The caller was Helen!It had been close to two weeks since Darius rescued Helen from Luke’s vile actions. After taking her to her dorm, she kissed him on the lips and ran off before he could even react.After that day, he had tried to get in touch with her; not because of the kiss, but because he wanted to know if she was doing alright as he guessed that she might have gotten a huge scare.Contrary to his expectations, Helen refused to pick any of his calls at all! Not only that, she totally refused any meeting with him at all, leaving Darius at a total loss on what to do. She was completely avoiding him.Darius had no choice but to leave her for the time being. He had no idea why she was avoiding him, but he respected her choice. He still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn’t spend his whole time thinking about Helen’s refusal to meet with him.Therefore one could imagine how surprised he was when he saw that the caller was Helen. He did not expect her to contact him so soon.“He
Darius frowned slightly at Erin’s words as he wasn’t expecting a visitor anytime soon. However since this person had come to see him, he figured that he should entertain the person.“Let the visitor in.” Darius said.Erin nodded in agreement before exiting the office. Seconds later, the door to the office pushed open and a man stepped in, with Erin following suit.One look at the man showed that the man was an ordinary business man. He was dressed in a worn out black suit that had several patches on it, and his shoes were equally worn out. Even though Darius was sure that he was middle aged, the wrinkles on his face made him seem way older than he actually was.“Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Mr. Reid!” the man greeted in a very polite voice. He even gave a light bow as he spoke.Darius merely smiled in response to his greetings. He had seen his outfit and knew that he was an ordinary, or perhaps even a struggling business man, but there was no scorn in his expression. He rec
“I’ll give you a call soon, Mr. Zack.” Darius said. In the end, he could not just employ a complete stranger. He needed to do some research and make sure that Zack was a trustworthy person before he employed him.“Certainly Mr. Reid.” Zack replied. He had a dejected expression on his face, but still made sure to be polite to Darius. Although Darius didn’t accept him, he didn’t outrightly reject him either. He could only wait for his phone call. If he didn’t receive any phone call from Darius after a week, then he would ask for investments.Zack bowed lightly again before exiting Darius’ office. When he left, Darius motioned to Erin. Erin naturally understood what her superior wanted, so she nodded in response. He wanted her to research about Zack and see if he was trustworthy. If he was, then there was no harm in employing him.As soon as Erin left his office to fulfill that task, his phone rang once more. Darius checked the caller ID and saw that it was Bruce. He quickly answered the
[Dragon Estate, Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence]Darius woke up later than usual. He had worked late into the morning the previous day, which was the reason he woke up later than usual. Fortunately, he was able to complete all of his work because of his all nighter.By the time he woke up, it was already mid noon. He then performed his morning routines which included his martial arts and meditated.As Darius practiced his martial arts, he noticed that his moves were even more fluid than before. It was as if they got better and more powerful with each practice routine, leaving Darius utterly confused.He had no idea that his grandfather had used an ancient potion to heal him of his injuries, and it was the golden potion that improved his physical prowess and made his martial arts moves stronger and more powerful than before.Darius didn’t think much about it, and took a quick shower when he was done with practicing his martial arts.He was having his breakfast when his phone rang. He
The crowd present all let out surprised gasps when the young man alighted from the car. He was incredibly handsome! With a very attractive face, a well built body, and very clear skin, he was even more handsome than the male celebrities and models that arrived earlier. They were not just shocked by his attractive appearance, but also by his classy entrance. The car that he drove to the gathering looked incredibly expensive, and one glance told them that it was a class above the other cars the businessmen and celebrities came with. The paparazzi and the media people present hurriedly took pictures of the incredibly handsome young man. Although they had not seen him before, the fact that he was present at the gathering, and with such a dazzling car nevertheless proved that the young man was of impressive background. Of course, the young man in question was none other than Darius. Darius was the last person to arrive to the gathering, as he had driven a very far distance. He looked
Erin was still conversing with Alan when Darius started walking towards them. There was a huge frown on her face, but when she noticed him coming towards her, a smile hastily lit up her face. "Mr. Reid!" Erin called out happily but respectfully. "You've arrived." Darius stated as he walked closer to her. Alan Roberts could barely believe his eyes. Erin had been very unamenable to him, talking to him with a frown on her face. Yet the moment she saw this intruder, she broke out into a huge smile. This was a blatant slap to his face, and his face turned red from anger. "And this is?" Alan asked haughtily after Erin was done welcoming Darius. He was also incredibly angry at that moment. Despite his status as the Director of Dream Investment Group, Darius had completely shunned him. It was incredibly embarrassing to someone of his status. “Mr. Reid, this is the Director of Dream Investment Group, Alan Roberts.” Erin introduced Alan to Darius when she heard Alan's words, albeit unwillin
The moment the voice echoed, the hall instantly became silent. Everyone, including Alan, immediately ceased their discussions and focused their attention on the podium in the hall. A man who appeared to be over fifty years old stood atop the podium in the hall. Despite his grey hair patches, he was tall and handsome even in his old age. He was clothed in a luxury white suit, with several expensive rings adorning his fingers. At first impression, he appeared to be any other successful businessman. However, as he stood there, one couldn't help but notice the powerful aura he exuded. The reason was simple; as the owner of the voice was none other than Tyrell Sanders, the head of the Sanders Groups and the host for the gathering today. The Sanders Groups was a very affluent and influential group in S country, which was evident since Tyrell was able to attract several top businessmen and celebrities around the country to the gathering. Everyone wanted to get in his good books, so no one
The rest of the business gathering went smoothly. There were no conflicts or altercations with any businessman in the gathering. Just after thirty minutes Tyrell Sanders introduced Darius to the businessmen, Erin received numerous business cards from the businessmen present.Majority of them had already booked an appointment with Erin already, and would be visiting their company soon to proceed with the applications for the investment funds.

With majority of the businessmen applying for investment funds, he was sure to secure several promising projects. Those promising projects would hereby improve his chances of earning two hundred and fifty billion dollars in profit.As for Alan Roberts, he could not be bothered a
