Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Many people wearing nano armor could be seen patrolling the huge facility.

Inside the facility, two men were conversing.

"So, we will ship them four days later?" one man asked.

"Yes, and make sure there are no slip-ups during the transportation of all the items," replied another man wearing a suit.

"I don't want to upset the Whiteheart family over this," he said.

This facility was owned by the Whiteheart family and was used for personal purposes. This time, the Family Head of the Whiteheart family used his facility to store the artifacts meant to arrive at the Kalvas Gala.

Most of these artifacts were gathered through various teams and other sources in Desmar and other continents.

The reason for storing them in his personal facility was to ensure that if any situation arose, they could fix it quickly. In addition, the thought of someone breaching the vault was not on their minds, as it was deemed impossible to access.

Unless an SS Rank Hunter himself attacked the facility openly, there was no way to enter that vault. And if such an impossible situation did arise, the family head himself could handle it directly.

"Any updates on the S Rank Team?" he asked.

"They will arrive in a few days if everything goes as planned," the man replied.

"Okay, go now and ensure nobody is slacking off."

Their discussion ended as the men left the room.

The facility covered a vast area, most surrounded by walls adorned with security runes. There were only two entrances, one on the north and the other on the south.

A total of 20 B Rank Hunters guarded the facility's close proximity, with 10 B Rank Hunters maintaining security at the North and South Entrances.

Most security was focused inside the facility, where various A Rank Hunters were stationed.

At the North Entrance,

Three B Rank Hunters were watching the North Entrance but quite relaxed. It was close to midnight, but the whole facility was well-lit. Although the facility was far from the city, they had a perfect connection and energy source.

"This is boring," one of the guards spoke out.

"Why do we need to be here when there are so many security runes anyway?" He was jealous of the people working inside the facility.

Unlike them, they were in a comfortable environment and enjoyed themselves occasionally.

"Don't vent your frustration with me," another man replied.

"I am tired, but I don't want to piss off the team leader." They were told to maintain high security for a whole month, but nothing happened.

But none of them actually wanted to leave this job. Unlike going to the dungeon, where losing lives was not so rare, guarding a facility was better for them. Many people liked going to dungeons, but some would rather do something that didn't involve the risk of dying.

The three of them were busy chatting, so they didn't notice three pairs of eyes looking towards them from a hill a bit far from there.

"The security is not that tight in that place," Kai removed the special glasses that allowed him to observe things quite far away.

"Breaching from that entrance will not be an issue," Kai turned towards Asher, who was still observing the facility.

Asher removed his glasses, put on a black mask, and saw Kai and Dane do the same.

Although Kai and Dane were unsure about Asher's participation in this mission, when they heard Asher's plan, they thought this heist might be possible if everything went as planned.

"We will enter from that entrance; both of you will take out those three," Asher said.

"Make sure not to kill anyone until we enter the facility and secure the First Level," he reminded both of them.

Each guard patrolling outside the facility had a special wristband that reported their life signs to the security room inside the First Level in the real facility, which was under the facility they were seeing right now.

If even one of them was killed, the whole security around the facility would be alerted about their presence.

"Tom, you are connected to the Security System, right?" Asher spoke.

<Yes, Boss, but Dane would need to secure the security room in the First Level if I want to interfere in the system>

All three of them could hear Tom's voice in their ears through the device they were wearing.

"Use your ability," Asher ordered Kai, who nodded back at him.

Kai flared his mana as he concentrated hard to conceal all three of their presences. Normally it was quite hard for him, but Asher had already given Kai suitable mana-related artifacts that allowed him to shorten his cast time.

In under 7 minutes, Kai was done and took a deep breath. All three of them were invisible, but they could still see each other, which was why Kai's ability was much better than a normal illusionist-type mage.

Asher saw a truck going towards the facility, and it was a cargo truck needed to restock the supplies inside the facility.

"Let's move," Asher said.

All three of them dashed towards the truck but didn't enter it yet.

Asher took a mana crystal, tossed it inside the cargo truck, and they started following the truck without being noticed by anyone.

The cargo truck soon reached the entrance, and one of the B Rank Hunters walked near it, tapping on his bracelet.

"Information matched. You can enter now," he said after checking the face of the driver with the information he had on his wrist device.

The driver drove the truck inside but stopped when he heard something.

BEEP

"Stop!" The B Rank Hunter immediately spoke, and the other two also walked towards the driver.

"Are you carrying any mana-related items?" he asked.

"No, there were no such items on the list," the driver replied instantly.

"We will need to search this," the man said as they searched the whole cargo truck.

After 5 minutes, the B Rank Hunter found a mana crystal inside the truck.

"How did this get here?" He grabbed it and tossed it to the other guard.

"Did they mess things up at the Guild?" the other guard said.

"Well, we can have this for ourselves," he smiled, looking towards the driver.

"Ah, I didn't see anything," the driver immediately understood the meaning behind his smile.

'Greedy bastards,' he thought in his mind as he drove the truck inside.

"How much money do you think we can get from this?" They started laughing.

None of them could notice that three individuals had already breached the entrance when the mana crystal was detected. Due to Kai's special ability, none could see or sense their presence.

Unlike Asher, who had a skill like Mana Flow and incredibly high senses, they didn't possess any such abilities. And below S Rank, it was impossible to detect Kai's ability unless they had skills like Asher.

"That was easy," Dane whispered as he looked at Kai and Asher, who were standing near a wall of one of the warehouses.

<I will tell you where to move, so follow my lead>

Tom could access the drone footage by breaching the security system, but he still didn't have enough access to control them.

<Go South, and you will reach another warehouse with two guards present there>

Dane and Kai both moved swiftly as they heard Tom's instruction.

It took them 10 seconds to arrive at the warehouse when Kai spotted two guys guarding it.

'I hope this works,' Kai took out a small flask of green liquid that Asher had given them, and Dane did the same.

It was a special poison that paralyzed even A Rank hunters if it was injected into their bodies, and only Asher knew the recipe to make it. He had made it for himself when he reached S Rank, and it got hard for him to control himself.

He used this poison to calm his body, which was supersensitive to mana. It was his only way to counter the side effects that came with the mana doping methods he used to grow stronger.

Kai and Dane immediately appeared behind their backs. They took out syringes and injected them into the guards' bodies as they grabbed their necks with one of their arms. It was to make sure they couldn't scream.

"Mhmmm." The muffled screams of the guards were not noticed, as even the drones were not watching that area.

Thud

The effect of the poison was immediate, and in 4 seconds, their bodies fell to the ground. Their consciousnesses remained intact, but they simply couldn't move their bodies. Even moving their eyes was impossible.

<Remove their bodies quickly>

Tom instructed them as the drone was about to return to that spot.

Both of these guards were about to start their patrol over to the next warehouse, and the people inside the facility would not notice anything weird for another 10 minutes.

And this meant that the three of them only had 10 minutes to securely enter the Security Room.
