Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 147 Talks In Blood Faction

"Do you think we will win the later bids, Leon?" A guy asked Leonard, who was looking up at some stuff on his ID Bracelet.

"Well, considering Reece gave them his money, we can at least take half," Leonard replied.

"Why are the fourth-year students interfering? They should just focus on their graduation," a guy spoke irritatedly.

Unlike third-year students, almost all the fourth-year students were busy completing their assignments and exams required for graduation.

Most were outside of World Academy and no longer interested in artifacts presented in World Academy's Auctions.

Unlike other first to third-year students, the final examination of the fourth-year students didn't allow the use of artifacts, so they didn't need to waste their GP's in the Auction.

"Well, she is his fiancée after all," Jack replied, and many guys frowned.

Raelyn was considered one of the most beautiful girls in the World Academy, so it was apparent many boys here also admired her secretly. Some were even from Elite families, but they couldn't even approach her because she was engaged to Reece Williams, the heir of the Williams family.

Reece was the Rank 2 student among the fourth-year students and among the most infamous names in the World Academy. He was pretty famous in the World Academy, but only a few students from influential backgrounds knew about his true personality.

The only reason no one was cursing him here was because of Leonard, who was known as being good friends with Reece Williams.

Although right now, Leonard was basically going against Raelyn, both he and Reece were still good friends. Leonard's Blood Faction was challenging the Student Council, which all happened after Reece returned to his family to recover from an injury.

This confused many others outside the Blood Faction, thinking Leonard and Reece were no longer friendly with each other. However, only top members of the Blood Faction knew that Leonard was still in contact with Reece.

"Don't worry, he hasn't given all his GP's to Raelyn," Leonard said with a smirk on his face.

"He knows the limit, so we will have a fair chance," Leonard assured them, but their faces were still doubtful.

"Considering the amount we spent in the last Auction, we are currently low too," a guy spoke, and he was the Rank 1 student in the Second Year.

"Come on, you are the richest here after Leon anyway," Jack said as they all started laughing.

"What about Asher Greville, though?" A guy raised a question.

"Well, he will not have enough funds anyway, so we can just ignore him," one of the members replied.

"I heard that Eric Herod from the Duel Committee is his underling," Jack said.

The news about Eric Herod being Asher's servant was already out, and they all knew about it. And all of them ignored him because a person like Eric wouldn't be able to stand against them himself.

Most of their peers were avoiding him because of Asher now, as harming him was the same as saying they didn't respect the Greville family. It was well-known that everyone who served Greville came from families that lived on their estate.

"You don't have to worry about him," a guy sitting beside Leonard replied.

"What makes you so sure?" Jack asked.

A smile crept on his face as he stared at Jack.

"Come on, you know we keep tabs on the flow of GP," he said with a smile.

Jack looked at that guy, remembered what kind of person he was, and chose to ignore it.

Leonard noticed Jack's expression.

"Don't worry, I will take care of him," Leonard said, and nobody objected.

Only a few people could stand against the Greville family without backing out, and Leonard Tarvian was one of them. Although he would never directly go against them, he had no need to step back either.

Seeing that Leonard was taking on the task himself, nobody stopped him. Although they all gathered here as allies, none trusted each other. If Leonard wanted to mess with and create trouble for the Greville family, they would just sit and watch.

Each of them came from an influential family, and stuff like this mattered more to them. Leonard knew about it and took this chance to show them that he could deal with Asher.

The meeting ended soon, as all of them went their way, and Leonard was left alone as he looked at some information.

"No response, huh?" He looked at the fact that there was still yet to be a response from the information agency he had hired to keep tabs on Asher when he left the World Academy.

"This is getting annoying," Leonard looked at the recent list of expulsions that happened.

Most professors were working with him to provide information about students, but now most were expelled. So only a few were left, and their positions were not high enough to give him reliable information.

"Let's see how long it will take me to find your weaknesses," Leonard smiled as he kept looking at all the information he had gathered.

From the day he saw Asher's duel against 20 students, he had deemed him too dangerous to be left alone, but unlike him, many others didn't share the same view as him.

In Ranker's Dorm,

"Why don't we go shopping?" Amelia asked Damian over a phone call.

"But you have your dress ready already, don't you?" Damian asked.

"I do, but exclusive dresses will be presented today, and maybe we could buy those," Amelia replied.

"But shouldn't we save GP for Artifacts?" Damian replied with an awkward look on his face.

"I will not spend that much; come on," Amelia pouted as she looked at Damian.

The artifact they got was suited towards Damian, so Amelia still needed one for herself. So Damian gave his majority of GP to Amelia for her to buy an artifact for herself and kept the one they found for himself.

"Are you sure?" Damian asked again.

"Yeah, meet me downstairs," Amelia said as she cut off the call.

"Sigh, I should have told her it's not a good idea," Damian muttered after the call was disconnected.

Damian had always said yes to whatever Amelia wanted, as he didn't want her to look sad all the time in the past, but now it had become a habit for him.

Damian picked up his jacket and went downstairs to the lobby, which was currently empty as most Rankers were training. He waited for a few minutes, but as he was waiting, he saw someone enter the lobby and turned to see Asher, who was coming inside the Ranker's dorm.

Seeing him, Damian decided to go talk with him.

"Did you go somewhere?" Damian asked.

"Yeah," Asher replied as he looked at Damian.

"I am waiting for Amelia; we were going shopping. Do you want to come?" Damian offered, but he knew that Asher would mostly reject it.

"Sorry for the wait!" Amelia said as she came out of the lift and saw Damian talking with Asher.

She walked near Damian, and from her eyes, Damian could see she wanted to ask why Asher was there.

"You are going shopping?" Asher asked, looking at Amelia.

"Yeah, but we are not spending too much there. I just wanted to look around and see some stuff," Amelia replied.

Asher looked at her with an indifferent look but didn't stop her.

"Do whatever you want," Asher said as he walked past them.

Amelia kept looking as she saw Asher enter the lift. She didn't think that Asher would easily allow her to spend GP like this just before the Auction.

"See, he is not that bad of a person," Damian said, but Amelia just turned her head.

"Let's go now," Amelia said.

On the 10th Floor,

Asher walked into his room and went into the training room.

He had just finished his preparation for the Auction, and he was ready for it.

Going inside, he was about to start training when he received a notification from Emmy.

<Young Master, these men were looking for trails and trying to follow you>

Asher looked at the dead bodies of several men and the information they were gathering about him just before they died.

"So you started moving, Leon," Asher muttered as intense bloodlust came out from his body, and his eyes turned cold.

He had predicted that Leonard would try something like this soon, so he was not too surprised that he had started already.

Asher closed his eyes as his bloodlust disappeared.
