Disillusioned by a life of injustice and unrewarded good deeds, he vows to live for his own satisfaction. Armed with the Greatest Villain System—a golden finger that promises to make him the most feared villain in history—Maximilian sets out to embrace his dark side.

Third Mission: Beat up a famous hero.
A detective hero praises him for exposing a criminal’s crimes.

Strauss sat in his personal office, staring at the screen in front of him. It displayed footage sent by the observation team he had assigned to monitor Maximilian.

The screen showed Ricardo and his gang entering Maximilian's house, and just two days later, emerging completely transformed—buffed, full of muscle, and walking with the unmistakable posture of trained martial artists.

In just two days, these people had gained physiques and skills that would normally take at least a year or two to develop. There was no way that kind of transformation could happen without the help of alien tech or some kind of experimental equipment.
