The Villain’s White Lotus Halo - Chapter 38 - Discerning Eye

Ernest Quelt, the alchemist renowned for his unparalleled mastery of alchemy, has perished.But his death wasn't a noble sacrifice in battle, nor the result of a failed expedition—it was a betrayal. The very comrades he trusted most turned on him, driven by envy of his growing power.Yet fate wasn’t entirely cruel. With his final breath, Ernest's gaze fell upon the tube that contained his greatest achievement: a perfect artificial being known as the Homunculus.More than just a vessel resembling a human, this creation harbored the power of a catastrophic beast—one that had once nearly brought the world to ruin.

“...is that the end for me?”His eyes closed, accepting his fate. He thought it was the end. However, it was not.When Liam awoke from the endless darkness, he found himself in a world much different from his own―and in a body that was unfamiliar.“...[ The Golden Hero ] This is...”It seemed that he was given another chance at life. No longer as Liam, but as Rowen, a character from a novel.But, there was a slight problem.Rowen was a villain. A secondary villain at that.His fate was to be manipulated by the antagonist and killed by the hero.It was a tragedy. What could he possibly do?Of course, not wanting to let fate decide for him again, he took up his arms, stopping at nothing to prevent his tragic death.He had to survive in a cruel world where fate was not in his favour.If it meant killing the protagonist, the crown prince or even the main villain; he would do so.All so that he could live the life he wants.

1946

Peggy Carter walked to the Brooklyn Bridge and poured Captain America’s blood sample under the bridge with her own hands. “Goodbye, dear.” A woman’s voice suddenly sounded beside her, as if it had come out of nowhere. “He will come back.” At this time, Carter’s face was full of tears, and he looked at the woman in black with a black hat in his pocket very puzzled, “Ha, I’m sorry to scare you suddenly. Seeing what you said Yes, I just want to persuade you.” After finishing speaking, he looked towards the bridge and looked at the sea view in the distance. Carter, who was very vigilant, felt relieved after hearing such an explanation, wiped away his tears, and wanted to leave. “I have a friend ……” The mysterious woman suddenly said another word, interrupting Carter, which made her feel uneasy.

“I have a friend who wants me to tell you that I look forward to meeting you.” As she said that, Peggy’s uneasiness increased by three points, and she quietly touched the hidden gun.

“In the future, live well…”

“Who are you!”

The mysterious woman ignored Peggy Carter and immediately turned around. Peggy was anxious and immediately drew out her gun.

The woman took out her hand from her pocket, and there were six gemstones of different colors inlaid in her hand, clenched into a fist. The mysterious woman disappeared in front of Peggy’s eyes, but the last words “for the captain” still linger in Peggy’s ears.
