Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

"Yeah, that's me," Reign responded, giving her a casual nod.

"Good, I'm Eli, Miss Lilith's contact. We don't have much time, so I'll give you the rundown. Our station spent a lot of money to get this chance.

"My job is just to help you enter the premises. But remember, we can only go as far as the hangar. If you get caught, then we don't know each other. Understand?" she warned .

"I got it," Experience new tales on empire

"Glad that we understand each other. Now wear this jacket, and take off that face mask and sunglasses. You're looking way too suspicious," she instructed, handing him a brown lightweight jacket that has her station logo on it.

"Believe me, I'll look even more suspicious if I take them off. No one's going to buy that I'm just part of the camera crew,"

Reign was fully aware that his features attracted unwanted attention. And he wasn't just saying this to brag; he was too handsome for his own good, and it annoyed him.

Eli crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. "Hey, you're the one asking for favors here, so you'd better follow my orders, or the deal's off,"

'Is she tired of living?' he wondered to himself, her attitude making his fingers twitch with the urge to snap her neck.

Luckily for her, this body could tolerate a lot more than his original one, or she'd already be tasting the pavement with a mouthful of her own blood.

"I'll take it off now," he said, following her orders. It was better for her to see it herself.

As soon as he removed his face mask, she froze, her eyes widening in shock and her mouth dropping open in disbelief.

Too handsome—that was the only thought racing through her mind.

She couldn't believe someone could look this good. Even among her colleagues at the station, no one came close to him. He had the kind of face that would outshine anyone, no matter where he went.

'Is he Miss Lilith's boyfriend?' she mused to herself.

If she were in Lilith's shoes, she wouldn't be able to control herself around someone this attractive.

Reign noticed how speechless she was and couldn't help but feel disappointed by how superficial some women could be.

"P–put it back on. You're right, you're better off hiding your face," she stammered, clearly embarrassed.

If she'd known he was this handsome, she never would've been so strict.

Maybe, she could score a one-night stand and brag about it for the rest of her life. She made a mental note to treat him a little better.

Reign slipped on the jacket. It felt a bit loose on him, but he figured it would do the trick.

With the disguised on, he looked more like a camera crew and less like a super model.

"Let's go," she gestured for him to enter the van.

It was quite spacious, even with about five people inside. He didn't bother to talk to anyone else; he wasn't here to make friends.

As the van drove down the road, the atmosphere grew tense.

Some of the cameramen didn't appreciate Reign's attitude, especially since Eli kept stealing glances at him like a woman in heat.

"Why do we need some random guy tagging along?" a thin looking cameraman in the back whispered. "No offense, man, but it feels like we're risking our necks for nothing."

Reign heard them but didn't bother to react; their opinions were too insignificant for him.

After a while. they reached a security checkpoint where a dozen armed soldiers stood guard.

Each one was equipped with military-grade power armor featuring a green camouflage pattern, blending seamlessly with their surroundings.

They carried powerful automatic rifles, ready for any potential threat.

Eli took a deep breath and rolled down the window.

"Here we go," she handed the gate pass.

The soldier examined it closely, his brow furrowing as he scanned the document.

"Hold on," he said, signaling to a fellow personnel .

They began to double-check the credentials against a clipboard.

Meanwhile, Reign could see several other vans parked in a line behind them, all bearing different station logos, suggesting they weren't the only ones gaining access to the airship.

"I thought you paid a lot for exclusivity, but whoever took the money seems to have other plans in mind," he commented, finding the whole situation amusing.

Humans and their greed never failed to entertain him.

Eli shot him an irritated glance, but her lips twitched to forced a smile

"Trust me, it's all a part of the game. You'd be surprised how quickly loyalty shifts when more cash is thrown into the mix."

"Are you saying that you're gonna betray Lilith if someone offered you more money?"

Eli smirked, "Not necessarily. But let's be honest, loyalty isn't exactly a strong suit in this industry. Everyone has their price, including me. The difference is that I know what I want, and it's not just cash."

"Interesting, at least you're honest," he nodded in approval.

He didn't dislike this type of people—those who didn't shy away from speaking their minds.

After two minutes, the soldier returned.

"Alright, you're clear to enter," He handed back the pass.

"Just remember, no wandering off."

"Don't worry, we're professionals," Eli replied casually.

She didn't look nervous at all; it seemed this wasn't her rodeo.

They drove past the checkpoint, the massive airship looming larger ahead as they got closer.

Its colossal structure towered over them, casting a shadow that swallowed the van whole.

The sheer scale was breathtaking, with towering structures and massive docking bays that stretched endlessly before them.

Each docking bay was filled with various vehicles and machinery, all meticulously organized.

Even Reign wouldn't be surprised if it suddenly released giant flying robots into the sky.

It was more than just an airship—it was a literal fortress, a small city that could fly through advance engineering.

'This is nice; at least I'll get to enjoy seeing this before I completely obliterate the whole thing,' he let out a soft laugh under his breath.
