FATED TO BE THE BAD GUY

' Our King family is head of Bluesky Agency (BSA). I'm BSA, we carry out experiments to find vaccine to various ailments, we train individuals who later graduate to the royal guard. But the most dangerous unit of BSA has to be secret agents. They hunt down very dangerous criminals and bring them for interrogation or simply eliminate them. They can also infiltrate the enemy's territory to get information. Basically BSA is an agency that was designed to assist the royal family in whatever way possible. The leadership of BSA has been passed down from our family for the last 21 generations and now I want to pass that mantle to you. Although the glory and fortune accompanying this title is great, the risks are no less. It is very risky as so many dangerous organisations are out to silence us. Most importantly you can't do it alone and you need to be careful of whose help you seek. It is a rewarding, dangerous and sometimes lonely journey. If you aren't careful, the ones closest to you might hurt you when you least expect it. Just like your mother.' Old man King says.

' Mother's death wasn't an accident?' Jade asks but it was more of a statement than a question.

' Your mom had a best friend, Damien. He was the most talented agent in BSA. He was a great researcher and a powerful assassin but then he started to want more than what he had. More recognition, more rewards, more power. He tried to talk to your mother about absconding BSA to start their own brand where they didn't need to hide from the world. But your mom refused and then Damien went missing and so did a powerful nuclear plant. We weren't that worried as he would need a special chemical to activate the nuclear plant and it was in our most protected vault. One night we received intel that Damien might try to break into BSA, Jane went ahead of him to see if she could reason with him. We waited for a while and so know sign of them and then we began panicking. In the wee hours of the morning, we received a distress call of a fire outbreak at the desolate part of the city and when we got there it was too late. The place was completely burnt down and I could recognise a few parts of....' Old man King clenched his jaws, his eyes red.

Jade finally understood something. This was the original Jade's fate. This was her fate.

It wouldn't matter if she placed herself in a coffin and buried it underground, it wouldn't matter if she left Green Haven country, it wouldn't matter if she went to a nunnery to become a nun. No matter what she did, she couldn't steer clear of her fate as a villain. There would always be bad people after her life and her only way to survive would be to eliminate them first before they got her.

And she wasn't planning to run away. The only way to not fear the boss, is to become the boss.

*sigh* It seemed like the salted fish lifestyle wasn't for her.

System Jade was silently digesting the fact that her mother's death was caused by a supposed best friend.

' Don't worry. When we reach the pinnacle of power, we'll show those traitors who's boss.' Jade comforts.

Jade looks up to see Old man King looking at her obviously awaiting an answer.

' Great grandfather, there's no denying the dangers of this responsibility. But the rewards are no less but, I am currently not strong enough to take over such huge responsibility.' Jade says.

' I understand.' Old man King says, his eyes slightly drooping.

' You didn't let me finish great grandfather. I am currently not strong enough yet , But I will be. As you said, I need trustworthy allies as it is dangerous for me to do it alone. And the moment I take control, I shall be surrounded by wolves in sheep clothing. I need to organise my allies, expand my knowledge so I won't walk blindly into a dark cave. I hope you understand great grandfather.' Jade says.

Old man King's eyes shone. As expected the children will eventually surpass their parents. Such wisdom!

' You are absolutely right. I will teach you everything you need to know, no rush.' Old man King says.

' One more thing great grandfather, I dont intend to make BSA my only career path. But rest assured I won't fail in my responsibility.' Jade replied.

' Good good good. I didn't dote on you for nothing.' Old man King says happily.

Butler Jerry coughs twice and he lightly tapped Old man King's shoulder. Old man King's expression becomes serious.

' Who was the person who attempted to hurt you last night?' Old man King says.

' Wendy Thompson.' Jade replies.

' The nerve of that woman. I will teach her a lesson.' Old man King says through gritted teeth.

' Great grandfather don't be hasty. Wendy Thompson seems to have a powerful backer. Right now she can only use this petty tricks to trouble me because she underestimates me because of my age but if we go all out on her, she'll increase her vigilance and we'll be in the open while our enemy in the dark. Great Grandfather I have a plan already.' Jade whispered something to the two men and their eyes widened and then they nodded their head approvingly.

' That's a very good idea. My little girl has really grown up.' Old man King says sighing.

' Great grandfather, I need your help with something. I need you to arrange to send two people to the capital city.' Jade says and Old man King sends someone to arrange it.

' Finally great grandfather, I need to cancel my engagement with Liam Lincoln.' Jade says
