Bruce looked at him calmly. “Perhaps you’ll consider telling me why you’re here if you don’t want to die.”The man burst into laughter. Darius frowned and said, “Bruce, take him away so you can question him later.” Bruce immediately reached out to grab the man, and his speed made Darius’ eyes light up. As expected, Bruce was a martial artist who seemed more proficient than everyone present, including Darius. This made Darius want nothing more than to spar with him, but this obviously wasn’t the right time for that. He tried his best to suppress the urge to pounce on Bruce.At this moment, Edward and Bridget showed up. From their footsteps and breathing, Darius could tell they had run all the way here, which made him raise an eyebrow. He turned to look at the door and said, “Bruce, hold on.” Bruce didn’t know why Darius had suddenly stopped him, but he did as told, and turned to look at Darius, whose brows were tightly furrowed. He’d never seen such a grim look on Darius’ face before a

The woman explained, “I was short on money, and they said they’d pay me handsomely to do this. All I had to do was bring a camera along when coming here.”Darius frowned. “How’d you get in here?” His tone was cold; the woman’s explanation meant nothing to him.The woman gulped. “I don’t know. They told me to take a concoction, after which I lost consciousness. When I came to, I was already here.” Darius frowned at this, and she exclaimed, “Wait! I swear I’m telling the truth!”She knew Darius wasn’t satisfied with her answer, but that was all she knew. She looked at him tearfully as he said, “Was it necessary for you to scream at me like that?”She said tremulously, “Sorry, I…I didn’t mean to.”His eyes were still cold, but he let her go. This didn’t make the woman relax, though. On the contrary, she tensed as her breathing sped up. “W-What are you doing?”Darius smirked at her. She slowly squatted down and buried her head against her knees, trembling violently. He said, “I’m glad you

##Then, she slammed against the wall and collapsed onto the floor.The two men slumped on the floor, breathing almost imperceptibly, suddenly raised their heads and glared daggers at Darius. They rasped, “Darius Reid, how dare you call yourself a man!”Darius looked at them calmly before counting down. “Three, two…”“Everything that’s happened so far was planned beforehand, including the video!” The woman sounded anxious. She looked at Darius desperately, feeling helpless under his oppressive aura. She couldn’t stop herself from telling him the truth, and she could sense he would’ve killed her without blinking an eye if he’d really counted down to one.The two men stared at her in disbelief, but she merely lowered her head. She continued, “At first, we caught one of the maids working for the Reid family and forced her to tell us the layout of your room. Then, we recorded many videos beforehand. I have a camera on me at all times to record everything. Once we had something that could w

James looked at Darius with bright eyes. “I realized that some of the younger members of the Reid family weren’t too pleased by your return. The Reid family has always put up a united front, so I had to interfere with some of their ploys to ambush you. Still, it’s inappropriate for me to deal with them directly, so you’ll have to do it yourself. I do understand why they feel this way, though. After all, they’ve been fighting to inherit my fortune since they were children.”Darius wasn’t too bothered by this. He was prepared to deal with these matters, so he stood up and said, “I understand, Grandpa.” Then, his eyes widened, and he turned to look out the window. He could hear there were more people gathered outside, and he looked determined. “Grandpa, this might be a little too late, but I’ve just realized something—the troublemakers gathered outside, and everything that’s happened today…they’re all my so-called relatives’ doing, right?”James raised an eyebrow and smiled. “You’re rig

Darius’ lips twitched when he detected a trace of grievance in Edward’s eyes. He said, “Judging from what you just told me, you deserved the beating.” Edward’s jaw dropped. He expected Darius to be on Bruce’s side, but he didn’t think Darius wouldn’t even offer him the slightest consolation. He was about to say something when they heard an egg smash against the window.Darius got to his feet, looking calm, and walked to the door. “Edward, let’s check on things outside. I doubt this will end without me making an appearance.” He sighed and headed for the elevator. When the doors opened with a ding to reveal a man inside, Darius smiled and walked in, confusing the man. He parted his lips but didn’t make a sound. At this moment, Darius said, “Are you here to look for me? You haven’t stopped staring at me since I stepped in here.”The man looked awkward but still nodded. “Yes, I am. I heard that some of the people who were employed by the Reid family on my recommendation inadvertently of

And so, Bruce could only put a hand on his chest in an attempt to slow his racing heart.Darius sensed his anxiety, but this didn’t affect him. He looked at the crowd without blinking despite the countless cameras flashing at him—of course, he had to channel his life force to his eyes to keep this up. He tucked his hands in his pockets and looked at the reporters expressionlessly. The lights didn’t stop flashing even after a few minutes, so he said, “Your actions right now make me suspect that you only came here to take photos of me.”At his words, the flashes slowed down and eventually stopped, making him raise an eyebrow. “I’m surprised you guys actually listened to me. Perhaps you can start asking your questions now.” Several hands shot up immediately, but to their surprise, Darius didn’t even spare them a glance. Instead, he continued, “However, befor

It was so silent one could hear a pin drop. Darius bent down to grab the man by the collar; the latter felt warm all over before turning pale when he realized he couldn’t move. He looked at the ground in despair, which Darius sensed. However, Darius ignored him and turned to look at Edward, who immediately understood what he wanted. He nodded and smiled as they left the crowd behind.Darius dragged the man back to his room before releasing him. The man dropped to his knees, making Darius smile as he sat opposite him. “You can stand up while answering my questions. After all, you haven’t yet had the time to actually do anything to me.” He looked at the man calmly.The man gnashed his teeth, finally understanding where he stood. Obviously, Darius already knew he had a camera on him, and he shut his eyes in despair. He thought Darius would get mad at him and start beating him up or something, but none of this happened.However, if the man thought this was the worst that things could get

Mortimer glared at Darius, his nostrils flaring as his chest heaved with rage. He didn’t say anything, though.Darius smiled and crossed his legs at the knee. Mortimer forced himself to calm down so he could speak to Darius, but Darius’ words only made his temper flare up again. “So, tell me—who gave you this idea?”Mortimer shot to his feet again. “What do you mean by that? Are you implying I’m unable to devise a plan on my own?” He thought Darius would shake his head, but Darius nodded, still smiling. Then, he leaned forward and turned his computer on before focusing all his attention on it. Silence descended upon the room. After a while, Mortimer asked in confusion, “Aren’t you mad that I led the people outside here?”Darius glanced at him for a second before lowering his eyes to the computer again. “You didn’t do anything bad,” he said calmly. “You were against this idea when whoever is behind this brought it up to you—that’s why I only want to know who it is.

"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
