His face looked so anxious after hearing Christian ask him to come to the room. His instincts told him that something unpleasant was about to happen, but he didn’t know what.Alex, Kenji, and two others near Darrell were puzzled by the expression shown by their boss.“Is there a problem, Boss? Is something serious happening?” Alex asked.Darrell shook his head, saying, “I’m not sure exactly, but I feel like something serious is about to happen soon.”“Is this about Mr. Demetri?” Kenji asked.Darrell nodded.Instantly, everyone there felt uneasy. They knew that any issue involving Mr. Demetri was always significant and dangerous.“But I still don’t know what. So, I can’t tell you yet. But I’m asking you to be prepared!” Darrell said.The four people there nodded.Darrell then walked straight to Mr. Demetri’s room.As usual, after knocking on the door, Darrell entered the room after the door was unlocked by Christian using his smartphone.When Darrell entered the room, Mr. Demetri was s
Although he felt touched by Christian’s request to help expedite the process of legitimizing the inheritance rights, Darrell still believed that he had to protect Mr. Demetri from something far more dangerous if they made a wrong decision.“Mr. Demetri, I understand what you’ve said. Actually, I share similar concerns with you, sir. But in this matter, we cannot rush into a decision. I promise you to find a solution as quickly as possible so that we can move and secure Mr. Demetri’s position as the main heir to the family wealth,” Darrell said with a sincere tone and expression.Christian nodded. He didn’t want to continue this discussion because, according to him, it meant Darrell and his men would soon be on the move.“I will send someone to Canada to monitor the situation there. So, once we know the actual conditions in Canada, we can formulate what needs to be done. We can’t make decisions hastily because Reginald Demetri is someone very clever and meticulous,” Darrell continued.
Darrell realized that Dorian was angry and extremely displeased with what John had done by killing that person.Therefore, Darrell quickly ended his voice call with John to explain what had actually happened to Dorian.“Update me on the developments later!” Darrell exclaimed before ending the voice call.After ending the call, Darrell looked into Dorian’s eyes, who as awaiting a response.“Mr. Dorian, I understand that you feel disappointed and upset hearing the news that John has killed that person. But it needs to be known that what John did was in accordance with my earlier instructions. I said it’s better to kill him if he resists, rather than causing trouble later,” Darrell explained.Dorian’s body was still filled with anger. He didn’t say anything to respond to Darrell’s words.“With the death of that man, there is now only one official shareholder of Metropolitan News. So, it seems easier to acquire the shares desired by Mr. Demetri,” Darrell continued, but his gaze was direct
Darrell was furious because he believed that with only Blilian as the sole owner of Metropolitan News company shares, the distribution of shares to Mr. Demetri was very minimal, not in proportion to what should be rightfully obtained.Blilian trembled as he saw Darrell’s angry figure. It wasn’t just Blilian who felt fear, but also the lawyer and notary brought by Blilian were equally terrified.In their minds, there was regret for joining Blilian there if, in fact, Darrell was part of the meeting.“W-what do you mean, Mr. Darrell? What makes Mr. Darrell object? Wasn’t the distribution according to what Mr. Dorian requested?” Blilian asked with a trembling voice, trying to contain his fear.With glaring eyes, Darrell said, “You said 70% of the shares are given to Mr. Dorian, whereas, in reality, the shares are for the Protector. If the distribution is like that, it means you have a higher value of shares than before. How can you take advantage of this situation? Do you think you’re doi
Dorian was surprised by the demeanor of the man facing the window in the room. However, he soon realized that the man was not in a good mood. It was evident from Christian’s face that he was dealing with a lot of problems, which is why Dorian didn’t protest and simply followed Christian’s lead.Then, Christian turned his body to face Dorian. He spoke, “I want to ask for your help, if you don’t mind.”“What kind of help, Mr. Demetri? If it’s possible, I’ll assist you,” Dorian inquired.“I need you to help me deliver this file to my wife. But please tell her that the gift is from the Protector. Don’t let her know that it’s from me,” Christian requested.Hearing that Christian’s request was quite straightforward, Dorian immediately agreed to it.“All right, Mr. Demetri, I’ll deliver this file to your wife and keep it a secret,” Dorian said.Christian smiled. He saw sincerity in every word Dorian uttered, not just now but also when they first met again, during Kairos’s apology.“You are a
Yang Lee had often treated someone with severe bone injuries, even crushed bones, but none had reacted like this before.Certainly, this puzzled Yang Lee. He didn’t know what had happened to Christian and why it had happened like this.Yang Lee placed his hand on Christian’s chest, trying to help by channeling his own energy into Christian’s body, hoping to stop the seizures that his student was experiencing and lower his body temperature.After about 5 minutes of this, Christian’s body gradually returned to normal. He no longer had seizures, and his body temperature began to decrease, although it was still very hot.Yang Lee then released his hand from Christian’s chest, saying, “Are you feeling better?”However, the old man’s question was not answered by Christian. It seemed that Christian was still very weak after struggling against the recent events.After that, Christian fell asleep due to exhaustion from resisting the rejection of the potion given by Yang Lee.The teacher let Ch
After hearing that the person in front of them wanted to give shares, of course this surprised Marigold and Orion. Both of them became doubtful about their beliefs about Sailas Demetri who was the Protector.The two of them now looked at each other as if asking each other about the problem.“What? You want to give a gift of shares? Shares from which company?” Camila asked with her eyes and mouth wide open.Dorian smiled. Then he said, “Yes. This gift contains 85 percent of the Metropolitan News company shares. Therefore, I have to meet Yvette directly so that she can immediately sign the file.”Camila immediately saw a good opportunity to match Yvette with a very rich man. Of course, Dorian’s figure for Camila is the perfect figure for Yvette.That man’s background was truly excellent. A leader of the Ashford Family, the family is ranked seventh as the richest family in US.“You’ve come a long way, it’s better if you go inside first to drink coffee,” said Camila, who was trying to bui
What surprised Yvette was that the Protector gave back a gift in the form of shares. This is the second time the Protector has given a similar gift after previously giving a gift of TV 8 shares.“Is this not wrong? the Protector gave me shares of the TV 8 company some time ago, now he is giving me shares of another company?” Yvette asked, showing disbelief.Dorian nodded his head once and then said, “How could I come here just to play around? Maybe Miss Yvette already knows who I am, do you think I can do something that’s a waste of time?”This question really made Yvette speechless. There’s nothing more Yvette can say at this point.After a while, Dorian said again, “Please accept the gift. After that, Miss Yvette can sign the recipient of the share transfer. If Miss Yvette signs it, then the company is officially yours.”For most people, this gift given by the Protector is something that makes them happy. Of course, very quickly those people signed it.But Yvette was different, she
