DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

Joshua\'s fist burst into flames as he rushed forward at Davies in anger, but before he could even cover half the distance between them, a wall of ice suddenly formed up in his path, effectively barring him from moving forward.

"Don\'t forget where you are, Joshua," Davies, breathed out white mist from his mouth as he said this, his right hand stretching forward and covered in blue-colored mana.

"Don\'t give me that crap!" Joshua said through gritted teeth,

"Father sent me here to make sure that you attend the family meeting, and I will make sure of that, even if I have to drag you there with you kicking and screaming."

"Drag me there?" Davies asks with a raised eyebrow and a look of total bewilderment.

"Are you getting scared now?" Joshua asked smugly as he thought Davies was scared of him.

"What happened to all your attitude?" Joshua added as a smirk appeared on his face, the flames around his fists beginning to burn more brightly and fiercer as he used more mana, he was obviously enjoying intimidating Davies, or at least he thought he was.

Davies on the other hand was looking at this idiot standing in front of him and wondering, \'He\'s annoying… should I just kill him?\'

[Maybe… he is annoyingly loud] Miya responded,

[But it may be better to go with him and just deal with this kind of matter now instead of having it become more annoying later]

\'True… I don\'t really have anything to do right now,\' he thought and then looked at Lee Jung who was hiding behind the car, \'dealing with this idiot right now is impossible anyways.\'

"Are you so scared you became mute?" Joshua asked domineeringly as he saw Davies not replying to his threats.

"The only way I\'d be scared of you, was if I was some harmless puppy, but even then, I wouldn\'t be bothered by your insignificance," Davies responded clearly.

Veins bulged out of Joshua\'s head in anger as he roared,

"YOU BA…"

"Zip it,"

Davies snapped his fingers and ice instantaneously formed over Joshua\'s mouth, effectively shutting him up.

"You don\'t have to shout like a barbarian, alright… I get your point, you hate me and would like to shove my ice down my throat while giving me the beating of my life,"

"But try to have a brain before attempting all of that," Davies said soothingly with a cultured tone, but his words were not soothing at all.

The ice on Joshua\'s mouth melted off quickly, turning to steam immediately it melted.

"Oops, careful you don\'t melt off your brain… or whatever little is left of it… if you ever had any in the first place," Davies called out when he noticed what Joshua was doing.

Davies\'s words continually shot arrows into Joshua and at this moment he was about to explode in anger, ready to attack him, no longer giving a damn about his father\'s orders to bring him along without any friction, but Davies\'s next words brought him back to his senses a little.

"Alright, alright, don\'t get your pants in a twist, I\'ll be coming along."

"Huh???" Joshua couldn\'t believe what he was hearing. If Davies was going to go agree this easily to go to the family meeting, then why did he need to annoy him all this while?

"Didn\'t you hear me the first time, I guess you really did melt the rest of your brain cells earlier… I said I would be coming to the family meeting, so do your job as a trusty messenger and go tell my uncle that I\'ll be there in a while," Davies repeated himself, not forgetting to throw in more insults.

"Don\'t kill him, don\'t kill him, don\'t kill him, don\'t kill him…" Joshua began to mumble under his breath as if he was chanting some mantra to control his anger.

"Are you actually praying? … by the gods, do you actually need to pray before you can decide what to do since you don\'t have a brain?" Davies asked with a questioning tone as if intrigued by his behavior.

"FIRE FIST!!!"

Joshua snapped and sent a wave of fire at Davies, swallowing the wall of ice in his path in a split second and still moving at high speed toward Davies. Davies though had expected him to snap long ago and easily maneuvered his ice to aid his movement, sliding out of the way of the attack.

The flame of wave continued in its path, completely unbarred until it collided with Davies\'s Plexus LFA that was parked and blew up the car.

*BOOM*

Joshua turned around, his anger all but extinguished, and left the place before Davies annoyed him even further, enough for him to lose all reasoning and get into a full-fledged fight. He got into his car and quickly zoomed off, not bothering with all the attention gathered from the ruckus he had caused.

"What a lousy fellow," Davies commented as he watched him leave, but then he sensed Daniel\'s mana being activated as a bright golden glow began to shine around his body.

"What are you doing?" Davies asked.

"Going after him?" Daniel quickly responded and was about to charge after Joshua\'s car,

"Don\'t bother," Davies suddenly said,

"But he attacked you? As your bodyguard, I can\'t just let tha…" Daniel protested.

"I said... don\'t bother," Davies repeated himself, his voice borderline cold, seemingly a bit angered.

Davies turned back to his exploded car, seeing it swallowed by flames, "I really liked this car though…" he said with a sad tone and then turned to Lee Jung who had been thrown a bit aback by the force of the explosion of the car as he was quite close to the car when it exploded.

"Hey, you… You\'re fired," Davies said to Lee Jung who was still coughing from the smoke.

"Huh… why?" Lee Jung asked with a surprised voice.

"Why?" Davies asked like it was the most stupid thing he had heard today,

"You\'re the valet that was entrusted with my car and now look at it?"

"My car is gone, destroyed, blown up like a bubble gum… what else do I need to make clear," Davies stated.

"But… but that\'s unreasonable, your car was blown up by that red-headed Mega!!! How is it my fault that the car was destroyed!!!" Lee Jung shouted.

"Well, you could have driven it somewhere else, or better yet, you could have protected my car with your body, at least that way you\'d get a good burial and be known as the person who protected the genius\'s car," Davies said like it was a matter of fact.

"But even a Mega like you had to get out of the way of the fire!!! How could I have stopped the car from being destroyed!!!???" Lee Jung cried out.

"What is it with all the stupid people I keep on meeting today," Davies sighed as he facepalmed,

" Like I just said… protect the car with your body and at least you can be of a little use, vermin!" Davies said, his voice cold, his eyes devoid of emotion, and his cold mana flowing out, scaring the living daylights out of Lee Jung.

"But you can just buy another car," Lee Jung still managed to say.

"That doesn\'t change the fact that you\'re still fired," Davies responded quickly and then turned around, beginning to walk away, leaving a dumbfounded Lee Jung still sitting on the floor.

"Ahh… before I forget, don\'t bother with severance pay, you don\'t have any… I would probably use it to feed a few homeless dogs as I don\'t have a habit of paying useless people."

"Nice talk…" Davies concluded and walked back towards Daniel. Lee Jung looked at his back as his mood changed continuously, from confusion to resignation, to non-acceptance, and finally to rage.

\'This bastard!!! Just because he was born into a good family and with good talent, he\'s probably never had to suffer his whole life,\' He raged internally. If Davies knew what he was thinking right now, he\'d cough out blood in anger,

What good family? … they killed his parents,

What talent? … the kind of work he had to do to reach where he was, was totally unimaginable,

As for never suffering his whole life… let\'s not even mention that because nobody could cope with the things, he has gone through in all of his lives and stay sane, as even he didn\'t stay sane.

[You weren\'t kidding when you said you were good at making enemies…] Miya said in astonishment, as she had watched all of Davies\'s actions.

\'Hey, it\'s not my fault that those guys can\'t tolerate a joke or two,\' Davies scoffed.

[If that was a joke to you, then I can see why those protagonists you met in the past made sure to kill you in the worst way possible]

\'Ouch… Am I really that bad of a person to you?\' Davies asked with a mock sob.

[Yes!]

\'Hahaha… those things don\'t matter now,\' Davies laughed lightly as he neared Daniel.

"Prepare another car, let\'s go see what the Lake family has to say…"
