DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

Just before the first flash from the cameras, an ice mask formed on the lower half of Davies's face as he stood up so when the cameras started flashing constantly, they weren't able to get his full face on camera.

Davies didn't mind the fame, but he'd rather not have every single Tom, Dick, and Harry know his face, his name being famous was enough.

With Tisha still in his arms, his eyes swept across the area around the parking lot and fell on Daniel who stood nearby the gate, he began to walk towards Daniel with an unconscious and unresponsive Tisha in his arms, it seemed she had finally lost consciousness.

With a few long strides, he was standing in front of Daniel,

"I made it out…"

"...You made it out…," Daniel's voice came back, but it sounded quite weak.

"So… what's next on the schedule?"

"Hah? Haha," Daniel's surprised but weak tone and low laughter was the only response he received.

Daniel's body suddenly wavered slightly, but he managed to hold himself up and not fall, but Davies's discerning eyes noticed it and wondered why he seemed excessively weak at the moment.

"... Let me first send her to the hospital," Davies said and gestured by slightly raising Tisha in his arms, and without waiting for Daniel's response he began to walk in the direction of the medical staff that had just arrived with an ambulance.

A stretcher was quickly brought forth and Davies carefully laid Tisha down onto the stretcher and watched the stretcher being carried away toward the ambulance.

They probably had some emergency medication or process they had to administer to her with the way they rushed her off after knowing what happened, but Davies didn't know what it was, his specialty was in taking lives, not saving them.

Seeing the other members of the B-Squad being surrounded by other medical staff reminded him that he had also sustained some injuries while he fought the bear.

He had completely forgotten about them as he had always been good at handling pain but they were light enough for a little bit of plaster to fix, but if even plaster wasn't enough he had duct tape so he didn't plan on getting some medical staff to fuss over his injuries.

This had nothing to do with the fact that there wasn't any beautiful medical staff around, nope, absolutely had nothing to do with that.

As Davies was about to make his way back to the car, he suddenly overheard something interesting.

"That bodyguard really has such strong devotion and amazing loyalty," one man said.

"Or maybe he's being paid too much," another added.

"... I don't know what his motivation was, but to stand in the same spot for the last six days without moving a single muscle, just wow," the first man continued, seemingly dazzled.

"Haha, almost thought he had become a statue," the other man said with a little laugh.

Davies's sharp ears picked up this conversation between two men standing a bit far off. They seemed to be a part of the team that was supposed to bring out the useful things inside the gates including but not limited to body parts of the monsters killed in the gates.

'Did that happen?' he thought, and he turned his head to look toward Daniel who was now standing beside the Ventley.

To say Davies was emotionally touched… would be an absolute lie, but he was definitely impressed by this act of loyalty and trust in him.

Looking over at Daniel carefully, he could see the weakness that he had tried to hide, he'd probably soon collapse if nothing was done, and Davies couldn't have that happening for some special reasons.

Letting him be treated by the medical personnel that was around was another thing that couldn't happen, so Davies quickly began to walk over, while ignoring the call from some medical officers to help him treat his injuries and the annoying, constant flashing of the cameras.

What were they even trying to capture, that those mofos' kept on flashing their cameras all over the place, there was literally nothing to see but his handsome face, and even that was half-covered by the ice mask he had formed on his face.

In less than ten seconds he was beside the car and opened the driver's seat ignoring Daniel's attempt to open the door for him to get in.

"Get inside," he said and didn't even bother to wait to see if he replied, protested, or obeyed, but Daniel obeyed the order and got in the car, the energy to protest had long left his body and the moment his body landed on the soft and comfortable chairs of the luxurious vehicle, he lost consciousness immediately.

Luckily, the car had an automatic door-shutting feature, because Davies was not the type of person that was nice enough to get back out and shut the door to make sure that Daniel wouldn't fall out of the car.

Davies started the vehicle and looked at the time being displayed on the digital display inside the car,

[4:07am]

It turned out it was pretty early in the morning. Since it was dark out, Davies couldn't really tell earlier.

He put the car in gear and drove out of the parking lot at a moderate pace, surprisingly.

Davies wasn't trying to be considerate of Daniel or anything, but he saw no point in breaking things he could still use, especially when they functioned quite well, after all, there was no benefit in working Daniel to death, especially when he was quite competent at what he did.

He drove onto the highway and began to make his way back to his residence.

After about an hour of driving, Davies pulled up into the driveway of his mansion after passing through the automated gates.

He came down from the car and opened the backdoor and carried Daniel into the house and dumped him into the first bedroom he found.

After that he walked towards his bathroom, he needed a bath to wash clean and to clear his thoughts.

More powerstones please...

For those that read the last chapter already, I ended up changing the number of days that had passed outside the gate to 6 days instead of 3.
