DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN



Davies was buttoning up his shirt while the many plans he had made to go against Lee Jung ran through his head when suddenly his watch began to vibrate violently, greatly surprising him as the vibration indicated trouble.

The vibration in his watch was an alarm he had implemented in it, to notify him if there ever was a security breach on the 139th floor, so the vibration coming from his watch meant that there was someone, who had broken into the building and was trying to steal his technology even though he, the owner and creator of whatever they were trying to steal, was right inside the building.

"The nerve," Davies murmured, a wicked grin appearing on his face as he stood up from his seat and began to walk towards the elevator at an unhurried pace, not hurrying in the slightest.

He went into the elevator and pressed the button for the 139th floor while wondering how the intruder, whoever he or she was, had managed to get into the 139th floor without triggering the main alarm, thereby bypassing the main defense team and only triggering the personal alarm he had set up into the super computer.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway, I needed to warm up my body," he murmured to himself and cracked his bones as he waited for elevator to reach the 139th floor.

The doors to the 139th floor opened up with a loud ding, but before the security system could activate and begin the security checks, Davies called out

"Over ride security protocols: keyword; Black wing," 

[Keyword accepted]

[Security protocols overide... Accepted] the security system's voice rang out and all the security systems shut down immediately, immediately letting Davies see into the white colored room that he had spent most of the last week working in.

There were only two differences that he noticed from the last time he was in the room and now, namely the presence of an all black wearing person and a USB drive that was plugged into the USB port of the supercomputer that was placed in the middle of the room.

The intruder was visibly surprised by Davies's arrival, even though his expression was hidden under the black mask that was on his face.

No one should have known he was here, but from the way Davies had come charging in and disabling the security systems as he came in, it was obvious that he knew that something was going on 

'Where had he slipped up?' he wondered as he looked through his plans and his arrival, but couldn't find what he had done wrong.

He had not come in through the entrance, and had made sure that he hadn't triggered any alarms as he went into the room.

He was also sure that there wasn't even a security camera on the floor which could display his movements.

Though, he had found it weird that there were no security cameras on this floor as the security here was very high, he hadn't bothered with that fact and had even been thankful to whoever had created this place without security cameras, as they had made his breaking in, easier.

Try as he could he couldn't find what had given him away, but that was when Davies's voice broke him out of his reverie.

"How did you get in here?" Davies asked with a questioning tone, while only taking a few steps toward the black clothed intruder.

"Why should I tell you?" The black clothed man said while drawing out a dagger from behind him and holding it in front of him in a defensive posture, but not moving from the spot.

"Ok then, allow me to guess," Davies continued speaking like he wasn't bothered with the fact that the black clothed man had brought out a weapon but not attacking, making it very obvious that he was stalling for time rather than trying to fight.

"Hmm, no broken windows or even anything broken, for that matter, yet you somehow managed to break into a place as secure as this without triggering a single alarm," Davies began, his eyes glancing around at the whole room and confirming everything that just came out of his mouth.

"There are only two ways I can see that happening," he continued, not oblivious to the growing discomfort of the intruder, who was wondering why he had chosen to speak instead of doing the more important thing that was stopping him from stealing his technology, but even though he was thinking all of that he still listened with rapt attention to Davies's words.

"Either you're the best thief or assassin in the world and was somehow able to bypass all the security systems and get in here to steal my technology, or you were able to get in here magically without touching anything," he said keeping an eye on the masked intruder to watch for any strange movements and as he expected, the black clothed intruder had flinched when he mentioned getting into the room without touching anything. 

After noting that, he continued, "seeing how unimpressive you look, I think it's the latter,"

"You probably have a blessing that makes you intangible and with it you were able to get in here without alarming anybody... But me," he finished with a smile finally appearing on his face, and making it seem like he was in control of the whole situation.

'So, this is the rumored genius, Davies Lake... He's much scarier than I thought,' the black masked intruder thought, his back now drenched with sweat after hearing Davies's appraisal of his abilities which were somehow correct without ever even seeing his abilities, but just making a guess based off of his intuition and the current situation, as well as the situation of the environment.

'Step 1, shake up your enemy's mind before beginning the battle, complete,' he thought after seeing the unease at which the man stood and awkwardly held his dagger.

His movements now looked unsure, as if he wasn't sure whether to finish what he was here for, or to run away before Davies could easily come up with a way to make him unable to escape, even though it would be obvious with a bit of thinking that even Davies Lake couldn't grab onto intangible things. 

Unfortunately, his mind was now a bit jumbled up from his abilities being discovered this quickly and his instincts were screaming at him to get away from Davies, who though, was standing there with a relaxed posture and look, was emitting an aura of danger that the intruder's fragile mind couldn't keep up with.

He was just a small time thief who had always been able to get in and out of wherever he targeted without ever alerting the owners or even their alarms, and had just recently taken on a big job to steal company secrets from Imperium Technologies because the payout of the job was enough to let him retire and leave the rest of his life in comfort of good food and beauties.

He wasn't even good at fighting and had only managed to survive this long because he never got caught, but here he was now, a deer in headlights of the biggest predator he had ever provoked in his life.

If not for his experience, he would have already pissed himself and ran away, but the knowledge that his employers wouldn't let him go if he came back with nothing kept his feet still placed on the ground, albeit unsteadily.

'Step 2...' Davies thought, blowing out white mist from his mouth as he took a deep breath, 'unexpected attack!!!'

Davies immediately threw out an ice dart that he had formed in a few milliseconds with pinpoint accuracy at the flash that was connected to the USB port of the super computer.

Just because he had not acted alarmed or troubled by the fact that his technology was being stolen didn't mean that he didn't care about the matter.

Rather he had put up the facade that he was not even slightly troubled by his technology being stolen, to mess with the mind of the black clothed technology thief.

There was no way that Davies would allow his technology to be stolen, especially since it was pertaining his trump card.

Normally, he would not be worried about his technology being stolen as he had always made sure to put many measures in place to avoid a situation like the present, but during the time that he had been working at the 139th floor this week, he had only erased everything about his work after sending it to his satellite, and he usually did that when he was about to leave the company, but he hadn't done that yet today, so his immediate priority was to stop the stealing of his information. 

That was also the reason why he had targeted the USB drive that was being used to steal his technology rather than the intruder himself, especially after he had discovered that said intruder was able to make himself intangible.

Unfortunately, it seemed that lady luck was currently siding with the black clothed intruder as he was somehow able to grab and remove the USB drive before the ice dart that Davies had thrown could reach it's target, though not without cost. 

'Shit,' Davies thought with a wry smile.
