Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-138

In the Greville Estate,

"So, it moves like this?" Lucas was practicing his mana control with a teacher that Arthur himself brought for Lucas.

Unlike Livia, who was currently learning directly from Nathan himself. He had seen that Livia had the aptitude for learning his sword art as she could grasp the basics of the Greatsword a bit better.

Oddly, her physical strength was also getting stronger since the moment she had awakened. The previously weak and ill Livia was long gone, and a more cheerful and stronger Livia had taken her place.

Usually, Sylvie would have felt a bit lonely as this time Asher was gone with Amelia as well, but the twins' presence kept her busy.

"Yeah, focus on controlling the mana, but keep increasing the power behind the spell," his teacher said as he patiently taught Lucas.

In Lucas's room, two men were standing, watching the teacher and protecting Lucas simultaneously.

Unlike Asher, the twins were more likely to be in danger because they were Ivar's children. Arthur and Sylvie didn't want to take any chances with the twins' safety, so most of the Greyhounds, the hunters trained by the Greville family, were guarding Lucas and Livia at all times.

But the ones present with Lucas were S Rank hunters. Even among the Greyhounds, there were only three SS Rank hunters. The first was the leader of the Greyhounds, and the second person was personally guarding the twins. The third one was out for a mission given by the family head, Arthur.

The leader of the Greyhounds was a person who only moved with Arthur or Nathan or otherwise was responsible for training the new hunters.

Right now, the leader of the Greyhounds was meeting with the other hunters he had trained himself.

"This is the target we have to be careful about," a photo of a woman was on display, and every person present was paying their utmost attention.

"We can't rely on the intel alone; spread your team members in Soran and report any suspicious activity to me," the leader said as he looked around.

*BEEP*

Their bracelets were shining red with a loud noise, and they all knew the meaning of this message.

************

The entire room was dead silent, and all the men were waiting for a D Rank Hunter to speak. All of them were stronger than Asher, except for Tom, who had caught on to what might have happened but was still confused.

'What?' Zach couldn't understand what Garreth was apologizing for.

He didn't know about the emergency call that Asher was talking about. He wanted to get out of this messy situation right now.

"Who are you guys?" Corey threatened both Dane and Kai as they grunted due to the pressure Corey was applying to their heads.

Asher turned as he wanted to know if Dane and Kai would react in this situation.

The Dane and Kai he knew were people that were broken when they met Asher, so they helped him do all that stuff in his previous life. But he wanted to know if their mentality was the same right now or not.

"A thief?" Dane said with a crazy smile on his face.

'Idiot,' Kai wanted to punch Dane right now, but he had no control over his body.

"Tell me your motives right now!" Corey increased his pressure as both Dane and Kai found it hard to breathe.

"What a brute," Dane said while his head was cemented to the ground.

Corey was losing his patience with both of them, but he had heard Asher's order clearly. Asher had clearly mentioned that he wanted both of them alive. Dane heard that clearly as well. He didn't know why the crazy heir of the Greville family, who was famous all over the internet, was interested in them.

But he did know that he didn't want them dead right now for some reason.

It was an opportunity for both him and Kai to have a chance to escape if they played their cards correctly.

Meanwhile, Kai was thinking exactly the opposite of what Dane was thinking. He didn't know about it earlier, but now he knew that Asher was a D Rank hunter; nothing made sense to him.

How could a young man like Asher intimidate professional killers like them?

And the fact that even Dane said he was dangerous, and he knew that Dane never said that unless he felt threatened by the other party.

'Not bad,' Asher could see that although not perfect, there were similarities in their behavior.

"Use mana cuffs on them; I will take them for interrogation," Asher said to Garreth, who nodded immediately.

Garreth walked up to Corey and used the S Rank Mana Cuffs that could be used to cut off the mana of an A Rank hunter completely, but their physical strength would still be present, although it was significantly reduced because their mana got cut.

Right now, both of their white shirts were stained with their blood that was still flowing. This is because the chains made the wounds, and they were such cuts that could not be healed in such a short time.

"But it might get dangerous," Zach suggested, as he wanted to score some points with Asher.

"I can help you escort them," Zach said with a smile on his face.

He thought Asher was still young, so if he acted nicely in front of him, he could make a good impression in front of the future head of the Greville family.

Zach wanted to see the reaction on Asher's face, but he got none. He was not sure what the young man in front of him was thinking.

*Boom*

A sound of a blast was heard as three men appeared on the broken balcony that was destroyed by Kai's attack.

"What do we have here?" Henry said while looking around at all the people in the room.

He could not see Asher behind the security team trying to capture Dane and Kai, who couldn't resist much right now.

"We got some tough guys here," Clara said as she looked at Zach and Corey.

They could sense that Zach and Corey were also S Rank Hunters, just like them.

"What should we do, Team Leader," Clara asked as the man in the middle stepped in.

"We are from the World Association, and I am Kayden Burnett, an S+ Rank hunter," Kayden introduced himself.

"The criminals we were looking for are present at this location," Kayden said as he looked around and saw two men down on the floor with mana cuffs on their wrists.

"And for vandalizing this hotel, we need all of you to come with us while my team finds the criminals," Kayden announced.

"What do you mean by that?" Zach asked, a bit flustered.

The World Association was the most powerful association and had the most hunters in the world aligned with them. So he didn't want to mess with someone who looked like a higher-up in the World Association.

"There seems to be a misunderstanding--" Zach spoke, but a voice stopped him.

"Arrest who?" Asher came forward, and the security team made way for him.

Kayden's eyes went wide, and so did Henry and Clara's, as they saw a young man with crimson red eyes in front of them.

"Red eyes," Clara immediately noticed his features.

'Asher Greville?' Kayden was almost sure that the young man before him was Asher Greville.

His footage of beating Alan in the Representative Tournament had gone viral, so most people knew his face now. And for a man like Kayden, who met influential people due to his work, it was obvious that he knew about Asher.

"You can go back now," Asher said, but Kayden frowned, and so did Henry and Clara.

Even the people in elite families treated S Rank hunters of the World Association with a bit of respect, but they had never seen someone so young use an authoritative tone on them.

"It seems you are mistaken, Heir Greville," Kayden said as the rest of his team of A+ Rankers also made their way up top.

"We are from the World Association, and we have permission to search for the criminals," Kayden replied, which made Henry and Clara smile.

They were happy that Kayden was stepping in front of Asher.

"And we need to do mana scans of every A Rank Hunter present here," Kayden said with a stern look on his face.

Corey was about to step in and mediate between Kayden, but before he could do so, serious pressure fell on Kayden and the rest of the World Association members.

Kayden's face turned pale as he looked up.

The hotel roof started to turn into dust, and the whole ceiling disappeared in a matter of 2 seconds. It was a unique type of magic that Asher, including the security team, was well familiar with.

"It seems you have a problem with our Young Master," a man spoke, but from his presence alone, Kayden could feel that he was an SS Rank hunter.

But what shocked Henry and Clara, even Zach and Corey, was the fact that there were 10 S Rank Hunters and an SS Rank Hunter floating in the air.

"But I am sure a wise man like you will understand that it was you who had a misunderstanding," a man with black eyes and grey hair looked at Kayden.

'Woah,' Dane could sense the oppression coming from these people, telling him they were strong.

'Dammit,' Dane said to himself, as he had no way of escaping now that so many high-ranking hunters were present here.
