Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 155 She's Back



When he heard about the major's reason behind creating a unit that was solely dedicated to magic users, he was surprised. He knew that the major's family was not on good terms with the tower but to think that the major would go through such lengths to destroy the tower, he was convinced.

Linius took out a piece of paper and laid it out on the table. It was the map that Astro and Ari compiled. Even the details of where they were located was written on it. Lisbon and Ainglar looked at the map with perplexed expressions on their faces.

The map clearly pointed out the laboratories that the tower was using for their experiments. One of them was a location that Ainglar couldn't forget because it was his former hometown. He thought that the place was already destroyed but based on what was written on the map, the laboratory was still operating.

His eyes lingered on that particular spot for a while before he lifted his head and looked at the major. He was now curious as to who gave him the map. Those laboratories were surely hidden from the public based on the sketchy locations but they were still able to get their exact locations.

"Do you have any questions, Lieutenant Ainglar?" Linius could tell that the man has some queries but was a bit reluctant to ask them.

"I was just wondering who is the person who sent you this map. It's difficult to infiltrate the tower without getting discovered," he answered. Instead of asking a question, he shifted to a statement instead.

Linius chuckled, "He is in fact inside the tower and currently he is the disciple of the Magus Maximus."

Ainglar immediately remembered the major's younger brother. He couldn't believe that he forgot about that bit of information. If it was the major's brother then there was nothing impossible for him then.

"We will be moving once I receive further confirmation. For now, you all need to prepare because any day from now on we might be called." Linius stood up with both of his hands behind his back. "Oh and before I forgot, I received a letter that she will be back today. Don't panic when you see an unfamiliar person here. That woman will be part of my special unit."

"Will that be Miss Nina?" Lisbon asked with curiosity. It has been so long when he last saw the woman.

"Yes," the major nodded. "If you want to get on her good side try not to irritate her. She has quite the temperament and magic power that specializes in creating bombs."

"Such a nasty description you've got there for me," a woman's voice suddenly echoed inside the room.

A silhouette appeared from the shadows and greeted them. She gave them a nod before she looked around the study. After she left, she did not stop to train and make herself stronger for the master.

"It is not nasty because I am only telling the truth and you came at the right time," Linius was not fazed that a woman suddenly appeared in the room.

Linius faced Nina and introduced her to his other lieutenant. Nina openly stared at the man as she looked at his head down to his feet. She then walked towards him and started to walk around him.

"He has an interesting magic. I can't feel any mana from him even though he is a magic user. Impressive technique." Nina was rubbing her chin while walking around the man.

She was even nodding and gave the major a thumbs-up. The major shook his head at the woman's actions but he couldn't reprimand her. Besides, no matter what he says the woman will not listen to him because she only listens to the master.

"One of the reasons why I got him to lead the team of magic users I gathered and now that you belong to the group, I would like to request that you listen to him as per his order." Linius knew that the only way to make her agree was to mention the master.

Nina frowned but because it was an order, she couldn't say no. She reluctantly nodded and followed the lieutenant towards their quarters. Linius followed to make sure that she wouldn't make any fuss. Ainglar patiently explained to her the rules and introduced to her everybody else in the group.

Back at the tower, Cygnus was now sitting with Isaiah Blackwell. The man was not happy to see the younger Ginehart but because he made a promise he couldn't back out. He endured the man's presence throughout the lunch break.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Isaiah finally asked after he got annoyed with the man's staring.

"Nothing, I'm just a little bit intrigued." In fact, Cygnus has been trying to read the man's mind but it was futile because everything was blank.

"Intrigued by what?" Isaiah asked again because there was nothing intriguing about him.

He was just a young man from an aristocratic family and he was not even part of the main family. The only thing interesting about him was that he was one of the candidates to become the next head of the Blackwell dukedom.

"That would be my little secret." Cygnus grinned as he finally stood up and left him alone.

Isaiah sighed in relief after the man's departure. He couldn't understand why that person was very curious about him. If not for the major's request, he would definitely avoid the man.

From the far corner where a door was situated, a woman stared at Cygnus's back as he left the canteen. She was sure that the man was the person she saw back at her last mission. All she needed to do was prove his identity.

They must have done something about the blood test that's why he suddenly became the duke's son. Once Alastor and Meliore came back to the tower, she was positive that they would back her claims since they all saw the man at Moonvale.

Arean would be patient and when the right time comes, she would make sure that the man's lies would be exposed. She turned around and left without noticing that the man stopped walking.

Cygnus had an evil grin on his face because of his ability to read one's mind, no thoughts could escape him, except for Isaiah Blackwell. "I should start with her," he suddenly mumbled to himself before he continued to walk away.

Isaiah who thought that peace had come suddenly felt a surge of killing intent. He turned around but saw nothing amiss. Everything was normal and the intent had already disappeared after a short while. His body couldn't help but shudder and yet he didn't know the reason why.

A week passed when Linius received a message of confirmation. Monday, the special unit under his command departed from their barracks and arrived at the different locations listed on the map. Through the doors that the master set up, entrance and escape would be easier.

Cygnus took the time to visit those places in the map and created a link from that place to the barracks. After that, Linius continued with their preparation as the team was designed for covert operations.

The special unit was divided into five groups that would take out each laboratory at the same time. They were instructed to kill everyone in those laboratories, with no exceptions. Since this was their first mission, the members were eager to prove themselves.

Nina was also ready to show the results of her training. She would also make sure that none of the people in her group would mess up. Linius looked at the woman and gave her a nod to which she returned a grin.

Cygnus appeared after the teams were already at the locations assigned to them. He and Linius returned to the latter's study to observe the operation. Since the master was not participating, he ought to watch how everything would progress.
