Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

441 Fall and Rise - XII

Alan and his friends were moving in a particular direction as Alan carefully chose the routes.

Alan looked down at his wrist saw the time, and looked behind as all the people were busy looking at things.

'Anytime now,' Alan thought in his head.

It was about to happen, and Alan was waiting for the signal.

More than a week ago,

"So, I just need to inject this drug into her and bring her blood?" Alan asked.

"Can't we just kill her?" Alan looked at Leonard.

"Where's the benefit in doing that?" Leonard asked.

Alan couldn't go against Leonard's plan and knowing that the target was Asher Greville, Alan agreed quite easily.

"Two birds with one stone, huh," Alan muttered.

Alan proceeded to do just that and said all the things that Leonard had told him to say.

Due to the agreements that happened more than a decade ago, the Astaria family was obligated to protect and give Alyssa a normal life.

But Alyssa didn't know about it at all, and so threatening her to leave the World Academy worked.

Ping!

Alan received a notification as he glanced and it and turned around.

"Hey guys, I heard of a good place to spend some time," Alan said loudly.

Everyone looked at Alan.

"Hmm, Gavin isn't here though," Alan muttered.

"Argh, I will tell him the location let's go there in the meantime," Alan suggested.

Since they were going to follow around Alan anyway, nobody was against the idea of going with Alan.

As they were moving, Alan looked around and looked at the city map to make sure the other students followed after him.

Part of the Royal Capital was full of open grassland and forest-like areas, and it added to the beauty of the city, and most of the expensive areas were near the grassland and the big bridge that was the only path to the Royal Castle that could be partially seen at a distance.

"Hey is this the right place?"

"Hmm, aren't we going a bit away from our area?"

"That's weird, according to the map this is the fastest way to get to the next district that is near the Arena," Alan said out loud.

Some of them came near Alan to look at the map when suddenly they felt a surge of mana near them, and they saw a Dungeon Gate appear before them.

"What the hell?!"

"A Dungeon!"

A dungeon gate formed before them as they all got shocked and channeled their mana subconsciously.

The group of 15 students were among the Top 30 students of World Academy.

It wasn't wrong to say they were the best of the best among all the current Third Year Students.

"We need to report this Dungeon Gate!" One of them shouted.

He immediately tapped on his ID Bracelet when Alan opened his mouth.

"Wait!" Alan said halting him,

"I have an artifact that can check the rank of the Dungeon Gate with me," Alan spoke out.

Usually, a Runemaster would have needed to know the rank of the dungeon gate and the restrictions on it if it had any.

"What do you mean?" One of them asked.

"Wait a second," Alan said as he took out a scroll-like thing from his storage ring.

And channeled his mana into that paper as it floated toward the large dungeon gate and started glowing.

It floated back toward Alan as he looked at the result and smiled.

"It's a lower C Rank Dungeon," Alan said out loud.

"I knew it, isn't this the perfect chance to clear this dungeon and gain a lot of fame," Alan said as he smiled.

As expected, a few of them weren't sure about this idea, an unexplored dungeon, going in there without knowing what was inside didn't sound like a good idea.

"Just think about it, World Academy students clear a newly made Dungeon Gate on their own, surely it would increase our reputation all over the world," Alan said.

And just like Leonard had told him, he could see some of them thinking about his suggestion.

All of the people here were from fairly powerful families and knowing they could gain fame and represent their families made them think about Alan's suggestion.

"I mean, we have many C- Rank Hunters here, and 16 people are enough to clear this dungeon," Alan said.

He could see the troubled faces of others as they gave his suggestion real thought.

"But Alan isn't this a bit dangerous?"

"Hahaha, don't be a coward, see this is just a lower C Rank Dungeon," Alan said.

"What could potentially go wrong?" He said while displaying the scroll to them.

Just like he said, it was a lower C Rank Dungeon.

"Sounds good to me and we have all our weapons and artifacts with us as well," One of them stepped up.

Due to the nature of the trip, all the students were allowed to carry the weapons and artifacts they owned and because of their high ranks, none of the students here lacked in either of those.

"We have cleared such dungeons with a team of 8 before, 16 of us could easily clear it," Alan said confidently.

"Hmm, I am in," Another student stepped in.

Thinking of the benefits and how their names would be all over the news if they did this, made them join Alan's idea of going inside the dungeon one by one.

'This way, he will owe me a favor as well!' Many of them thought.

Not only they would get famous, but Alan Astaria the Heir of the Astaria family would owe them a small favor as well.

And just like that, Alan managed to enter the Dungeon with a smile on his face as he completed his role in the plan that Leonard told him.

'Now where's that bitch, I can't wait to mess her up,' Alan thought as the students behind were carefully observing their surroundings.

Apart from Alan nobody knew that this dungeon was artificially created.

But something that even Alan didn't expect happened, as he looked behind him and the portal that they came from disappeared.

The smile on Alan's face faded away as he realized that things had changed from the plans 'he' knew.

A few minutes ago in the Royal Capital,

"Let's start with our plan," Kevin whispered looking at Elena.

Elena nodded as she clapped her hands and gathered everyone's attention.

"Amelia, we were thinking of buying some gifts, so we wanted to split for a while," Elena said.

"Split?" Amelia asked,

She was confused, out of nowhere Elena made new plans that she wasn't aware of.

"Yeah, sorry, I just forgot to tell you about it," Elena said.

"But don't worry, I will send you the final location where we can all meet," Elena added.

"You forgot to tell her?" Eva added.

"I know, I am sorry Amelia," Elena said again,

"It's fine, what's the location, I will wait for you guys there," Amelia said.

All of them split up, and Amelia went to the location as she wasn't in the mood to buy gifts.

"Maybe I should tell Damian to join me there," Amelia thought as she texted Damian.

The location was a luxurious restaurant, so it was a good place for both of them to have a conversation.

Thinking that Amelia walked while Elena, Kevin, Eva, Lishia, and Ria met up as they confirmed that Amelia had gone away in that direction.

"Are you sure, she wouldn't be upset?" Kevin asked.

"It's fine, she will be happy once she knows we did all this for a surprise party for her," Elena replied.

"Should we go get the gifts we arranged?" Elena asked and all of them nodded.

Amelia's birthday was a few weeks away, but it coincided with the Trials Ground opening, so Elena gave Kevin the idea to celebrate her birthday early.

It was a cheer-up party for Amelia, that Kevin wanted, and it would help her enjoy the trip even more.

Elena had told this plan to everyone present here, and they wanted to surprise Amelia as well. Although Lishia wasn't that close to Amelia, they became good friends as she interacted with Kevin's group.

The idea of retrieving the gifts from the Royal City was given to her by Lishia herself, and it was easy for her to arrange things in Halcyon.

Kevin easily agreed as knowing Lishia's status in Halcyon, he was sure that Lishia would do a great job arranging things for them.
