Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

376 You want to control me?

Despite so many questions, Dane and Kai remembered one thing that Asher had said before coming here.

"Despite what I say there, don't react,"

And with those words in mind, Dane and Kai were standing behind Asher without even reacting to the words that were being exchanged between Asher and Jarell Neville.

"Why do you think I am sitting here?" Asher spoke.

"Unlike those puppets that can't defy their master, you are different," Asher said.

At this point, Jarell was convinced that Zephyr knew about their plan.

He didn't know to what extent, but he was sure that this masked man knew.

But even right now, Jarell was not going to admit that he knew about it.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Jarell spoke.

"But for what purpose have you come here?" He asked.

Why was the most wanted person in the World sitting in front of him?

"Looks like you don't want to admit it," Asher spoke.

"I didn't know that the Neville Head liked playing games," Asher added.

His demeanor was different from his usual personality.

He was speaking so casually to a Seat Holder that Dane and Kai couldn't believe that the Masked Man sitting in front of them was a 16-year-old boy.

But their perception of reality was a bit messed up already because of how they were raised till now.

"I am giving you an offer. An offer that a person like you wouldn't like to miss," Asher said.

"Just like you joined that little plan of Osbert Tarvian, do the same for me," Asher's words made Jarell frown.

Nobody except a few people knew that Jarell was in contact with Osbert Tarvian.

"What if I say no?" Jarell said.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Asher tapped on the chair's arm a few times.

Although Jarell couldn't see, Asher's eyes were looking around as he was observing the office that Jarell was sitting in.

It was still the same as he remembered in his memories.

Fragments of memories started to resurface as he could remember the voices that he heard at that time.

"Please, I was not involved!"

"Yeah, Leonard Tarvian, it was all his plan!!"

"You can't do this!!"

"My father will kill you!!,"

A desperate voice, the look of fear.

Tapping his finger again, Asher silenced those voices in his head.

Suddenly, he raised his right hand as a serpent-like creature appeared out of nowhere.

Jarell's eyes looked at the serpent that had appeared, and he could feel the mana coming from this beast, but he couldn't sense its rank.

Rifir's mana conceal was so perfect that even an SS Rank Hunter couldn't sense him.

"Even if I do nothing, you will become a scapegoat in the future," Asher's words made the seed of doubts in Jarell's mind stronger.

It was all he was thinking of these days.

He wanted to deny the possibility, but the artifact affecting his mind didn't allow him to.

"A single push, and you will fall down, and so will the Neville Family," Asher spoke as Rifir traveled around his arm.

"You must have lost your mind if you think that destroying my family is that easy," Jarell replied.

Even though he was being cautious of the man sitting in front of him, that didn't mean he would believe anything Asher had said till now.

But Asher knew how to control a man like Jarell.

He was someone that would fear the strong and cripple the weak.

"What if Xarax Hargrave got a whiff about what you have been doing?" Asher said as Jarell's face changed.

During the whole conversation, he had maintained a calm look on his face, but now he couldn't.

"There are multiple things you have been doing for so many years," Asher said as Jarell frowned.

"What do you want?" Jarell asked.

"I will not ask you to betray Osbert Tarvian. Just help me a little," Asher offered.

"I will make sure your secrets remain safe while I do my things, and you help me in it," Asher said, but Jarell was still frowning.

"Hahaha," Suddenly, Jarell started laughing.

"You want to control me?" Jarell looked at Asher.

Dane and Kai didn't move, but they were thinking of the worst scenario.

Seeing Jarell's attitude, they were sure that the conversation didn't go the way they wanted.

"I haven't heard such a stupid joke in so many years," Jarell looking straight at Asher.

At this time, Jarell noticed that his Butler was waking up.

"I will give you one offer from my side," Jarell said.

"Go back, and don't even think about speaking of things you have spoken just now," Jarell said.

"Sigh," Asher sighed as he pulled out his sword.

He plunged into the heart of Butler, killing him in an instant.

Jarell's killing intent started to come out when the overwhelming killing intent from Asher took over the room.

"It seems you are mistaken, Neville Head," Asher spoke.

"I don't need you; you need me," he remarked, removing his sword and killing the Butler simultaneously.

"Choose your actions carefully. Do what I ask you to do," he said, looking at his sword that was glowing with golden runes.

Jarell Neville was too stunned to even move.

He felt like if he even moved his finger, he would die.

He had never felt this kind of blood lust from anyone in his entire life.

"Or be the reason the Neville Family is wiped from existence," the Asher said, directing his gaze at Jarell Neville.

Asher's sword started absorbing the aura from the Heart of Butler, strengthening itself.

Asher took out a token that had the symbol of Zephyr on it.

"Check the content in this drive," Asher said as he threw a small device at Jarell's desk.

"And after you are done, use this token to contact us," Asher said as he stood up.

Dane and Kai didn't even notice Asher had stood up because the killing intent from Asher had frozen them completely.

"We will meet again soon, and the next time, I will not be so generous, remember it," Asher said as he touched Dane and Kai's shoulder, and all three of them disappeared from their spot.

Jarell Nevill, who was sitting on his seat, looked at the drive that was on the table.

Suddenly, his SS Rank Aura started to leak out as cracks started appearing in the room.

His presence alerted the guards, that immediately arrived on the fourth floor.

"GO BACK!" Jarell said in a loud voice as he stopped the guards of his family from coming near his room.

He looked at the body of his butler.

Jarell stood up, raised his hand, and burned the corpse of his Butler immediately.

At the same time, Jarell sat down on his seat as he looked at the two things that were left behind by Zephyr.

He picked up the drive and looked at it for a second.

He wanted to crush it, but something inside him urged him to open it and see the content stored inside it.

Four Hours Later,

In the World Academy,

"What do you mean he is not here?" Elsa asked Venessa.

"We got a message that he is doing the Sequence Training," Venessa replied.

"What?" Elsa's face changed.

She was relying on Asher to win this match, but he was doing training.

"Show me the message," Elsa asked as Venessa touched her ID Bracelet.

Alyssa was sitting in her wheelchair, and she got a similar message as well.

Elsa read the message, and she saw the line where Asher mentioned he got some advice from his Grandfather.

'Was it some sort of training technique?' Elsa tried to guess.

Sequence Training was a special training that locked the students inside while making the environment much rougher to train in extreme conditions.

It was used to perfect mana meditation techniques and all sorts of techniques that involved mana.

"We can't do anything about it now," Elsa rubbed her head.

"Can you participate?" Elsa asked Alyssa.

"I am fine now," Alyssa replied.

She had just woken up yesterday, and Elsa didn't want to push Alyssa too much, knowing she was injured.

But in reality, Alyssa was fine because her body was completely healed.

"Try to do what you can for now," Elsa had no choice but to carry on with the current lineup.

'12 hours, maybe in the last one hour,' Elsa thought in her head.

"We will go with you two, and I will not remove his name," Elsa decided to gamble on whether Asher could make it or not.
