Shelvin candidly revealed, “I found Yarlyn’s memory about a training ground with cruel practices. The Eastern countries’ forces have banned the group that started the training ground. The group wanted to achieve immortality, so they tried absorbing the lives of others to extend their own. All their immense efforts in developing the drug? That’s all for this sole but grotesque reason. They did many unethical and illegal things, but at some point, they got exposed. Many were furious at them, despite their many superior social standings and power. The group couldn’t fend against the righteous backlash, so their experiments failed. The group got given death sentences, but they were sly and sweet-talked the countries’ forces to spare them. In the end, they merely got deported. Because this happened long ago when people didn’t keep written records, the Eastern forces weren’t aware that other human beings existed on the other continents. Thus, the forces assumed deporting the group would ens

Darius held his breath the moment he saw Donald’s state. Perhaps he was wrong from the start; he should have never let Uriah take Donald into a holding cell. Maybe that way, Donald would not have gotten hurt this badly. Drowning in absolute guilt, Darius hated himself for trusting Uriah and being useless against Uriah’s abuse toward Donald. All of that set off another bout of rage in Darius. Thus, when Uriah pointed at Erin disrespectfully, Darius did not hesitate to shoot a bolt of life force toward Uriah. Even so, he did not exert much life force as he did not want to grant Uriah such a swift death. Uriah was unsure of what had happened, but he felt a robust burst of wind slam into his body, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the impact sent his body flying a distance away. He could even feel the wind blowing against his skin so harshly that it cut every inch of his arms. The worst part was Uriah’s back collided with the wall, but he did not fall onto

As Uriah’s forehead dripped with sweat, he heard a familiar laugh from the hallway. Right away, he put on a cocky grin and exclaimed, “Hah! Take that, Darius! Have you finally realized how much of a fool you are? Do you know who’s that person laughing outside your hotel room?”His haughty gaze landed on Darius for a brief moment before vanishing entirely. Soon, he pursed his lips in fear when he heard Darius’ reply.“Your boss. Anyway, I’m glad you’re happy to see him. Let’s hope you can continue to stay this happy.” With that, Darius shifted his stern gaze toward the door.Similarly, Uriah lay on the ground and stared eagerly at the door while murmuring under his breath, “Just you wait, Darius! Death will deliver its final blow upon you soon enough!”Darius’ stoic gaze abruptly snapped toward Uriah. Although he did not say or do anything, his stare was enough to make the hairs down Uriah’s back stand straighter. Intimidated, Uriah shut his mouth but looked ahead with glimmering eyes

“I didn’t kill him because I don’t think his mistakes warrant such a grave punishment,” said Darius, whose hands were behind his back as he strolled toward Uriah. Then, he smiled and added, “But it’s obvious you’re displeased with my decision.”Uriah lay on the ground, shutting his eyes and finally realizing how he had taken the wrong side this entire time. One could even say he was at fault from the beginning for doubting Darius. Despite that, Uriah could not suppress his skepticism toward everything; after all, Uriah felt things were going smoothly before this moment. Laying on the ground, he loosened his clenched jaw and stared into the space with a blank expression. Uriah began to question everything around him but kept those feelings to himself. Silence filled the room as he pondered when things turned against him.That was when Darius’ gaze briefly swept past the former. The quick look was enough to inform Darius what the former was thinking. Hence, he looked at Bryce with a s

Bryce paled, his knees buckling once he heard the person speak on the phone—it was his superior.“This is Bryan Weiss’ phone. Who is this?” Bryce fell to his knees almost instantly, gazing at Darius nervously. He could no longer keep himself upright in that instant. His eyes trembled so much that they nearly fell out of their sockets.Sensing the former’s anxiousness, Darius smirked and replied, “It’s Darius.”The voice on the phone immediately adopted a respectful tone. “Oh! I’m honored to speak with you, Mr. Reid! May I know why you’ve called me?”A smile curved on Darius’ face, but it was merely due to formality rather than him showing his sincere joy. He spun on his heel to look at Bryce and snarl, “I believe you and I need to discuss my investment into your police force.”Two seconds of silence passed before Bryan chuckled sheepishly. Wanting to appease Darius, he asked with a tone of flattery, “Would you like to discuss it over the phone, or shall I head to your hotel?”Darius
