Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

18 Williams who?



Seeing the people start chattering so much, Harris wanted to intervene, but suddenly,

“Can I get the name of the person who is sitting in VIP Room 6?” A voice came from VIP Room 1.

“Hahaha, of course, I am Marcus Williams,” Marcus arrogantly replied.

For the next five seconds, no reply came from VIP Room 1, and Marcus thought they were intimidated by his background.

“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t abuse my name. Just keep the auction going and keep it fair, so…” Marcus, who was trying to impress the girls, was suddenly cut off by the new hologram that appeared behind Harris.

A devilishly handsome young man could be seen sitting on a couch. He had black hair and red eyes that seemed to threaten to devour every existence sitting there. His cold eyes and indifferent face sent a chill through the whole audience. Even Harris was intimidated by him.

“You said you were from Williams, right?” Asher said while keeping his indifferent face.

“Abuse your name? Why the bloody hell would I get intimidated by a kid who is just a branch family son?”

“It’s Asher Greville, the heir of the esteemed Greville Family,” one of the men sitting spoke.

Those who didn’t recognize the young man were scared beyond belief just by hearing the name Greville. The Greville family was known throughout the world for obliterating anyone who stood in their path. Their influence was growing so strong that some other elite families chose to form an alliance so they could keep up with them.

Seeing the young man, Marcus realized who he was. Every rich kid knew about Asher Greville; their parents always made sure their children never offended anyone who shouldn’t be offended. And if you made a list of such people, Asher was probably at the top. Everyone knew about him and his title, “The cold devil,” which was not just for show.

Asher, from the age of 10, had suggested many ideas for his mother to implement in her new business. His high intelligence helped him contend with adults who had years of experience behind their names. Even though he was known for avoiding awakenings, his acumen for business was terrifying.

Marcus’s face was pale white right now. Even if he were killed by Asher Greville right here, nobody would stand up for him. He was just a branch family of Williams.

“I-I -I didn’t know it was you. Forgive my-my mistake,” he scaredly voiced his apology.

Even his friend was scared shitless, almost thinking of escaping the room right then and there. But the girls were enchanted by Asher’s charm and had a red blush around their cheeks. Compared to Marcus, he was like a god who had descended to the mortal realm. But the cold gaze of his red eyes frightened them.

“Oh, we are sorry, Young Master Greville. We didn’t know it was you in that room,” one of the men who was speaking against Asher a few seconds ago was now trying to save his life. Even if Asher decided to spare Marcus, he could use his connections to kill all the people here. And nobody wanted his retaliation, so they also decided to apologize rather than test their luck.

“We apologize, Young Master Greville,” a lot of people said together.

Emmy scoffed at the spineless cowards who were raising their voices like angry beasts moments ago and now were behaving like lambs.

‘Serves all of you right for underestimating our cute Young Master,’ Emmy thought with a proud look on her face.

Cute? This young man was far from looking cute at this moment. Even his gaze was enough to send chills to the people who were sitting there.

“Enough,” Asher spoke with his commanding voice. Marcus and other people gulped and waited for his next words.

“Mr. Harris, I would like to leave now and I will buy the two villas for 150 million each. I don’t like free things,” Asher said while standing up and leaving with Emmy.

Harris could only smile bitterly as he thought that gifting those villas would be his ticket to get in the good books of Asher Greville. Asher spent 1 billion AUR at this auction, and the profit that Harris got was not small at all. Except for the villas, all the land he bought was way above their worth in his eyes.

Yes, those small villas were actually 100 million AUR each. Why? Because they were located near the World Academy, the centralmost part of Soran.

Asher only bought those villas because a past memory resurfaced in his mind when he saw those villas. Asher got out of the Auction House before telling the female assistant who was catering to them in their VIP Room to tell Harris to send the bills to his secretary, Emmy, not his family.

He was going to register these lands under his new company, ‘Aztech.’

And for the villas,

‘Seems like they suit your taste, so I bought them,’ Asher’s face had a smile, but nobody could see it as the only person with him at the moment was Emmy and his driver, who were seated in the front seats of his car.

He looked at his 230 fate points and thought,

‘So now I am better than a dying man at least.’ Asher thought while looking at his status.

Meanwhile, Marcus, who was sighing in relief after exiting the Auction House, was now depressed. The two girls who came with him decided to leave separately from the two boys, saying they needed to go somewhere. Marcus knew he had fumbled his chance and his image was thoroughly crushed, but he calmed down thinking at least he was alive and well.

Asher was thinking of killing Marcus if he annoyed him one more time. But luckily for him, Asher’s mood was a bit better when he saw those two villas. Especially when he saw a particular ‘decoration’ of those villas.

In his past life, when he killed people, Asher felt no guilt or remorse. It was like his soul was devoid of emotions whatsoever. He never felt happy or sad; anything that annoyed him deserved death in his mind. Fortunately, his high intelligence allowed him to act in a certain way, so he seemed like a cold yet normal child to his parents and his known ones.

‘It’s time to increase my level a bit,’ Asher saw his lvl 1 status and decided he should increase his level.

‘Emmy, take the car to one of the F-rank dungeons under the Abyss Guild,’ he told Emmy.

‘But Young Master, you have just recently awakened as a hunter. You should train for some time before fighting the monsters,’ Emmy usually never questioned his orders, but when she heard this, she knew Asher should not fight the monsters so early.

“Don’t worry, I will take you inside with me. I just want the experience. Do as I say,” Asher said in a commanding tone.

Emmy was an A-rank Hunter and she could save Asher anytime in the F-Rank Dungeon. She hesitated for some seconds but still nodded after listening to his reasons. She still sent a message to Arthur, just in case any issues arise.

The driver turned the car to go to one of the latest F-Rank dungeons, which had recently been acquired by the Abyss Guild.

In the whole world, 60% of the dungeons were owned by the World Association. The World Association had 3 SSS-Rank hunters. They had the most hunters in the world and could be called government officials who were there to make sure nobody could take advantage in this society where the strong eat the weak. They were responsible for maintaining public order and implementing laws to keep the other elite families in check.

But despite having 3 of the 11 SSS-Rank hunters, they could not enforce their words on the elite families carelessly. 4 of the SSS-Rank hunters were from different elite families. All the SSS-Rank hunters were like the pillars of this world and they maintained an equal power distribution among the authorities.

This was another reason for Asher to save Nathan. His death allowed the World Association more freedom and they introduced some new laws to lessen the grip the elite families had on the economy of the world.

Asher’s car arrived in front of a well guarded place filled with people carrying weapons. They were the hunters of Abyss Guild and were guarding the entrance of the dungeon. Dungeons were closely guarded and monoplized for the resources that were found in them. One of the hunters who was holding a document came up to greet them.
