Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 75 Here They Come



Alfonso, a town known for its peacefulness and low crime rate, once again woke up to horrifying news. The festival has yet to end but most of the visitors started to leave because of what was happening.

This time, the military and the mages who were in-charge of the case weren't able to hide and cover the incident because of how wide scale it has become. Not only were there victims outside but there were also victims taken away from their homes in the middle of the night.

"Are just going to watch all of this happen?" Astrophos was pacing inside the room where they were currently at.

Everything that happened yesterday was already replaced when they heard the news. If they can't apprehend whoever was behind this kidnapping and killings, he would continue to do what he wanted.

"Relax, I'm sure that Ginehart and the mages are doing their best to resolve this case. And besides, someone more interesting will come. That person will be able to solve this problem once he arrives." It was a usual scene but this time Cygnus was sure that one of those heroes would come.

"What are you talking about?" Astrophos stopped and stared at Cygnus. He was speaking in riddles again and he hated that part of him.

"You'll have to wait and see. It will be more exciting if you see them with your own eyes. But I think you've already met at least one of them." The master did not give the man any hints and instead made it even more mysterious.

The grand mage looked at the woman but she only raised a brow and didn't say anything. He could admit to himself that he had gotten used to how they act but there were still times where he seemed to have not gotten used to them.

He sighed and finally sat down to calm himself. Since the major was handling the case then he might as well relax for a bit and wait for some good news. Then as the master had said, before the day would end, a person who he did not expect to appear came.

Heroes, they were people who were blessed by the gods to have a power that can slay darkness. They were blessed with infinite mana and strength that they use to subdue enemies that use the dark power.

They were the kind of existence that people looked up to and they received love as well as the highest respect. They were admired and revered like they were gods themselves.

After the hero came, everything became a whirlwind. Major Ginehart invited them to a banquet they prepared for the hero that came to their aid. Nina had a blast and went all out to shop for appropriate clothing they shall wear.

The people who were informed of the hero's arrival were ecstatic because finally someone with great ability was there to help them solve the crisis. They sang songs in joy at the arrival of the hero and what more, the hero that came was someone all of them knew.

Nina, who was looking out the window, spoke while they were getting ready for the banquet. "This hero, who is he? And why are the people so happy to see him? Look at the streets, it is more lively than the beginning of the festival."

"That's because he was famous not just because of his skills but also because of his looks. Among the rankings of heroes that the people made, he is amongst the top twenty," the grand mage explained.

"Great looks huh, is he better looking than our master?" Nina pushed herself from the window she was leaning on and looked at the man who was sitting on one of the seats inside the room.

They were waiting for the butler and the master to come before they went to the banquet. Nina walked towards the man and placed both of her hands on the armrests of the chair, effectively trapping the grand mage who stared at her in horror.

Astrophos leaned back further to avoid the woman who was now leaning low. "What are you doing?" His voice shook as his heart pounded so loud in his chest.

"No matter how good looking that hero is, my master is way better looking than him." Her voice was firm and carried no humor with it. She was very serious and wouldn't let anybody tell her otherwise.

"Alright, alright I got it! Now could you please move back." Astrophos lifted his hands with his palms facing the woman to cover himself from any further assault.

Nina narrowed her eyes before she relented as she took a step back, "Tsk," she walked to one of the empty chairs and also sat with a frown on her face.

The atmosphere around turned awkward but neither of them wanted to break the silence. The door to the room opened and the master and the butler. Just then, the tense silence was broken. Nina looked in awe at how handsome his master was.

His black hair was neatly combed back with a little bit of hair hanging loose on his forehead. His white suit that was accented with black linings at the end of his collar, lapel and sleeves gave the clothing emphasis. And the golden leaf embroidery on just the end of the sleeves made the suit more elegant and pleasing to the eye.

The overall look gave the master the vibe of someone from the noble family. He was dashing and once he smiled, Nina was sure that all the ladies in that banquet will fall head over hills for him.

"You are looking good, master!" Nina commented as he stepped towards them and patted the master's shoulder and fixed his suit jacket. "This suit really looked good on you."

Cygnus smiled, "Thank you for that compliment even though I already know that I am indeed handsome." This statement was followed by a crisp laugh from the man and a smile from the butler.

"Are you planning on stealing the limelight, master?" Nina aske in curiosity. The master was not really into dressing up that's why she was a bit surprised that he agreed when she showed him the suit.

"Well, they said that the hero was someone with good looks so I was going to test out how his pride will be able to handle someone who has more potential than him." Cygnus grinned and confirmed Nina's question.

"You are really that confident with your looks?" Astrophos could not help but comment from the side.

"I am not confident with my looks, instead I am confident with the charisma I have. It is something you won't fully understand, because as I can see you don't have it in you." Cygnus gave the man a mocking smile then he chuckled at how the mage's face scrunched up after his words.

"Yes, the grand mage does lack charisma since he is always cowardly and worries too much. That's not going to give the ladies a good first impression," Nina followed up. She covered her mouth but Astrophos knew that she was smirking behind her hands because her eyes which glinted for a second did not escape his eyes.
