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
Hansley lay on the ground, trembling with fear. "D-Darius, you can't do this! You're already an enlightened martial artist. Killing me won't do you any good!" His eyes darted around as he tried to find Darius. Unfortunately, the black dragons were all he could see.Then, the pain was all he could feel. He shouted, "Darius, you're an inhumane monster! I treated you well after your father's death. Is this how you're repaying me?"Darius raised an eyebrow. His bloodlust grew stronger. Never in his life had he wanted to kill someone so badly. He frowned.After a few seconds, he stretched out an arm and focused his gaze on Hansley. He stopped suppressing his life force. All he wanted was to go along with what his heart desired.Darius didn't know his eyes were slowly turning red. His skin was also turning black from the life force. With these changes, more and more life force gathered around him. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. It was an eerie sight.Hansley was still on the ground. He
"Since you've successfully merged your body and soul, it's only right for me to give you a gift. I'm your apprentice, after all," said Darius.Hansley didn't dare look up. He knew it was likely he would die, though. He tried to sneak a glance at Teivel without lifting his head. In the next second, he shut his eyes.Teivel was even scarier than Darius. He didn't dare look at him any longer. Darius and Teivel both noticed this.Teivel couldn't care less about him, but Darius snorted. His gaze was angry as he looked at Teivel. He said, "Sir, this guy tried to impersonate my father."I tried to have a proper conversation with him, but he kept lying. Most of his consciousness now comprises my father's soul shards, except for the heart of his soul. That still belongs to him. And—"Darius stopped abruptly and dropped his eyes to his feet. The black life force started swirling around him again. He shut his eyes, looking pained. "He told me the heart of my father's soul was used to build tha
Tears immediately streaked down Hansley's face. "I don't know anything about that, I swear!"Teivel snorted. "I bet you don't know I can probe your memories."Hansley's crying stopped abruptly. His eyes widened in disbelief. Darius said coldly, "Mr. Teivel already told me about my father."Hansley stiffened. It had never crossed his mind that some people were powerful enough to probe someone else's memories without permission. This was unbelievable!Hansley's eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his head, looking pleased. "I don't know who you are, old man, but you and Darius need to—"He stopped abruptly. Darius put his hands behind him and watched him curiously. He could see the changes in Hansley's eyes. The emotions were in such conflict that they couldn't belong to the same person.Darius' eyes lit up as he turned to look at Teivel. Teivel looked calm, but the surprise in his eyes was plain. He glanced at Darius, then nodded. He looked conflicted, but his good wishes for Darius co
