DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

"I dare you to take one more ste-" Davies began, but,

*STEP*

Davies hadn't finished speaking when Lee Jung took another step with a provocative smile on his face. The sound of his foot on the floor as he took the step was deafening for some reason.

[Ah, shit]

The moment Lee Jung took the step, Davies stopped speaking and the murderous aura coming him immediately stopped flowing, as if he was surprised and in shock that Lee Jung was able to move, but before the people around could regain control of their locomotive abilities, an even greater burst of murderous aura shot out of Davies and this time even Lee Jung was frozen in fear at the murderous aura flowing off of Davies.

['This idiot!!!'] Miya cursed internally after seeing Lee Jung pushing the red button known as Davies Lake.

Others may not know how volatile Davies was when it came to situations like this, but how could she not know, she had been stuck with him for almost two decades now and knew almost everything there was to know about him, and from her experiences with him, she could sense a storm coming… a bloody one.

Normally she'd let him go on his rampages as it was no concern of hers, especially as she couldn't stop him anyway, but she couldn't do that this time.

He couldn't afford to directly target Lee Jung's life right now as it went against their goals and more importantly, it would result in repercussions that he probably wouldn't be able to cope with.

After spending almost two decades with him, she had come to like this annoying and heartless scallywag known as Davies Lake, and she'd do her best to prevent him from doing something that would bring momentary pleasure but was undoubtedly a stupid move in the long run.

She quickly gathered her thoughts and tried to look for ways to dissuade him, but in the end, the words that came out of her mouth were,

[Don't kill that idiot!]

[He's worthless and not worth staining your hands] Miya shouted in his head.

'I'm not gonna kill him,'

'I'm just gonna take a leg, or an arm… or his dick,' Davies replied with a cold and devious smile as he raised his arm, ready to call down the ice projectiles and turn Lee Jung into a dickless porcupine.

[That's even worse. You can't afford to let him live if you do something like that to him, or his plot armor will only get stronger and he'll come back for revenge]

[You yourself said you can't afford to leave an enemy alive, especially a wounded one] Miya quickly retorted, still doing her best to dissuade Davies from just killing the provocative idiot known as Lee Jung.

It seemed that her words had managed to get through to Davies this time as his movements froze, his hand no longer coming down, as he seemed to reconsider the situation.

[Don't you think it's better to kill someone like him just when he is mere moments from his peak] Miya's voice came again to Davies like the whisper of his inner demon, reminding him of his deepest, darkest desire which was to humiliate, torture and kill his enemies(fated protagonists and whoever sent him here) in the worst way possible.

For a second, Davies's murderous intent at Lee Jung almost disappeared,

'It would indeed be more fun to wait for him to almost reach his peak and then slowly take away everything he has from him, before then subjecting him to a fate worse than death and letting him see hell on earth before finally killing him,' Davies thought.

He was still contemplating it when he suddenly felt hands from different two different directions grab him tightly. Tisha and Daniel had ended up grabbing him tighter when they could no longer cope with the murderous aura he was releasing, especially as they were standing right beside him,

'Oh, there were people here,' It was at this point that Davies remembered that he wasn't alone right now.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back. He didn't care much about the normal civilians, hell he didn't even care about the Men in Black, but he did slightly care about Daniel and also did not want to mutilate another human being in front of Tisha and on their first date at that.

Immediately, he withdrew his murderous aura with practiced ease, making it seem like it was never there in the first place and immediately, collective gasps for breath from every direction filled the air.

Some people even fell to the ground as they could no longer carry their own weight, while still gasping for breath.

Davies's eyes fell upon Lee Jung who was not among the ones that had fallen while gasping for breath, but his flushed face and heavy breathing gave away his obvious discomfort even though he was trying to mask it as much as possible.

'Is there really only one way to kill a fated protagonist without any repercussions?' Davies wondered annoyedly as he looked at Lee Jung who was regaining a confident look after seeing that Davies ended up doing nothing to him.

[Regrettably, for now, there isn't] Miya intoned.

'Tch… there better be a juicy reward for letting this idiot live until I sap him of every single fate point that he has,' Davies clicked his tongue internally and folded his hand into a fist, causing all the ice projectiles that were above the crowd to shatter to pieces with a loud noise.

*Clink* *Clink* *Clink* *Clink* *Clink*

Countless ice shards fell on the floor, making people aware of its deathly presence above their heads just seconds ago, causing their faces to turn deathly pale.

It was at this moment that Lee Jung realized that death was mere meters away from him just seconds ago due to his provocative actions. After realizing this fact, at first, fear befell him as he realized that his actions had put him on a fast track to death and he would probably have died if Davies had not withdrawn his killing intent against him for some reason, but as he realized that Davies had indeed withdrawn from his actions against him his warped protagonist mind came to another conclusion.

He believed that Davies had withdrawn his actions against him, not of his own accord but because he was scared of him for some reason or because of something he possessed. As he thought that he laughed internally to himself that Davies was nothing but a wimp that had tried to scare him.

He had not learned his lesson and was definitely going to do his best to provoke Davies another time, but for now, his body was more honest than his warped mind as it still shivered in fear.
