The dinner invitation was to be held at IUV Xenon Hotels in two days time, so there was no rush for the both of them to attend it.Darius had to admit that Maxwell Finn had a shrewd look to things. The reason was that Darius had just been discharged from the hospital, so it would be completely counterproductive to invite him to on the day of his discharge.His decision to invite them two days later was a thoughtful one, and even though Darius was heavily biased against the Finn Conglomerate, this at least scored them some brownie points in preparation for the upcoming dinner.The two days passed quickly without any major events happening, and it was now the night for the dinner.Darius who was now in tip top shape put in more effort in his dressing than usual. Usually on occasions like these, he would dress casually, but this time he wanted to strike an impression on Maxwell Finn, and come out as overbearing.No matter what trump card Maxwell Finn had that he thought he could use to e
Darius had a stoic expression on his face as he stared at the man seated beside the table filled with delicacies, and although he couldn’t look at his grandfather’s expression now, he could guess that he had the same stoic expression.Maxwell Finn was relatively handsome, and although he was old now, Darius could tell that he was a playboy in his younger days, and it wasn’t hard to tell where Michael Finn got his impressive looks from.Yet, while there were some similarities between the father and son, there were surely some differences between them.For one, Maxwell did not have the brutal and cunning impression his son had, and he looked somewhat gentle; but that made Darius a bit wary. After all, he knew one of the most basic rules in a meeting like this was never to judge a book by its cover.Although Maxwell Finn might look harmless right now, he could be more cunning and brutal than his son. They had the same blood after all.Maxwell Finn stood up as a sign of respect and welcom
Darius and his grandfather both had shocked expressions on their faces when they heard Maxwell’s words. They understood the gravity of his words which was they were so shocked. According to what Darius knew from his research, the Finn conglomerate had groomed Michael Finn from when he was a kid to be the heir to their conglomerate. Disowning Michael now and kicking him out of the Finn family meant that they wanted nothing to do with him anymore, and that their years of grooming and training him had gone down the drain. You could see why both Darius and his grandfather were shocked at the situation. It was a brutal and heartless decision. Darius turned back to look at Maxwell Finn after his statement. He now re-evaluated Maxwell Finn’s ruthlessness as this decision showed that Maxwell Finn was even more ruthless than his son. Behind the humble and friendly face was a man who would do whatever was necessary to protect the interests of the Finn Conglomerate, and even his own blood wa
The urgent ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts.He frowned. He had a feeling. When he picked up the phone, He heard Rudd's voice come through the phone, he was about to cry.”I know I shouldn't talk about this, especially to you.You just have a little wealth to live a normal life, but I really, really need some help.”Darius only had a few friends, Rudd was one of them. This man had helped him when he was charged for $5000 in the police station. Without him, he might never have a chance to meet his grandfather. ”Where are you,Rudd? How much do you need?” ”You sounds as stupid as your friend, are you really as rich as your friend says? You need to pay loads of money to get your friend out or perhaps I can sell him abroad to make money for me.” A man said with laughter on the phoneDarius instantly became angry hearing this, he could feel the Adrenaline moving through his veins! He tried to keep calm.”I’m afraid this is against the laws of our nation.”The person on the
He took out his phone and called Bruce “I want to know if my friend was threatened at the casino.”“Dear young master, I have investigated it clearly, but the master thinks it would be better to find out by yourself as you arrive there”He did not understand his grandfather's intention. He hung up the phone and continued to read the documents.Then, he saw the name on the document that made him vomit.‘Dream Investment Group.'Darius' fist gradually turned as hard as a stone, and the tone of his voice was no longer calm, “Alan Roberts, you better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you, or else you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!”Just as the words left his mouth, he heard the pilot's nice voice, “Young master, we'll be landing in three minutes, so please get ready.”Darius put the tea cup back, sat on the sofa, and closed his eyes.The plane landed smoothly and the door opened quickly.Darius looked at the green grass and frowned “what is this place?”He
Darius did not know what people were thinking behind him. He only knew that he had been delayed for a long time, and that Rudd was waiting for his help. It was said that in the casinos of Slokus State, their eyes were wide when they killed people, even the blood flowing into their mouths would not make their faces change in any way. Darius picked up his pace the moment he hit the ground and practically bounced out. The two pilots, a man and a woman, followed him. The poor security guard on the ground was left unattended, only kneeling on the ground, watching in awe as Darius' back disappeared into the distance. His mouth trembled fiercely as he stood up and wobbled back to his post. On the other hand, Darius exited the airport in Slokus State. Unlike other places, It was a casino outside, not stores or restaurants. He didn't see a taxi neither did the two pilots. After waiting for a long time, just as Darius was about to walk. The two pilots came out. While panti
The expression on Darius' face was showing the seriousness of his heart. The woman's face changed. She had lost control of her body when she saw the card. She recognized this card! Everyone had to recognize this card during pee-employment training! So that they could serve the Reid family better. She had fantasied about earning a chance to enter the Reid family, and then, she would be Mrs. Reid. But she couldn't believe that the man she had been waiting for for so long was insulted to the point of anger by her. She stood still, all stiff, with only her eyes, still able to move, looking at the card, and began to think what she could do to salvage the situation now. Darius, however, put the card in his pocket “Now, can I get in?” The woman saw the expression on Darius' face and still found herself unable to accept it. With her eyes on Darius' back as he walked toward the casino doors, she suddenly screamed, “Stop! You liar! I know who you are, and you can't go in!”
The manager cautiously shot a sidewayssmirk at Darius before lowering her head. “My apologies, but I can’t recognizethe brand of his clothes as it doesn’t seem well known. However, his clothes dolook expensive.”Darius could tell the former’s tone wasfull of mockery.That was when a confident voice said on theother end of the call, “If an article of clothing has no brand, it must be acustom piece. I doubt someone that capable would show up at our casino.Likewise, there’s no way this poor little boy would ever be acquainted withsomeone so wealthy.”The situation seemed like a joke to Darius,who kept silent the entire time and kept his hands in his pockets. Even so, hisfrosty eyes sent chills down everyone’s spines. Darius eventually reached outto knock on the table twice before retorting, “Aren’t I supposed to grant yourbusiness more wealth through my patronage? Why did no one welcome me? Instead,you left me out here alone. Is this how your fancy casino treats itscustomer
