"They'll only go in one ear and out the other! I won't believe a word you say; they won't have the chance to enter my mind, let alone be processed." Zack forced the words out through gritted teeth, his fury evident. Darius could almost feel it through the speakers. Zack exhaled heavily and said, "If Darius were the one who'd caused my injuries, I wouldn't be so resentful. Yet the reality is the exact opposite!" He slammed a hand on the table. "Darius isn't the one who injured me. On the contrary, he saved my life! The person I've been plotting against all this while saved my life, which was in danger because of my so-called comrades. Do you know how guilty I feel toward Darius because of this? There's no way I can continue working against him in secret. Since I'm destined to die in the same person's hands, there's no way I'll continue doing anything for that person. As for you, you're also nothing more than a pawn to him. It's your choice if you continue working for him, but I hop

Pearl took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Her heart wasn't pounding as quickly anymore, but her eyes were still red. She parted her lips to say something when she saw a broken banister behind Darius. She subconsciously pointed at it before looking at Darius in confusion. Darius sighed and frowned. "It looks like the quality of the furnishings in this place isn't that great." As he spoke, he looked down at the part of the banister he held. Pearl's gaze followed his, and her jaw dropped when she saw what he held. Only then did she realize how quickly Darius had moved earlier. She said in disbelief, "I can barely believe this, but you honestly did move that quickly when you appeared before me earlier. My eyes weren't playing tricks on me because I was sad—you didn't take the stairs at all! You jumped over the banister, taking it down with you!" Her voice grew increasingly high-pitched as she spoke.Darius shrugged. "I heard you crying, and my first thought was that you were

"I'm really sorry for causing so much trouble for you tonight, especially stopping you from getting rest. I saw that you'd already turned the lights off earlier." Pearl pointed in the direction of his room.Darius smiled and shook his head. "You don't need to worry about these things. In any case, I wasn't asleep yet. If I were, I wouldn't have come downstairs because I heard you crying."Pearl looked surprised, unsure how to respond to this. She knew Darius was trying to alleviate her guilt over disrupting his rest, but she didn't necessarily want to hear him say these things. She fidgeted, wondering how to react.Darius sighed and patted her on the shoulder. "Come on, let's go upstairs. Honestly, you don't need to overthink these things. We're friends, so I'll always be around to help you when you're sad or upset, as long as you need it." He looked at her seriously.Pearl met his gaze. In the past, she'd never been able to understand what people meant when they said someone had brig

"He's an excellent professor, and he and Professor Plinsky go back a long way. In fact, if not for that, Professor Kurt wouldn't have agreed to take me in. Because of this, there's nothing to worry about. Professor Kurt won't abandon me, if only because of his friendship with Professor Plinsky. In any case, I called him as soon as I was discharged from the hospital to update him on my recent whereabouts," said Darius.Pearl didn't take her eyes off him. Her gaze was still filled with concern as she asked, "Are you sure he'll help you out with this? I heard your last conversation with him; he didn't seem to like you all that much."Darius felt helpless. "Yes, he will. Have some faith in Professor Plinsky's friend." He glanced at the clock on the wall. "Alright, it's really time for you to go to bed. I have plenty to do tomorrow."Pearl looked guilty again, but she didn't give Darius the time to console her this time. Instead, she turned to head into her room. However, with every step s

Darius rested his elbows on the desk and buried his head in his hands, sighing again. He knew he'd upset Erin by telling her about Pearl, but from an emotional viewpoint, he wanted to stop her from harboring any fantasies about him. Though he couldn't deny he'd occasionally felt the urge to form a relationship with her outside of their professional one, he knew it was more important to keep things between them professional. That was why he'd told her about Pearl moving in with him. Darius knew Erin would overthink this matter and that it wasn't exactly fair to either her or Pearl for him to do this, but he'd still done it.Another reason for his decision was that Darius didn't think Erin had any right to get angry over the fact that he was sharing his abode with another woman, especially because he and Pearl were literally only staying in the same house. Nothing would happen between them, whether physical or emotional. His final reason for doing this—it was almost negligible—was tha

Back in the day, many companies had been fighting to get Erin to join them. However, they'd all failed because of one reason or another. And it was because of this that Darius had managed to get her to join him. However, this all changed after Erin realized her feelings for him. She'd started losing her rationality and ability to accurately deduce something, resulting in her making errors in running the company. If she continued like this, she would no longer be indispensable to the company; that wasn't something Darius wanted, and he believed she wouldn't want that either. Darius sighed and pulled his phone out to tell Erin exactly how he felt. Regardless of her shortcomings, she was still an important comrade to him; he would never forget the time she'd spent by his side. Because of this, he was willing to be honest with her so she could make a decision that best fit her situation. She could decide how she wanted to handle their relationship and her future career development.

"I haven't had the chance to meditate until tonight, but when I visualized my body earlier, I saw that my life force had condensed into a square. I have no way of reaching into my body and touching it, but I believe that if I could, I could take that square out, and it would be exactly like actual gold," said Darius. To his relief and pleasure, Teivel started laughing at his words. There was a mixture of relaxation and excitement in his laugh, but there was also a trace of something indiscernible. Still, there was no denying that these were all good things, so Darius leaned back and opened his eyes. They gleamed in the darkness.As expected, Teivel's voice was filled with happiness as he said, "This is great—you've ascended to another stage in your meditation. Now, you can truly be considered an enlightened martial artist. You're close to invincible in your current environment, but once you're placed among the true experts, you're nothing." Teivel paused here, feeling like his words

"I only have one class in the evening, so I'll wait for the doctor to come and only head to campus once he's done with the examination." Pearl beamed at Darius.Darius focused on his food, not meeting her eyes. "Erin will bring the doctor over later; all you need to do is trust them and do whatever they tell you to, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. As for the doctor himself, he's someone I hired specifically for this purpose and is definitely trustworthy. Also, if you have any opinions about Erin, hold them in and wait for me to return to deal with them." With that, he put down his cutlery and stood up. "I know you might not like being instructed to do these things, but trust that I'll give you a reasonable explanation for this once the results are out."Pearl nodded and smiled. "It's fine, Darius. I've known you for some time now and have been by your side this whole while. I know you definitely won't hurt me, and I trust every decision you make." She fixed a resolute gaze on him
