Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World - Chapter 508

Chapter 508: A Request
After settling the terms, Reign joined the group, and together they made their way back into the city.

The press was already there, cameras flashing, reporters shouting questions, and each burst of light seemed to follow their every step as they stood in front of the portal.

His sharp gaze flicked across the crowd, noticing the way the women looked at him—some with wide-eyed admiration, others with shy glances or open smiles.

The attention didn’t go unnoticed by Anna, whose face tightened, her eyes narrowing as they trailed every stare directed his way.

A woman in the front row caught his eye, her lips curving into a flirtatious smile. Reign just looked past her, his expression barely flickering

But he could feel the shift in the air as Anna clenched her fists beside him. Her jaw tightened, and her gaze turned fierce, practically shooting daggers into anyone who dared look at him too long.

“Don’t do it, ” Reign commanded.

If he hadn’t put a gentle but firm hand on her shoulder, she would have acted on the impulse and started massacring everyone.

“We have to travel through several portals before reaching the headquarters in the East,” Elizabeth explained.

“I don’t have a problem with that, but I need to talk to George first,”

“You want to talk to our father?” Anna asked, her eyes lighting up.

‘Our father?’ Reign held back a sigh, barely keeping his face neutral. She was already set on making them a family.

“Yeah, I need a word with George before we leave,” he replied, keeping his tone steady.

“Okay, just don’t take too long,” Anna responded with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with warmth. She was happy knowing that her father and boyfriend shared a close bond.

Reign, on the other hand, couldn’t help but sigh as he walked away.

He wished he could just tell Anna that her idea of their relationship was all in her head.

But judging by her personality, such honesty would only lead to endless trouble.

She was too obsessed with him, and any hint of denial from his part would likely provoke an emotional storm.

Moreover, he had heard that many Demon Gods were quite fond of her talents. That created an additional barrier ; if he were to eliminate her, the backlash would be blow his cover.

When they finally stood facing each other, George scratched his head, looking both relieved and apprehensive.

From what he observed, especially how her daughter act , George was 100 percent sure that the handsome man in front of him was Reign.

It felt strange; he was so accustomed to the monster’s face that he felt more uneasy looking at Reign right now.

“I—” George started, but Reign raised a hand, cutting him off before he could say more.

“Wait,” he said in a low voice.

Without another word, he cast a black dome around them, a shield that enveloped them both and ensured no one could eavesdrop.

“Where are the two?” Reign asked directly, cutting straight to the point.

George sighed, already knowing exactly who he meant.

“They’re gone,” he answered truthfully.

“Gone? What do you mean?” Reign pressed.

“I’m sorry, Reign… but Lilith took them,” George sighed, heavy with regret.

Against Lilith, there was little he could do—or anyone else for that matter.

“Give me more details,” Reign urged, his tone filled with impatience.

“She appeared out of nowhere and took them,” George continued, his expression grave as he saw Reign’s annoyed face.

“She also told me to pass on a message—she won’t kill them, but you have to promise not to cross paths with her.”

“Not cross paths with her?” Reign echoed, disbelief and frustration swirling within him. “That’s her condition? What does she think I’m going to do, just sit idly by while she holds them hostage?”

“That’s the only thing she told me before she vanished with the girls,” George replied.

Reign pondered for a moment, recognizing that George wasn’t at fault. Even if he tried to intervene, he would likely only put himself in danger.

The thing that Reign had to focus on was why Lilith was targeting him. Why had she kidnapped Celine and Cryil?

‘She’s already way stronger than I am, so I don’t see how I pose any threat to her anymore.’

His mind raced as he considered the possibilities.

‘Was it a personal vendetta?’

‘No, that could not be it. If that were the case, she would have directly killed me’

Regardless of her reason, his priority now was to save the two.

This meant that he really needed to join the Alliance, as they were the only ones who had the manpower and resources to find her.

If he depended solely on himself, it could take ages to track down Lilith.

“I’m sorry, Reign,” George apologized again.

“Stop,” Reign interrupted, shaking his head. “This isn’t on you. We both know you’re pretty much useless in a fight. It’s not like you have some hidden power or anything that could save them.”

George could not help but let out a laugh, now convinced that he was really talking to the real deal. Only Reign could compliment and insult him at the same time.

“Just promise me that you won’t tell anyone about those two—for your sake, and for your daughter.” he added.

“Don’t worry, I’m not stupid enough to do that. I know my daughter better than anyone,” George sighed.

“Yeah, she’s crazy,” Reign said, shaking his head slightly.

“I know she’s obsessed with you, Reign, and I realize you might not like her, but please don’t kill her,” George pleaded .

“She just acts like that because she really loves you. I’d bet my life that there’s no one in this world who would love you as much as she does.”

Reign’s expression hardened at the mention of Anna’s feelings.

Even a social outcast like him could see that her love for him were very real.

“I won’t give you a promise, but I’ll try not to hurt her…,”
