The next day, Darius called Maxwell into his office."The mayor did not disappoint." He said immediately Maxwell walked in. "He's sent the details about the ball and the names of the people who will be attending.""He can't afford to disappoint you, young master." Maxwell replied proudly as if it was only natural that the mayor would do as Darius wished."Enough with your flattering." Darius said exasperatedly. "I need you to research on these people and tell me the important I should know about them." Darius said."Yes, young Master." Maxwell replied without questioning.'It is only normal to prepare properly before the hunter goes to hunt.' Darius thought inwardly. He wanted to know everything there was to know about the people he was going to meet.Maxwell indeed took the task seriously and got down to it immediately. Sometime later, Maxwell came in with a note of all the things he had researched and showed it to Darius.Together, Darius and Maxwell studied and took note of the dif
Darius met with different people that night and all of them were important figures in the city. No matter who they were, all of them showed respect to Darius when they became aware of who he was.However, there were people that he avoided and concealed his identity from. He had told all the people she had introduced himself to that they should keep his identity anonymous. He didn't allow Lord Regis and Alicia to lead him to meeting people that he want interested in meeting."We should share a drink sometime." Darius said to Alicia who had drained the last of her energy by dragging Darius about."You miss me that much?" Alicia licked her lips enticingly as she sipped on some strong whiskey. "I've been really busy, but since you're asking, I guess I'll drop by. Besides, I'm very interested in what you've been up to." She said with a wink.She knew about Darius's plan for revenge and the strange thing was that Alicia was fascinated by it. It wasn't just personal, it was because she could
Darius tapped his foot impatiently on the floor as he watched the man furiously try to make use of the connection that he had that made him so arrogant.Darius who was sitting down opposite the man stared straight into his eyes and asked. "Who is the person that you're trying to call so bad?" Darius asked irritatingly."The likes of you could never know him, you think you can barge into my office and demand for money after you were fired? Dream on!" He yelled.The man hadn't even bothered to call the security guards of this company. Those guys were just useless figureheads. Besides, Darius had passed through them already. He knew they did not care, it's not like he also paid them well.~CRACK~The armrest of the chair Darius was sitting on had produced the sound from Darius gripping it too tightly."I asked who is he?" Darius repeated as he gripped the arm rest more tightly. "Doesn't he have a name or a position?" He asked coldly."It's my friend who is involved in the investigation d
Darius had quite a list of offenders.The people who had wronged him at one point or the other were all visited one by one by Darius. He dealt with all of them in different ways. But Maxwell couldn't help but realise that Darius was quite merciful. Even though Darius had said he wanted to take revenge, all Maxwell could attribute Darius' actions to was that they were light punishments when compared to what they had done to Darius.As Darius went about to visit his backstabbers, there was something he didn't forget to tell each and every one of them."You must not let anyone know of who I am, especially Mr Churchill who owns Ladrak Company. You'll be dead if I find out that you let any information slip." Darius had threatened seriously.Of course, they all readily agreed to keep their mouths shut after they understood that Darius had now become really powerful.Darius didn't tell them to keep it a secret because he was scared of Mr Churchill. No, he just wanted to still remain a myster
"What?!" They all exclaimed in unison."That's bullshit." Johnson said."I'm the one saying it, not young master. Do I look like the kind of person to joke around uselessly?" Maxwell snapped at him with irritation.Johnson went silent and looked at Darius in disbelief. Madam Felicia and Hannah were also silent and in shock. It took a while for them to process what they had just heard.Darius had been a genius. Carla's family knew that because Carla had told them when she first wanted to marry Darius. They all believed that Darius would somehow become very rich one day but it never happened, it just so happened that Darius was unlucky.It began to make sense to Madam Felicia bit by bit. After Darius had been made to divorce Carla, he just suddenly changed and had money. Anyone would assume that Darius had something strange so they had naturally suspected that he wasn't saying the truth.He hadn't even bothered to explain the source of his sudden wealth and that was enough to get Madam
"Boss, there's a problem!" A lady came running into Mr Churchill's office early in the morning.Mr Churchill had just resumed in the office that morning. He was in the process of taking off his suit jacket when he heard the secretary run after him. He flinched in surprise."Wait a moment." The lady paused before she could say something else but she looked tense about somethingMr Churchill removed his jacket completely and hung it by the wall. Then he calmly sat down on his chair and wore his glasses before looking back at his secretary."What's the matter?" He asked in a slightly tired tone."There's another big removal of money from the company funds and the account is dwindling." She reported as she showed him the statistics of the account from a file that she had carried with her from her office."Oh shit. Not again." Mr Churchill lamented as he removed his glasses and threw it on the table out of the frustration and helplessness he was feeling.It wasn't the first time that his
"The other day, you said the Morris has sold their company to Mr Churchill..." Darius said as he spoke to Maxwell."Yes, young master. That seems to be the case." Maxwell replied with an affirmative nod."Then, I want you to do something." Darius said with a cunning smile. "I need you to use your connections and make contact with someone in the company that can work as a personal spy and agent for me in that company." Darius said."For what purposes sir?" Maxwell asked with an intrigued gaze."That Man, Mr Churchill, bought another company that I've not sabotaged, it's only right to make things balanced don't you think?" Darius asked with a twisted smile."I see." Maxwell replied. I'll get someone today surely." He promised.***The next day. Mr Churchill woke up to new problems that arose in his new company overnight. It was the company that he had bought from Carla's family.Some expensive and heavy duty engines in the company caught fire overnight and the engines became wasted. Bec
"There's been a problem in the company as at this morning." Mr Churchill spoke some early as he addressed Madam Felicia and her son Johnson. They sat in the lavishly designed living room together and listened to Mr Churchill.Strangely, Mr Churchill looked a bit pathetic, he had dark circles under his eyes as signs of stress and he was looking haggard."What problems?" Madam Felicia asked curiously as she lightly scrutinised Mr Churchill's appearance."Some engines in the factory blew up over the course of the night and now the company is on a standby." He explained and paid close attention to the reaction of the two before him."What?" Johnson was the one who shouted as he was genuinely shocked. "Those machinery were working just fine and I even had them serviced right before you bought the company." He stated in disbelief. "How did that happen?""I'm also clueless as to how it happened." Mr Churchill said regretfully. He noticed that the two were genuinely surprised about what he ha
