Do I Have To Be The Villain?

'Do I Have To be The Villain?' Lei, now Zhao Laohu, couldn't help but ask himself that question on numerous occasions. Cultivation and the pursuit of Martial Arts are the only ways of getting stronger in the World he was Reincarnated in. After taking over the Young Master's body, a new life begins, completely different from the previous one. Fortunately for him, the System given to him by the Goddess allows him to grow stronger and purchase powerful techniques by expending Villain Points gained by performing evil acts. Unfortunately for him, the System shackles his growth when it comes to the traditional ways of Cultivation and training. 'Enemies are coming for me because of what this Zhao Laohu did in the past. I need to grow stronger to survive but... To do this, I must rely on the System and commit evil... Which will, in turn, give birth to more enemies aiming for my neck.' Indeed, a conundrum. And that's without even counting the Hero destined to end the Villain's life. 'Tsk. Once again, I can't help but ask myself...' Do I Have To Be The Villain? Watch a master manipulator, actor, and liar do everything in his power and use everything he can as tools, whether foes or allies, for the sake of his goal.

Hougo, I

"Did the Flamboyant boys send you?"

"Ha!" The Servant chuckled as he pulled out something from his pocket. "That's right."

"Mm." Zhao nodded. "No use hiding it if you're dying, right?"

"I only get paid upon job completion, you see?" 

Hougo raised his left hand, revealing his weapons!

"Needles…?" Zhao muttered as Hougo raised his weapons. "Poisoned, I assume. Since you're an assassin."

No answer was given.

'Guess he's done talking. There won't be any running away either. He's already sold his employers, so it's either my death or his… Except if he just went along with what I said, which I doubt-'

Three metallic needles were thrown at Zhao. They pierced through the air like arrows, aiming at his heart.

But the Young Master managed to dodge fairly easily.
