Should I Become a Villain?

Chapter 16 Radmilo's Family Background

A few hours ago, Keith read the information about the people who raided the dungeon on Broken Hill. When the hunters of a guild wanted to raid, they had to make a schedule in advance at the Guild Union.

It turned out that the hunters who were killed were from an officious guild called Spiny Anteater. One of the hunters who died was Gordan. This was quite surprising to Keith because the Spiny Anteater often boasted about Gordan as a promising hunter.

"Any information from the forensic team and Spiny Anteater?" Keith asked after he finished reading the information.

Dianella, who was standing beside her brother, immediately replied, "Spiny Anteater appreciates you for being willing to help them. They are now taking care of the families of the victims. For today, they are leaving the investigation to you."

"Then what about the forensic team?"

"They are asking for more time because the bodies of the victims are very difficult to identify. Results regarding when and why they died will be given a few days from now."

The answer made Keith take a deep breath. He wanted to quickly solve the murder case in the dungeon before the information leaked out to the public. The families of the victims must have known the information from the Spiny Anteater and would share it with others.

When that happened, the people around Broken Hill would feel worried. Keith had always avoided that problem because Broken Hill and its surroundings were the responsibility of the Tasmanian Devil guild.

The Guild Union had appointed Broken Hill as the responsibility of the Tasmanian Devil guild. If trouble occurred consecutively for one month, then the Guild Union would doubt the guild's proficiency. And the worst thing was that the Guild Union transferred the responsibility of Broken Hill to another guild.

"I found something suspicious," said Dianella, stopping her brother, who was deep in thought.

Keith then turned to Dianella and showed a curious face. "What did you find?"

"This guy." Dianella pointed at the computer monitor that displayed the data of people who entered the dungeon. "I saw him this afternoon at the Guild Union."

"Huh? What is he doing in the Guild Union? I think he's also one of the victims."

"You're wrong. Today I saw him take the test to register as a dungeon cleaner."

At first, Keith paid little attention to the man named 'Radmilo Laiv' in the information. He only paid attention after hearing Dianella's words. Now he remembered having seen the man, but he did not know where they met.

Keith's memory would be blurred if he used <Perfect Compliance> which allowed him to have full control over anyone's mind. He used this power when fighting the monsters on Broken Hill. His power could control the monster's mind not to attack.

The effect of the power made Keith could not remember properly for a day. He also lost some of his magical energy. However, he was sure he had seen Radmilo somewhere. He just could not remember when and where he had met the man.

"The forensic team hasn't reported the details yet, but they have confirmed that five people were killed. That means one person is still alive because the raid team is six people," Dianella explained again.

"Then the guy named Radmilo is still alive." Keith closed his eyes, trying to mend his hazy memory. "I remember seeing him. If only my powers had no effect."

"You must have seen him in our guild."

"Why is he in our guild?"

"That's because he registered as a dungeon cleaner in our guild, specifically for Team B."

Keith's face became even gloomier when Dianella mentioned Team B. It was an open secret in the Tasmanian Devil guild that Team A and Team B had conflicts for a long time. Keith did not like Jim, who was always against him.

"But if Radmilo was the culprit, then why is he so calm?" Keith asked after regaining his composure. "He should hide for causing trouble with the hunters from the Spiny Anteater guild."

Dianella shrugged. "I do not know. Maybe the man is a psychopath," she guessed.

"Okay, listen to me. The information explains that Radmilo and his parents live in San Marino. Then the unexpected fact is that he has an older sister."

"Why are you telling me that? I don't think his older sister has anything to do with this case."

Keith raised his hand as a sign for Dianella to stop talking. Then he typed someone's name on the search page and showed it to Dianella. "Radmilo's older sister is Ginevra Laiv, a serial killer."

"That's quite surprising. Is there something wrong with their family? I read the article explaining that the environment where Radmilo and Ginevra lived was very good. It means that something went wrong with their family so Ginevra became a killer," told Dianella after reading the article on the internet.

"There are many factors that make someone a killer. However, you're right. Another article mentions their father abused their mother often. Ginevra even drowned Radmilo in a lake, although he survived in the end. I think she was badly influenced by her father."

"Are their parents divorced?"

"No, they're not. Their mother chose to keep the toxic relationship alive. It seems she never thought that Ginevra would become a killer in the future. I got full information about Radmilo, and it turned out that his sister was executed one year ago."

Dianella was lost for words to respond to Keith. When she went to the Guild Union test, she thought she would meet no one interesting there. Her mind soon changed after she found out that Radmilo was involved in a dungeon murder case.

"That guy doesn't look dangerous," Dianella spoke after a moment of silence. "He behaves like everyone else. I'm also sure he doesn't have a terrible track record because our government is willing to accept him."

"Well, I know that. Radmilo differs from his sister. He has always worked as an assistant to the hunters. He should have joined the raid today with Gordan's team. But he didn't die, even though all the raid teams were killed. Isn't that suspicious?"

"What are you waiting for? Let's meet him!"

It was an invitation that Keith would naturally refuse. However, he could not immediately refuse after hearing Dianella's next words.

"Radmilo lives around Broken Hill. That means his place isn't safe because of the gate explosion. He must be at the evacuation site by now. We can go over there to see him while pretending to check on the victims."

It took ten minutes for Keith to decide. He could not just meet Radmilo for no good reason. However, he could meet the man while pretending to check the situation at the evacuation site.

"Alright, let's see him," Keith finally decided, and made Dianella smile enthusiastically.
