Chapter 136 CHAPTER 136: PREEMPTIVE STRIKE



\'So that was why you kept telling me not to go after his life yet?" Davies asked Miya.

[Yes] Miya quickly responded.

\'Hmmm, ok... Also, why are you so silent these da-\' Davies was in the process of asking why the second presence in his mind was suddenly very silent lately as it was not like her when suddenly his head snapped to the right at breakneck speed, but there was nothing strange to notice apart from his overcoat that he had thrown so carelessly to the side.

Seeing nothing strange did nothing to dissuade his suspicion that has risen extremely quickly as he was sure he had sensed his mana at that side of the car which was strange as he hadn\'t purposely released his mana, neither was it leaking out of his body, under no condo should his mana be somewhere that his body was not.

As he looked at his overcoat that he had thrown so carelessly to the side, his brain cogs started turning quickly until the most likely scenario appeared in his mind and immediately, he realized what had happened, he called out to Daniella who was driving the car.

"Tomorrow, I want to see the headlines \'The old president of the \'Diamonds In The Rough\' stone company commits suicide after being unable to pay billion powerstone dollars debt\'", Davies spoke grimly.

Daniella, who was driving, was shocked at Davies\'s sudden decision to make the old president disappear, 

\'I guess he was more annoyed than I thought,\' she thought to herself, but outwardly replied, 

"I\'ll bring the newspapers to you tomorrow then," to which Davies nodded approvingly despite the grim look on his face.

In reality, Davies wasn\'t trying to kill the old president because he was annoyed at what had happened earlier, but rather it had to do with what he had realized to have happened after he had been snapped alert just seconds earlier.

What had caused Davies to snap to attention earlier was that he had sensed his mana. It was strange as he hadn\'t released his mana, and neither was it leaking so he shouldn\'t have sensed his mana somewhere that was not his body... But he had.

Since he was very sure that he hadn\'t sent his mana in that direction and thus was not inadvertently the cause of why he had sensed his mana where he had thrown his overcoat, the only reasonable explanation was that his mana had been brought there by someone else, which also shouldn\'t be possible, but the moment he remembered something that had happened earlier, he realized what had probably happy.

Just a few minutes earlier when he was still at the \'Diamonds In The Rough\' building, he had been grabbed on the shoulder by one of the security guards who was somehow able to appear behind him undetected by either Daniella or himself.

To repel him from holding on to him, Davies had burst out his mana and sent it into the security guard\'s body through the hand that was grabbing onto his shoulder, managing to freeze his arm before the guard pulled away to avoid being frozen any further. 

The reason why Davies remembered this occurrence was because it was the last time he released his mana and it was just a few minutes ago, and it was on someone who was able to escape his senses.

It perfectly fitted the bill. If that same security guard used the same stealth that he had used to appear behind him undetected, then Davies wouldn\'t have been able to sense... Unless he somehow still had a trace of Davies\'s mana which Davies was very sensitive to.

After realizing that the security guard had probably appeared here stealthily, the only thing that remained for him to figure out was why the security guard had appeared here inside of his car, but Davies was able to easily figure it out immediately he saw what was in the place where he had sensed his mana.

It was nothing but his overcoat. When Davies had taken the moonstone back at the building, he had put it inside of his overcoat\'s pocket, and now he had sensed the security guard where he had placed the overcoat.

It was obvious that the security guard had come here trying to steal back the moonstone from Davies on the orders of the old president. 

That was the only plausible explanation that could be inferred from this situation. The old president would probably have blamed whoever had stolen the other power stones if Davies had come back to complain about the situation.

"Well, too bad for them," Davies said with a smirk and pulled out the moonstone from his inventory and began to throw it up and play around with it as he thought about what the old president would be feeling like right now after the security guard went back to tell him that he couldn\'t find the moonstone.

That old man had really underestimated him, thinking it would be so easy to steal back the moonstone in order not to incur any more losses, but Davies also realized that fate probably had a hand in this move as well as it was obvious that, for some reason, Lee Jung really needed this stone.

"What\'s so special about this thing anyway," Davies muttered with a smile and tried to access the mana inside it. He was able to sense a strange kind of mana inside the stone, but he was unable to do anything to it.

He tried to absorb it, but he couldn\'t even get the mana to come out from the stone, and after a minute of trying to move the mana but failing, he gave up and put it back into his inventory.

For now, other than its aesthetic beauty, he couldn\'t find another use for the stone, so it was better to put it away. After putting the moonstone back inside his inventory, his eyes fell upon two other slots inside of his inventory that were full of stones and he snickered.

Of course, he was the one that stole the stones, otherwise, he would have razed the \'Diamonds In The Rough\' building to the ground and turned everything and everyone upside down while tearing the place up looking for the culprit that had stolen something he had his eyes on.

His pursuit of the ghost thief earlier was an example of that.

As for how he had managed to make all the stones appear inside of his inventory without alerting even Daniella was a trade secret, a mystery that would unravel itself sometime in the future... For now, all that needed to be known was that he was awesome.

Today had been a bit rough and he still felt uncomfortable about letting a piece of information about his trump card fall into the hands of Lee Jung, but he had managed to hit back at Lee Jung and take a few of his advantages. 

Well, he was going to do even more by making sure that the old president was no longer breathing tomorrow morning, after all, he couldn\'t allow the protagonist to have a rich thigh to grab onto.

Originally he hadn\'t planned to be this direct and proactive, but the old man had put his own head on the chopping block by annoying him and trying to steal his stuff, so off with his head.

"Hmph," Davies snorted annoyedly as he remembered the guts of that stupid president.

\'Maybe I should continue acting this proactive and continue removing the problems before they become problems?\' he wondered to himself.

\'I could start doing that at the banquet for Fiona\'s father tomorrow,\' he thought to himself as he wondered what would happen at the banquet that was scheduled for the day after this one.

He knew that it was probably going to be another crazy plot and to be honest, he wasn\'t sure if he was prepared for another crazy situation where everything went against him, but he didn\'t really have a choice in this whole thing anyway, so he\'d keep going.

At least, he\'d keep riding until the wheels fell off, but before that, 

"Also, make sure to find that security guard\'s details... As for whether to terminate him or recruit him, I\'ll leave that up to your discretion," he said again to Daniella, and she replied with a nod.

There was no way he would leave someone who was able to appear behind him undetected alone... Such a person was a threat and neither to either be owned or terminated.

If he was called evil for doing something like this, he wouldn\'t even react because that was just the way life was. 

If you find a weakness in yourself but didn\'t eliminate it due to factors like being humane, you will be the only one to suffer when the said weakness becomes your downfall, at that point, you would only have yourself to blame for not acting earlier and terminating the weakness when it was still possible.

Thus he was always going to make the preemptive strike no matter how inhumane it may seem the moment he was able to guarantee that it was a weakness. 

With that out of the way, it was time to look at how many fate points he had managed to make Lee Jung lose this time, and right on time, he heard the notification ding from the system, and he immediately pulled up the notification screen looking forward to his results.
