DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

Chapter 74 CHAPTER 74: A MORNING SHOW I

A white-colored Ventley Conraverse sped through the streets of Yorkshire city.

The driver of the car seemed to pay no attention to the so-called speed limit as he drove as speedily as the road would allow him, constantly over taking the other vehicles on the road.

Luckily even though he was over driving at a speed that was over the speed limit, it wasn't too far from it.

In the end the car took a turning that led towards the business district where various tall and impressive looking buildings littered every corner of the streets and after a few more minutes of speedy driving, the unruly car pulled up in front of an especially tall building that seemed to be challenging the heavens with its impressive height.

The letters IT that were plastered on the side of the building was especially impressive to look at no matter whichever angle one looked at it from.

Davies got out of the car and threw the car key into the hands of the waiting valet before walking past him and making his way to the doors of the building.

'Hmmm... what are the things I have to do today anyway?' he asked himself, not really paying much attention to his surroundings.

'Apart from working on "that", he would probably go back to check on Tisha sometime today,'

'Hopefully, her brother would be there so he can try to find out something about him and make some decisions... and he'd get to have a little session with the purple eyed doctor, Alyssa,'

'... But before all that he had to first focus on the first issue of the day,'

'How many of his managing level or Executive employees had gone to the other side,' he laid all his thoughts bare in his mind and was analyzing the best plan to go about for the day when suddenly an additional thought popped up in his mind,

'Where the hell is that bodyguard/personal assistant of mine?' he wondered with a little annoyance.

All this thinking and planning of his day was originally his job and he was just supposed to follow an already laid out schedule, but because of his, Daniel's, absence he had to be using his brain to think of useless things in the morning.

Thinking of schedules wasn't something a genius's brain should be thinking about. A genius's brain had way more important things to think about and can not afford to have stupid distractions like these in their daily activities.

"GOOD MORNING, MR. LAKE!!!"

Davies was suddenly thrown out of his thoughts by an excessively loud greeting just after pulling open the door and entering the lobby of the Imperium Building.

He was quite taken aback when he saw familiar faces of the Executive officers and Managing officers, as well as a few other employees all waiting at the entrance for his arrival just to greet him.

"... Uh... good morning?" he replied, but his voice had a slight questioning tone and his usually impassive and unfeeling face could not manage to hide his surprise, though his face made it seem that he was only slightly surprised and not flabbergasted like he was feeling internally.

'What brought this about?'

'Did I over do it yesterday in the meeting room yesterday, or is it something else?' he wondered thoughtfully, hoping for an answer to his confusion from Miya.

[...]

[Don't ask me... even I don't know what is happening] Miya replied, just as puzzled as he was.

Seeing that he probably would not get answers from just staring dumbfoundedly at them he decided to have them disperse.

"Uhhh... you can get back to work now," he said and began to move along towards the elevator, not waiting for them to begin dispersing, but on his way to the elevator his attention got snagged by the huge screen on one of the walls.

Or to be more accurate, to what was being displayed on the screen. The screen was a television, and it was currently tuned to a news channel.

There were two women anchors who worked together to deliver the news. It looked more like a TV show where they talked about interesting happenings that was happening currently and there also seemed to be a comment section where people who were watching the show from their phones on a live website could leave their comments.

The women were beautiful of course, one of them was blonde and seemed to be in her late twenties with a slim body as she sat on the spinning stool-like chair while the other was more a black-haired woman with a bob cut and a more mature aura, but they were not what caught Davies's attention, rather it was the current topic that seemed to be the basis of their discussion.

*[Strange deaths of Imperium Technology employees]*

"Eh...? it made the news?" Davies had been expecting dead officials and interesting circumstances, but he had not expected the circumstances to be so interesting that it even made the news and became a topic for discussion.

'What the hell did that crazy girl make them do to those guys?' Davies thought, even more flabbergasted than when he had received a surprise greeting just minutes ago, but now he was especially intrigued and curious, so he decided to wait and watch the show to find out more.

*"Back to where we were on the strange deaths case of Imperium Technology employees," the young blonde said towards the screen as they just came back on after some advertisements

*"Yes, where were we, Cherry?" the short haired matured woman named Mia, asked the younger blonde-haired woman.

*"We were talking about the first victim's cause of death, apparently he got hit while crossing the streets," Cherry replied to Mia's question.

*"What's strange about that?" Mia asked as if she didn't know the cause of the guy's death. It was obvious from her perfect facial movements and expressions that she had experience on how to put on a show.

*"Normally it wouldn't be strange, unless you got hit by an empty white truck," Cherry said, but it was obvious that she was doing her best to keep herself from laughing because of the strange situation.

*"Bless their souls," she quickly added while trying to stifle her laughter, so as not to seem disrespectful.

*"Hmmmm... so Callum Wilson, aged 39,"

*"Cause of death; getting hit by an empty white truck," Mia said with a straight face, but it had the opposite effect on the people who were watching the show and their comments that were popping on the side of the screen.

~"DevilDarkness : Bruh got isekaied?!!?Ÿ¤£"~

~"AsuraSaiyan : All hail truck kun!!?Ÿ˜‚!"~

~"Audio_Frowns : No matter where thou shalt hide, truck-kun will allways deliver,"~

~"jordan_sarceno : I wanna get isekai'd as well!!!?Ÿ˜£"~

As Davies watched, his mind ran back to remember something that had happened in front of him just yesterday and all that came to his mind was,

'No wonder the punk looked familiar.'
