achieve that goal with such a stupid leader?" he asked, or perhaps scoffed.
"I don't understand all your behavior. Aren't you the stupid one here? Our organization has been around for several years and the IRO could not destroy us. Why do you think this organization can still survive?"
One of them mustered up the courage to speak. She was Elena Trefilova, an awakener with the power to teleport. She was the one who created the teleportation portal for the organization.
"I have information about the IRO and all of you. Even though you are strong, you can't do anything when you are short on information," Radmilo responded calmly. He had to argue with them because he did not want to kill Enrique. After all, Enrique was someone he could use in the future.
Elena glared as she said, "Stop talking nonsense! You can lose when we attack you at the same time."
"Then try to attack me."
Nobody acted after Radmilo said that. They did not know what the man in front of them could do. The man could not be so calm if he did not have any abilities.
"I know your name and the trigger to use your power." Radmilo looked at Elena. "You have to use your eyes as the trigger. I won't go into details, since this is just evidence that I know anything."
Elena fell silent in surprise. She had to stare at the person or object she wanted to teleport to for a few moments. The more people and things she wanted to teleport to, the longer she had to stare at them.
No one knew about the trigger of her power. However, a man she did not know found out about it. She told no one about the trigger of. Also, she was always hiding from others' sight while using her power, so they could not find the trigger.
People saw how Elena was silent in shock and they knew Radmilo was not saying nonsense. The man knew everything about them. Even though it sounded impossible, they had no other guess why Radmilo could find out information about Elena.
"Would you like any other evidence? I can reveal your identities one by one," Radmilo offered, making everyone there confused. They could not think straight because two shocking events happened at the same time.
