Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 189 Final Confrontation - II





Inside the Metal Cage a few seconds ago,

"Hah, this is annoying," Louis's impatience was growing.

He had hit the metal cage countless times, but he was still trapped.

He could have gotten out of the metal cage long ago, but to do so, he needed to use one of his strongest attacks. However, doing so would greatly harm the facility he was sent to protect.

He thought about it for a second but arrived at his answer soon enough.

'This damn Jamming Ray,' Louis cursed.

Although he was the one who had his team fire it, he now regretted his decision. He didn't think that the Intruders would be able to trap him, so he hadn't thought much when he used it.

But now, the jamming device's effect was also hindering him. Even though the jamming device was turned off, the jamming ray still lingered in the area, rendering all sorts of artifacts within its range useless.

If he could use one of the artifacts he had, getting out of this cage would be easier.

Communication with the outside was impossible in the Underground Facility.

"James can handle it," Louis had enough as he closed his eyes.

Although he feared his brother, he would rather damage the facility a bit than let the intruders escape.

The mana around Louis's body started rising as he began floating in the air.

The aura around his body got brighter and became concentrated around his fist. The technique Louis was using was part of the combat art of the Rothschild Family.

'Did he give up?' Tom thought.

<Cage Integrity: 37%>

The number was not going down anymore, and seeing this, Tom was a bit relieved.

'We can do this,' Tom assured himself.

Asher had taken over the Management Room, and Tom was about to take over the security system soon. Tom started working, but suddenly he got another alert, and his eyes widened.

<Cage Destroyed!!! Security Breached>

A few seconds ago, Louis Rothschild, floating in the air, opened his eyes as he gathered a large amount of mana around the fist.

He raised his fist as he looked at the barrier that was present all over the metal cage.

*BOOM*

His fist connected in an instant.

Mana sparks appeared as the barrier tried to resist, but the barrier was destroyed instantly, and his fist made a massive hole in the metal cage.

He immediately stepped outside the metal cage.

The moment the barrier was broken, the room where the mana crystals were supplying the mana was overloaded, and the crystals broke. Because they were almost fully depleted, a huge wave of mana was sent throughout the Fourth and Third Level instead of an explosion.

Louis turned as he disappeared from his position, leaving a dent in the metal floor. He knew the only escape point was the Fourth Level entrance, and they needed to cross it.

And he was right. Asher and Kai needed to escape through that entrance once Tom opened it.

Louis already knew the route to the Fourth Level, so it didn't take him more than 7 seconds to arrive there.

"Still closed, huh," He looked at the entrance, which was still closed.

At this moment, Tom saw the security footage around the entrance, Louis Rothschild, who was standing in front of the Fourth Level Entrance.

He immediately contacted Asher and told him about the same.

"Open the Fourth Level Entrance the moment you gain control over it," Asher said.

Hearing his words, Tom reluctantly agreed as he could only do as Asher said. But, unfortunately, he himself didn't know any possible ways to help them in their current situation.

"Boss, what do we do now?" Kai asked as he controlled his breathing.

"Dane," Asher touched the communication device that was finally working.

<Yes, Boss>

"Attack Louis Rothschild the moment you enter the Fourth Level," Asher said.

"Maintain your distance and try to take his attention so we can cross over to the Third Level," Asher turned and looked at Kai.

"You can fight one more time, right?" Asher asked.

"I will not be of much help," Kai replied.

He knew that overestimating himself in such a situation would harm them later, so he replied honestly.

"Try your best," Asher said.

<I will open the entrance in exactly 120 Seconds>

"Let's go," Asher said, and Kai followed him. 

But he didn't fail to notice that the vibe around Asher had changed a bit.

It was similar to what he had sensed the first time he met Asher at the Hotel.

Asher's eyes went cold as he prepared to confront Louis. It was the only way they could try and escape, and even though they had no chance of beating Louis, they had to escape from here somehow.

Louis was standing, waiting for the intruders, as he knew they had to come here.

Knowing that one of them had a strange ability to turn invisible, he stood before the Fourth Level Entrance.

His eyes were focused, and he had spread his mana sense wide across the room.

"So you guys are finally coming out?" Louis smirked as he sensed the presence of two people.

"I was growing tired of waiting," Louis said as he stepped down the stairs near the huge locked entrance behind him.

It had been more than a minute since Louis had been standing here, and he finally saw the masked intruders once again.

"I wanted to kill one of you first, but," Louis said as he tilted his head and smiled.

"I will keep you guys alive, but it will be a bit painful," He said as he cracked his knuckles.

The pressure in the air was increasing, but Louis had changed his motives this time. Seeing that they had access to the security of this facility confirmed that they were not alone. He needed both of them for interrogation later.

<Entrance Opening>

A robotic voice came from behind when Louis turned with a frown on his face.

'Is that their backup?' Louis thought.

But he didn't have to guess much when he saw a single swordsman dash towards him.

"A single man?" Louis said as he sidestepped immediately, dodging Dane's strike.

He raised his foot as he spun and kicked Dane's body, sending him flying into the wall behind Asher and Kai.

"Guess three will be better than two," Louis said as he looked at the intruders.

At first, he thought there would be more of them, but seeing that only one guy came for them, he became sure he needed to catch them all alive.

"Dammit, he is strong," Dane said as he got up.

He had used his best speed, but seeing that Louis easily dodged his attack made him realize the difference in their strengths.

"This will be difficult," Dane said as he failed to take Louis's attention and give Asher and Kai enough time to move over to the third level.

"Try to stay alive," Louis said as he disappeared from his place and appeared before Dane.

Louis didn't care if he left them in a half-dead state. As long as they were alive, he could have the answers to his questions.

Dane squinted his eyes, dodging Louis's fist that slammed the ground he was previously standing on.

"Two A Rankers and one below B Rank. You guys are too foolish to come here," Louis removed his fist from the ground as he looked at them.

Dane side-glanced towards Kai, who nodded back at him.

"Will of the Flames, Come to...." Kai started chanting as Louis noticed him.

"Don't ignore me, bastard," Dane said as he dashed towards Louis, grabbing his attention.

He turned his sword to his side as he slashed at Louis. Even though he was weaker than Louis, Louis was not at his maximum potential due to the drug.

But instead of dodging, Louis charged toward Dane, closing the distance between them. Louis punched Dane in the stomach before Dane could connect his strike, sending him flying again.

But this time, Dane thrust his sword into the ground, preventing himself from crashing into the wall. Then, stopping at one spot, he looked at Kai, who had just finished his spell.

"Flame Carnage," Kai said as multiple chains of flame appeared beside Kai, and he became paler.

This was one of the last spells he could conjure right now.

Louis looked at various chains approaching him as he dodged the first three that went past him and damaged the walls behind him a bit. But even while dodging, he was mindful of all of their movements, which was why Asher was not attempting to go over to the Third Level.

Because the moment he did, Louis would attack him instead of Dane and Kai, and taking even one strike from Louis was enough to severely injure him.

Suddenly Dane's attention shifted from Louis as he turned his head to his right and looked at Asher, who was moving towards Louis. He remembered what Asher had told him just before arriving here.

Although it didn't make sense to him, he knew he couldn't disobey him.

'I was thinking of avoiding using that,' Asher thought as his indifferent eyes looked at Louis.
