"I'll give you five minutes to think."
When Radmilo said that, the people became even more confused. They had been with Enrique for years, and it took them a long time to think about replacing him with a stranger.
Radmilo snorted as he realized their doubts. "Am I not kind enough to give you guys some time? If you don't decide, then I will."
Everyone had the same thought after hearing those words. Whatever decision they made, Radmilo would continue to force his will on anything to take Enrique's position. Their opinion was not needed.
"What benefits will we get if you join our organization?" Enrique finally said something. Inevitably, he had to accept the fact that Radmilo was not someone he could take lightly.
"I told you, I know information about the IRO."
"We can also find information about them even if it takes a long time. Then no one knows if you're lying or not."
Radmilo was silent for a moment. Of all the people there, only Enrique and Elena dared to speak to him. They had the courage to know that he would not just throw them away.
"I have the power to know the future," said Radmilo, surprising the people there for the third time. "Then I don't care if you don't believe me. One more thing, your time is up."
The man stood up from his chair and clapped for a while. "Congratulations to myself for being the head of the organization! Any objections?"
It had not even been five minutes, but Radmilo already called himself the head of the organization. The most embarrassing thing was the fact that no one had any objections.
They did not want to sacrifice themselves to attack Radmilo. If they lost, then they had no chance of correcting their actions. It would be better if they obeyed and let Radmilo be the head of the organization.
Thus, they would at least find out about Radmilo after spending a lot of time together. When they knew the man had a weakness, then they could take action. However, they also had to be prepared to accept the terrible possibility that Radmilo had no weaknesses.
"What are you going to do after becoming the head of the organization?" A man in a white robe asked. He wore a half-mask adorned with gems and painted gold.
His appearance was more prominent than anyone else's, as if he had come to a party instead of attending a meeting with an evil organization. Radmilo could immediately recognize the person because of his appearance.
The man was Chester, someone with Histrionic Personality Disorder, a mental health condition marked by an overwhelming desire to be noticed. Since childhood, he always did anything to get attention, even if it had to hurt other people.
Chester became out of control as he grew older and committed more serious mischief. That was what made him end up in a criminal organization. Radmilo remembered a member of the Phantom Guild told him about Chester's background.
Because of that, Radmilo knew Chester's mental health and his power. Chester could blow up anything or anyone weaker than him. When Radmilo made a fuss, he secretly used his power and failed.
People knew Chester would take action from the moment Radmilo challenged Enrique and got all the attention. They came to believe that Radmilo was indeed strong after finding out that Chester could do nothing to him. However, they still did not know why such a strong person had never appeared before.
"I'll make new rules," Radmilo spoke and everyone became suspicious of the rules he was about to make. "Don't accept weak people in this organization. I prefer quality, not quantity."
He made this rule after learning that Enrique accepted anyone who wanted to join the organization, as long as that person had the will to act evil. He did not want to run into stupid people like the ones he met when he arrived on this island.
"I don't care about what you do. However, I'll kill you if it breaks the organization. At the next meeting, I'll put roles and jobs for you. Everyone must carry out their roles well if they don't want to die."
The explanation made them realize Radmilo had come here with no plans. He only brought power and courage with him. They suddenly became worried about what would happen to the organization if such a person ruled over them.
Radmilo knew people's thoughts about him and ignored them. Since returning to the past, he had made a plan if one day he stayed in a criminal organization. He did not want to be the one being ruled.
It did not matter if Radmilo had to become a dungeon cleaner to maintain his image as a desperately poor man. However, he did not want to follow the rules of someone who could restrict his movements.
He had thought about the roles and jobs that he would give his organization members. However, he had to evaluate his plans so that the role he was given was suitable for everyone. He did not want to get in trouble for giving them roles they did not fit into.
"I'll give you guys the role later. However, I've decided to give Chester the role of 'distraction'. He is the one who will distract people if we want to do something big in an important place."
Chester had heard that Radmilo claimed to know the information of everyone in the organization. However, he was still surprised because he had never met Radmilo before. Even the man knew that he liked to attract the attention of others.
"Okay, I'll believe you since you found out about me," Chester said, successfully convincing the people that Radmilo had important information.
The man had exposed the identities of two people in the organization and they were sure it was not a coincidence. Was he an IRO henchman in disguise to destroy them? However, his tone was filled with hatred when he said that he was the number one hater of the IRO.
"That's good." Radmilo then said his plan that would be the last topic of this conversation. "I want to move our base. This place isn't safe anymore."
"What do you mean by that?" Elena was offended that she was the one in charge of headquarters security.
"The IRO has found this place. It's because of you guys who accepted so many people in the organization and couldn't control them properly. I'm sure there are IRO spies among us."
"Things like that always happen. But we always got rid of the spy."
"Then get rid of all the members who are not in this room."
Elena blinked. "Why should we do that?"
"I don't need weak members. Those who aren't here leave because they can't withstand the damage from Enrique's power. Also, the spies could be among them."
"What if the spy turns out to be in this room?"
Radmilo looked at everyone in the room seriously. "It doesn't matter. We'll find out, eventually. However, if the spy is here, then I should advise him to give up. I know you work for Craig from The Awakeners and Hunters Council."
They did not know who Radmilo was talking about. However, they came to know that Craig was a council member at the IRO. They had never heard of anyone named Craig from The Awakeners and Hunters Council.
Nonetheless, one of them knew Craig since he was a spy sent by the IRO. He did not know why Radmilo could find out about it. 'Is that guy a traitor to the IRO?'
Fortunately, he had been trained and did not make any gestures that might arouse suspicion. He must remain calm and should not be in contact with the IRO for some time.
He was afraid that Radmilo would follow him. Even though Radmilo did not look at him suspiciously, he felt as if he knew he was a spy.
"Are you serious about killing everyone outside the room?" Enrique, who had been silent for a long time, raised a question with a doubtful expression.
Radmilo's words made him realize that having many members was not always good. However, he also could not deny that those weak members could help him sometimes.
"If you still want to keep them, then I'll give you a job to control them," said Radmilo, knowing what Enrique was considering. "But I don't want to hear that they made a mistake. Got it?"
Enrique did not want to throw away his members, so he nodded without thinking twice. "That's a simple thing. I'll make sure they don't get into trouble," he said confidently.
"Alright, those people will stay on this island while we move to another place. I want our new base to be in a dungeon. You can do that, right?"
Elena did not answer immediately when Radmilo looked at her. She had the idea of ??making a base in a dungeon, but everyone disagreed because they thought it would be troublesome. They did not want to deal with monsters when came there.
"Sure. I can do it."
People in the room looked irritated that Elena had agreed to Radmilo's crazy request. The organization's headquarters was a place they hung out frequently, and they did not want to deal with powerful monsters every time they came there. However, they had no better reason to refuse Radmilo's request, so they were forced to agree.
