Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 395 Zephyr’s Traces



Chapter 395 Zephyr's Traces

?"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU MEAN EVERYONE WENT MISSING?!" The man exclaimed as he destroyed his table with his hand.

"We-We can't carry on with the search. There are rumors of a powerful monster sighting in the Forest of Lemar," the guy before him replied.

But the answer didn't please the man; his anger was fully visible on his face.

His subordinate didn't have any words to explain the situation.

So many A Rankers going missing didn't make sense to him.

"Do we need the S Rank?" the man muttered, a frown forming on his face.

"DAMMIT," he kicked the broken part of the table.

His strength was enough to leave a mark on the wall.

His annoyance was understandable as not only did they lose contact with their powerful members, but the items that were being smuggled were missing as well.

And they were still not sure whether those people fell to a monster or if someone else was intentionally targeting them.

It was usual for illegal organizations to turn against each other, but this time, the people who were carrying the items weren't from some illegal organizations.

"Contact the Black Squad, tell them that their men have gone missing, and we lost our people as well," the man sighed as he decided to go with the obvious choice.

Whatever was within the Forest of Lemar was clearly stronger than what they could handle.

Reporting it to the World Association or the Royal Guild wasn't a good choice, knowing the background of the people who went missing.

Two more days went by as the announcement of the new Student Council President was done.

Some of the Third Years were not happy that a Second Year like Elena and Amelia were given the position, but given their status, nobody raised a voice.

Rather, people praised Elena in order to get good grades with both her and Kevin, who is now a Successor Candidate.

"What are you doing here?" Sam, who came outside to the Outer Sector, saw Damian sitting in a sweet cafe while munching on some snacks.

"Oh, it's you," Damian looked at Sam and continued eating.

Sam forced a smile, but Damian's attitude did make him a bit angry.

'This guy might have a talent for irritating others,' Sam thought in his head as he sat at the same table.

He was not really friendly with Damian, but he found him pretty normal, unlike others from famous families.

"I thought you would be doing your sparring session," Sam spoke as he touched the device on the table and started ordering on the hologram that displayed the menu.

"That was the plan, but Amelia is busy reading books," Damian said with a bored look on his face.

'Is this guy feeling lonely?' Sam thought as he looked at Damian's expression.

Both Asher and Amelia were busy, so Damian was truly bored, so he came out to spend some time outside.

"Even Lucas and Livia are having their class, sigh," Damian muttered, making Sam even more uncomfortable.

Sam was used to an environment where people his age would try to take advantage of him or rile him up.

But he wasn't used to comforting others.

The only person he had as his friend was Matthew, who rarely spent time outside, and all he did all day was train.

"Maybe, go to the Great Library; you might find something interes-" Sam was speaking, but Damian put the spoon down and started staring at him.

"Do I look like someone who would spend time in that place?" Damian asked.

"Ah, I don't know," Sam replied.

"I don't want to study. I want to fight. If only Ash was here, I could have some fun as well," Damian said as he started looking at the sky.

They were sitting outside, but there were no other students to notice their interaction.

This part of the outer sector was rarely visited by students during this time. That was why Sam came here in the first place.

Soon, the waiter arrived outside with the dessert that Sam had ordered, and he was surprised to see Damian staring at the sky.

"Ah, ignore him," Sam said as the waiter nodded and carefully placed Sam's order on the table.

Both of them kept doing their own thing, and after a while, Sam left Damian on his own.

Sam's outing wasn't simply because he was bored.

He was waiting for somebody, and that somebody arrived soon enough.

"Did I make you wait a long time?" Eric asked.

"Not really. I went to eat something," Sam replied.

Eric Herod was the one who called Sam in the outer sector to give him something.

"This is what Young Master told me to give you," Eric said as he took out a ring.

"In it are a few things that Young Master told me to give to you," Eric said.

"You will also receive the instructions from Young Master on how to use them," Eric added.

Sam took the ring and immediately placed it inside his pockets.

He didn't check what was present, as Asher had told him that Eric was not part of Zephyr.

Sam already knew from the words that Eric used that he was fully unaware of his Young Master being the most wanted criminal in the world.

"I didn't check anything inside as this ring has an encryption rune, and Young Master told me that you already have it," Eric asked.

Sam nodded as Eric smiled.

"Okay, I will go now. Don't tell anyone about our meeting," Eric said as he turned to leave.

"So, this is my first task?" Sam thought as he took a deep breath.

He was aware that he would not receive Asher's help for free, and he was ready to complete whatever Asher wanted from him if he could gain Asher's help.

"I guess he would only give the instructions before entering the Trials Ground," Sam guessed.

He was fully unaware of the fact that Asher wasn't inside World Academy at all and was actually targeting his family in Halcyon.

"Boss, wouldn't they send someone stronger next time?" Dane asked.

Asher, who was in the middle of practicing his swordsmanship, stopped.

"They will," Asher replied.

"I don't want to sound weak, but if they send many S Rank Hunters, it might get a bit difficult defeating them," Dane said.

"Shouldn't we leave now? I mean, we don't have to risk it," Kai also suggested.

Asher's plan was to kill the next search team as well as they have done till now, but both of them were right about the danger.

Just Louis Rothschild was enough to make them run for their life, and if multiple S Rank Hunters came, it would become quite dangerous.

"They will not send multiple S Rank Hunters," Asher said.

But Dane and Kai didn't know why Asher was so confident about it.
