The Villain Can't Lose

I was astonished by her answer.

"What? Don't you think this is dangerous?" I raised my voice.

"No, not really." She answered calmly as if the stake for her didn't matter.

"You do realize what you just said, right?" I felt a small vibration go through my body.

The feeling of satisfaction was there, and I could easily imagine myself having her under my control.

"Yes, I agreed to fight you. So what?" She shrugged.

"So what!" I answered as my voice echoed across the room, "if you lose, you will belong to me, Nari..." I started rubbing my fingers together. She had no idea what she got herself into right now.

The assassin that helped to kill the previous me soon will be under my wing and my control. I will possess her as my property once she loses the fight against me, I knew her weakness.

"And what if I win?" She asked.

My heart skipped a beat after hearing that question again.

"Then I'll tell you everything about your family." I lied.

"Wh..." Her eyes widened in surprise as she stammered, "master, do you know anything about my family?" She immediately flinched, hoping I would give her an answer.

But the truth was, I didn't know shit.

I was as hopeless as Nari, but she didn't need to know this, "why do you think I'm so confident in this bet?" I placed my hand on the table and stared at it, avoiding eye contact with Nari.

"Ple-please!" She stuttered, "tell me!" She yelled at me.

"You clearly forgot who you are talking to right now," I reminded, hoping that she won't ask any questions about it for now.

She stopped, just as I believed.

"Nari, I'll tell you everything about your family if I lose." I said with a calm tone, "in other words, you need to defeat me. If you can't do it, I will become your master." I knew well that Nari had no chance of defeating me because right from the very beginning, I was planning to cheat my way into winning.

"I will win!" I saw how her small fists clenched tightly, "I'll win!" She repeated again in a firm voice.

"Alright then, if you're feeling better, you may leave now." I replied with no emotions on my face, "Serenu will tell you when and where to meet me tomorrow," I waved her goodbye and watched as she walked away.

As she left the room, I gasped and breathed out... It was a long sigh, and this made me feel exhausted.

I wondered if this was going to be hard with every single person that I will need on my side as well.

I was aware of their weak points and weaknesses, but if I were to struggle right now with just one woman, I would need to work on my skills a little bit more.

Nari's reaction had also surprised me, how fast she went from a fragile maid that couldn't protect herself against a bully to a challenging assassin who could kill me immediately if she wanted to, 'not gonna lie, that was kinda cute,' my lips curved into a smirk as I looked at my cold hand that was turning blue.

"They really need a heating system in this place," I murmured while taking a look around.

But for now, I had to check one thing, and that was my power.

How the mirror technique actually worked and to think of how I should get that demon sooner.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Once I allow it to enter my body, I will immediately destroy it, even if I don't know how to... I will find a way to.

I got up from the chair and moved to the dark red wooden door, "this color is irritating," I rolled my eyes as I walked out of my chambers... then something came into my mind, "this bitch, where is she?" I frowned.

I needed to find that ugly maid and teach her a lesson for putting her hands on Nari.

As I walked past the office, a smile forced upon my face, "that idiot," I smirked wanting to get inside and mock him even more.

I couldn't understand why Rowen was so scared of his father when he was nothing but a mere loser in my eyes right now, why was he even intimidated by him, I just couldn't get it.

My steps quickened and soon I found myself in the place where that maid hit Nari, "where are you?"

My eyes wandered around as I whispered to myself, "there!"

I then saw a huge white door being opened to the place where the laundry servants were working, "she should be there if I'm not wrong," I followed the line of the corridor until I reached the door that I was looking for.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I knew that this room was full of the smell of dirty clothes and sweat. But I didn't know how many people were inside, I knew that I wouldn't stay there for long before they noticed me.

I quickly searched through the room until I found two women washing clothes. They both wore the same uniforms as the maids outside, but this time, they had black gloves covering all five fingers and their hair was tied in a ponytail on the top of their heads.

"There you are!" I murmured as I grabbed one of them by her collar and dragged that maid out of the room.

I looked her in the eyes with a glare, and as soon as I saw how scared she had become, my smile widened, "follow me." I commanded.

Her bravery from an hour ago was long gone by now. I could feel her shivering legs breaking down as her voice was barely above a whisper, "wh-what are you doing?" She asked me while shaking in fear.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson for hitting Nari," I replied with a cold tone of voice.

After a couple of minutes, we were in the back garden, 'as I remember correctly the stairs to the dungeons where Rowen was torturing the servants were underneath these bushes.' I thought, narrowing my eyes and taking a look around.

I put the maid down on the ground and squatted in front of her.

"Now, what do you say to that?" I asked her with a stern voice.

It was a perfect time for me to practice my mirror technique.
