I'm a villain, not a devil

The guards came over, and the others carefully moved away from Illya.

"What did Illya do wrong?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Need I say more? Her sister was arrested that day, and she brought people to make trouble. Although the city lord's forces were all killed, before he died, the city lord also represented the face of Paradise City." Someone answered.

The scarred man pricked up his ears and listened to the discussions of the people around him, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

This girl actually has such an identity... Then wasn't everything I did before also to help Paradise City?

The discussions among the people around continued.

"Haven't you heard? The cleansing of the city is still going on. After all, there are so many people. I'm afraid Illya has also been remembered."

"That's right. Mr. Sean is not a reasonable person. He doesn't care whether you are against the city lord or on his side. If you break his rules, you must die."

"But then again, why wasn't Elijah's sister Eliza arrested?"

"We are working, who knows if Eliza has been caught? I think Eliza can't escape...Mr. Sean is too unreasonable...The mayor was killed to establish his authority, and the candidates will probably have to kill some people to establish their authority."

"Or else he's a tyrant... Hey, tell me, if we do something, can we get some attention?"

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, the scarred man's eyes became brighter.

He is quite capable and can find a position anywhere. He has been worrying about how to get in touch with Jin Gui. Now it seems that he has a chance, right?

Seeing the guard approaching, the scarred man suddenly gained courage and shouted, "Fugitive Illya, I've been looking for you for a long time. Let's see how you can escape this time!!"

After saying that, he raised the weapon in his hand and pointed the back of the knife at Illya, intending to directly destroy the opponent's ability to move.

As long as you catch the eye of the Golden Ghost, isn't it much more enjoyable than moving corpses? !

A hideous smile flashed across the scarred man's face, as if he had seen the glorious moment of joining the Golden Ghost.

However, just as he leaped up, his vision suddenly went dark!

"Gala——"

A sharp sound of broken bones was heard along with endless pain. He only felt that he was hit by a huge force, and all the bones in his body were broken. Then he flew backwards!

who? !

He fell heavily to the ground and could only use his blurry vision to search for the person who attacked him.

In the hazy vision, the scarred man saw Sean's personal guard.

Why is it him? !

"W-why..." said the scarred man in disbelief.

The guard looked at him strangely and said speechlessly: "Who the hell are you?"

"I, I..." The scarred man had all the bones broken and couldn't even speak clearly.

Illya, who had lost all hope, opened her mouth in shock when she saw this scene.

To the royal guards, this guy who barely resembled a king was just a piece of trash that could be dealt with with a flick of the finger. After kicking him away, he turned to Illya without even a glance at him.

"You are Illya, right?"

Illya's throat moved with difficulty a few times, and she nodded stiffly.

The guard looked at the corpses around him and said helplessly, "I went to the residential area to look for you for a long time, but you ended up bringing corpses here..."

"Is there something wrong..." Illya took a deep breath and made countless bad plans.

The guard took out a mutated scorpion tail from behind him, then lifted it up and shook it in front of Illya.

"The boss said, you must know this."

Do you know this? Boss? Why are you showing me the scorpion's tail?

His boss...is Sean?

Scorpion tail?

Sean…

A bunch of words rushed into Illya's mind, making her see stars, but all of this seemed to point to the most unlikely possibility.

She stammered, pointing at the scorpion's tail, then at herself: "Is it, is it him?"

The guard nodded and threw the scorpion tail to her.

"The boss asked me to ask you, do you want to be the city lord?"

City Lord? Illya felt like her brain was going to shut down.

Everyone around them also felt that they were dreaming.

The scarred man, who was lying on the ground with only his last breath left, shed a tear from his eye - City Lord? The one I just hit was the future City Lord?

Seeing Illya in a daze, the guard asked in confusion: "You don't want to? Then I'm leaving."

Illya didn't react to anything else, but after hearing the last sentence, she almost subconsciously uttered: "No, that's not what I meant!"

The guard nodded: "Does that mean you agree? Fine, I'll be leaving now. It's getting late. Remember to go to the city tomorrow morning. Big Brother wants to see you in person."

"what?"

Illya stared at the other person blankly. Is she the city lord?

But before she could ask more questions, the guard happily returned to the aircraft and flew off the ground in the blink of an eye.

All that was left were countless corpses of people who had been dead for several days and a large group of people standing there in a daze.

Illya looked at the scorpion tail in her hand, her mind going blank.

That Sean... this Sean... two Seans... no, actually one Sean.

She swallowed hard. The person she had so carelessly recruited was... the tyrant of Paradise City, Sean? !

The aircraft had already flown away, and the people who had been whispering finally dared to speak louder.

"City Lord! Illya is the City Lord!"

"She knows... knows that Mr. Sean!"

"I knew it. Illya was not afraid of power and had the courage to fight. Now she is finally appreciated, right?!"

"This is incredible! There's a city lord among our candidates!"

"Hey, tell me, if we do something, can we get some attention?"

The scarred man with broken bones all over his body listened to people's discussions and flattery, shed his last tear, and closed his eyes forever with great regret.

You guys... didn't you say that before...

……

Early in the morning, in the City Lord's Mansion, Illya, who had changed into her best and newest clothes, stood awkwardly in the hall.

Until now, she was still in a daze. Last night, she couldn't count how many people came to please her, and her sister also told her a lot of things to pay attention to.

But she remembered nothing and just drifted into the city.

Not until she stood here did she feel a sense of reality - she became the city lord for no reason just because she recruited the disguised Sean.

When she heard footsteps, she immediately tensed up and looked over nervously.

Sure enough...it was that Sean!

Seeing that the other person was about to faint, Sean walked over, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Relax."

His attitude finally calmed Illya down a little. After a moment's hesitation, she knelt on one knee and said, "Illya meets Mr. Sean."

Sean waved his hand casually: "Don't be nervous, I know you've thought a lot and want to ask me why. After all, just one encounter shouldn't make you the city lord, right?"

Illya nodded heavily.

Sean clapped his hands, and two people came out from the side hall.

One was the first girl who trusted Sean and exchanged the entry qualification from him that day, and the other was the old man who persuaded Sean to be a gigolo that day.

The two were stronger than Illya, but they still looked terrified.

Sean waved his hand and a stool flew under the buttocks of several people. After half of their buttocks rubbed against it, Sean spoke.

"Okay, don't think too much about it. I just like you. You are right. I am here to be your puppet."

For some reason, even when they heard that they were going to be puppets, they still breathed a sigh of relief.

Sean narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What you need to do is very simple, be obedient and don't betray my trust, otherwise, you will die - simple, right?"
