Villain of my own novel

Chapter 176 175. Let’s Just Simply Groan!

?"Eshwar!?" Vinny yelled in shock as soon as he entered the room.

'Don't yell, you son of a bit*h.' I was grinning widely as the situation I created began to unfold.

I shot out a fist-sized mana bullet as soon as I heard Vinny bang on the door and made it change its direction to hit me. I didn't hesitate to take a strong blow since I would heal in an instant and 'pain' wasn't anything new to me.

Even though my eyes had adjusted to the darkness, it wasn't close enough to get a perfect view of Vinny's pained face, so I created a blob of light trapped in crystal shaped ice because it was enough to illuminate the entire room.

"Hm?" He flinched at the blinding light and closed his before slowly opening them.

"Guh." I groaned because I didn't know what else to do in this situation and because I have a cheat just for situations like this.

'Control.' I muttered in my mind and a glitched system window popped up.

[Private Skill: Control has been activated.]

ZZZT-ZZT

'Minimize to 'thoughts,' target Vinny.' I commanded, since it was 'my' system it would obey my wishes.

====

|Thoughts: What!? Eshwar wasn't strong enough to deal with White Swan?|

====

'Tsk, I can't help it if he thought that first. Won't everybody want to look at what they tripped over first? Why is this f**ker looking around and analysing the situation when his friends have died? Why is he acting like he arrived at a crime scene to investigate things rather than grieving for the deaths of his friends?' I complained inwardly.

THUD

'Pffttttt!! Hahahaha!! Lololol!! Hahahaha!! What the hell was that? Hahaha! He just fell face first, even though he was supporting himself to not fall in the beginning! Hahahaha!' I laughed, inwardly.

====

|Thoughts: Huh? Cole?|

====

'Yes.' My lips twitched, threatening to curl up into a smile.

'Wait!! I should act right now!!! But what should I do?' I suddenly realized.

'Since I don't know anything about 'acting' like I'm in pain, let's just simply groan!'

"Ack."

"Ah...." Vinny made a weird sound.

'Eh? Wtf was that? Pfft!!'

'Hmmm, he's not thinking about anything. Tsk, I just need to have fun looking at his expressions, though they are the things that actually make it more enjoyable than his useless thoughts.' I grinned and closed the 'control panel,' which is what I started to call the glitched system window that pops up whenever the 'Control' skill is activated.

"Piers?" Vinny mumbled and crawled towards Piers while tears streamed down on his cheeks.

'Ahem, heaven's messenger here, you can speak with the dead through me.' I narrated.

'Hm, the dead soul of Piers rejects the call of someone insignificant who only bluffed all the time and called them friends who were more like disposables.' I voiced over the voice of the pitiful soul, which returned to heaven simply because it had an unfortunate encounter with Vinny Grover!

'Since the soul returned to eternal rest because of Vinny Grover, let's give him a big round of applause! Yay, yay, yay!'

"Michael?" Vinny crawled over again.

''No! Don't defile me now; at least leave me alone after I'm dead!' Michael pleaded from heaven, and since heaven and Earth's connection has been long lost, his words fell on deaf ears.' I narrated while staring at Vinny hold Michael's face as if he were going in for a kiss.

'Huh? Oh! Ahem, ahem! I thought some kind of 'BL' was going to happen. Though I didn't do that kind of setting for Vinny in my novel, since everything is almost messed up, I thought he would turn like that. Then, moving on. ' I thought, and three chibis that had many similarities to myself materialised next to Vinny in my mind: one had his right hand on his ear and mic in the other, another stood in front of him with a camera over his shoulder, and the last one sat in a room reading the content displayed on a small screen; it was a basic news reporter's setup.

'Reporter Eshwar here, and as you can see here, detective Vinny Grover is vigorously trying to find clues that could give him a lead in his investigation. Though there haven't been any fruits to his labours yet, public is hoping that he will open his f**king eyes a bit more widely and find the smartwatch, which is laying just a step away from Michael's lifeless body. Over to you, Sir Eshwar. M moustache.'

'Ah, we'll be back after a short break.' Moustached chibi in the office room said and disappeared, why? Because I have to groan to keep up my act.

"Urgh." I groaned and Vinny found the smartwatch right after before turning on the recorded audio file in the it.

[Hahahaha! You think I, 'White Swan' .....] The recording played.

"Argh." I groaned again after the recording was done playing, though it wasn't done completely yet. I unknowingly grinned when I noticed Vinny's body emitting a green-coloured aura, which meant that he either caught on the client's part or that he is stupid enough to be angry at someone who defeated Eshwar seemingly without any effort while Eshwar, in turn, had previously defeated him with a small amount of struggle.

Why would Vinny focus on the client when White Swan was the one who killed his so-called friends? Simple, really, because they could be weaker since they didn't defeat his 'disposables' on their own but are strong enough to 'hire' White Swan, which isn't possible for that many people.

When the opponent does it, it's a simple mind game, but when your own mind thinks like that, it's a simple math, because a human's mind always chooses the survival of its own body. Vinny isn't strong enough to fight against White Swan yet and is stressed, and the kind of stress that he is experiencing is harmful to his body. To release that stress, another target should be found, and the clue to this 'another target' is White Swan's 'client.' These are the types of thoughts where one's will needs to be strong enough to redirect such thoughts, and the current Vinny isn't strong enough.

'This thing called 'mind' is simply a work of art. It analyses a ton of information in a flash and gives out a solution, which is named a 'thought.'' I suddenly remembered something I had believed in for a long time.

'You can investigate and snoop around for information regarding this incident, but you will move the way I want you to.' I grinned widely since another pawn was set in motion.

Vinny abruptly turned to face me, and I stopped grinning and put on a pained expression in an instant, since it wasn't long enough for his mind to register my expression, his mind would get confused because the amount of information it could register in that short amount of time was too insignificant, and 'I must have seen wrong' would be the mind's final conclusion, and I grinned inwardly when I saw Vinny shake his head, seemingly denying something.

"Vi..uck! Vinny, you alright?" I asked 'worriedly.'

"Huh? Yea, yeah, I'm alright. Are you alright? Did they call you here?" Vinny asked after he wiped off his tears and walked towards me with a pained look on his face.

".....Yea, I got a call from Cole asking for help, but by the time I arrived White Swan was already here. I attacked him as soon as I saw him, but he simply....." I girted my teeth and clenched my fists in 'anger.'

"....he simply blew me away, I couldn't even see what he did...." I explained and 'subconsciously' released my killing intent.

".... maybe because I intervened, he simply killed them and left." I said while looking at the lifeless bodies with a 'saddened' expression.

'Don't worry, I'll send you to meet them sooner than you think.' I continued inwardly, but then....

"Arghhhh!!!"
