This time, the phone call rang for quite some time, but there was no response. Just when Darius thought that the person would not pick up the phone call, the line connected."Hello. I want the tech team of-" Darius started saying, but was rudely interrupted before he could complete his sentence."Who is this?" A man answered lazily. He sounded like he had been taking a nap, and had just been woken by the phone call.Darius frowned at the man's interruption and lazy tone, but answered anyway."This is Darius Reid." Darius answered flatly."Darius Reid?" The man asked mockingly before bursting out into laughter. "If you are Darius Reid, then I am Weiss Mosley!" the man said mockingly. Weiss Mosley was the founder and chairman of the Mosley Financial Group, so it was obvious that the caller didn't believe that he was truly Darius Reid, the well known head of the Reid Consortium."Here I was thinking this was an important call!" The man grumbled angrily and disconnected the phone call.D
Alice woke up in the black sedan with the four burly men who kidnapped her.She was squeezed in between them in the backseat of the sedan, and as the sedan drove at high speed, she was greatly affected when the driver drove right past some potholes. The potholes made her unbalanced, and she came into close contact with the two burly kidnappers beside her.She was very terrified of the burly men, so she dared not voice her discomfort at how uncomfortable she was.Alice remained as still as a quiet lake as the sedan drove, and it was unknown how long the sedan drove for, but just when her butt was beginning to get numb, the sedan came to a stop.The four burly men alighted from the black sedan in hurried steps and roughly pulled Alice out of the vehicle.Alice screamed from fright, but before she could scream even further, a crisp sound was heard, and a burning sensation spread in her cheeks.One of the burly kidnappers had slapped her.“Shut up! One more sound from you and it won’t en
Michael and Alice both had surprised looks on their faces. They were extremely shocked to see Darius walking past the door.Darius sudden entrance relieved and delighted Alice, who was about to agree to Michael's demand.She got up from her knees and threw herself into Darius’ arms. Her actions inevitably softened the icy expression he had on his face.The moment Alice sank into his arms, all the fear she felt from the moment of her kidnap to this current moment melted away, and she cried loudly. She had never felt so secured before in her life, and different turbulent emotions rocked her.A dark expression appeared on Michael’s face as he watched Alice throw herself at Darius. He was incredibly furious at the moment.“How did you find us?!” Michael yelled angrily. He had spent a lot of money to build this cabin in the middle of the forest, so that he wouldn’t be easily discovered by the police or private detectives. However, it had been less than 12 hours since his subordinates kidnap
Outside the cabin, more than six police helicopters shone their bright lights on the cabin, and more than sixteen police vehicles surrounded the cabin.The policemen all alighted the vehicles fully armed with weapons and trained them on the cabin and were ready to shoot at a moment’s notice.“This is the police! Keep your hands in the air and exit the cabin obediently; otherwise we will be obligated to use forceful means.” A police officer who seemed to be in charge of the rescue operation said loudly.Michael, who maintained his composure during the duration of Darius’ fight with the kidnappers could not maintain his composure when faced with such an extravagant line up of policemen.“What are they doing here?!” Michael yelled loudly, his face paling in horror. The appearance of the police made him incredibly panicked.As the current head of the Finn conglomerate, he could not be involved in any controversial issues, or the hard work he and his ancestors had put to grow the Finn cong
Beads of sweat drooped down Darius’ face when faced with the menacing pistol in Michael’s hand. The safety of the pistol was off, and the moment Michael pulled the trigger, a bullet would be embedded in Darius’ heart. Darius felt genuine fear when faced with the gun trained on his heart. He wasn’t a fool, so he knew that with the amount of training he had now, there was no absolutely no way he could dodge a bullet. The instant Michael shot him, Darius would be a goner. Alice’s eyes widened in shock and horror the second she saw the menacing pistol in Michael’s hands; and her heart started pounding rapidly. Her blood immediately ran cold, and she had never felt so much fear in her life before. “Wait!” Darius bellowed loudly just as Michael was about to pull the trigger. Michael paused and looked at Darius with a sinister gaze; while the police officers outside the cabin moved closer to the cabin the moment they saw a firearm in Michael’s hands. “Do you have any last words?” Michael
“What do you mean by you lost him?!” The chief police officer in charge of the kidnapping case yelled into the walkie-talkie.The police officer with the walkie-talkie grimaced at his superior’s harsh tone. He knew that they would be receiving an earful the moment he returned from the search.“It’s exactly what I said chief. There’s no track anymore. We can’t find him at all. It’s almost as if he just disappeared from the forest.” The police officer replied bitterly.“And you want me to believe that?!” The chief police officer yelled angrily.“Chief-”“Never mind. I shouldn’t have trusted you lot with something so important. Come back now; and don’t let me wait for you more than necessary!” The chief police officer yelled furiously and ended the conversation.The police officer sighed and raised his head to the other police officers before yelling.“Stop searching and pack up! We’re going back!”The police officers obeyed his orders and started packing, and in less than a minute, the
The moment the doctor exited the operation theatre; Alice, Darius’ grandfather and Bruce all rushed forward to meet him. They were very anxious about the outcome of the surgery, and the last few hours of wait was very torturous to them.“How is my grandson?! Is he okay?!” Darius’ grandfather asked in a voice that left no room for a negative response.The doctor gulped when faced with Darius’ grandfather’s questioning. He didn’t know much about the old man in front of him, but from his regal demeanor, he could tell that he was not someone he could offend. His years of experience as a surgeon told him that.“Your grandson is very alright sir. The surgery was a 100% success; and it’s only a matter of time before he is back to full health.” The doctor said carefully, afraid that any of his words would anger the old man in front of him.Luckily; the old man didn’t get angry at his words, and only breathed out a sigh of relief. Alice also made use of this opportunity to slip away from Dariu
Greg and his friends’ astonishment were very understandable; as the person who entered the room was none other than Janet Fox, the number two beauty in Kingston University! Janet was dressed casually, her blonde hair tied into a lazy ponytail. However, her casual dress did nothing to hide her ethereal like beauty and her hourglass shape. Her beauty was even more pronounced by the casual clothing she wore. “Darius! What happened to you?” Janet asked worriedly the moment she entered the room, and did something completely shocking the next moment and threw herself right on to Darius who lay on the bed! Greg, Marcus and Rudd all had extremely shocked expression on their faces, like they had just seen a fish run on land. This was the second ranked beauty in Kingston University! How on earth did Darius manage to get so close to Janet Fox?! Darius was also quite shocked himself, if not more shocked at Janet’s behavior. While they knew each other, they could certainly be called acquaintan
