An Important Villain The Best~
"Whoa! What is that smell?!"Rick abruptly sat up in his bed as he was woken up by the smell of something amazing being cooked.It was early morning and they all decided to sleep more than usual since they had to fight the scorpions yesterday. Ian said that they had to be in their peak condition."I don't think I'll be able to sleep after smelling something so delicious."He decided to get up from bed and check for himself what Ian was cooking outside. As he went out rubbing his eyes, he could see smoke. And there, beside the smoke, Ian with his three kids were crouching down staring at the fire. The four of them looked funny like they were doing some sort of weird ritual by the way they were sitting around the fire. "Ah-what? I thought I was the first one to be awake~"Rick whined as he got closer to the fire. The closer he got, the clearer the smell became. And even before taking a look at the food, he could guess what they were cooking now-"Hmm.. lobster? Are we having seafood t
An Important Villain Guidance or Manipulation?
"How do people live in the desert?"It was a harmless question asked by a kid who was being carried by Ian in his arms as they were on their way towards their next destination. "Hm?"Ian couldn't hear properly since the wind was brushing past his ear too fast while carrying away the words of the child. "HOW DO THEY LIVE IN THIS HEAT?!"Ria shouted on the top of her lungs so Ian could hear her this time. She hated not being heard of after staying and calling and screaming for help inside that cave for days. "Oh.. the heat.. Are you feeling hot? Is it uncomfortable?"Ian asked as he took a glance at Ria. The kid did look a little pale compared to usual. She was born and raised in a village surrounded by trees and grass, and flowers. This type of scenery, not a glimpse of trees or grass, or life, anywhere in sight, topping off with the fact that the sun was scorching hot, it was bound to make a kid feel uncomfortable. Lucas, Henry and the rest were fine since they had received train
An Important Villain He Knows
"Oh wow.." An honest expression of astonishment was plastered on Ian's face as he stared ahead in a daze. It was bright. And shiny. And loud. There was a party. Or maybe this was their regular schedule. He didn't know. There was a huge bonfire in the middle of a wide open space. The hundreds of thousands of stars blinked in harmony with the fire dancing in the wind. But they weren't the only ones dancing. There were a couple dozen people surrounding the fire that were dancing in harmony with the rest of them. Almost the whole tribe was there. They were a small tribe. Small in number, barely a hundred of them. The dozens of dancers circling the fire were probably the warriors of the tribe. Anyone would be able to tell, just by their body figures. Then again, they weren't bulky or full of musles either. Their bodies were toned, slim, delicate-looking yet tough and full of dense muscles. Both the men and women were adorned with gold ornaments that shined against the fire's lig
An Important Villain Flashback of that night-!
"What do you wanna do? Stay? Or leave?"Rick asked while munching on a beef jerky. They decided to distance themselves for the time being after Ian accidentally let revealed his presence a while ago. Right now, there were a few miles away from the tribal village. Everyone had already stopped concealing their presence and was just freely walking around. They weren't particular doing anything, since there wasn't any order from Ian, neither did he say anything about setting up a tent. It wasn't that Ian was being indecisive, more like he was out of it.The somewhat dazed expression on his face was evidence enough that his mind was somewhere else. "Stay? Or leave?"Rick nudged him from the side again, waiting for an answer. This time, Ian finally came out of his daze and looked to the side. "Let's... stay the night.. just to make sure.. ""Alright. So we're setting up the tent?"Rick nodded his head hearing Ian's decision like it was obvious. And asked something which also had a quite
An Important Villain A Decent Home
Both Ash and the tiger tribe member in front of him were momentarily lost in their thought after they came face to face with each other. But the silence only lasted for a second before the two of them came back to reality at the same time, looking at each other and asking what they were curious about."Who the hell are you?!""What did those people say?!"Both the tiger and Ash asked simultaneously, over-voicing each other. As one party tried to understand the words of another, they paused again, although only for a second. "Whatcha talking about brat? They who?"The tiger tribesman asked first, pretending to have no clue. Ash wondered what was the right thing to do at that moment, what would be the most appropriate answer. But then again, he wasn't a genius when it came to making instant excuses either. So the only thing he could do was tell the truth."The people that came before me. The ones you mistook me with.""Who were they? What was their motive?"He asked honestly without
An Important Villain The hero or the Devil?
Ian and his party was guarding the Mountains where the Tiger tribe lived.They were keeping an eye out for any sudden or unnatural movements to confirm whether the organisation had made it all the way here or not. But it was taking a while. While they stayed, ate and slept in tree branches like some monkey, Ash ran out of patience and decided to check things out for himself.So he decided to pay the owner of the mountain they were guarding a visit while Ian was supposedly sleeping. He put in a lot of effort to make countless shields around Ian before he finally left for the mountain with a peaceful mind. As he met the tiger and was invited to come in, he was genuinely shocked by how similar it's house inside the cave looked to a human abode. But then again, he wasn't there to sightsee or enjoy the scenery while sipping in tea, so he got to the point straight away as soon as he sat down on a chair."Did a group of people visit you before us? Can you tell me what they came here for?"
An Important Villain Restricted by the Contract!
'I didn't do anything bad, right?'Ash thought to himself as he replayed the events of his visit at the Tiger's den a few days ago. He considered it to be a secret visit since he went there after confirming that Ian was asleep. He only wanted to lessen some of Ian's burdens so he went to check if everything was okay or if there really was an issue.If there was, then Ash planned on solving it before Ian woke up or at least before he started realising what was happening. After he was done with his visit, meaning after confirming that there was nothing wrong yet, and giving the tiger tribe member a fair warning, he left the mountain and went down to where Ian was again.Seeing how peacefully Ian was sleeping, he was happy and also a little relieved. He didn't make any more sudden or unannounced movements for the next 3/4 days that they stayed there and just enjoyed their peaceful and quiet days with Ian. That's why, although he got caught, Ash didn't think too much about it. He was r
An Important Villain Her
"Do you know anyone there?"The Phoenix asked as it saw Ian heading towards the tribal village. He had his presence hidden but that was all. He wasn't sneaking around or hiding behind anything.As long as one had good eyesight, they'd be able to easily see Ian. Leading the phoenix to wonder if he was doing it on purpose, if so, whether Ian already knew anyone from the tribe. "Mm.. I guess?"It was an ambiguous answer. He didn't care to elaborate either. Because, truely, Ian himself couldn't explain it if asked. He knew them from reading a novel. But to be able to recognise them at first glace just because he read about them in a novel, it seemed unbelievable even to Ian himself. He felt weird.Ian was almost within the ranges where the villagers would be able to spot him when he finally stopped. A smile appeared automatically on his lips as he felt the sharp killing aura coming from behind him.The sharply pointed blade touched the back of his neck, threating to thrust in the moment
