Brett was engrossed in his elation when he suddenly felt like he was floating. He looked down to see the car in the air and shuddering violently. He could sense Darius' grimness from beside him.Brett squeezed his eyes shut, knowing that he couldn't bear witness to this. Darius had run someone over for his sake. He believed Darius was capable of keeping this matter under wraps. All he had to do was pretend he knew nothing.This was how Brett saw it—Darius would tell him about anything he needed to know. With his abilities, he was better off not knowing anything. And that was why he'd shut his eyes. He said, "Darius, if you don't want me to know about these things, you can cover my ears."Darius' lips twitched. "You mentioned someone backing the Bjorn family up, right? Look, he's here. Don't you wanna see what he looks like?""What?" Brett cried. His eyes shot open and widened in shock.Darius leaned back with an exhale. "At least it wasn't a complete waste of time dealing with that idi

The black-robed person's voice turned cold. "Don't feel so pleased just yet. It wasn't my intention to praise you." He smiled. When Darius didn't respond, he remembered Darius couldn't see his face.He barked out a laugh. "You're the most shameless person I've ever met, Darius. Didn't you want to have a duel with me? Now, I'll show you how weak you are compared to me!"As soon as his words fell, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere. Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled at this. It made the black-robed person uneasy. Neither he nor Darius had moved an inch, but it wasn't because he didn't want to. He couldn't!This shocked the black-robed person. His breathing hitched, and his eyes widened. "What's happening? Why can't I move?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he was sent flying. He landed on the ground with a crash.Darius' smile widened. "So, I realize you've probably never imagined the things that have just happened. Now, you have no choice but to face them. If you can't

Hansley sighed. "I know it's hard for you to believe me, but I'm telling the truth. There's nothing I can do if you don't trust me."Darius put his hands behind his back and nodded. "I understand. Now, I want to know why I could see my father's shadow in you. I don't remember anything about him. After all, I was an infant when he died. But when I saw him earlier, I instantly knew it was him."Hansley looked at him helplessly. "Darius, you're an enlightened martial artist. You should trust your instincts. If they're telling you that shadow belonged to your father, you know it has to be true!"Darius' expression darkened. He looked at Hansley silently. Hansley said, "I know what you're mad about, but it's not something you need to consider. When I was merging with my body, I don't know which part belonged to whom. I believe your father had to go through many rounds of experimenting to become what he is now."Darius' breathing sped up again. Hansley exhaled and said, "Your anger makes me

"You should be proud of the fact that you're still alive and floating. And you mentioned my father earlier, didn't you? That's not something I can sweep under the rug. You probably prepared yourself for a terrible death when you mentioned him," said Darius.He sighed. "I've been kind to you, you know. I haven't done anything to harm you thus far, have I? I allowed you to mock and insult me for so long, yet you don't seem satisfied."Darius shook his head. "I'll give you another chance to speak, but you'd better think before you do. Don't be rash." He swung his hand downward, making the black-robed person slam onto the ground where his legs had been injured.He screamed in pain again and stared at Darius in terror. He felt like Darius was a devil from hell. He gulped, suddenly regretting accepting this mission. His mind raced as he shut his eyes and tried to think of what Darius would want to hear.A few seconds later, he said, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Reid. I shouldn't have mentioned your fa

Darius couldn't help thinking things were more complex than he'd imagined. Though he'd expected this, it still made him feel powerless. This was especially so as he listened to the stories people recounted. He sighed."I already know about these things. Is there anything else that you have yet to mention?" said Darius.The black-robed person's head whipped up in shock. Never had he imagined Darius would already know about these things. He appraised Darius, wanting to see whether he was just bluffing. Soon, he had his answer, but it wasn't the one he wanted.A look of despair crept onto his face. He couldn't detect any trace of Darius lying. As far as he could tell, Darius was being completely honest. It made him tremble. He gulped and said shakily, "N-No, that's it.""I've already told you everything I know. You wouldn't be able to get anything else out of me even if you were to kill me."Darius glanced at him, then at Hansley. Fear washed over them both, and sweat beaded on their for
