“How is this possible? I must be dreaming!”Darius stopped in his tracks upon hearing that. He then looked at Adulayev, who was too afraid to speak, before saying, “I believe you’re aware of what has just happened.”Fear swirled in Adulayev’s eyes.He never imagined his new boss to be such a terrifying person. Feeling shaken up, he kept gulping, not daring to do anything else.Adulayev never once believed a person with so much money could exist. However, it did not matter what he thought, as the truth had now appeared before him. On top of that, he was the only member who survived the wrath of such an elite tycoon.He cautiously trailed behind Darius with his gaze on the ground, too frightened to straighten his back.Darius could sense Adulayev’s anxiety and fear, despite looking ahead. He then turned to tell the latter, “Don’t worry. You made the right choice.”A smile graced his face as he resumed, “You can stay here and watch what’s about to happen if you’ve got some spare time.”Adulayev
“Those who snickered will be sent to prison, where they’ll pay for all their previous wrongdoings. As for those who didn’t snicker, I’ll let you off the hook by only taking your assets as punishment,” Darius declared.All six members opposite him paled drastically.Their legs wobbled like jelly as they lost all their willpower. Desperate, they wanted to grovel at Darius' feet and plead for his forgiveness, but they did not do so.Their pride stood in the way. They clung to the hope that Darius had likely made many enemies. They felt one of those enemies would try to take Darius down. An example was Murray Hotel’s backer, Dream Investment Group, whom they figured could eventually get rid of Darius. Thus, they decided to wait for that to happen.Little did they know how wrong they were.Dream Investment Group would never do anything to Darius again as they knew they were no match for him. The company’s boss had also lost a competent bodyguard while trying to assassinate Darius. Although a new
Darius turned around and opened his mouth to say something. Before he could, he heard someone call out his name from behind. This surprised him because no one here knew who he was. Yet, there was no denying what had happened. His curiosity was piqued.He turned back to see a woman running toward him. She was getting closer.Darius put his hands in his pockets. He didn’t say anything.As she approached him, he got a clear look at her face. However, her figure was what caught his attention—especially her long legs encased in pantyhose.Her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath, and it was all everyone present could see.She seemed to realize this and tried her best to slow her breathing. Gradually, she regained her composure. Only then did Darius' gaze move from her chest to her face.He had to admit that she was a beauty, but it was still no match for her delectable figure.He looked down and noticed her nervous expression. “Were you the one who called my name earlier?”The woman nodded
Darius didn’t want to spare Frederica even a single look. He could see her excitement and intentions, especially when her gaze was trained on him. He wanted to leave, and so he did.He didn’t expect her to appear before him and stop him from leaving. He sighed. “Is there anything else you need from me, Miss Kuster?”Frederica’s face became nervous when she heard him address her so formally. She started to tremble and sounded nervous as she said, “Mr. Reid, I want to buy you a meal as thanks for sharing some of your wealth with me. I’m also grateful that you didn’t ask me to repay you in any way, not even with my body.” She bowed her head.Darius was unmoved. He knew what she meant, but he wasn’t interested. Therefore, he said coldly, “I’m not going to eat with you, and I have my reasons. Firstly, I need you to repay me—by achieving what I wanted you to. Secondly, as I said earlier, I don’t have much time.”When he was done saying what he wanted to, he didn’t move. It wasn’t because he didn
Darius heard the woman’s breathing speed up even more, showing her nervousness.He looked pleased with himself, and he stood up straighter. “I’m also guessing that she’s quite pretty and has blond hair. She’s probably also wearing a white lace mask.”The woman heard this. She wondered how he could tell what her hair was like from this angle and whether she’d accidentally left a strand behind. She was so focused on this train of thought that she didn’t register what he’d said about the mask.By the time she did, it was too late. The curtains before her were suddenly drawn, and her mind went blank.It was good that Darius had prepared for this situation—the woman let go of the window and started falling from the twenty-eighth floor.Fortunately for her, Darius caught her and dragged her back up into the office. The sudden rippling of his muscles made his brand-new shirt tear open.When the woman fell to the floor, her chest pressed against his bare arm, and her top was extremely low-cut. She l
This was beyond Darius’ expectations. He widened his eyes in surprise and was curious to know how Doris dealt with that.He glanced at her, but she didn’t look too happy. She didn’t want him to know how vicious she could be, but she could not shut Erin up. So, she bowed her head to hide her face from Darius.Erin saw this, but it didn’t matter. She wouldn’t do what Doris wanted, anyway. She said, “She had a small blade to protect herself, so she whipped it out and stabbed the man in the groin before running away.”Darius’ lip twitched. He was about to say something to mock Doris, but Erin didn’t give him a chance to. While trying to conceal her laughter, she said, “Sir, if I were you, I wouldn’t be too happy. What I’m going to tell you next about what she used to do will surprise you and make you mad.”This was his first time seeing Erin like this, and he was very curious to know what she was going to say.Erin said, “Every person Miss Gray stole from was affluent but had done plenty of ill
She pulled her phone out of her pocket as she spoke. She kept a hand over her gaping mouth for the next ten minutes. After a long while, she turned to look at Darius, “I’m so sorry about this. I had no idea you were so unfortunate.”Darius’ expression turned cold. No one had ever described him as unfortunate before. His lips couldn’t stop twitching. He couldn’t even think of the right words to describe his feelings. In the end, he chose to remain silent.This didn’t mean that his office was silent as well. Doris’ voice was getting louder and louder.Darius crossed his arms and leaned against the wall while observing her. She was pretty and had plenty of room to grow, but how she made a living limmited her potential. That wasn’t good, and he couldn’t just stand aside and watch while it happened. So, he walked out of the room while she continued screeching.He said, “Erin, I need you to find her an appropriate community college.”Erin was a bit suprised. She knew Darius was kind, and even if
Darius smirked a little at the look on her face. This was what he wanted to see.Doris had never seen so much money in her life, not even in the vault of the man who claimed to be the richest in the world. She’d even felt pleased with herself and wondered what had happened to the money.Now, she knew. The man who stood before her was the one who was truly rich! If she could take the money with her, there was no telling how many mouths she could feed. She smiled at this thought. It was nonsensical, of course.At this moment, Darius said something that made Doris feel like she was dreaming. “I had this money prepared with the intention of helping the poor. If you can graduate from college, you’ll be fully in charge of it.”Doris felt like she’d suddenly been transported to a different world altogether. There was no way a normal person would give a thief that much money—especially someone as rich as Darius. Then again, she’d heard that these rich people tended to have odd fetishes—maybe this
