Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 185: Calm Before the Storm P1

When morning came, Reign got up, having just finished reading digital books on his phone about mechanical engineering, and robotics.

Most of the information was very general, but it still helped him gain a better understanding of each subject.

He now had some ideas for developing new skills, but he would save them for later, as he had something else to focus on.

And that was researching ways to increase his mental defenses against psychic attacks, he was convinced that his encounter with the Meta Human involved a mental-type ability.

Unfortunately, the Internet offered no concrete answers, just as he expected.

He did, however, come across rumors about a technology that could block frequencies affecting the mind.

These rumors originated from the black market, and to verify them, he would need to visit a Tier 3 city.

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

Reign's attention was caught by the knocking sound.

He set his phone aside and walked over to the door, opening it to find Aiku standing there.

"Master?" she asked in confusion.

Reign now had his mask on, concealing his real features, so she was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

"Master," she greeted, bowing her head slightly. Her expression was a mix of fear and submission.

"Aiku," Reign acknowledged, stepping aside to let her in. "What news do you have for me?"

She entered, glancing around nervously before speaking.

It was already 12:00 noon when she got back, and she had been to multiple places to accomplish all the tasks Reign had instructed her to do.

"I have here the information you requested," she said, handing over a file. "It contains details about the city's current fighting power that I had access to."

Reign took the file, flipping through the pages quickly.

"Good work," he said, his tone neutral. "What about the concert?"

"It's scheduled for tomorrow night," she explained. "The tickets will be paid using my own money, and we've already started promoting it. With the advertisements, we expect a large turnout of people even from outside the Walls."

Reign nodded, pleased. "Excellent. This will be the perfect opportunity for my plans"

She looked slightly uneasy but nodded in agreement. "Is there anything else you need, Master?"

Reign thought for a moment. "Make sure everything goes smoothly at the concert. I don't want any unexpected disruptions."

"Understood," she replied, bowing her head again. "I'll make sure of it."

She stayed a bit longer before leaving , and Reign noticed that there were something in her mind,

"What's the problem ?" He asked .

She paused, unsure of what to do.

After a moment of contemplation, she realized it was something he could help her with.

"Master," she began hesitantly, "there's one issue I encountered while trying to do you request. The city council might interfere if they suspect anything unusual."

Reign raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly do you need from me?"

"The vice governor was raising some concern about me, and I need your help to ensure they don't become a problem," She admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "Your power.. Could persuade them to stay out of my way."

"So you want me to assassinate this Vice Governor?" Reign asked, his tone casual as if discussing the weather.

"Yes, Master. He's been a thorn in my side, always questioning my decisions. If he's not dealt with, he might interfere with the concert and your future plans."

Reign leaned back, contemplating.

He was aware that her choice of words was meant to make him also more concerned about her issue, subtly showing that she was smarter than he had given her credit for.

'All right, I'll humor you,' Reign thought to himself.

"If he's really a problem that needs to be taken care of, then it's better to eliminate him. I still have plans for you after the concert, and we can't have any loose ends," Reign responded.

Her face tightened, but she nodded. "I understand, Master. I leave it in your hands."

"Consider it done. Just make sure everything else is on track." Reign smirked.

"Yes, Master"

After she left, he began reading the files again , and making mental notes on the things that he found important.

He noticed many Hunters from Tier 3 cities had arrived, and there were even rumors of someone from Tier 2 being present.

However, due to the importance of these individuals, she couldn't confirm their presence.

'Sweet, more potential slaves,' he chuckled to himself, imagining adding more puppets to his ranks.

<3 Hours Later>

<Mansion Dining Room>

"And this gentleman is?" Alfredo asked, his eyes narrowing with suspicion as his mistress introduced a man of unknown origin.

The man stood tall, his white hair in stark contrast against his flawless fake skin. The bandage over his eyes added to his mysterious and dangerous aura, unsettling Alfredo.

"This is my new personal bodyguard, Rain " Aiku said calmly, her tone leaving no room for argument. Alfredo still looked skeptical but did not speak out of respect.

Reign gave a slight nod, acknowledging Alfredo without saying a word. He had decided to show himself here because it was too much of a hassle to secretly enter and exit the mansion.

Acting as her bodyguard was a more convenient cover.

"I understand " Alfredo, still wary, decided to keep an eye on him.

"The car is ready for you, Governor," Alfredo said, gesturing towards a sleek black sedan waiting outside.

She nodded and headed towards the car, Reign following closely behind.

They entered the vehicle, and the difference to cheap cars was immediately noticeable.

The interior was luxurious, with seats made of fine leather, exuding an air of elegance and comfort.

"You're quite rich ," Reign chuckled aloud, and this made her press the button which soundproof the passenger sit and hide them from the driver, now they could talk more privately.

The driver, taken aback by her Mistress actions, started imagining things.

He sighed to himself, his mind racing with speculation.

'Is he the governor's lover? Oh man, he hit the jackpot.' He had often fantasized about dating the governor himself, but her indifferent demeanor had always kept him at a distance.

In the end, he had given up, convinced their status gap was too wide.

Now he felt like he'd just lost the lottery, knowing that another man would have the opportunity to fuck her minds out. She was really beautiful and incredibly wealthy to boot.

No man would reject a complete package like her.

"Master, we will head to the Capitol, and the vice governor will be there too for the meeting regarding my sudden expenditure. How do you plan to take him out without making it suspicious?" she asked.

If she just needed a normal assassination, she wouldn't need Reign's help at all.

However, if the vice governor were to die after scrutinizing her actions, she would inevitably become the prime suspect.

"Just trust me, I'm more resourceful than you think," he answered nonchalantly, this mission might be hard for others but it was nothing to him .

He could kill that vice governor even if there was an entire army protecting him , and he was not even overestimating himself, but just stating facts .

"I'm sorry for doubting your power," she bowed her head.

"Just focus on your job, and I'll handle mine," Reign replied calmly.
