Your Not So Ordinary Villain

The butler looked at the men indifferently. He stood there in front of his master as his bodyguard because he was concerned that the master might make a mess again.

"I\'m afraid, I can\'t let you touch my master. If you want to keep your life, you better leave now. This is for your own safety and this will be my one and only warning," he spoke in a calm tone with both his hands behind his back.

The gang members laughed because they were confident with their skills and numbers. Two versus twenty strong men would not be easy. They would be immediately overwhelmed.

The gang member who spoke earlier, presumably the leader, scoffed at the butler\'s words. He didn\'t believe any of the words from the man. They were outnumbered and out weaponed.

"You should listen to my butler," Cygnus spoke from behind Mr. C. "He is already giving you a warning and I doubt that you can be a match against Mr. C," he continued.

Mr. C looked behind and looked at his master with a slight frown but Cygnus only smiled towards him. On the other hand, this statement only made them angrier because it was as if mocking them. The leader of the gang signaled for his men to attack.

The men in front targeted the butler while the ones who were at the back attacked Cygnus who appeared vulnerable with no one to watch his back. Mr. C evaded and tripped the people who were attacking him and before the weapons could land on Cygnus he moved towards the back and disabled them.

His movements were fast and precise as he hit at the exact point where the attackers would hurt the most. The butler hit their wrists to disarm them then he hit their joints and vulnerable points to leave them unable to move. After making sure that the people who wanted to hurt the master were lying on the ground, he pushed back Cygnus as he faced the remaining robbers.

"Don\'t let them get away!" The boss also joined the fray and together they attacked Mr. C.

Cygnus was left to watch from the side as Mr. C used his skill to avoid the weapons that were aimed towards him. There were at least fifteen more people left and he did not want the master to wait for him. His other hand that he kept behind him was finally free.

One of the robbers tried to sneak an attack on the butler but Mr. C stretched back his feet as he slightly bowed with his right hand pulled back and when the man\'s weapon was about to make contact with his body, he released the palm that was waiting for the enemy. The butler\'s right palm connected with the enemy and in the blink of an eye he was already flying away.

The force of that palm was enough to destroy a thick wall so letting it land on a person only meant that that person wouldn\'t be able to survive. This attack stopped the others from approaching but it did not completely deter them. Mr. C disappeared from where he was standing as he appeared beside one of the stupefied men.

The same palm connected with the bodies of the remaining robbers plus the speed of lightning that the butler possessed, they were clearly no match for him. One by one they fell down and the leader doesn\'t even know if his subordinates were still alive.

After the butler took down the last one, he stood up and stared at the leader who was now trembling in fear. He slowly walked towards him which added to the impact of intimidation from how he finished all of the leader\'s men.

Each step that he took made the leader shudder which only froze him in place. He could feel his body stiffening and no matter how he commanded himself to run, he could not. Mr. C finally reached the man and with one hand, he lifted the enemy.

"Master, what do you want me to do with him?" The warmth that can be felt from the butler\'s normal voice was gone and it was replaced with a mechanical tone that came from that of a robot.

He looked to the man whom he regarded as his master as blue lines appeared on the left side of his face and the whites of his eyes turned pure black with a silver pupil. Cygnus stared at the face he hadn\'t seen for a long time now.

"Just dispose of him since I have no use for a person like him." The master waved his hand and just like that the butler killed the leader without any arguments. "You know it\'s a bit refreshing to see that appearance of you once in a while."

The butler flicked his left hand on the side to remove the blood that got to his gloves and his sleeves. He faced the master as the lines on his face slowly receded towards his nape and his eyes returned to its normal state.

"I only enter that state whenever I am protecting you but most of the time you deal with them yourselves so I don\'t have many opportunities to use my skills," the butler answered. It sounded like a complaint even though he was only stating the facts.

"I\'ll give you more time and opportunities to show how badass you are in the future so you don\'t have to sulk," the master laughed. He was the most mature thinker within his group maybe because of his identity but sometimes he was acting like a child.

"I\'ll be looking forward to it then master," he gave a slight bow, "what should we do with this mess then?" He looked at the mess he left with a slight frown. He couldn\'t use magic so he couldn\'t use it to remove all the bodies at once.

"I\'ll take care of it besides I have hungry things waiting to be fed in that place," Cygnus smirked.

He raised his hands and clapped them then dark holes appeared below each body that laid on the ground. Black gooey tendrils came out of the dark holes and attached themselves to the bodies. When they got a hold of them, then they slowly pulled them inside the dark hole that led to an unknown place.

"Wil you be really opening a shop in this area?" Mr. C asked him again just to make sure. He knew that the master loved this kinds of places but to open a business in that kind of place was out of the question.

"Yes, of course. I can\'t pass up the opportunity to establish a branch in a place where I can easily use negative energy as a source of my power and besides this place is where we can meet unusual people who are willing to do anything for their goal. Besides, this is not the only shop I\'m opening." He raised his head and looked at the direction of the prosperous side of the city. "I\'ll be opening there too."

After that short interval, they left the place and returned to the manor to plan for their next move. During this time, Cygnus instructed the butler to find a place for the other shop they would be opening and to prepare whatever they would need.

"What kind of shop are you planning to open?" Linius asked after he learned that the master went out to look for good locations.

"Oh, just a bakeshop. The one I have in Moonvale was destroyed so when we decided to come to the capital, I also intended to establish my bakeshop in this place." Cygnus proudly answered, then he hummed to himself because of how pleased he was.

Linius on the other hand couldn\'t help but raise a brow, he didn\'t expect the master to be planning on opening a bakeshop. It was very far from the image that the major was thinking. He thought that he would at least enter the world of trade but he was mistaken. You can\'t simply judge a person by their appearance and actions.
