Should I Become a Villain?

Radmilo's eyes went wide open. He tried to resist the fatal gunshot but failed. His armor cloak could not handle the damage from the shot.

"Arrrgggghhhh!!" Radmilo screamed as he collapsed on top of Tyrone's body.

However, the security team would not have been able to catch him because Zivile was moving fast. She flapped her wings and flew to carry Radmilo's body, using her tail.

The security team could not reach Zivile, since the monster was flying quickly. They immediately regretted not having killed the man. The rules forbade them from doing so.

Anyone who opposed the IRO could not be killed because the organization had to interrogate them first. The rules may change depending on the circumstances. Nonetheless, their attacks were far too slow compared to Zivile's.

"President!"

Their attention was distracted when they heard a groan. Their faces turned pale when they realized Tyrone's eye was injured. There were no other injuries to the president's body. The mysterious man seemed to only target his eye, as if he knew Tyrone was activating the trigger with his eyes.

It was suspicious because only the IRO people knew about it. So far, information regarding the organization had never been leaked to the public. If anyone had intended to do that for money, then the IRO would have finished them first.

"President, could you please deactivate your barrier? I can't use my power," someone raised a question, ending the depressing silence. He was a healer from the security team.

Tyrone took his hand away from his left eye to check how badly he was injured. A groan escaped his mouth as soon as he forced himself to look. The dagger stab really damaged his eye.

Even though he could avoid the poison from the dagger, the sharp blade managed to injure him. The system even informed Tyrone that his eye was 91% damaged.

The auto-healing provided by the system would be useless if the damage was that serious. Tyrone got auto-healing as a reward after completing many monthly quests. However, it did not work when he needed it the most.

"I can't," said Tyrone in a weak voice. His head throbbed with pain, as did the blood that continued to flow from his eye socket.

The security team quickly divided into two groups. The first was to help Tyrone, and the second was to clean up the mess in the barrier. They had to carry the bodies of both the bodyguards and those who were seriously injured.

"I've summoned Unit A to come here," Hugh, the first team's leader, spoke as he helped Tyrone onto the stretcher.

Tyrone exhaled deeply before responding. "That's great. The bodyguards appear to have misunderstood and assumed people could be handled by Unit B."

The security team members listened intently to those words, thinking it was natural for the bodyguards to misunderstand. There was only one person who attacked Tyrone. Furthermore, because he was in the Power Barrier, he could not use his power.

To fight Tyrone, he had to rely on his physical abilities. However, he could still survive without using his main power. When the security team discovered Tyrone wielded the death scythe, it sent shivers down their spines.

What kind of person could avoid that scythe?

He appeared to be a major threat in the future. However, the security team predicted the mysterious man would not mess around for some time. They believed their bullets had done tremendous damage to him.

At the same time, Zivile managed to fly away and was sure the security team had not followed her. She immediately took out a teleportation crystal Radmilo had given her while they were discussing plans to attack Tyrone.

"That was crazy. I thought he was going to die in there," Zivile muttered as she used the teleportation crystal.

She brought Radmilo to his apartment because they had agreed on that beforehand. Radmilo asked her not to return to the organization's headquarters if he received serious damages.

When Zivile arrived at the apartment, she placed Radmilo on the bed. She then checked the man's breathing and pulse, only to put herself in concern.

"Shit. Is he really going to die?"

Zivile thought of the worst as Radmilo's breath became short and his heartbeat slowed down. The man had also gone unconscious. Nevertheless, she calmed herself down to recall his words.

If something bad happened to Radmilo, the man advised her to contact Clem. It appeared to be the best option because Zivile was aware axolotl monsters like Clem possessed healing abilities.

Wasting no time, Zivile used the system to contact Clem right away. She got a reply within seconds because Clem was 'idle' in the dungeon.

Before Clem arrived at the apartment, Zivile first shed clothing Radmilo to see his wounds. She winced when she realized part of his body had turned black. That meant the bullets used by the security team were poisonous magic bullets.

On the other hand, Clem was a little surprised when he learned Radmilo was seriously injured. He had been informed before about the plans to attack the IRO. Still, he could not help but feel worried because Radmilo attacked Tyrone, aka the final boss at IRO.

Clem dashed from his dungeon to Radmilo's apartment. He was free to approach the man because they were bound by a contract. To fit the situation, he changed his body shape to the size of a normal axolotl in the human world.

"Finally, you came!" Zivile exclaimed when she saw an axolotl appear on the floor. She took Clem to see Radmilo's wounds up close. "Can you heal him?"

There were multiple gunshot wounds on Radmilo's body, which made Clem hesitate. He was certain the man would die soon without his help.

​ "I'm not sure. Maybe I can just save him from a critical condition," Clem responded after a brief pause.

Zivile was pleased with the response. It was perfect as long as Radmilo could get through his critical period. She then threw Clem over Radmilo's body. "You have to do it properly because we only have a minute!"

Clem was preparing to say something scathing when Zivile threw him down. He did not do so, however, after realizing he needed to concentrate on Radmilo. For the healing process, he had to extract his mucus and smear it.

The axolotl mucus had such a bad smell that Zivile had to cover her nose. She felt disgusted when she saw Clem crawling on Radmilo's body to smear his mucus. Nevertheless, she acknowledged the mucus was useful.

The wounds on Radmilo's body closed and dried up within minutes. The bullets lodged in his body also came out on their own. His breathing had gradually slowed down, no longer as short and harsh as it had been.

"He's safe now, right?" Zivile asked as Clem moved away from Radmilo's body.

The axolotl nodded immediately. "Yes, he has passed the critical stage. But he still needs further treatment. I'm just helping him to reduce the effect of the magic bullets."

"That's good."

"Ummm, what are we going to do now?"

Zivile remained silent for a while before deciding to get Radmilo new clothes. She and Clem would wait for the man to come to his senses.

The next day, Radmilo woke up because he heard the alarm on his cell phone. He wanted to turn off the alarm, but his body felt heavy. The security team appeared to have delivered the ultimate attack on him.

When Radmilo looked to the side to find the cell phone, his gaze was drawn to Zivile, who was still sleeping in his bed. He immediately kicked her until she fell to the floor.

"What are you doing?!" Zivile awoke while rubbing her back, which landed hard on the floor.

Radmilo got up from his bed, ready to say that Zivile was his slave and could not sleep in his bed. He refrained from saying it, knowing that it would only lead to an argument.

"That's a reflex. I thought you were an enemy and accidentally kicked you," Radmilo responded, as he walked over to his cell phone.

He was also aware of an axolotl on the table. But he chose to ignore Clem and turn off the alarm on his cell phone. After that, the first thing he did was check the news on the internet.

There was no news about the attack on Tyrone Rivera. To avoid panic, the IRO did not appear to make it public. That was perfectly normal. What would others think if they learned the IRO president had been attacked?

People would question Tyrone's credibility rather than his safety. Moreover, he had not completely solved the gate explosion cases in Australia and Germany.

They would have pushed to remove Tyrone from the presidency if the IRO had broadcasted news about him. Because the IRO worked for the general public, their opinion was very influential.

Radmilo was a little disappointed that there was no news about Tyrone. Nonetheless, he expected yesterday's incident to be revealed when the president attended the emergency meeting with an injured eye.

Tyrone was not the type of person who would fall and accidentally injure his eye, so people would know if the wound was caused by someone. When that happened, there would be pros and cons in society.
