As she spoke, shepointed at a guy lying on the ground.Darius looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “You’re worried about the Gillettefamily coming here.”Alicia nodded.“Yes, sir. They’re extremely unreasonable and act based on their whims andfancies. There’s no way we can predict what they’ll do.” She looked at Darius.“If we stay here, we’ll put ourselves in grave danger. Also, the factthat Samantha did a one-eighty worries me. It proves that she knows they’realmost here. We’ve kept an eye on her all this time, so I have no idea how shefound out about that.”Darius took inher frustrated expression, then walked into the courtyard. He put his handsbehind his back and looked in the direction that the Gillette family’s carswere coming from. “You’re worried that because the Gillettes know we’re here,they’ll be able to swiftly come up with a counterattack against us.”Alicia didn’texpect him to understand her so well. She widened her eyes in surprise. Dariusdidn’t turn to loo

“After all,you’re Darius Reed. I’ll do anything I can to help you.”Darius looked athis watch. “I don’t have much time left for you. The Gillette family’s going tobe here soon.”Shelvin’s eyeswidened as he looked at Darius in disbelief. “How’s that possible? Shouldn’tthey have their hands full right now? Why would they show up here?”Darius glanced atSamantha. “I think the answer to that probably has something to do with thiswoman, but I don’t know exactly what it is. You can look into the matteryourself and tell me the answer once you have it.” He stretched his neck.Erin hurried overto him. She sized Shelvin up, then frowned. “Mr. Reid, what’s he doing here?”Shelvin was alittle hurt by her question. He raised his voice in dissatisfaction and said,“Hey, you may be beautiful, but you can’t be so contemptuous of me! I’m a greatguy, and plenty of women were interested in me even before I became anenlightened martial artist. They were practically dying for me to marry them,

He cleared histhroat and straightened his collar before saying, “It’s a skill that weenlightened martial artists can use. You just need to direct that warm energyto your eyes to see everything you want—anything at all,as long as you think about it.”This came as asurprise to Darius. He widened his eyes and looked at Shelvin doubtfully, whichShelvin didn’t appreciate. Shelvin took a deep breath and looked at Dariussincerely, then said, “Darius, I’m not lying to you. Why would I whenI want to work for you in the future?” He paused, then continued calmly, “Ifyou don’t believe me, you can try it. You’ll definitely see whatever you wantto.”Darius was stilldoubtful, but he couldn’t suppress his curiosity. He tried to direct the energyfrom his abdomen to his eyes. What happened next shocked him—it was the exactscene he’d imagined!Erin flushed whenshe saw him staring at her. She took a deep breath before saying, “Mr. Reid,you’re making me shy, staring at me like that.” As sh

She saw Shelvin and Darius’ eyes sweep over their surroundings and finally land on her for the longest time, but they didn’t move. This made her feel uneasy. She frowned, then swiftly walked over to them. Then, she held her head high and said, “What are you looking at? I bet you’ve been spending all your time ogling at women instead of working, judging from the fact that you can only afford to drive a car worth half a million. If I were you, I wouldn’t just stand here and gape like an idiot; it won’t earn you any money. You’ll just be depressed that none of these women you’re ogling will be yours.”Darius’ lips twitched. Honestly, he didn’t think it’d be an easy feat to find someone wealthier than him, but it was obvious that Samantha disagreed with him. A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes and quickly disappeared.Samantha suspected she was seeing things, and since she couldn’t figure out what was happening, she stopped thinking about it. She stalked toward Darius and closed the

No matter how much he refused to admit it, he knew she was telling the truth. However, he smirked and said, “Even if you’re telling the truth, it doesn’t bother me. I couldn’t care less. You may not know this, but your father can’t harm me in any way. Perhaps it’s because you’re too naive, but you should know that saving the world isn’t something we care about.”He raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Erin. He saw that she already had some results from her investigation, so he flicked his wrist and and let Samantha go.She glared at him, her eyes filled with hatred. However, it didn’t bother himHe walked over to Erin and leaned against the table, his eyes focusing on the monitor. “How is it? Do you have anything?”Erin smiled and nodded. “Yes, sir.” She turned the laptop to him and said, “The truth is shocking. I decided to delve into this from a different perspective and used whatever information we had to search for Samantha’s father, Michael Williams. Indeed, he’s a wealthy ma

Now, however, he was being forced to, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. He looked at Darius with bloodshot eyes and roared, “This is all your fault! You’re the one who killed my son! He didn’t even do anything!”Darius’ eyes widened as he looked at Wilson, raising his voice to say, “You can blame me for killing him, but you can’t say that he died in vain. He’s done so many illegal and immoral things and escaped the law so many times because of you. He even killed someone because of his own selfish desires!” He paused, taking in Wilson’s bloodshot eyes and heavy panting, then calmed down and smiled. “I know there’s no point in saying all this at this point.”Wilson stalked toward Darius. “I think I’ve been very patient with you so far, more patient than I’ve been with anyone else. Yet, you harmed my beloved son.”Darius frowned. “I don’t think we’ve even met before today.” He didn’t receive a reply from Wilson, however. Wilson just growled, “Look at you—you’re no different

He reached an armout and quickly grabbed a gun from the guy standing next to him before hecocked it. Then, he aimed it at Darius and forced out through gritted teeth, “ I’ll show youthere’s no human more powerful than a gun!” However, in the next second, hefelt the gun leave his hand. He remainedrooted to the spot and slowly looked up to see the gun in Darius’ hand—it wasthe one he’d been holding earlier. He was about to make his move when a woman’scrisp voice rang out. Darius found thisvoice to be a little familiar, but he couldn’t place it. He didn’t move; partof him was distracted by the woman’s voice. However, most of his attention wasstill focused on Wilson. When Wilson heardthe woman’s voice, he looked at Darius and said mockingly, “My, look at that.She was my future daughter-in-law, but she’s so desperate to be with you now!And at the price of my son’s life!” He gnashed his teeth as if he was bitingdown on Darius’ flesh.Unfortunately forhim, Darius didn’t tak

He looked at Darius confidently as if this was all part of his plan.Darius narrowed his eyes. “Honestly, you’re wrong.”His original plan was to deliver a devastating blow to the Gillette Group and reduce its net worth exponentially, but it seemed that this wouldn’t work out.Darius raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at Erin. “He hurt you earlier. Are you willing to let him off the hook?”Wilson narrowed his eyes at Darius’ words. He felt deeply uneasy, but he didn’t dare say anything. In fact, he didn’t even dare look at Darius, afraid that he would accidentally reveal his true emotions. He sucked in a breath, thinking that this was his first time feeling so frustrated. He swore to himself that if Darius didn’t end him right here and now, he would definitely find a chance to get revenge in the future. He’d make Darius disappear off the face of this world.As soon as he thought about this, he sensed Darius’ gaze change. He raised his head and stared directly into Darius’ eyes, bu

"If you hadn't picked on me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. No matter how wealthy I've become, I'll never be able to take these black robes off!" The mysterious man's voice was shaky. He was extremely agitated.James frowned at that. He said curiously, "You keep saying I've done you wrong, but everything I did to you was what you did to others. I only gave you a taste of your own medicine."The mysterious man's breathing sped up when he heard that. He barked out a laugh and sneered, "I'll be honest with you. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet someone as dumb as you again."He shook his head. "I find it hard to imagine what your grandson will do when he sees you like this." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The man was caught off guard. He looked at Darius as his body trembled violently.Darius frowned when he saw this. It was completely different from what he'd imagined. He narrowed his eyes at the mysterious man, his

Gabriel smiled and nodded. "Alright, then. I'll return to my workstation and prepare a proposal on what to do with Noah."Darius nodded and smiled. "Good. That's all I ever wanted." He turned to leave. "You need to get to work, and I need to return to my hotel to get some rest."Gabriel stopped. Darius' words made him hesitate. "I'm sorry to be asking this because I don't think it's my place, but it's probably better for me to ask anyway. I don't remember there being any hotels nearby."You should head home if you wanna get some rest. I don't understand why you're heading to a hotel to rest."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He turned with his hands behind his back to look at Gabriel helplessly. "I don't know how to feel about what you've just said. You're making me think you're a little silly. Wouldn't I know how to search for a hotel?"It won't take you long to prepare a proposal, but it'll take me ages to get home from here." Darius turned and left.Gabriel's lips twitc

"Because you realized the risk was far greater than what you were comfortable with," Darius said calmly.But Noah started trembling. He looked at Darius in terror. He didn't expect Darius to see right through him after some simple back-and-forth. His eyes widened in fear.Everything that was happening now made him feel like he was dreaming. Noah had only been a step away from success, yet Darius had ruined everything.Tears filled his eyes as he gazed at Darius. "I've said everything there is to say. I'm the lowest rung on this ladder, and I only have one purpose for being here. It's to make you come under the authorities' control. Once you're here, my mission's accomplished."Someone else from the authorities will be here to deal with you, but that has nothing to do with me. They wouldn't have told me about it, anyway."Darius put his hands behind his back without saying anything. He turned to leave. Noah's eyes widened as he stared in fear at Darius' back.Darius didn't see this, bu

When Darius straightened up, his face became devoid of emotion. He said calmly, "I've wasted too much time on you. Now, I only want frank answers. Otherwise, I'll punish you for every lie that you tell me. I don't see any hope in your eyes, but let's see whether you prove me wrong."Darius paused, then continued, "I've already said something similar once. That was a chance I gave you. From this moment onward, I want you to know that I won't repeat myself because I believe you've had enough time to prepare yourself."Gabriel stood beside him and put his hands behind his back as his lips twitched. He'd thought about the various reasons for Darius repeating himself. But the one thing that hadn't occurred to him was that Darius had done it to give Noah time to prepare.Gabriel felt like applauding Darius, but the rational side of him stopped him from doing so. His rationality told him he'd be in for trouble if he were to do that, so he only looked at Darius with a smile.Darius sensed Ga

Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then, he said, "You're too nervous, Gabriel. It makes it seem like you don't trust me. In truth, there's nothing for you to worry about."He stretched his neck and continued, "I know very well how bad the consequences of destroying this building will be. Aside from those silly regulations, I'll also need to pay for it. I might be wealthy, but that doesn't mean I'll enjoy forking out a huge sum of money as compensation."Darius spread his hands and shrugged. At the same time, he pointed at the window and turned to look at Gabriel. Then, he said, "Look. The windows are perfectly fine. They're not even scratched. That shows my life force is non-destructive."That's why you have nothing to worry about. You can put your heart back into your chest."Gabriel straightened up and sighed in relief. Then, he gave Darius an embarrassed smile.Darius grinned but didn't say anything in response. He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at Noah. He sai

"We're classmates from the same major, too! We were interns at Dream Investment Group, remember? And we got kicked out on our first day. You broke my legs because of a tiny argument we had outside the building! The surveillance cameras captured all of this!" Noah cried.Darius tucked his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes. Then, he said mockingly, "You're the biggest fool I've ever met. Do you think you're the only one who can tamper with the surveillance footage? Any footage that can be tampered with can also be restored."Noah's eyes widened in shock. He gulped and tried to think of a way to explain away the injuries Darius had inflicted on him. Still, he couldn't think of anything. Before he had the chance to think any further, Darius spoke.He said, "There's one thing you got right, though. Gabriel is on my side, so he'll stand up for me no matter what you say."Gabriel's lips twitched at that. He subconsciously opened his mouth to say something in return, but Darius bea

"And I don't think it's my job to make you see sense," Gabriel continued. He put his hands behind his back. He gave Noah a look that was an odd mixture of gentle iciness. "I've given you more than enough time and chances."Gabriel sighed. "It's obvious that you don't care for that, though. And so I think it's time for me to treat you as an officer should." He sat down on the other side of the desk again.Noah's face was white with fear. Gabriel acted like he didn't see this, though. He smiled. "As I mentioned, I gave you plenty of time and chances, but you didn't appreciate them."His gaze turned frosty. "If that's the case, I'm sure you won't object to me doing this per our guidelines."Noah cried, "No, wait! I don't know what Darius has promised you to make you side with him unconditionally, but there's no way I'll let you two get away with this. You have to make sure you do everything by the book. It's a reasonable request, and you have no right to turn me down!"He trembled viole

Gabriel put his hands behind his back as he looked at Noah with a smile. "Now, you've piqued my interest."Noah looked up at Gabriel. His voice was deep and hoarse as he said, "If you help me, I'll give you half of the Reid Consortium's assets once I get my hands on them. You should know that without me, there's no way you'll get a dime from the Reid Consortium."Gabriel snorted with laughter when he heard that. He straightened up and slowly circled Noah. He sounded mocking as he said, "You've lost me there. I tried to puzzle it out, but it doesn't make sense at all."Why would I want to get my hands on the Reid Consortium's fortune? Even without it, I'm perfectly independent. I don't need it to survive."Gabriel crossed his arms and looked at Noah mockingly. "Or maybe you're different from the rest of us. Maybe you'll die without the Reid Consortium's wealth." He smirked and gave Noah a sharp gaze.Noah raised an eyebrow and smirked. "You're the one making me laugh now. I don't know

Gabriel sounded gentle, but everyone knew that was far from the truth. This was especially true for Noah, who sat across from him. He felt incredibly nervous. He shut his eyes and breathed rapidly.Noah never would've expected to still be in danger after being taken in by the authorities. He frowned and looked up at Gabriel. "So, are you determined to help Darius now?" His voice was shaky, and his eyes were wide because of his nerves.His emotions were clear as he looked at Gabriel. Gabriel bit his lip, feeling like he was about to laugh. To stop Noah from noticing, he quickly exhaled and sat down with one leg over the other. At the same time, he leaned forward to place his hands on the desk.He tapped his fingers on the desk quickly but rhythmically. Gabriel's eyes were devoid of emotion as he looked at Noah. "Tell me, Noah. What happened between you and Darius? Earlier, you said he was the one who injured you. Do you have any proof?"Because we checked the surveillance footage, a
