The ride back to the Reid mansion was smooth and uneventful. Both Bruce and Darius remained silent for the entirety of the journey. The reason was because he had nothing to say to Darius, and moreover, he could see that Darius didn’t want to be disturbed at all; therefore he chose to remain quiet.Darius didn’t notice Bruce stealing occasional glances at him. He was far too deep in his thoughts at the moment.The assailant that attacked him was not a citizen of S country; so did this mean that his enemy was a foreigner? And if the enemy was actually a foreigner, how then was he able to spread his roots in S country?Furthermore, the motive behind the attack was still unknown by Darius. His grandfather had only warned him about his safety prior to the attack, but didn’t mention anything about the motive behind their attack.He found it hard to believe that anyone would go ahead and try to hurt him brazenly despite his identity as the heir and current head of the Reid consortium, but hi
The following morning, Darius awoke later than usual. This was anticipated because of his extreme exhaustion from the previous day's events. He noticed that it was already 11 am when he looked at the time.He got out of bed and drank a bottle of water before going about his morning routine. Darius had no idea he had become a martial artist, so he meditated before practicing his usual martial arts moves, as instructed in the tattered book.Unbeknownst to him, those martial arts moves were no longer appropriate for him. They were only useful when he wasn't a fully developed martial artist. He needed to alter his martial arts techniques now that he was a fully awakened martial artist because otherwise, he would make little to no progress at all.He finished his morning routine a few minutes later. He stripped naked; exposing his ridiculously toned body, and went into the bathroom for a quick shower. After he finished showering, he changed into some casual clothing before leaving his room
The drive to the SVL Royal Hotel was a smooth and uneventful one. After more than 45 minutes of driving, Darius arrived at his destination.Darius parked the car neatly and alighted from the vehicle. Just a simple glance at the cars parked told Darius how luxurious of a place SVL Royal Hotel was. It was even more impressive and lavish than the Sky Golden Hotel back at Kingston district. However, he didn’t think too much about this. He then walked confidently towards the entrance to the hotel.Two very muscular security guards were stationed at the entrance to the hotel. Darius was an awakened martial artist now so he could vaguely feel the strength of the two security guards. Although he felt he could easily defeat them, the fact that they could threaten him slightly proved that the security guards were elite.The two security guards frowned slightly when they saw Darius approaching them confidently. He had come to the hotel dressed in the same casual clothing he wore back in the Reid
The man who arrived extravagantly with the six Maybach vehicles was of course none other than Tyrell Sanders, the head of the Sanders Group.In truth, SVL Royal Hotel belonged to the Sanders Group; but Tyrell Sanders was a very busy man, so he rarely visited the hotel. However, the case was different this time.He was supposed to meet with James Reid and discuss an extremely important business deal, but James had cancelled at the last moment, opting to send his grandson instead. Tyrell didn’t think too much of it, as the business deal was already at its concluding stages. All he needed to do was to sign the documents and finish some procedures.The meeting with James Reid was actually supposed to be held the next day, but James had cancelled it and put the meeting today. Tyrell was in a board meeting when his secretary informed him of the changes to the date; and the moment he was informed, he immediately put a stop to the board meeting and adjourned it for a later date before hastily
SVL Royal Hotel was really worthy of being the best hotel in the district. The interior of the hotel was twice as luxurious as that of the Sky Golden Hotel, with expensive and deluxe chandeliers hung on the ceilings and several other lavish decorations lining the hotel lobby.Tyrell sneaked a glance at Darius as he stared at the interior decorations and a wave of accomplishment washed over him when he saw that Darius was impressed by the decorations.Their arrival in the lobby attracted attention from the few prominent people in the lobby, which was expected, because not only was Tyrell the owner of the SVL Royal Hotel, he had over ten bodyguards with him.Nonetheless, when they saw Tyrell being humble to a young man in his early twenties, they were shocked beyond comprehension, and very curious about the young man’s identity.Just seconds later after Tyrell and Darius entered the hotel lobby, a male receptionist walked up to them hurriedly. He knew who Tyrell was, so he was incredibl
Bang!A gunshot sound echoed in the car park, and a split second later, a bodyguard fell to the ground and lay motionless.He was dead.Tyrell's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the body of the murdered bodyguard. He was certain that the bullet was intended for him, but he was pushed away at the last second by Darius, resulting in the bodyguard taking the bullet in his place.Tyrell’s eyes clouded over in grief at the bodyguard’s dead body, before rage seeped into them. The gunshot was a lethal one, as the bullet pierced his bodyguard’s heart, killing him on the spot.Whoever the shooter was intended to end his life immediately, and not give him a chance to survive even with the help of world class medical specialists. There was no way he was going to let such a person go scot free.“Go after him!” Tyrell yelled furiously and pointed at the direction the gunshot came from. If looks could kill, Darius was sure that the shooter would be six feet under already.“Do not let him escape
Darius drove as fast as he could, paying little heed to the traffic rules as he drove. He couldn’t care less about the traffic rules now, especially now that he had the injured old man with him.After driving speedily for more than thirty minutes, Darius finally got to the hospital. He should have gotten to the hospital much later as the distance was quite far, but because of his high speed, he was able to get there earlier.The moment he got to the hospital, he called the paramedics over, after which they put the injured old man on a stretcher.Darius walked with them as they wheeled the injured old man into the hospital. It was then he took a closer look at the old man.Even though there was a significant amount of blood on the old man, Darius could see his body clearly. The old man looked to be in his mid sixties, and had a very developed body. He seemed very fit with a muscular body for an old man. It made Darius wonder how the old man was unable to avoid being hit by his vehicle.
When Emily, the nurse who was speaking to Vera, turned around and saw the middle-aged woman, her eyes widened in surprise.“Director Yul!” Emily exclaimed in surprise.The middle aged woman with a haughty demeanor was none other than the Director of Serene Hospital. Of course, as the Director of the hospital, she had a very high status in the hospital.“Emily, what is the issue?” Director Yul asked with a frown on her face.Emily hesitated to respond to the Director, but Director Yul glared at her. Emily had no choice but to recount the events that had led up to this situation. She did, however, leave out several details about when she paid for the treatments with her own allowance fees. She was aware of how difficult Director Yul could be, and she didn't want to make things more difficult for Vera.As Emily narrated the incidents, the frown on her face grew increasingly prominent. By the time Emily was done, she was sporting a very huge frown on her face.She turned to Vera who was s
