Darius turned to his grandfather with shock in his eyes.His grandfather knew who the culprit was?“You know who the culprit is?” Darius asked.“Yes.” Darius grandfather replied.“How bold.” Darius grandfather sneered. “They dared to harm you; completely ignoring your identity as a member of the Reid family.”“Are they not afraid of the Reid family anymore?” Darius grandfather asked in a cold tone.Darius looked at his grandfather and felt shivers run down his spine. The look his grandfather had on his face was the look of someone who had been in charge of a company that was on top of the food chain for over 40 years. Darius was still a student and was yet to graduate from his university, so it was completely normal that his aura paled to that of his grandfather who was a seasoned veteran.However that didn’t stop Darius from asking his grandfather who the culprit was. He was incredibly curious to know who sent an assassin after him. He had not offended anyone recently and was always

Luke flinched in fear when he heard the caller’s question. As for what the identity of the caller was and why he could make Luke flinch in fear, the answer was very obvious.The caller was none other than the current head of the Erihal Group and Luke’s father, Ian Erihal!“Are you deaf?!” Ian bellowed from the other end of the phone in rage.“N-No sir!” Luke stuttered fearfully.“I asked you a question! Answer me!” Ian bellowed in rage.Luke flinched again in fear, but said nothing. He could not bring himself to answer his father’s question. He dared not tell his father that he made use of his private bodyguards to take out a nobody. It wasn’t because he severely injured Darius, but because he made use of his father’s special bodyguards even after the harsh warning his father gave him.Ian let out an audible sigh of frustration at the other end of the phone. Over thirty seconds passed before Ian finally broke the silence.“I see you have refused to talk. No problem, I’ll find out the

[Reid Mansion]The past three days had been smooth sailing for Darius, as while the Erihal Group were battling bankruptcy on different fronts as a result of James Reid concentrated attacks, he was recuperating peacefully from his injuries.He woke up this morning as early as usual, and was still brimming with energy. He obeyed his grandfather’s words and practiced the breathing techniques in the book his grandfather gave him before practicing his martial arts routines.As he practiced over the days, he found out that the moves were executed easier than before. The moves that used to be rigid were now executed as fluidly as water. Not only that; the time taken to perform all his routines cut short by more than half!He also noticed that his kicks and punches had increased in power, and he could process things faster than usual. Unknowingly to Darius, the golden potion that his grandfather used in treating him not only improved the external attributes of the body, but also the internal

Three beautiful Rolls-Royce drove into the venue for the lecture. Everyone present had a shocked expression on their face when they saw the expensive line-up of the white Rolls-Royce cars.The Rolls-Royce came to a stop and three intimidating bodyguards all dressed in black suits alighted from the vehicles. The intimidating aura of the three bodyguards gave the students a fright. They could tell that the three bodyguards all had top notch combat skills. Such fanfare made them wonder the identity of the figure in the second Rolls-Royce car.A bodyguard opened the door to the Rolls-Royce and when the person in the car stepped out, the students all had bewildered expressions on their faces.The person was none other than Darius Reid!Everyone there knew who Darius Reid was. After he donated $4.1 million to charity and outbid Pearl Chamberlain in the auction at the charity gala, they knew that he was no longer a poor person like before and his name had been widespread in the university, b

The looks on everyone’s faces instantly changed. At first they were surprised by the appearance of such a flashy and expensive sports car, but when they saw who the car belonged to, any trace of surprise and admiration they felt for the owner of the car vanished immediately. They now had looks of contempt on their faces. It was expected, as the crimes Luke Erihal had committed weren’t petty ones. They were grave ones, and not only that, he was even a repeat offender! Luke noticed the looks of contempt directed at him, but could care less about that. He didn’t care about what some students thought about him, especially at this crucial juncture. His family was on the verge on being bankrupt, and it was a well known fact that if they were unable to receive external funds to improve their stock prices, by the end of today, the Erihal Group would cease to exist. The top business tycoons knew that the Erihal Group had most definitely offended a tall figure in the corporate world, which w

The students all sucked in a cold breath when they arrived at that conclusion. Such conclusion meant that Darius was even more impressive than they thought. It was very unnerving that such a brilliant figure was frolicking in the university as a poor and wretched figure! Darius on the other hand was still glaring at Luke with unbridled hostility. He didn’t care a single bit about Luke’s apology. He wasn’t a saint or a martyr, so how was he supposed to forgive someone who came after his life? It was simply an irreconcilable action! He was also having a hard time believing that Luke was truly remorseful for his actions. Perhaps he was only willing to beg for leniency because the protection of the Erihal Group would be nonexistent if the Erihal Group went under. “I’m sorry, but I cannot help you out. I have no idea who is behind the targeted actions toward the Erihal Group, therefore there’s nothing I can do.” Darius said coldly. Even though he was itching to beat up Luke, he reigned

Darius was incredibly shocked at Luke’s action, but he recovered very quickly. After drinking the golden liquid, he had received a tremendous boost to his physical attributes and his combat prowess also received a drastic power up.He quickly leapt back before launching a powerful kick to Luke’s wrist. The kick was incredibly powerful, dispossessing Luke at once. The knife fell from his hands and landed a safe distance from Luke.Everyone present breathe in a sigh of relief at the turn of events. They thought that Luke would be successful in his attempt, but luckily Darius was well versed in combat, therefore thwarting Luke’s murder attempt.Darius stared at Luke with unchecked hostility. One look at him and one could tell that he was incredibly furious!He was a fool to have ever felt an iota of sympathy towards Luke. He thought that the dire situation his family was would make him remorseful of his actions since he was the one who put them in a difficult situation in the first place

The following days were peaceful for Darius. Helen still refused to pick his phone calls or reply his texts, leaving Darius at a loss on what to do. Since the matter with Luke had been settled, he then focused on his studies. The second semester exams were fast approaching and he needed to pass effortlessly.After two weeks of intense studying and preparation, the semester exams came to a conclusion. As expected, Darius was the best student in the exams when the result came out. Darius had an apathetic response to that. He had always emerged as the best student in all the exams he had taken since he got admitted to Kingston University, so this time wasn’t any different to him.Now that the exams were over, the students were given a two months break, before they resumed school for the next semester. This meant that when school resumed for the next session Darius would be in his final year of study.The whole student body was bustling with excitement after seeing their results. Majority

Darius let out a helpless sigh at his grandfather’s words before sending the company’s address to his grandfather’s e-mail. There was nothing he could do than to obey his grandfather’s wishes.He quickly exited the conference room with Erin following closely behind. He rushed downstairs and stood at the entrance to the building to wait for his grandfather.Just thirty minutes after he sent the company’s address to his grandfather, three beautiful white Rolls-Royce cars pulled up outside the company’s building.The bodyguards who escorted his grandfather alighted from the Rolls-Royce cars and opened the door to a Rolls-Royce car. His grandfather and Bruce then alighted from the car slowly.The bodyguards quickly surrounded his grandfather and Bruce, providing them maximum security from any security threats.Darius quickly walked over to his grandfather and greeted in a polite voice.“Grandfather! You didn’t really need to come over here!”However his grandfather just waved off his gree

“I can only give you the capital to start up your company under one condition.” Darius’ grandfather declared in an authoritative tone.Darius gulped slowly at that, but braced himself to ask the condition.“What condition, grandfather?” Darius asked tentatively.“You have to make a profit of five times the original capital I give you in one year.” His grandfather answered domineeringly.Darius eyes widened in surprise at his grandfather’s condition.He had to make five times the original capital in a single year?!That was a very tall condition; especially for him!Darius had only little experience which was gained only after managing a few assets like Nix Inc. and other businesses for a few months. Even at that, he had not made five times the profit they usually earned.Darius was feeling very unpleasant at that moment, but he forced himself to calm down. He had not yet known how much his grandfather was willing to give him as capital. Hopefully it won’t be a very large sum. If it wa
