Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Her expression was serious, and Ais frowned.

In front of them, Bete stood clearly next to Valletta.

*Clang!*

The sound of a metal collision echoed through the passage.

Bete took the initiative to block Ais's attack on Valletta, but even so, he was pushed away by Ais's strength.

However, Ais didn't continue her attack and scrutinized her gaze at Bete.

"So what if I am here?"

There was no wavering on his face, just an obvious sneer.

Ais was silent. She wasn't good with words and didn't know what to say at that moment.

"Bete, do you know what you're doing?"

Tsukasa squinted his eyes, focusing on Bete's every move.

"Stop lecturing me!"

Bete glared at Tsukasa with disgust in his eyes.

"Among the people in the Loki Familia, I hate you the most! Don't pretend that we're friends, bastard!"

Tsukasa could only shrug his shoulders. This character was, without a doubt Bete himself, and this guy wasn't a copy, a clone, or someone who tried to disguise as Bete.

Still, Bete's actions to protect Valletta confused him.

'Did this guy fall for this woman?'

While Valletta's smokey makeup was quite strange, she was still a "quite" beautiful woman.

'Bete, I don't expect you...'

While Tsukasa let out a helpless sigh, Bete's anger increased even more.

"Did you betray us, Bete?"

Ais suddenly cut in before Bete was able to say something.

"I always thought that you were a good person. You might have a bad personality and a fool's mouth, but I never expected you to be this kind of person. You have decided to betray everyone to the Evilus who had almost killed Line and everyone, made Tsukasa lose his left arm and even protected Valletta this time.

"This time... you let me down."

"Hmph! I don't care, even if you are disappointed. You doll princess!"

Bete's eyes twitched several times, and he seemed to be hurt by Ais's words. However, his mouth didn't stop and mocked her relentlessly.

*Baam!!*

The sound of the gate opening was heard.

When the two were arguing, Valletta quickly ran away.

Ais's eyes turned cold, and she immediately charged forward, stabbing her sword!

But suddenly, a silver boot kicked over from the corner of her field of vision, forcing her to withdraw her sword and block.

After a brief fight, Ais took two steps back.

Valletta jumped into the next passage next to her and disappeared.

"Bete!"

Ais glared at the werewolf.

"Hmph!"

Bete snorted coldly.

Immediately, he quickly followed Valletta, who had run away.

"Wait a minute, Ais! Stop chasing."

Ais wanted to catch them up but was suddenly stopped by Tsukasa. She was hugged so suddenly. While her heart was beating so fast and nervous, she still asked this question subconsciously. She still recalled the time he used her sword to cut his arm and at how he had lost consciousness for the past three days.

Ais couldn't forgive the Evilus!

"You don't need to."

Tsukasa stepped forward and picked up something from the ground.

"There might be another trap in front of us, and we should gather together. You might lose everything if you focus too much on one thing."

Ais finally woke up.

She was angry by Bete's betrayal and almost forgot that Alicia and the others were still waiting at the end of the passage on the other side.

"What is that?"

After she regained her sense, she reluctantly suppressed her anger and looked at the thing in his hand.

"Here."

Tsukasa gave the book in his hand to Ais.

"Daedalus note...?"

The book was relatively thin, but it was full of handwritten words, and it seemed more than one person had used it.

"This is...?!"

Ais was startled! 

Tsukasa turned around with a warm smile on his face.

"Looks like we have gotten a bonus on this trip."

---

On the other side, Valletta jumped into the passage next to her, and soon a black cloak came over with an elixir to connect her cut arm. When her arm was connected, she sighed in relief, but suddenly she became alert.

"Who?!"

A man walked into the passage.

"So it's you. Don't surprise me like that, bastard."

The man who walked in was Bete.

Valletta relaxed her vigilance when she saw his figure. When she thought about what had happened before and how Bete had helped her to escape, she believed in him.

If he was really an undercover agent, the three of them could have killed her just now.

"Your plan failed."

Bete snorted coldly.

"I know! You don't need to remind me!"

Her mood wasn't good and even horrible since her plan had failed.

"Dammit, bastard, Finn! It's not enough to kill those four! Next time, I am going to kill the executives too!"

Her eyes were full of hatred.

Valletta joined Thanatos to get vengeance against Finn. After all, as long as she could have her revenge against Finn, she was willing to do anything.

"Four?"

Bete was confused.

"Ah, didn't I tell you?"

Valletta laughed suddenly, and her smile was abnormally twisted. Her originally not-so-beautiful face became horrible.

"Last time, I met a team of four when I was trying to hunt Finn in a man-made dungeon."

Bete's eyes froze.

"Oh, I was so happy at that time! That girl who knows how to heal is desperately trying to save her comrades, and she doesn't even care about having several cursed daggers stuck on her body. Oh, maybe she knew that she was going to die, so she wanted her comrade to die while running away? Who knows? Well, they would end up dying anything, hahaha! It's wonderful, right? Did Finn know how they died?"

Her face was flushed with pleasure. Her eyes were crazy filled with morbid ecstasy. She was a complete pervert.

Her heart was filled with a hatred that couldn't be erased, and she didn't care about the methods as long as she could see the despair on Finn's face!

She was completely immersed in the joy and didn't feel the swirling killing intent surging in the eyes of the werewolf behind her.

Fortunately, the four of them didn't die because of Tsukasa.

However, the thought of this woman playing with the lives of the four made him almost snap this woman's neck.

"...I am going back."

Bete gave a disinterested response and turned away.

"Tsk, how boring."

Valletta muttered unhappily before she followed him.

The two walked up toward a certain passage, and after they had walked several stairs in a row, they came to the core area of the man-made dungeon.

"You can come in now."

Valletta held Bete, who was about to leave, leading him to the core area.

Bete's eyes flickered slightly.

The gate slowly opened before his eyes.

Immediately after, the most important area of this man-made dungeon appeared before his eyes.

A huge and dimly lit room was right in front of him.

Inside, there was a beautiful male god with long hair and the master of this place with dark circles under his eyes.

"The red-haired woman isn't here?"

Bete was quite puzzled.

"Welcome to the new member!"

Thanatos clapped his hands exaggeratedly with a warm smile on his face.

"Loki Familia might have escaped, but it is good news that we have a new member!"

Barca stood in front of the wooden machination and glanced in Bete's direction like it was an accident.

Bete met his eyes.

After eye contact for a moment, the two looked away as if nothing had happened.

'It looks like my application has been sent out.'

Barca was so excited!
