Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Lucas had hoped that, given all Reign had done, Emy might let things go. However, he had underestimated how petty she could be.

"I can’t let you take him. He’s my bodyguard, and without him, I won’t be able to get back to Green Valley!" Lucas protested, finally revealing the real reason he couldn’t allow such action.

Emy’s smile widened, unfazed by Lucas’s protest. "Your personal concerns don’t matter here, Mr. Lucas. That man is a criminal and needs to be dealt with accordingly."

The commanding officer glanced between the two, clearly weighing the situation. "Miss Miller, do you have any evidence of his crimes?"

"Yes," she replied, taking out a small device from her pocket. "This contains footage of him committing several atrocities."

The commanding officer nodded and took the device from her.

He watched it, and a series of disturbing images and videos began to play

Lucas stepped forward, desperation in his eyes. "You can’t just arrest him based on that."

"Mr, Lucas , please don’t side with him or I will deal with you too. My father is the highest General in this place , and if you kept on talking, I promise you that I will make your life difficult," she warned.

Lucas felt a chill run down his spine. Her threat was not something he could ignore. Swallowing hard, he forced a calm expression and nodded slightly.

"Please arrest that man immediately, and be careful. That criminal on par with a high level hunter," she ordered.

The commanding officer’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could tell that Emy had ulterior motives and that the video he had seen only showed part of the story.

However, it didn’t change the fact that her claim about Reign killing Alfonso and threatening the passengers was true.

"Mr. Lucas, I’m sorry, but as per protocol, we need to detain him for questioning. Don’t worry, if he’s really innocent, we’ll let him go, especially since he’s a powerful person who could be an asset to the city," he explained.

Lucas wanted to respond, and explain how much Reign had contributed to their survival, but before he could say anything, the commanding officer signaled his men to enter the train for the arrest.

The soldiers moved cautiously, surrounding the train before entering it. Lucas followed them inside, determined to be the one to deliver the bad news.

Inside, Reign was sitting calmly in his seat, patting Wick’s head, as they approached.

"I’m so sorry for this. Miss Emy wants you to be arrested," Lucas explained. "Please don’t worry. I’ll find a way to get you out of prison."

After he was finished, a fully geared officer stepped forward. "Sir, please cooperate. We don’t want any unnecessary violence," he said firmly.

"Arrest me? " Reign almost burst in laugher at the absurdity of their request. What prison could possibly hold a Demon Lord like himself?

Still, he needed to stay calm. Blowing his cover now would turn all his efforts worthless.

"That woman didn’t learn her lesson .I can’t believe she’d actually dare to make such a move after everything I’ve shown her." Reign said, shaking his head.

"Sir, you have the right to remain silent, but anything you say could be used against you in a court of law," the officer spoke but just got ignored.

"I want to talk to someone with more authority," Reign said, standing up.

"Don’t move!" The soldiers quickly pointed their guns at his face.

Seeing their weapons aimed at him, he felt an urge to kill everyone with his dagger but held back because he had already come up with a plan to handle the situation.

"I’m a Hunter from a Tier 1 city. Are you really sure it’s wise to point your guns at me?"

CRACK!

Electric sparks dance across his body, a warning of the power he could unleash if they choose to fight.

"Hold your fire," one of the soldiers ordered, his voice steady but with a hint of unease.

Everyone hesitated, their weapons lowering slightly as they exchanged nervous glances.

"Please follow us so you can talk to him,"

Reign was escorted outside of the train, where Emy stood waiting alongside the commanding officer.

Her eyes flashed with satisfaction as she saw him being led toward her.

"Are you already regretting your decision?" she asked, her tone haughty and arrogant.

Reign glanced at her, then at the commanding officer.

"Regret ?" he sneered in contempt "I’m just trying to make sure you all know what you’re doing,"

CRACK!

Without warning, chain of electrical charge surged around him, weaving a shimmering barrier of lightning.

The air vibrated, and the sound of thousands of chirping birds filled the fort as his aura became brighter and more overwhelming . It sent out waves of blue electricity that seemed to pulse with every beat.

"Get ready !" The soldiers stepped back, holding their guns up in worry. Some of them shifted nervously, their fingers twitching on their triggers.

The commanding officer, trying to stay in control, looked worried .

"I’m from the Razer Family," Reign declared, using Jayden’s last name to his advantage.

The commanding officer’s eyes widened in recognition. "The Razer Family? One of the two families known for lightning breathing technique ?"

"That’s right. If you know my family’s reputation, you should understand that what you’re doing is wrong," Reign replied, his voice showing annoyance. "Do you even know why I’m here?"

The commanding officer’s eyes shifted from curiosity to concern. "I’m afraid we don’t have all the details. We are arresting you based on the evidence provided by Miss Miller."

"Don’t believe him!" Emy interrupted. She had been suspicious about his claim to be from the Razer family from the start, and after seeing how he fought before, she concluded that he wasn’t a true hunter.

"I saw him fight. I think he’s a rogue who stole the Razer Family’s techniques. We’d be rewarded if we turn him in. Think about it—why would someone from that Legendary Family be here and act as a mere bodyguard , and without an official mission?" she explained, trying to twist the narrative to her advantage.

The soldiers exchanged worried glances, understanding the logic behind her words.

CLAP!

CLAP!

CLAP!

Reign broke the silence with a slow, mocking clap. "I’ve met a lot of annoying women before, but you really take the icing in the cake,"

"Don’t act so arrogant. You’re a criminal and need to be detained!" Emy snapped, her anger and hatred clear in her every words.

Her eyes narrowed, as if she couldn’t wait to punish him for all the physical and emotional damage he had caused her.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Rain, but without proper proof of your identity, we need you to come with us," the commanding officer said with a heavy sighed.

Normally, he would have been more authoritative and firm, but the backgrounds of the people involved made him choose a more neutral approach.
