His heart was calm as he waited for Darius to speak. As expected, Darius said in a complicated tone, “Since you’re ready for that, you can leave now.” Edward’s face fell. He knew that Darius could only be saying this because he’d already found someone to replace Erin. He turned to leave, focused on wondering who it would be.When Darius was alone, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He called Zack again. On the other end of the line, Zack had just recovered from the shock of having Darius call him personally when it happened again. He immediately answered the phone, but before he could make a sound, Darius said, “I’d only planned to stay in Almiron City for another three days, but things here are more complicated than I expected. We didn’t manage to dig up too much information earlier, so I’m not sure how long I’ll be here.”Zack frowned, starting to feel worried about the situation in Almiron City. He knew that things had to be worse than Darius was letting on. After all, Erin

“Do you get what I mean?”Alicia stiffened, then looked up at Darius in shock. The things he’d just said were completely different from what she’d heard before. She frowned, took a deep breath, and said, “That’s not what Erin told me, though.”Darius sighed at Erin’s name being brought up again. He leaned back and waved a hand, saying, “You don’t need to listen to a word Erin says. Now, no one can be sure that she’s truly loyal to West Atlantics Int’l… but you are, right?” He looked at Alicia.Alicia was dumbfounded. She could clearly catch his underlying meaning, and her lips trembled. She’d never thought about Erin’s viewpoint, but she knew very well that there would be a vacancy to work closely with Darius now that something had happened to put some distance between him and Erin—and she was the best person to fill that vacancy. Her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously took a step forward.Darius could sense her breathing speed up with excitement, but he didn’t know the reason behind

#She was worried about him and sighed softly, not wanting to disturb him. However, Darius was an enlightened martial artist—how could he not hear her? He frowned and opened his eyes, turning to gaze at her with a helpless look in his eyes.Alicia couldn’t discern the emotions in his eyes, and she tensed when his eyes landed on her. He could tell how nervous she was, and he sighed softly. He beckoned at her and said, “Come here.”Alicia didn’t know why he was beckoning at her, but this was the gentlest she’d seen him, and her heart raced. She felt like she was having an out-of-body experience, or perhaps she’d just lost control of her mind. She walked over to Darius, and her face burned the closer she got to him. When she finally stood before him, she felt like her face was so hot she was practically smoking at the ears. “Mr. Reid,” she said in a small voice.When Darius saw her eyes trained on the floor, he couldn’t help sighing again. “I know you guys are terrified of me, but there’

The only person he could spar with was Shelvin, but he’d gone missing after showing up at the hotel for a short time, and no one had seen him since. Darius didn’t expect the problem that had been plaguing him to be resolved like this suddenly, and he looked at the man in black robes. Meditation was long-term, and he wanted to have someone around to meditate with him. Now, it would be best if he could somehow make this man stay.The man’s hair stood on end at the way Darius was looking at him. A wave of fear washed over him, and he subconsciously took a step back. Then, he frowned. He’d never felt this way—it was as if a venomous snake locked its eyes on him. He took a deep breath, then held his hands up and said, “I know you’re an enlightened martial artist, thanks to the hints my fellow apprentice left for me before his death.”Darius placed his hands behind his back and looked at him in confusion because of how the man was talking to him like they were strangers. Hadn’t they alrea

arius had never spoken so much in one go before, so he paused to take a break. Shelvin had a thousand and one questions, and he finally had the chance to pose them when Darius stopped speaking. He quickly walked over to Darius, sat opposite him, and propped his head up with his hands before saying, “I understand every word you said, but I don’t get why you think making these businesses fear you would be difficult. Shouldn’t it be easy-peasy for you? All you need to do is show one of those organizations some tough love, and the others will naturally fear you—you won’t need to do anything else.”Darius leaned back and exhaled. “I can’t deny that you’re partly right. That’s what I intended to do at first, but I later realized I didn’t know which organizations belong to the Gillette Group. This means I won’t be able to effectively threaten them in one go.”Shelvin straightened up, then got to his feet and slowly started to pace before Darius. He’d never considered the picture that Darius

She couldn’t keep herself from smiling, but this didn’t stop her from quickly answering Darius. She said, “This hotel—or perhaps I should say this plot of land—has a long history. It’s been around since my grandmother was a child. Back then, before this hotel was built, no one occupied the land until the Gillette family came into the picture.” Alicia’s voice was calm, but there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. She didn’t know why Darius wanted to know about this.She knew it wasn’t her place to ask, so she racked her brains, trying to remember every detail she could about the hotel. “Based on what I remember, the previous owner of this land was a staunch member of a cult. After his death, the building he’d built here became a place that no one wanted to come near. Things only changed when the Gillette family showed up and produced the lease to the land. They only stayed for a short time before moving out, and no one knows why. Then, they converted the building into a hotel. Thei

As Darius spoke, the corners of his lips curled into a sneer.It revved the engines of Alicia’s heart, making it beat faster than before. That was because she had never seen this charmingly determined side of his. Throughout her time with Darius, she did not even dare to picture him smiling so confidently, fearing the beautiful scene would vanish forever once she snapped out of her daydream. After all, she could never withstand such a rude awakening.Darius placed one hand on the table, waiting for a response from the former. To his surprise, he never got one after a long period. He turned his head, only to realize Alicia’s eyes had lit up at him the entire time. It did not take much effort for him to decipher the meaning behind Alicia’s smitten look. Darius could not hold back his smile and even chuckled at the realization. At the same time, his hand reached out to wave twice in front of the dazed woman.Alicia’s heart fluttered wildly in her chest. She gulped, then quickly spun on

Darius tucked both hands into his pockets. His face was devoid of emotion, regardless of how much Shelvin stared at him with assessing eyes. All he did was frostily ask, “I’d like to know what your next move is. Although nothing you do will work in front of me—someone with true power and wealth, I prefer to save myself the trouble.”Shelvin’s lips curled just then. Although it seemed like a smile, anyone who looked at him would know he was unhappy. He replied, “I was worried you’d behave this way. It’s why I never dared step up before you and reveal all of this—I didn’t want you to see me as an enemy after learning about my identity. It’s not your fault for thinking this way, but I’m not at fault either. After all, I was taught the wrong values while growing up.”A brief but loud snort came from Darius, his distrust and disdain oozing into the space. It made Shelvin tense up while gawking at the former. Seeing Shelvin’s widened eyes, Darius raised a brow as he neutrally interrogated,
