DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

Davies didn't like the current situation he was in. It was the only thing he could not afford to have happening to him right now.

Had it been any other time, he would have continued to chip at the ice spike bear until he could finally break through with a devastating attack and finish off the bear no matter how long it would take, but he could not afford to do that right now.

There was a ticking time bom-… nuke on his ass, and it would blow up in just a little over an hour from now and he would still need at least forty minutes to make it to the gate no matter how fast he ran, but here he was, stuck fighting against this fu**ing bear.

The worst thing was he couldn't run away either. He couldn't afford to turn his back to this bear, especially in his mana-degenerated and physically fatigued state, he didn't dare to, otherwise, there'd be no need to wait over an hour, he'd be dead in seconds.

He hadn't f**ked a flight attendant yet. How could he bear to die a dog's death in the first gate he went into…

So, he continued doing what he was already doing, only this time, he made sure to do more dodging than blocking so he could regenerate as much mana as possible.

It was harder and there were more than a few close calls, he had even gotten a few injuries, but he had finally managed to regenerate enough mana for an attack strong enough to kill the bear.

The only problem was how to break past the bear's defense of constant ice spikes flying his way. He needed to get close enough to be able to make a strike deadly enough that it was undodgeable and unblockable, but so far, he hadn't found a chance yet, so he continued doing his best to dodge.

It was unknown whether he was too physically tired, or because he was wearing the wrong shoes for an icy place, but he slipped while trying to dodge one of the bear's attacks.

He didn't fall, but the momentary pause to stabilize himself had left him vulnerable to an attack from the bear.

Since he could no longer dodge the attack, he decided to block the attack.

Blocking the attack would no doubt send him flying from the shock wave of the attack, but there was nothing he could do about that. It was either that or being impaled and there was no way he'd voluntarily choose to be impaled when he could do something about it, he wasn't a masochist.

He was about to block the attack when suddenly it seemed like the air in front of him solidified and blocked the ice spike attack from the bear before it could reach him.

'A barrier!' his eyes widened immediately as he realized what had just happened.

'What is glasses girl doing back here?' he thought as he jumped back while looking around for Tisha, and sure as can be, she had arrived and was slowly floating down towards him.

"I thought I told you to go to the entrance of the gate?" Davies asked immediately after she landed, still not taking his eyes off the ice spike bear in case it made any moves, but the bear also didn't attack.

It seemed to be trying to gauge if the new human that just arrived was a threat to it, so it was watching them carefully.

"We already arrived at the portal, but after we didn't see any traces of the portal being opened yet, I came back," Tisha replied to Davies.

"Why would you come back?" Davies asked with a raised eyebrow as he took his eyes away from the ice spike bear because he was surprised that she'd come back here.

"... Because…"

"... I was worried…" she said in a low voice, but Davies's ear still picked it up.

[Awwwwnn]

'What the f**k?' at this point Davies himself was confused.

[Hey Davies, tell the truth…]

[Which love potion did you give her?] Miya asked in a shady tone.

'Hell if I know what she is on!' Davies exclaimed internally.

What the hell was this love at first sight sh*t.

While it was true that he was handsome, rich, and powerful… okay, he did tick all the boxes for a Mr. Right, but even that didn't warrant a love at first sight that was already close to infatuation in such a short period of time without him even doing anything. This wasn't some CEO romance novel after all.

'... but hold on…'

'... I can use this,' Davies came to a realization. He was already looking for a way that he would be able to control and use her, especially after finding out about her latent potential.

She was the most talented among the members of the B-Squad after all and he was trying to figure out how he was going to get her in his grasp, especially since she wasn't exactly… normal.

His initial plan was to find a way to use the only weakness about her that seemed to be present which was her brother, but that would be using fear to control her, and if she found a chance, betrayal wouldn't be far off… but with this, he wouldn't even have to do anything.

She literally climbed into his own arms and was going to be a very useful pawn.

This reminded him of the Chinese saying that went like, "after being sold, you still helped the people that sold you to count the money".

An evil smirk rose up on his face as he thought all this, but Tisha couldn't see it because he was no longer facing her.

Davies suddenly was pulled out of his thoughts by ice spikes coming his way. He jumped towards Tisha, grabbed her around the waist, and pulled her out of the range of the attack.

It seemed the bear had not deemed Tisha as a threat, so it continued its attack, but luckily, Davies had seen it just in time to be able to dodge the attack.

After getting out of the way, Davies put Tisha down, ignoring her blushing face because of all the unscrupulous places that his hands had come in contact with while carrying her, and asking her,

"I need you to do something for me,"
