Bryce dared not imagine what would happen to him next. He gawked at Darius, eventually closing his mouth and shutting his eyes in resignation.

Darius sighed. Just as he felt slightly more in control of the situation and less powerless, an agonized scream burst from Uriah’s lips.

“Darius, please, I’m begging you to kill my fiancée as quickly as you’re killing me now if she still behaves absurdly like before,” Uriah screamed. Then, he whipped his head to the side and grabbed Shelvin’s silver needles, stabbing them into his neck.

That was not what Darius or Shelvin expected. That said, Shelvin was not as shocked as Darius; he approached Darius’ side and placed his hand on Darius’ shoulder.

“Mr. Reid, please don’t be upset. Doing so was the best possible choice for Uriah.”

The unexpected situation made him bite down on his lips so hard that they bled as he spoke.

Darius turned to look at Shelvin just then. He quickly gathered his emotions and replied, “I understand. Let’s pull ourselves

    Then, Shelvin felt like he’d been frozen; he couldn’t make a sound. He wanted to look at Darius to ask for help, but he soon found there was no way for him to do that—he couldn’t even blink! This put him on the brink of tearsAt this moment, Bryan’s calm voice rang out. “Don’t be so nervous. My father, Yarlyn Weiss, was a kind man. If not for that, you wouldn’t be alive now, nor would you have been able to take over his body.”Shelvin’s eyes widened. He thought Yarlyn had ceased to exist when choosing to save him.Darius looked at Bryan. “So, what’s happening now?”Bryan shrugged. “He wanted to say something mean to me; there’s no way my father would allow that.” There was a pleased look on his face, but it quickly faded. “It’s sad—I know for a fact my father’s still alive, but I also know there’s no possibility of me seeing him ever again.” He squatted down and buried his face in his hands; his pain was evident.Darius looked at him calmly and said, “You look like you’re only thirty

    Bryan smiled and turned to keep his eyes on Shelvin. However, he didn’t look as relaxed as before—Darius still wasn’t paying attention to him. He dragged his eyes away from Shelvin to look at Darius and dropped his smile, his expression turning serious. “Anyway, it’s beneficial to you.” Darius raised an eyebrow and looked up. “I don’t see how.” He dropped his eyes to his documents again. Bryan’s breathing sped up, and he gritted his teeth. “Do you realize how poor your attitude is right now? How can you say these things?” Darius sighed. “I would’ve thought you’d be a man of few words because of your position, but it seems I was wrong—you have plenty of nonsense to spout. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to listen to you, so if you continue uttering nonsense, you won’t be leaving this place alive.” Bryan paled, but there was no fear in his eyes. He turned to look at Shelvin again and was alarmed to see the excitement on his face. Oddly enough, Yarlyn wasn’t doing anything to

    Darius shook his head with a smile. “There’s no need to apologize for something like that.” He stood up and walked over to the window, putting his hands behind his back. “Erin will be here shortly; all our questions will be answered then.” The second his words fell, he saw an egg flying toward him. His lips twitched as he stepped back and said calmly, “Look—their rage is proof of their urgency. No matter how smart one is, they’ll slip up once they become anxious.”Shelvin didn’t say anything. Darius smiled again. “Even if he doesn’t slip up now, he will later.” He turned away from the window, which was being splattered with eggs, and sat behind his desk again. He acted as if nothing had happened and made quick work of his documents.At this moment, Erin knocked on the door. Darius looked up and said, “Come in, Erin.”She pushed the door open, hurried in, and said, “Mr. Reid, the conversation you had earlier with Bryan Weiss is all over the internet.”Darius raised an eyebrow, looking

    Many other articles were written similarly, but Darius could tell they were by the same person. He smirked and thought, “Things are getting interesting.” At this moment, footsteps rang out from the corridor, making Darius raise an eyebrow. He didn’t get up from his seat; he knew whoever was outside would barge in, regardless of whether the door was locked.Someone kicked the door down with a loud crash and zoomed into the room. Darius turned to look at him with a smile; there wasn’t a trace of fear in his eyes. “What a surprise to see you here at this hour,” he said calmly. At the same time, he leaned back and placed his arms on the armrests of his chair, looking relaxed.Bryan narrowed his eyes at Darius’ leisurely appearance, suddenly at a loss for how to react—he didn’t expect Darius to be like this. For a second, he looked lost, but he soon regained his composure and glared at Darius. “I’m surprised you can still sit there so calmly.” His voice was shaky despite all his efforts

    “They lost their jobs and countless other things because of you!” Bryan’s voice was hoarse from all the shouting.Darius narrowed his eyes. “Your actions are rash, but you sound rather cautious. Why?” He looked Bryan up and down.Bryan frowned, looking repulsed. “Darius, this is where your life ends!” Once his words fell, he felt a gust of wind blasting him to the floor. He lay there, his eyes wide with shock. What the hell had happened? Why was he suddenly on his back? His shock immediately disappeared when he heard Darius walk toward him. Though he didn’t yet know what had happened, he knew Darius was the one who had caused him to end up like this. Before he even realized what he was doing, he growled, “Darius Reid, you’re nothing but a piece of trash who only leeches off the Reid family! What right do you have to treat me like this? You might be wealthier than me for now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the money will end up in your pocket! Plenty of people in the Reid family h

    Borisin obviously wasn’t a fan of the Reid family, though. Thus, he’d never mentioned a word about them. This meant that even if Darius was curious to know about the other members of the Reid family, he had no way of finding out more about them…until now. Now, an alternative lay before him. He smiled and said, “Nothing will change the fact that you’re going to die today, but I’ll give you a chance to choose how it happens.”Bryan lowered his head and looked at the ground, feeling disappointed and angry. He’d never imagined himself suffering such a terrible defeat, and he refused to resign himself to such a fate! In that instant, he was filled with strength. He looked up at Darius defiantly. “Who the hell are you? How can you…”Before he could finish his sentence, Darius stepped back and narrowed his eyes. On the other hand, Shelvin stepped forward with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. “Because your father is still alive in me.” As he spoke, the men Bryan brought with

    “I figured that if you guys could get along well, I wouldn’t interfere. Now, it looks like things aren’t as straightforward as I thought.” Darius’ eyes were frosty as he looked Yarlyn in the eye. A few seconds later, he suddenly exhaled and started gasping for breath. Darius’ face softened. “Welcome back, Shelvin.”Shelvin coughed violently, putting a hand on the wall to keep himself upright as he nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Reid. I wouldn’t have made it back alive if not for you.” His eyes were red from his coughing fit. “The bastard used his black life force to suffocate me. I’m nothing but a ball of consciousness, but I almost died of asphyxiation! Do you know how humiliating that is? It looks like I was being too merciful toward his son.” As he spoke, he turned to walk back into the room.Darius didn’t budge. He frowned and watched Shelvin storm off. Shelvin was injured—at least, his supply of life force had been cut off earlier—and should’ve been extremely weak at the moment. Besi

    Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. “I’m surprised you’re so open-minded.” He smiled in satisfaction. “I didn’t expect this. It’s rare that I’m pleased, so I’ll reward you for this.” William looked pleasantly surprised at his words, making him smile again. “Your attitude surprises me every time.”William didn’t say anything, but the smile on his face widened. Darius leaned back and took a deep breath. “If that’s the case, I promise you that I won’t bear a grudge against your family for everything that’s happened before today. I’ll wipe the slate clean.”William’s eyes widened. Darius raised an eyebrow, thinking about how different William was from his sister, Calypso. From what he’d seen so far, every member of the Anderson family placed great importance on relationships and emotional bonds—whether familial or not—but Calypso seemed to be the exception to this. The only person she cared about was herself. He didn’t linger on these thoughts for long; it wasn’t any of his bus

    "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
