Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Lucas moved nervously, sensing the irritation. He now saw Reign as someone far more important than just a bodyguard.

Reign's arrogance and dismissal of BioGen's influenced made everybody think that his background was beyond anything the Chamber of Commerce could touch.

No sane person would intentionally mess with such a group without being confident in their own backing.

"Well, Mr. Rain," Lucas said, trying to stay calm, "Miss Emy wanted to speak with you and apologize for disrespecting you earlier. She mentioned that if there's anything you need or any concerns you have, please let her know. She wanted to avoid any trouble that could affect your plans or our arrangements."

Reign paused for a moment, as he absorbed the information. 'So she decided to change her bitchy attitude. What a boring move,' he thought, dismissing the gesture as futile.

He would be a fool to believe she genuinely wanted to make peace. With her personality, she was likely trying to find a way to temporary be out of harms way.

Once she was in a better position, she would likely try to take her revenge.

'But alright, I'll play along. Let's see what she's planning, ' he thought, his lips curling into a sadistic creepy grin.

Lucas shivered at Reign's expression and sighed, thinking, 'I hate this. I want this deal to over as soon as possible.'

Although Reign's protection would make reaching Brentwood easier, Lucas felt that the person before him was more dangerous than the hordes of corrupted surrounding the city.

'Am I just imagining things? I wish I'm just over thinking ,' he wondered, hoping that his usually accurate intuition was wrong this time.

Reign's smile lingered as he observed Lucas's discomfort. He could sense the man's growing unease, which only amused him further. He had no intention of revealing his true intentions just yet.

For now, he would play along and see how the situation unfolded.

He liked this much more than pretending to be just another person among ordinary humans. Lilith might be able to fake it for a long time, but he couldn't stand it.

Reign's true identity was a Peak Unrivaled Demon Lord, capable of destroying cities. If any humans thought they could boss him around, he would gladly teach them a lesson—free of charge.

"Tell her I expect a direct apology. Tell her to come here," he ordered, his voice more commanding, knowing no one would dare question him.

Lucas swallowed hard, nodding quickly. "Yes, Mr. Reign. Right away," he replied, his voice trembling slightly. He turned and hurried out of the cabin, not daring to hesitate .

A couple of minutes later, Emy walked in. She was now dressed more casually, with her top covered by an expensive-looking gray jacket.

For a moment, her face showed a bit of fear, but she quickly pulled herself together.

She needed to reach Brentwood, and with his help, her chances were much better. She knew it wouldn't be good if he decided to abandon her during an emergency, especially now that her lover and strongest bodyguard was dead.

"I apologize for my behavior. I didn't know you're from a prestigious Hunter family," she said, bowing her head.

Her face was filled with embarrassment and grief. But she knew she had to hide her own frustration.

"And why should I accept your apology? You threatened me with your corporation, and now you're trying to pretend it never happened. This is really annoying. Even the young master of the Flazer family didn't irritate me this much," he shook his head in utter disappointment.

The mention of the Flazers made Emy break into a cold sweat.

The Flazer family was known as one of the strongest lightning hunters. 'No way, so he's really from that family,'

She had thought he might be a rogue Hunter or someone who had been exiled, but his casual mention of the Flazer family made her reassess his value.

Reign smiled, enjoying her reaction. He remembered the information Lilith had given him. Seeing that they all misunderstood his identity, he decided to go with the flow and pretend to be from Arc/Jayden's clan.

"I'm willing to compensate you," she added.

"I don't need money. I'm so rich I don't even know how to spend it," he replied with a sneer. "I want something else, something more important and valuable to you."

Emy was speechless. She turned to look at him and was shocked to see his creepy smile.

'Is he serious? Does he want me to offer myself to him? ' she thought, feeling frustrated by the idea.

'How sick can he be? First, he killed my lover, and now he's making these outrageous demands,' she added, disgusted by the mere thought.

Reign, on the other hand, was innocent and just genuinely grinning. He was just smiling at the sight of such a stuck-up woman being on edge, but she was already mentally accusing him of being disgusting pervert.

And even if he were planning anything with her, it would be nothing more than eating her—literally.

"Anything but that," she protested strongly

'But what? Did she somehow figured out what I wanted even before I did? 'he thought, amused. 'I don't even have anything in mind yet!'

However, seeing her conflicted face gave him some satisfaction, so he decided to go along with it.

"Why not? Do you think that's more important than your life?" he replied with a sneer, making his response vague because he didn't know what she meant.

'Disgusting murderer! she cursed inwardly. ' She felt insulted as a woman that Reign saw her body like an object.

She wanted to slap him so badly but controlled her emotions. She had come here to mend their relationship, not to make things worse.

"Please don't be too unreasonable. I know you hate me, but this is just too much," she pleaded, trying to negotiate.

'What the hell is she talking about?' he thought. 'Maybe it's something so important that she's acting this desperate?

"Just give it to me," he ordered, his voice growing colder and deeper.

The sudden, unsettling vibration in his tone made Emy instinctively drop to the ground, feeling suffocated.

'What's happening to me? I can't breathe, ' she gasped.

Reign stood up and moved closer.

"Listen, you came here to apologize, so it's my right to demand what I want. Stop talking and just give me what I want," he warned.

"I…" she tried to fight it off, but the pressure was too much.

In the end, she finally gave in. "I will."

At that moment, the pressure on her body was released.

He sat back on his bed, excited about whatever she was planning to give him in exchange. It must be really important, given her reluctance to part with it.

"Show it to me now," he ordered, his creepy smile widening with anticipation.
