DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

Chapter 159 CHAPTER 159: DESTINY AND FATE X



Suddenly, Davies had a thought. If the system took as many fate points as it needed to in order to save him, then it had probably used a lot of fate points to save him this time especially as the way he was saved was nothing short of tampering with the timeline to plan a way to save him.

"Err… How many fate points did the system use to save me?" he asked, his tone sounding a little sheepish as he was a bit apprehensive of the numbers he was expecting to hear.

[...]

\'Ah, shit,\'

\'It\'s a lot, isn\'t it?\'

[Yeah… fifty thousand fate points] Miya finally spoke, and just like he was expecting, she was bearing bad news.

"Fifty what now!?"

"I don\'t even have that many points!" Davies said exasperatedly.

[Well, since it\'s the first time, the system decided to lend you some points, but know that it will not be happening again] Miya said.

"Am I supposed to feel grateful, because I\'m not feeling that right now," Davies replied, annoyed… but to be honest, he had expected a pretty high number from the start and to be told that he was in debt didn\'t really throw him off that much. 

He couldn\'t exactly use the fate points anyway so he wouldn\'t mind being in debt all that much right now, but it was an annoying thing for him to feel like he owed someone something. He didn\'t like feeling like he owed someone else his life, but he couldn\'t exactly do much about that right now, so he\'d have to live with it.

\'So, now I\'ve got a last resort card that can be played in case of any unexpectedly fatal situations,"  he was happy that he had another trump card, though this one probably couldn\'t be used for a while until he at least repaid all his debts… but since the death of Lee Jung was not very far off according to the plans he had made, he was confident that he could soon clear the debt.

Hopefully, he wouldn\'t encounter any more fatal situations for a while, but that would be him lying to himself… His life wasn\'t going to be that easy on the path he had to tread upon.

"So now I have Destiny\'s Helping Hand to go against fate\'s protagonists, huh?" he muttered and suddenly shivered.

His whole life was not something about some sort of war between gods and phenomena like destiny, fate, and whatever else there is, right?

Unfortunately, there was no one who could answer that question and if he wanted to find out whether his sudden thought had some truth behind it, then he\'d have to do it himself.

\'In the end, I have to do everything myself,\' he thought as he reached for the piece of paper that was on the dashboard and unfolded it to see what was written on it.

"My phone wasn\'t working for some reason, so I wrote this note to tell you that I\'m leaving," he read aloud and then looked for the next line, but there was none.

"That\'s it?" he was confused as to why there wasn\'t anything else written on the paper and even thought that she had probably written the rest of the message with an invisible inked pen or something of the sort, as this wasn\'t the kind of message, he was expecting from someone who had slept with him to save his life.

"Where\'s the rest of it," he thought out loud, and even used his mana to sweep across the paper just in case he had missed something, but even after subjecting the sheet of paper to all forms of checks, he still hadn\'t found any sort of hidden message and finally had to come to terms with the fact that that one line was all that Melinda had written when she had chosen to skedaddle and leave him in the middle of nowhere after sleeping with him.

"I know she was terrible at communication, but damn," he had to admit that he hadn\'t expected such a short and bland message that made him feel like he was a mere one-night stand for her. 

If he hadn\'t known that this was a result of her terrible communication skills, then he wouldn\'t have known what to think and would have thought that she meant something else due to the weird note she had left.

Anyway, he\'d simply have to call her when he returned to civilization, speaking of which, is exactly what he should be doing, so he sat back up and began to put on his clothes that had been flung all over the car\'s interior. 

He put on all his clothes and then got out the passenger door to go around and go to the driver\'s seat. He wasn\'t interested in performing any in-car gymnastics unless it was a dire situation.

He got into the driver\'s seat, started up the car, and looked at the GPS to still see the location of his house still input in and began to follow the directions as even though he knew the way to his house, he did not know where he was right now so he had to follow the directions given by the GPS until he got to an area he already knew and from there he could find his own way. 

He quickly began to drive and was soon back on the road and there he could unleash the full capacity of his car and immediately his car roared in response to the pressure he had put on the accelerator and the car zoomed off into the distance while he had begun to call Daniella to prepare a bath for him before he reached home.

**Somewhere else…**

Lee Jung was packing up some clothes and traveling utensils into a duffel bag in preparation for a trip out of town, but the trip wasn\'t a leisurely one, but rather one that got all his hairs standing on his body in excitement.

He had received a mission from his system, and it wasn\'t just any mission, but a chain mission. 

Normally, a chain mission wasn\'t enough to make Lee Jung feel giddy with excitement, but this particular mission did because of its final objectives and its rewards, should he manage to complete it.

[New chain mission activated]

[Mission title: Get rid of a pest]

[Mission level: Extreme Danger]

[Mission details: Davies Lake has constantly been a thorn in your side. His presence at uncanny places is beginning to put a hamper on your rise to the stars… it\'s your job as a hero to get rid of him]

[Mission 1: Get outta town]

[Mission details: You may have chosen to get rid of the pest known as Davies Lake, but if he is an insect, you\'re nothing but a microbe that can cause no threat to him whatsoever. Go to the location marked X on the system map and begin your conquest of strength till you\'re able to threaten Davies Lake\'s life]

[Mission 1 reward: ???]

[Mission 2: Complete mission 1 to unlock]

[Mission 3: Complete mission 2 to unlock]

[Mission 4: Complete mission 3 to unlock]

[Mission 5: Complete mission 4 to unlock]

[Final Mission clear conditions: Kill or defeat Davies Lake]

[Final Mission possible rewards: 1Ex-ranked blessing, Magical Runic Technology, Shares of Imperium Technologies, ???]

[To note…Mission rewards depend on the completion ratio]

[Current mission completion ratio: 0%]

\'Just like it said, it was a mission to kill his archenemy who somehow survived the mana poison if the mission was telling him to have to kill him\', these were Lee Jung\'s thoughts.

There was no way he would ever reject this kind of mission especially as it was on the kind of objective that both he and the system agreed on. 

Davies Lake had to die. 

Lee Jung had more than a few grudges against him, and it was very clear that there was no love lost between them as it was obvious that Davies didn\'t like him either, so Lee Jung was actually happy that the system had given him a mission that would allow him to strike first.

He had previously worried that he had no way to touch Davies because after he had found out the kind of power he wielded both physically and financially, he had realized that trying to attack Davies was nothing but a pipe dream at the level that he currently was, but now that the system had given him a mission, he knew that the system had created a way for him to accomplish this goal, so he now had a way out.

Also, the mission rewards were enough to make him salivate. Just the Magical Runic Technology was enough to make him jump into the mission even with this level of mission difficulty, but with all the other rewards that had been added, there was no way he would refuse to jump onto such a mission with such a reward, especially as it was something that he would have done either way.

It seemed even the heavens wanted Davies Lake dead.

"As one chosen by the heavens, it is up to me to carry out their orders," he spoke narcissistically to himself as he kept packing.
