The villain's side of the novel-Novel

After an unknown period

"Ugh." A faint voice came out of Don's mouth as he opened his eyes slowly, as soon as his consciousness became clear he remembered something and quickly looked toward his legs, he found that his legs were still there and he was now lying and bound on a simple medical bed in an unfamiliar room.

"Don't be nervous, it was just an hallucination." Don suddenly heard a voice coming from his right side and turned around to see Casper standing near the bed.

(An hallucination? I felt it, how could that terrible pain be an illusion?) Don thought with a complex expression. But he decided to ignore these thoughts and instead he asked Casper, "Where's Fray?"

"He's got some work to take care of, but he'll be here soon," Casper replied lightly

And as Casper said, it didn't take long for the two of them to hear the sound of footsteps approaching, then the door opened and a tall, muscular figure entered with a cold expression on his face and some papers in his hands.

"Hello Don," said Fray, sitting on a chair by the bed, while Casper stood behind him with a respectful expression.

"Fray, why are you doing this? We've been classmates for more than a year," Don shouted angrily after seeing Fray.

Don couldn't comprehend how Fray could be so brutal. After all, they were classmates in the Shield class and had gone through a lot of crises together even though their relationship wasn't that good but he still thinks that Fray went too far.

"You already know why I'm doing this," Fray said in a low voice, reading the papers in his hands without paying much attention to Don's anger.

"Is it because we entered Iskar City without permission? You could just ask for compensation. It wasn't necessary to wipe out all my comrades," Don said with the same angry expression.

In fact, Don understands that he is a wanted pirate and that any city he will enter without permission will attack him immediately. But he still cannot accept that his men were killed so brutally by one of his classmates. Who made a promise to support each other and protect humanity.

"I don't have much time to talk to you so I'll tell you why you're here rapidly," said Fray, then raised his head from the papers he was reading and looked at Don with a serious expression "First of all, I have reliable information that you entered Iskar under the orders of the Vice-Captain of the shield union, Luke Moonlight, to tame sea monsters by using your skill to use it to attack the city in the future."

One of the reasons for the loss of Iskar city in the war against Luke in the is the attacks of the sea monsters that were tamed by Don's skill.

"..." Don opened his eyes with a shocked expression after hearing Fray's words. His alliance with Luke is very confidential information despite the two of them no one knows about this. After getting many disturbing letters from Fray's sister Erma, and because of their previous experience with Fray, Luke felt that Fray might pose a threat in the future to the innocents and perhaps even to the Shield Organization, so as a backup plan Don was sent to Iskar city with the objective of bringing sea monsters near the city under his control to use them as weapons in the case of emergency.

Without caring about Don's shock, Fray continued his words in a cold voice, "Secondly, I have strong evidence to suspect that you were one of the people who killed my knights five years ago."

"..." After hearing this, Casper's smile suddenly disappeared and turned into an angry expression filled with killing intent

(What? Just how the hell did he get this information?) Don thought, shocked at what Frey had said, but he maintained his neutral expression and said, "Do you have any proof for your accusation?"

"Do you really think I need evidence ?" Fray said in a cold voice

"..." Don was silent, unable to answer because he had good knowledge about Fray's mindset, Fray wouldn't say anything he was not sure about, and if he was sure it is almost impossible to change his opinion. So Don knew that lying is useless at this point

"How did you know all this?" Don asked while letting out a helpless sigh

"Do you admit your crimes?" asked Fray with a cold expression mingled with a slight hint of anger

"You know very well that we are not mistaken, you are a dangerous person we must take precautions to stop you if needed, and five years ago your Knights killed many innocent people we had to get rid of them," Don said in a firm voice.

"Do you know the penalty for killing members of the Prada family?" ask Fray

"..." Don suddenly felt a cold tremor running through his body

*******

In a village near Iskar city

"Oh my God, how could someone be so brutal, no one was left alive," Gus muttered in a low voice as he looked at a huge cemetery containing hundreds of graves.

"Whoever did this must be professionals, they didn't leave any trace behind," Aslan said with a sympathetic expression.

In fact, when they were heading towards Iskar city, Aslan and the others passed through this village, but no matter how much they searched around the village, they did not find any inhabitants, and by chance, they managed to find this cemetery, which appears to be newly established, which made them conclude that the villagers are buried here.

"It must be the team called the Deadly Numbers," said Gus after some time of thought

"Do you mean that team that is said to destroy all monster communities? Does that mean that the residents of this village were monsters?" Aslan

"Actually, that is the only explanation," said Luke, who was standing next to Aslan

"Could the Prada family be responsible for this?" asked Gus

"We can't jump to conclusions without evidence, but whoever did this must be stopped," Luke said in a firm voice.

(I hope he's not the one behind this massacre.) Aslan thought with a sad expression

"Recently, Iskar city has been behaving in strange manners" Gus

"...." Luke nodded and didn't say anything. But he also sensed that there was something weird going on in the Prada family, Erma and Don don't answer his letters anymore. In addition to the strange events happening in the city. All of this made Luke feel uncomfortable as if something huge was going to happen soon.
