Chapter 1028
Four balls of life force floated out of a corner out of Darius' sight and tried to catch up with him. Unfortunately for them, he was too fast. The balls of life force bobbed up and down in the air for a while before returning to the collapsed building. Darius knew nothing of this. He stepped on the accelerator, taking the three balls of life force he'd earlier captured with him. He wanted to go rescue Bridget, but he figured she would've been brought to safety long ago.Suddenly, he slammed the brakes and brought the car skidding to a stop. He sighed as he realized he'd forgotten something important. Edward was still at the hospital! As Darius prepared to turn the car around, he saw Edward's panting figure appear in the rearview mirror. Darius raised an eyebrow and waited for Edward to catch up.Sweat had beaded on Edward's forehead by the time he got into the car. It wasn't his lack of ability that rendered him incapable of catching up with Darius. Darius had just left too quick

Darius frowned. He stopped and turned to look at the reporters. "I've been patient enough thus far, especially since you tried to blame me for things I didn't do and drive a wedge between me and the developer of Solaris Estate. Still, I pretended not to hear any of that and left without saying anything. If you insist on harassing me, I can't guarantee you'll like the outcome." He smiled perfunctorily, then turned and walked away.The reporters stopped and exchanged looks, caught off guard by Darius' words. As far as they knew, no one had threatened reporters like this before because the general public would believe anything they published. Even if their articles were based on total lies, the public would believe them. This was why none had dared offend them throughout their careers.Now, however, Darius had done just that. The reporters' eyes gleamed menacingly as they started thinking of ways to smear Darius' reputation when writing their articles. Suddenly, Darius turned around and

##The reporters paled and stared at Darius in shock. Their breathing hitched as he smiled at them, making them uneasy. They tried hard to glare at him and sound as mad as possible, but to Darius' ears, their voices were shaky. Darius approached them again. He no longer wanted to give them chances, no matter the reason. There was an angry look on his face. The reporters didn't expect him to ignore them outright, and they trembled in fear at his rage.Darius sneered at this and put his hands behind his back. "I've already made myself clear once, and I didn't expect to have to repeat myself. Still, it doesn't matter. I'm wealthy but also kind, so I'll repeat myself. Before I do that, I hope you'll remember what I say this time!"He paused and swept a gaze over the reporters. When he saw their expressions turning ugly, he smiled and continued, "I can be patient with you, but I want you to remember that there's a limit to my patience. This is my second and final time saying these things t
Chapter 1031
Darius looked away from the reporter after saying that. The reporter was dumb beyond belief; Darius felt insulted by every word he had to say to the guy. He sighed and sat down again with his arms crossed. He said disdainfully, "How much can you tell me about this mysterious person who's been feeding you lies?"The reporter's head whipped up, and his jaw dropped. He didn't know what to say or do because he hadn't expected Darius to refuse to let this matter slide. He gulped as his mind raced, trying to think of a way out of this.The reporter did have some information on the mysterious man, but he didn't want to let Darius get his answer so easily because it wouldn't benefit him in any way. Still, if he were to withhold the information, he'd be in for a rough ride. He shut his eyes and sighed. "I think he could be a friend of yours, but he's definitely not an enemy."The reporter opened his eyes but kept his gaze trained on his feet. "I've already told you everything I know. It's up

Darius laughed mockingly. "You've been causing trouble for me for quite some time now, but you've never heard of the Reid family? Don't you find that absurd?" His expression darkened at the awkward looks on the reporters' faces. "This means I've been wasting my breath this whole time!"He cracked his neck. "I want you to know that I'm upset by this; it makes me feel defeated." He tucked his hands in his pockets and swept a gaze over the reporters. "If that's the case, I don't think any of you should continue working as reporters. Of course, you can return to the newspaper office to pack your things. I'll be making a trip down there to speak to your employers."Darius shrugged, then turned and left without another look back. The reporter who'd spoken earlier remained rooted to the spot, still holding out his phone. As he watched Darius speed off, he sighed. He didn't know what was happening anymore. He subconsciously wanted to call his boss to update him, then stopped. He figured none

The head security guard realized this wasn't a person he could defeat. He took a deep breath and smiled. Then, he said, "Sir, perhaps we can talk things through instead of hastily resorting to violence." He looked at Darius nervously.Darius curled his lip and exhaled from his nostrils. There's only one thing I'd like to say—have the person in charge come to see me. My patience is running out, and I don't think you'd like to see what happens if you continue like this." He flexed his neck.The head security guard's expression turned dark at this, and his tone became grim. "I know you're powerful, and I'm sorry to have to say this, but a discussion was only on the table if you had a good attitude. It's not exactly the best right now, so I'm doing you a favor by reminding you of that. I only hope that things will proceed smoothly from here."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking scornful. At the same time, he stepped forward and moved past the head security guard as if he hadn't heard a word
Chapter 1034
Darius stopped, looking serious. The head security guard nodded and said, "Understood, sir. I won't let you down." His eyes were filled with gratitude. He wanted to get to his knees and kiss Darius' feet as a way of showing his gratitude, but Darius didn't give him the chance to.Instead, he waved an arm and strode into The Dream Newspaper's building. The head security guard watched him and waited until he was out of sight before turning away from the building. His reason for doing so was simple enough—he wanted to protect Darius.Darius sensed this but didn't say anything. He proceeded forward until he was in the lobby. Things were different from what he'd expected. It was quiet inside. The front desk had been set up nicely, but there wasn't anyone manning the counter. He put his hands behind his back and smiled mockingly.He knew the building looked so deserted because of his presence, but it didn't make sense. He sat on one of the couches and poured himself a cup of coffee. Then, h

"Now, I see that those articles were wrong." The employee's breathing sped up.Darius put a hand on his hip and nodded. He smiled, but it was cold. "You could be on to something, but it doesn't matter. My point right now is that I want to know where the person in charge is. Why is he hiding in his corner? Doesn't he have the nerve to show his face?"A trace of impatience flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at the table by the entrance. He said crisply, "Alright, I'm not interested in talking about these useless things with two women. Tell your employer or the person in charge that I'll give him five minutes. If he doesn't show up within that time frame, I can guarantee that this beautiful front desk will be turned to dust."He smiled and continued, "That includes everything that's on and behind the counter, of course. I couldn't care less whether any of these things are important."The employee gulped and looked at him tentatively. She was about to say something when an old man's
