Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 134 Robbery At The Hotel?

At the teleportation gate in Soran, the guards stationed there saw two men approaching them.

"Sir, we need your identification," the guard asked, as traveling through the teleportation gate was strictly recorded.

"Take it," Corey pulled out his Guild Card.

Seeing the card, the guard's eyes widened as he realized the two men standing before him were from the Abyss Guild, one of the most powerful guilds in the world.

"You may go," the guard politely smiled as he let the two men pass.

"Let's go, Zach," Corey said to his partner.

Both of them were suppressing their mana so that people around them would not feel intimidated. It was not common for S Rank Hunters to stroll in the city like this. Most of them were busy either clearing dungeons or practicing and improving themselves.

In a matter of seconds, both Zach and Corey arrived in Maxzil City, where two men in black suits were waiting for them.

"Mr. Zach and Mr. Corey, right?" one of the men asked. He was only a B Rank hunter, but he felt threatened by the S Rank hunters in front of him.

"Yeah, tell us what's the matter. We're not as free as you might have assumed we were," Zach replied annoyedly.

The two men ignored his tone, as teaching him how to behave was not their job.

"You have to go to this hotel and meet Sir Garreth there. He will tell you about your mission," they replied.

"Yeah, yeah, we'll go," Zach said as he noticed some women eyeing him.

He was a tall man with a decently attractive face, as was Corey.

A smile appeared on Zach's face, but Corey just shook his head.

"Zach, we need to go to the hotel first," he reminded Zach.

"Oh, come on, we'll reach there in a minute if we use mana anyway," Zach replied as he walked over to talk to the group of three women.

"Sorry for him, we'll go there soon," Corey just smiled at the two men who were looking at them with straight faces.

If they could, they would have just told them that Asher, the Greville heir, called for them, and they would not have wasted so much time. But this trip was a secret even from Emmy, their team leader, so they didn't know if they should tell them.

Asher didn't take Emmy with him because he needed someone strong and capable enough to stay with Alyssa while she was outside the World Academy. Alyssa was safe in the World Academy because not many people could harm her directly, but things were different outside the academy.

At the same time, at the hotel Asher was staying,

Garreth was in the common lobby area waiting for the 2 S Rank Hunters he had called from the Guild.

"Where the hell are these bastards," Garreth was getting annoyed because they should have arrived by now.

"Even Miss Emmy is not here," Garreth was unsure about Asher's safety because he was among the few A- Rank Hunters present there.

Although they were very competent in their work, he was glad that Asher had called for S Rank Hunters. But they were taking too much time.

Garreth messaged the two men who were waiting outside the teleportation gate, and when he saw the reply, he was fuming with anger.

"Just wait. I will surely report this matter," Garreth was annoyed but could not leave the hotel.

However, he made a mental note to report them to the Leader of the Greyhounds, who was an SS Rank Hunter and was highly respected in the Abyss Guild.

Apart from the Greville family, he had the highest authority and was famous as the right-hand man for Nathaniel Greville.

Garreth was busy, so he didn't notice two men who looked like middle-aged men with glasses walking past him, who were looking at him.

"Kai, these guys are trained professionals," Dane said with a strange voice.

"Shush, don't use my name here," Kai replied while looking forward and acting like an average middle-aged man.

"Let's go there," Dane said as they went to the washroom that was present on the ground floor.

Arriving there, Kai used a soundproofing artifact that he had.

"What the hell is happening here," Kai's face changed to his original one, and the same thing happened to Dane.

"Maybe some big shot is present in the hotel," Dane replied.

"Dammit, why is our luck so bad these days," Kai said as he walked back and forth in the washroom.

"Come on, we can still pull this off. We just need to reach the highest floor, and with your bloodline, it will be quite easy," Dane persuaded Kai.

Kai, who was an A Rank Hunter, had a unique bloodline ability that only Dane knew about, despite their working together in Spyder, the organization they had previously been a part of. Nobody was aware of Kai's extraordinary bloodline ability, which allowed him to help people blend seamlessly into their surroundings, making them effectively invisible. In addition, he could also morph his own appearance and that of others.

It was a unique illusion-type bloodline ability, but it had its own restrictions that didn't allow him to freely use it.

For example, Kai could not change the appearance of people who were of higher rank than him, and the fact that he could remove his presence didn't help with devices that detected mana.

"We'll take the appearance of the staff and ride the lift while we remove our presence, and if somehow we get caught, we can tell them we are just staff. And if push comes to shove, we can just kill them and run." Dane explained the plan with confidence.

"Okay, what was the room again?" Kai asked as they needed to just steal the money.

"It was Room 05, on the highest floor," Dane replied.

Kai nodded as he channeled his mana and touched Dane's head. Both of their appearances changed into one of the staff members they had noticed while coming into the hotel. The process was slow because Kai needed to focus a lot on changing Dane as well. This was another shortcoming of his bloodline ability.

At the World Association Building in Vernes,

"Sir, we have lost contact with the team that was pursuing some criminals," a man said, looking at another man who was coming in a while rolling his sleeves.

"What rank were they?" the man asked as he squinted his eyes.

"They were B Rank Hunters; the suspects are assumed to be A Rank Hunters," the man replied with a respectful tone.

"Maxzil, was it? I will go there myself. You have their mana traces, right?" he asked.

"Yes, Sir, we have gotten these mana traces from an anonymous source, but they are real," he brought out a device.

"But it will only work one more time before the suspects notice the chips in their bodies," he explained.

"No need to worry about it; I have permission to use weapons, right?" he asked with a smile on his face.

"In case of battle, we have permission to use mana," the man replied.

"So, should I give this mission to your team?" he asked the man standing in front of him.

"Of course, we will handle it easily," the man said as he turned and took out his phone.

Maxzil was a peaceful city that didn't have that many Dungeons around it, so it was rare for so many high-ranking hunters to gather in this city.

In Room 01, on the highest floor,

Asher was meditating with his eyes closed. He was practicing his mana flow skill, which he could feel was slowly improving.

He opened his eyes, stood up, and walked to the balcony area. From there, he could see almost half the city.

He looked around to his sides, and after a while, he turned and walked out of his room. The security team was alerted by this.

"Young Master, do you need anything?" A guy asked.

"Where is Tom?" Asher asked.

"Sir Tom is sleeping in Room 05. Should I go wake him up?" he asked.

"No need," Asher said as he turned.

But before entering his room, he stopped and looked back.

"Did the S Rank Hunters arrive yet?" Asher's indifferent face made the guy quite nervous.

"N-Not yet, but Sir Garreth is waiting for them in the lobby," he answered, unsure how Asher would react.

"Tell Garreth to make sure they come quickly; send them directly to this room," Asher replied as he entered Room 01.

********

After a while spent flirting with others, Zach came back and saw Corey, who was frowning.

"What?" Zach smiled.

"Let's not delay any more; we need to complete this fast," Corey said.

Zach just shrugged him off. He was a prideful person, and for him, his own time was more important than others. He thought that they were called because they needed them for some task that required two S Rank hunters.

"Come on, you know who I am. We are not some normal people, Corey. We are S Rank hunters for the Guild, not like them," Zach said as he pointed at the two men who were still present there.

But seeing that the two men didn't react much to his words, Zach got a bit annoyed. For him, it was like they were looking down on him.

"Zach," Corey said with a serious tone because Zach was behaving quite rudely now.

"Okay, okay, let's go now," Zach replied, but he still didn't care if they got a bit late.
