An Extra’s POV

Adonis was strong.

He was extremely intelligent, handsome, charismatic, and most of all… he was kind.

He had the qualities of a good leader, and he was easily the perfect leader of the Otherworlders.

"Not for long, though. Hehehe…" Adam chuckled as he imagined punching out Adonis' perfect white teeth.

The silhouette before him nodded.

"Killing him won't be easy, but I have just the thing for it."

"H-hold on… killing? We're killing him?"

Adam was shocked to hear all of this. When he heard the word "eliminate", he simply thought they would remove him from the position of leader.

… Sort of like a social sabotage or something of that nature.

"Oh? Are you scared?" As soon as he heard the voice, Adam stiffened.

He could sense some measure of condescension, and he didn't like it one bit.

"No! Of course not. I just thought you meant it the same way 'destroying someone' could mean ruining their reputation."

He wasn't a softie or anything!

'I'll do anything for my goals. As long as it is necessary…'

"Is killing Adonis really necessary, though" Adam asked with a raised brow.

"Yes, it is. And killing him now, while he still has a low Level, is the best time."

Adam already knew it would be difficult to compete with Adonis with the way things currently stood.

Adonis was perfection itself, while he had fallen from Grace in a lot of ways.

'I guess I have no other choice, huh?'

"Once you kill him, you'll be able to get his EXP, but I have a special Item that can allow you to convert the EXP into specific forms of power."

As Adam heard this, his ears perked up.

"S-specific forms of power…?"

"Yes. Like Class or Skills."

"You mean…"

"Yes. You can obtain Adonis' Hero Class, or even get his Skills."

Adam's eyes widened as soon as he heard this. He didn't realize it when his teeth were already being displayed as a sign of excitement.

"Now do you see why he has to die?"

"I do indeed! He'll be a stepping stone for my rise to power!"

Adam started to chuckle, and then began to laugh so hard that his throat hurt and he coughed.
