Chapter 13 CHAPTER 13: AN ANNOYING DAY
"16 times, that was the number of attempts made at my life… and that was after 24 attempts to kidnap me after I began to be called a genius when I was just 8 years old," Davies said coldly.
"I survived through all those attempts to kill or kidnap me… but did you guys even know how?"
"Did you make any attempts to protect me from all those dangers?"
"Did you even try to help or better my living conditions after my parents "supposedly died"?
"You wouldn't even be bothered about my existence if you didn't have anything to gain… unfortunately for you,"
"I have nothing to give people who already have one foot in the grave," Davies said condescendingly,
"You insolent brat!!!" one of the elders shouted,
"Also, I don't really know how stupid you'd have to be to ask me to hand over my company," Davies ignored the elder's rant and continued with a sneer,
"And the funniest part is that you actually expect me to hand it over,"

"Does being half dead make you braindead, because I really can't understand what made you resort to such a stupid way of trying to acquire Imperium Technologies…
"... I mean, to actually ask me to just hand it over, did you run out of ideas, or your brain can no longer produce ideas,"
"ENOUGH!!!" Hagen shouted as his pressure came down heavily on Davies who sat on his icy throne in the middle of the room.
"You ungrateful bastard, is this how you pay back your family after taking care of you?" another one of the elders shouted at Davies who was being pressed down by Hagen's pressure,
"Huh, grateful to you? Are you not only senile but deaf as well?" Davies questioned as if Hagen's pressure on him nothing was but a light breeze.
"YOU!!!" the elder raged,
"Don't expect me to respect you if you don't even respect yourselves," Davies said as he stood from his icy throne and began to walk out of the room as the charade had gone on too long already in his opinion,
As he reached the door of the room Davies turned and said, "From now on stay out of my business, or else!" a burst of killing intent filled the room, shocking everyone in the room at the amount of killing intent that he possessed.
*SLAM*
Davies left the room before anybody could notice that he was shaking slightly, as he shut the door, he almost stumbled and almost fell, but quickly used the wall to stabilize himself.
[Are you alright?] Miya questioned, concern evident in her voice.
'I'm fine, but it seems my uncle has become really strong in the years I was away,' Davies said as he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to clean his nosebleed as the pressure of Hagen Lake on him had done more damage to him than he had thought it would. The only reason why he hadn't succumbed to the pressure while he was in the presence of the elders was that he didn't want to show weakness, otherwise, they'd take advantage of it, his being already seated as well helped.
[It seems he's already very near awakening] Miya stated her observation.
'... that could end up being really troublesome,' Davies sighed as he began to make his way out of the building.
Davies got out of the Central Hall and walked over to where Daniel had parked the Ventley and got in quickly, "Drive,"
"Huh? How was the meeting, sir?" Daniel was a bit surprised at Davies coming out quite quickly and tried to ask how the meeting went, but Davies wasn't in the mood for it,
"Just drive," Davies repeated, a bit sternly this time, and Daniel quickly started the car and started driving, not inclined to annoy Davies with any more questions.
Daniel drove out of the Lake estate and decided to drive to the mansion as there was nothing else on Davies's schedule for the day, and even if there was, it didn't seem like Davies was in the mood for it.
They were halfway to the mansion when suddenly a Cerrari overtook them at high speed, but instead of speeding off into the distance, the car blocked their path, forcing Daniel to slam on the brakes and bring the car to a quick stop to prevent an accident. This jolted awake Davies, who was in the backseat already half asleep.
"What the heck is it this time!?" Davies was already quite annoyed from the day's annoying events, but now he couldn't even rest in peace. He almost lost it when he saw the crazy driver that almost caused an accident coming down from his car without the slightest look of remorse on his face.
"Fucking Joshua… stay in the car, Daniel," Davies said without waiting for a reply as he pushed open the door of the Ventley and stepped out.
"What is it this time?" Davies asked as he walked towards Joshua who was also walking towards him as well.
"You were called back to the family at the request of the family elders?" Joshua began.
"And?" Davies asked as he didn't understand what Joshua was getting at.
"You actually dared to insult them!!!" Joshua shouted as he sent his mana to his fists and lunged at Davies with his fists bursting with flames.
"...!" Davies quickly jumped out of the way of Joshua's fists before forming an ice ball and throwing it at Joshua with great force.
Joshua managed to block the ice ball, but he ended up pushed back a bit by the force of the attack.
"Say, are you an idiot?" Davies asked, surprised at the reason for his actions,
"You really do have a big mouth huh?" Joshua ignored Davies's question and sent a wave of flames at Davies which ended up just crashing into a wall of ice that Davies conjured and melted it.
"The Lake family must just be really good at training dogs," Davies was getting really irritated at this idiot's actions.
The day had started for him on a great note, he had gotten laid the night before and everything was going well until this idiot popped up the first time. He had ended up going to meet the Lake family at the request of this fool and he had gotten even more irritated and now the idiot was back to make his day even worse.
Suddenly Davies noticed Joshua going through a minor transformation as his fingernails turned into claws, his teeth grew sharper, and a white fur began to grow on his outstretched arms with black stripe markings.
"Oi, it's one thing if you annoy me, but when you begin to make direct attempts at my life…" Davies's voice sounded colder than the ice that he fought with, and his eyes showed no emotions but promised hell to the idiot standing in front of him.
