Chapter 05
I stared at the stream of pop-ups flashing in front of me.
Frowning slightly, I even forgot to blink.
The "villain brother" they were talking about must be Jason Quinn—
the man who threatened the stability of this entire world.
And those failed raiders from the past—
that was probably why the system had warned me a thousand times about how dangerous Jason Quinn was.
It had probably considered every possible scenario.
So why did it think someone as mediocre as me could stabilize Jason Quinn and complete this mission?
As I pondered this, the words on the screen suddenly shifted to focus on me.
[But to be honest, what has kept the villain stable all these years isn't any double or raider at all...]
[It's his late wife's son.]
His late wife left him a son.
This boy is the only connection between the villain and the world.
Otherwise, given the madness Jason Quinn displayed in the first few years, he would've destroyed everything—
the world and himself—
and died with his wife.
That's why every raider, without exception, failed.
After all, his late wife was his moonlight.
She was the only place in his heart.
The villain will never allow anyone to defile her, not even with her face or identity.
That's why every imposter met a miserable end.
But what about this one?
[What about this ordinary, unprepared, unimpressive Raider?]
[How long can she last?]
They even placed a bet.
[I bet the next time she encounters the villain... will be her death.]
"I'll bet on that too."
Another emoji popped up, this one with a big, mocking grin—
No, she just had a bad fall.
It's snowing again.
[Whether she survives this is still uncertain...]
