Chapter 114 CHAPTER 114: ONE WEEK LATER



It had been a week since Davies had been shot in the shoulder by Dalena and poisoned by her golden bullet, and he had spent most of his time at the 139th floor of the Imperium Technologies building.

From early morning to late evenings, he was always there, working on project "Words Make Up The World." Even his weekends weren't spared.

For everyone who didn't know his reasons for doing so, they thought he was working hard on a new product since they didn't know his working habits, and they were half right, but what they didn't know was that Davies had been rushing to finish this project before his hands healed completely, so that he could get to dealing with Lee Jung as soon as he was back to a being a hundred percent fit.

Also, he was finally almost done with the project that was supposed to play a very important role as his trump card should anything completely out of his expectations should happen.

As for why it was called a project and not an invention was because it encompassed what one item could be. It was more like a discovery into a whole new path of mana usage but it's details are a story for another time. 

Davies had not just stayed locked up in the lab without doing anything else, he had asked Daniella to get some people to watch Lee Jung's every move, but as expected of a protagonist, it was proving quite difficult to track his exact movements and a lot of things that didn't make sense occurred continuously in the tracking process, making it even harder to keep an eye on him.

Davies had expected this much, as he knew that fate was sure to protect it's agent from any issues that could occur, unless said issue was an opportunity in disguise instead, so he hadn't expected much in the first place was not bothered by it, but had instead used that to fuel himself into finishing his long worked on project as soon a possible, to be ready for whatever fate planned to throw his way.

Apart from keeping an eye on Lee Jung, he had spoken with Tisha a few times on the phone as he was too busy to go on something like a date with her.

Also the two of them with dark fates being together was like a beacon that attracted trouble whether from Lee Jung or something even more unexpected... Like the time they had been stuck in the mission gate.

He had been thinking about it for a bit and come to the conclusion that them being stuck in the mission gate was not some strange coincidence, but rather it was fate playing it's tricks because they were both villains with dark fate values, but fate seemed to have either underestimated him, or overestimated it's protagonist, Lee Jung.

Getting him stuck in the mission gate was probably some way of buying Lee Jung time to slightly develop himself, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental that the same day Lee Jung got access to the system was the same day he had gotten stuck in the gate... And he wasn't just speculating on this matter as he had actually gotten Daniella to check and confirm his thoughts,  and from the testimonies of people who knew Lee Jung before he had gotten a system, they all said that they had noticed something different about him on the same day that Davies had gotten stuck in the gate 

His landlady said that he moved out of the building that exact same day while saying he had gotten a house, but he had never been able to pay his rent on time in recent months, so to her it was quite strange.

His neighbor said she had seen land deeds and car keys to a car that she never thought him to be able to own. She had even had the fantasy that he was some rich family's young master who had come out into the real world for experience.

Davies didn't care about Lee Jung's neighbor's fantasies, but it was obvious from the information that he had gotten, that everything he had been thinking to be correct was just as he had thought it to be.

This made things even more dangerous, as Davies was able to confirm that fate would attempt to directly tamper with him as long as he became too much of a threat to Lee Jung.

Such a thought disgusted him and pissed him off even more, while at the same time giving him some relief in the fact that he had listened to Miya and had not gone after his life or even injure him on the night when he met him at the mall.

He had not even done anything yet, but fate was already attacking him, so what would happen if he had actually dared to directly target Lee Jung's life... He may even be struck by lightning, or get a visit from truck-kun, or worse.

This information only cemented the fact that he was in uncharted waters and needed to play his cards very carefully, and not overestimate his own ability because he was still no match for a phenomenon like fate.

Thus, Davies had spent most of his time working on his trump card while revising his plans to deal with Lee Jung... And also enjoying a bit of snu snu with Jessica whenever he got a bit tired from working all day long.

Like this, a week had passed and Davies's left arm and shoulder were now fully healed and ready for whatever action came it's way. Davies turned his shoulder and moved his arm in different directions to check if there was still and numbness present or if any form of stifness was present in his hand movements.





He was currently on the 138th floor of the Imperium Technologies building, shirtless in front of a mirror and looking at his shoulder while rolling it. 

Surprisingly, there wasn't even a scar to show that he had been shot in the shoulder just a week ago as while being a Mega came with a stronger life force that enabled them to survive worse injuries than a normal human, as well as a higher healing factor, Davies also had a special physique that was almost impervious to poison, had high healing capabilities as well as a few other quirks that couldn't be used at the moment as they were currently sealed by his Ex ranked blessing "Reversion".

Though his arm had been completely healed and didn't even have a scar that marred his skin to remind him, Davies hadn't forgotten about the one who had put a hole in his shoulder a week ago, Dalena Santos.

He had Daniella keep an eye on her as well after she had been taken away by the ambulance. Her father, Phillipe Santos, who was the head of the Santos family, as well as the General in command of the Mega Protection Association(just a fancy title that means he is the head of the MPA) had arrived at the hospital completely livid at the thought that someone had dared to harm his precious daughter.

Only after finding out that the person who had harmed his 'precious daughter' was Davies Lake, and that his daughter had chased down Davies, almost scrapped his favorite car, thereby almost killing Davies in the process, and still went on to shoot him in the shoulder with a mana bullet, did his anger begin to dissipate from his face as Daniella literally listed out Dalena's offences against Davies and that she was lucky that Davies hadn't killed her immediately after she had dared to shoot at him, and had instead gotten away with just a few injuries.

If it was any other person, Phillipe would be able to use his status and power to silence the person and make sure the person died in the cruelest way possible, but he didn't dare to do something like that as the person he was up against was Davies and he wouldn't dare to show any killing intent against him out in the open.

That was why even though Daniella had spoken disrespectfully to him, he couldn't even shout her down and openly show his anger, but Davies knew that Phillipe Santos was a venomous man who wouldn't let something like this go, would look for Davies to settle accounts later... And that was exactly what Davies wanted.

He couldn't go after their family without raising eyebrows if they didn't do anything against him first.

It had been a week, a mostly inactive week for Davies, and now he was itching for some action, it was time to go in guns blazing and do the best to make Lee Jung lose fate points, while dealing with whatever other problems that came his way. 

Various planned scenarios and plans that he had come up with roiled through his mind as he put on his shirt, but while buttoning up his shirt, the watch on his hand vibrated violently, greatly surprising him, because his vibrating watch signified trouble.
