"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!"
Radmilo pulled out his hand from Dianella's hair when Ellery punched him in the face. He wiped the blood that was flowing from the corner of his lips and then laughed when he saw Ellery glaring.
"Didn't you also say that this girl is noisy? I was helping you by covering her mouth. Instead of thanking me, you paid back my kindness with a punch," said Radmilo, looking at his bloodied palms.
If his body resistance was not good enough, then Ellery's punch would knock him out. It was a stroke of luck that his stats were not reset when he returned to the past, so Ellery's punch felt like a child's punch to him.
"I'll give you a second chance because I'm a good person," Radmilo spoke again, then pointed at his feet with his eyes. "Come on, hurry and lick my feet while I'm still being nice."
Not only Ellery was taken aback by the request but also everyone in the room. At first, they intended to beat up Radmilo because he had been rude to Dianella. Their intentions immediately changed upon finding out that the man could handle Ellery's punch.
However, Ellery thought Radmilo was just lucky. After all, he did not use all of his strength. That meant there was still a chance he could beat Radmilo.
"I'm indeed annoyed with Dianella, but I'm super manly. It's a sin if I hurt a woman. I'm not a loser like you who can hurt women for no reason," told Ellery, glancing at Dianella, who still did not move.
Radmilo showed a straight face, even though he was labeled a loser. In his previous life, he had often heard such words. People would have criticized him if they found out that he had killed a woman.
Because of that, Radmilo always killed his target with no one knowing, except the world government, of course. He had never been involved in scandals with a woman because he wanted to maintain his image as a hero.
Now Radmilo dared to attack Dianella because he intended to use his <Spool Back> skill. He still did not want to get into trouble with the Smith family because he attacked their daughter. His reason for making such a fuss was to confirm something.
"I don't care about your speeches. In my eyes, everyone is the same, no matter if they are male or female. If they are annoying, then I will beat them up," said Radmilo nonchalantly.
Ellery, who was fed up, could not hold his anger anymore. His fist would have landed on Radmilo's face if someone had not grabbed his leg. He looked down to find that it was Dianella.
The girl's condition was quite serious. It looked like her nose bone was broken after hitting the chair. However, Dianella did not show that she was in pain. Instead, she wiped the blood from her nose casually, as if the blood was just sweat that came out because she was tired.
"I'm impressed by your actions. What's your name?" Dianella asked as she looked up to glance at Radmilo. She snorted in annoyance since the man did not respond. "Will you tell me your name if I beat you?" she continued.
"Unfortunately, you cannot defeat me. And I have no interest in fighting with you," replied Radmilo, who had now grabbed Ellery's wrist.
Something he wanted to confirm was the stone that appeared in the human's hand. The reason he died in his previous life was that Maido crushed his stone. He remembered Maido told him that the stone had a function similar to the heart.
Radmilo wanted to confirm Maido's words by crushing the stone in Ellery's hand. He gripped Ellery's hand tightly until he heard broken bones, followed by a heartbreaking scream. However, something Maido talked about was not proven.
"Why don't you die?" asked Radmilo, releasing Ellery's right hand. The confused frown on his forehead grew more and more after seeing that the stone had been crushed.
Meanwhile, Ellery did not know how to answer because Radmilo's question was strange. "Do you think you can kill me just because you broke my hand?" he asked, smiling mockingly as he tried to hide his fear.
Radmilo remained silent and instead approached the people sitting in other chairs. He stretched out his hand and said, "Lend me a dagger if you have one. The person who lent it can get out of here without having to go to the hospital."
The people looked at each other doubtfully. Some of them carried daggers, but they did not dare to give one to Radmilo. They did not know what the man was going to do with the dagger.
Even though they had the same thoughts, that did not mean they also had the same decisions. In the end, one of them gave the dagger to Radmilo. He wanted to try his luck by pleasing the man.
"Wow, thank you very much!" Radmilo accepted the dagger wholeheartedly. He looked at the person who gave him the dagger and asked, "Can you give your hand to me?"
"Why should I...?" The person did not obey the request after watching what happened to Ellery's hand.
Radmilo no longer showed a friendly face. Without permission, he pulled the person's hand and smiled slightly when he saw that there was a stone in his hand. Then he stuck the tip of the dagger right into the stone.
"Argh, w-what did you do to my hand?!"
Everyone immediately turned away from Radmilo because the man was showing gestures he was losing his mind. Why was that man obsessed with crushing someone's hand? They did not want to be the next victim.
Meanwhile, Radmilo stared in disappointment at his dagger, which was covered in blood. He thought the dagger would have an effect because Maido stabbed him with a dagger. It turned out that he did not know what the world government had found regarding the stone.
"Looks like I have to end my experiment now," said Radmilo, tilting his head.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand and caught something in the air. "You're still a rookie for me, Miss Smith. I can feel your attack," he said.
Dianella, who had quietly turned herself into invisibility, gasped in surprise. This was the first time someone had dodged her attack, even though her attack was invisible right now. She did not expect that Radmilo could snare her hand.
"Who are you?" Dianella asked, while deactivating her skill.
However, Radmilo instead raised his middle finger while grinning. "See you later, everyone! Thank you for your participation."
A moment later, a notification popped up...
