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
Darius' mind raced. He started thinking about everything the black-robed person had said. The black-robed person had given in to him and done as he'd said because of something he'd done. Then, he'd started picking on Hansley.There was also the fact that the organization Darius had eradicated was back in full force. This time, they were ready for him. They had plenty of tricks and were ready to use them on him. But this all depended on how Hansley acted with him.It was obvious they wanted to end Hansley's life instead of acknowledging his contributions. Darius raised an eyebrow at this.He looked down at Hansley and said, "Do you see it now? Your life means nothing to them. They can kill you at the slightest sign of mistrust."Hansley looked up at him and smiled bitterly. "I know. Shortly after joining them, I regretted it. The way they treated me after I joined them wasn't better than when they were still threatening me." He shut his eyes as a lone tear rolled down his face.Darius
At the same time, Darius raised a hand to eye level. Under the black-robed person's and Hansley's confused gazes, a black and golden ball of life force formed in his palm. Darius moved his hand to the side and looked at the black-robed person.The black-robed person trembled. He'd never seen anything like this before. He'd never even heard of people having a golden life force, let alone being able to cultivate two types of life forces. He knew that anyone who could possess a life force that he'd never seen or heard of had to be powerful.And the fact that Darius had two types of life forces proved he was powerful beyond imagination. He couldn't even think of anyone who stood a chance against him, let alone defeat him.When Darius saw the dazed look on his face, he turned away. He said, "I'm taking Hansley with me. Think about what I said. I'll be back in ten minutes to hear your answer." With that, Darius grabbed Hansley and left.The black-robed person stared into the distance. When
Chapter 1086 Detect##Darius said hoarsely, "You're lying to me."Hansley shuddered, then looked at Darius in disbelief. He thought he'd hidden the truth well. He didn't expect Darius to see right through him. Were his instincts as an enlightened martial artist capable of this?Maybe Darius was bluffing. He was trying to fluster him so he'd come clean out of fear. Hansley felt he was right to think this way.He looked Darius in the eye and said, "I'm your father's friend, Darius. Do you realize how rude you're being by treating me like this?"Darius snorted and pointed at his forehead. "Look at me."Hansley did as he was told. All he could see was Darius' flawless forehead. He was about to say something along those lines when he saw the sneer on Darius' face. It made his blood run cold. He decided to remain silent and looked at Darius dazedly.Darius' gaze turned contemptuous. He never expected his father's friend to turn out like this. Despite his fear, Hansley was still trying to ha
To the black-robed person's surprise, Darius raised an eyebrow. Then, he gave him a mocking look. "You seem excited." As he spoke, he pulled his phone out. He didn't take his eyes off Hansley as he did this. This made Hansley's joy and excitement die down.Hansley could see the mockery in Darius' eyes. He trembled uncontrollably. Darius looked away from Hansley and at his phone. Hansley sagged in relief at this, but it only lasted for a second. In the next second, he met Darius' gaze again.His breathing hitched. He'd never felt this nervous in his life. Darius could only roll his eyes at Hansley's cowardice. "You thought I was gonna answer the phone, didn't you?" He smiled disdainfully.Hansley gulped nervously. At the same time, his heart sank. He knew Darius wasn't gonna answer the phone, but he couldn't help staring at it. He imagined himself making a run for it while Darius was on the phone. It would be nothing but a dream.He looked like he was on the verge of a breakdown. Dariu
Hansley would rather die than experience the pain of having his soul ripped apart again. He looked at Darius and said agitatedly, "Darius, your father and I were friends for many years. I've been helping him search for his soul shards all these years."He trembled as he spoke. His gaze became pleading. "Please, I'm begging you. Get someone else to operate on me. You can't imagine the pain—"Darius cut him off. "I may not be able to imagine how painful it is, but don't you think my father knows what it's like?" His gaze was cold.Hansley couldn't continue. It was obvious that Darius knew everything. He hadn't exposed his lies from the beginning because he'd been waiting. He wanted to see Hansley make a fool of himself.Hansley was ashen as he asked hoarsely, "Is this really how you want things to go?"Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Of course. I already told you that I only pay attention to the results."Hansley stared at him for a long time. Darius slowly frowned. It was a sign
Hansley looked at Darius sincerely. Darius raised an eyebrow. He could feel his life force acting up. It wanted to absorb Hansley's life force. Though Darius had never learned anything about this, he knew what to do to control it.He also knew his current agitation was a result of absorbing the life force around him. It didn't worry him. Instead, he was more worried about him losing control of his emotions. The black life force easily affected them. Hansley's words didn't help the situation. They only infuriated him more.Darius worried that he'd lose control and allow the black life force to push him over the edge. Maybe he'd do something terrible, like suck all the life out of Hansley. This thought lodged itself in Darius' mind. He shut his eyes again and exhaled.To take his mind off that thought, he said, "Tell me how it happened. How did I destroy my father's heart?"Hansley stammered, "The hospital you destroyed was made out of your father's heart."This time, Darius was ready.
Darius looked like he was ready to murder him. Hansley trembled uncontrollably as terror washed over him. This was totally different from what he'd imagined. Things weren't supposed to play out like this.Darius wasn't grateful to him. Instead, he wanted to kill him! Hansley's mind raced as he tried to think of something to get out of this situation. Unfortunately, he had his head in the clouds. He didn't know how scheming he looked.Darius watched him coldly. "Nothing you say is gonna change the situation."Hansley immediately lost the will to fight. There was no doubt that Darius would kill him. He couldn't and wouldn't hold out hope anymore.Darius said coldly, "You knew my actions would harm my father. Yet, you stood by and watched me do it." He exhaled. He utterly regretted not killing Hansley the first chance he'd got. It was the situation with the Evans family all over again."There's something you need to get straight, though. I was originally gonna let you off the hook, but I
