DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN



Davies picked up a glass of wine and swirled it around as he moved to a more inconspicuous area of the hall.

He maintained a low key appearance and spoke to no one as he moved until he arrived at a corner of the hall where there was no one to disturb him.

He was very thankful that this hadn't been the kind of banquet where one's name was shouted out upon their entry, otherwise he would be swamped with annoying idiots trying to come in contact for various reasons, some weirder than the other.

Of course, with a face like his, he still turned heads and he wasn't completely inconspicuous in the corner he had chosen to stay, especially since he wasn't recognizable among the people in Yorkshire who were influential enough to be invited to the birthday banquet of someone like the head of the Lecroy family, more especially as he was very young.

But most of the eyes that had fallen on him quickly moved away as even though he was handsome, mysterious and influential enough to attend the banquet, they preferred to focus on relating with the people they actually recognized, giving Davies the solace he had in mind when he had avoided interacting with anyone.

As for the few eyes that remained on him, Davies ignored them and began to scan through the visitors present in the hall with a scrutinizing look in his eyes as he tried to figure out which one of them could end up becoming a problem, after all, he wasn't really here because he had wanted to celebrate the birthday of someone he didn't even know.

Thanks to his request to Daniella to help him gather information about the top brass in the city and him actually going through some of the gathered information, he was able to recognize quite a few of the people gallivanting around. 

He had already noticed a few reputable business owners and with their net worth in at least the hundreds of millions, there were even some league leaders and important members of the most powerful and reputable leagues in Yorkshire city and last but not least, there were members of the four great families present, and of course, they weren't alone as they all had some accompaniment.

'Seems Lee Jung isn't here yet,' Davies thought to himself as he brought his wine glass to his mouth after not noticing the presence of the annoying fated protagonist. This meant that for the time being, there was no need for Davies to do anything or talk to anyone unless it was absolutely unavoidable.

He leaned back on the wall, grabbed another glass of wine and slowly sipped it, looking disinterested in everything that was going on around him, but his eyes that were stealthily darting around told a different story. Even though he looked completely disinterested, he was still keeping an eye on the proceedings going on inside the hall as he did not want to miss anything important.

Daniella who was also just right beside him also took a glass of wine and slowly sipped on it. She didn't really know what had brought Davies around to making the decision to attend this kind of gathering as it wasn't something he'd normally do, but it wasn't her duty to question his decision, all she had to do was follow all his orders anyway.

Davies maintained a low key image while drinking glass after glass of wine, not bothering about if he could get drunk as there was no way the light wine he had been chugging down for the last few minutes could even get him slightly tipsy, especially as he had a naturally high alcohol tolerance.

Suddenly, there was a light ruckus at the entrance of the hall. It wasn't on the level that it could disturb the whole hall as it was simply a change in the moods of everyone who was close enough to the entrance, but Davies who had been constantly scanning through the hall immediately noticed the change in mood of everyone looking at the direction of the entrance and he also quickly looked at the entrance of the hall to know what had caused such a reaction in the crowd.

His eyes darted towards the entrance of the hall and immediately he realized what had caused the change of mood in the people who were within reach of the entrance.

Standing at the entrance in a black evening gown was an extremely beautiful raven haired woman who had ample curves in all the right places.

Her curves weren't just ample but were big enough and so well shaped tha Davies felt like her beauty and sexiness had just sucker punched him right in the middle and he immediately lost his breath, but luckily he managed to not let the wine he was drinking to go into the wrong place and not cause him to have a coughing fit.

The beautiful raven haired woman who looked to be in her early thirties stood there with a frigid look on her face as she also scanned the hall with her eyes. 

Davies could understand why just her mere appearance had been able to cause such a change in the mood of everyone with a view of the entrance of the hall, he had also been sucker punched by her beauty, especially as she had the kind of beauty, maturity, and temperance that fully triggered his desires.

Melinda Ashborne, League Leader of The Furious Phoenix League which was probably the most powerful league in the whole city of Yorkshire, was the identity of the beautiful raven haired woman, Davies recalled from the information he had read about her.

According to the information that Daniella had submitted, she was a stage 4 elementalist with the S-ranked blessing, Wings of the phoenix.

"Hmmm, interesting…" Davies murmured slightly nodding to himself as various thoughts ran through his head.

[...]

[Somehow, your intuition was correct, I'm detecting great amounts of fate value coming off of her] Miya said in Davies's head, expecting him to use this chance to gloat in her face that he was smarter than she was and she should just listen to him like the idiot she was, but surprisingly, Davies wasn't saying a single word.

The reason for this was because Davies had noticed an annoying pest sticking around the woman who had just triggered all of his desires to possess her, the stupid bastard protagonist, Lee Jung.

From where he stood, he saw Lee Jung walk into the hall from behind her and go up to talk to Melinda, who actually responded to him before they split up and went different ways into the hall.

'Hey, Miya, what do you think would be the best way to damage Lee Jung right now?' Davies asked internally with a tone that was a little too calm. Miya immediately realized that her host had been triggered and had already entered hunt mode, his eyes glinting dangerously.

[...]

Miya could not come up with an answer as everything she could even think up at the moment were things that wereand were almost impossible to be.

[Without a doubt... It would be snatching the new heroine from Lee Jung before he can establish a romantic relationship with her, but...]

[...I doubt even you can crack open that ice queen easily] Miya spoke her mind.

'So... All I have to do is pipe her?' Davies thought quizzically to himself.

[Huh.... Hold up, what do you mean 'pipe her'?]

[What does that even mean] Miya was confused at Davies's choice of words.

'Don't sweat the details... It means what it sounds like it means, piping her hard,' Davies didn't care about Miya's confusion as he had other challenging things to think about at the moment.

'Piping' the most powerful woman in the city was not as easy as he had made it sound with the words easily rolling smoothly off of his tongue. 

But as a villain, Davies had no plans to play fair, after all, why would he have to crack open the ice queen if she could crack herself open with almost no effort from his side.

Of course, getting that to happen was also easier than it sounded, it would require devastating intelligence on his part and an equally just as despicable plan that would get him thrown in jail if Leivandage was a world where the laws of society were actually able to hold him.

Unfortunately, for Lee Jung and fortunately for Davies, there were almost no one that could make Davies answer to them, and that was even if they ever found out about what he was planning to do.

[I get that you're planning to... In your own words 'pipe her', but how are you going to do that?]

[And even if you manage to, by some crazy plan of yours, achieve such a feat... Which would be very shocking]

[It could just end up being a one night thing and not actually stop the Lee Jung from getting the opportunity he was supposed to get]

[I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you that just sleeping with a heroine doesn't gather anything] Miya warned.

'It's true that it doesn't, but I have my ways...'

'Also, you have to admit that while I have been betrayed by some women, my bedmatic skills have no equal...' Davies stated with pride.
