Chapter 1062
Blake passed out and fell to the ground with a thump. Darius raised an eyebrow at this. His senses as an enlightened martial artist told him Blake had fainted out of fear. He wanted badly to laugh but suppressed it. Then, he turned to look at the vehicle that was approaching. It was a large truck.Darius shut his eyes and used his senses to determine the number of people inside. He couldn't help feeling surprised. It seemed the security guard had more friends than he'd expected. There were at least twenty people in the truck, and they had the same goal in mind.Darius smirked and crossed his arms. He was interested to see how these people were going to help their friend out. Did they know what he'd done or intended to do? Darius leaned against the gate and waited for them to show up.Sure enough, when the men jumped out of the truck, they looked enraged. They didn't bother making small talk. They brandished their batons and glared at Darius. "Hand Bruno over! He's a good friend of our
Chapter 1063
Bruno's friends approached at lightning speed. They took broad steps and soon blocked off Darius' path. Although they panted heavily, they shot determined looks at Darius. Among them was a woman who put both hands behind her back as she spoke. "Sir, are you doing this because you know you're at fault? Bruno has been our dear friend for many years. We take friendships seriously, and so does our friend. He would never lie to us about this. I can tell you're wealthy from your home. It would be a high risk for Bruno to trick us into coming here and harming you. As our friend, he would never do that."Darius noticed the person was shaking while saying that. He cocked a brow before sneering, "You guys place a lot of trust in Bruno. Sadly, he's unworthy of such trust."With a sigh, he walked ahead and added, "What you think is unimportant to me. But let me tell you that the others are over there. You're free to enter if you still don't believe me. I bet Bruno will have valid explanations fo

Bruno's friends pursed their lips in hesitation. After a while, one of the friends looked at Darius. She forced herself to say, "You may say that, but sorry, I don't trust you."She walked to the side and approached Bruno with caution.Darius continued smiling but didn't say a word. Instead, he crossed his arms over his chest. He stayed on the spot and fixed his eyes on Bruno.Bruno rarely got stared at like that, so he inhaled. Then, his face creased with rage as he bellowed, "I don't know why you're treating me like this, Darius Reid! Is it only because I didn't do the awful things you asked?"His friends raised their brows at Darius. Before they could ask anything, Darius' head turned to the side. Darius then extended his arm to point at the ceiling. Everyone was still confused upon seeing Darius' unwavering gaze. Still, they couldn't help but look in that direction. Their faces darkened once they did so.That was because a surveillance camera was right above his head.The group

Darius smiled, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. Bruno's friends noticed that. They inched toward Bruno because they feared Darius would attack the former. Otherwise, they couldn't protect Bruno if Darius made a move.Darius' smirk deepened when he saw the group form a defensive barrier before him. He leaned back, then sneered.That made everyone's face darken. Yet, no one dared to speak because Darius terrified them.Darius crossed his arms over his chest and sat on the couch while nodding. "I planned to forgive you guys because you seemed like kind people. Alas, your actions now show that's not the case." He sighed, cracked his neck, then leaned back. "You came up with any excuse to achieve your goals and justify your skewed assumptions about the rich, even if said assumptions were unfair. I didn't want to say these things because I didn't think it mattered at first."Darius sighed again. "But I'm willing to give you another chance since you guys haven't done anything too wrong

Darius crossed one leg over the other while leaning back against the surveillance room's chair. He also comfortably crossed his arms over his chest. He looked at the woman like she was an idiot.The woman never imagined Darus would question her motives after her efforts in putting on a pitiful act. Her breathing quickened while she widened her eyes at him. She later shut her eyes to say, "My plea is genuine, so I never considered the possibility of you doubting me. I must admit that I don't know what to do now."After saying that, she cast a hurtful but pleading gaze at Darius. "Mr. Reid, I've expressed my utmost sincerity, so I have nothing else to say. Regardless, please give me a chance. Let me stay with you. You'll see I'm determined to serve you and that my efforts are purely to make up for my mistakes!"Darius hadn't considered why the woman wanted to stay with him. Yet, he now refused to let her stay with him after pondering the matter. After all, everything she did felt odd. D

"I look forward to hearing you correct me if you think I've made the wrong assumption." Darius smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. He stood there. It was like his presence had made the surrounding temperature drop.The woman gulped. She had never encountered anyone like Darius before. At that moment, she felt like her plan was about to fail. Her eyes fell shut, and even her breathing grew louder. After several seconds, she opened her eyes to look at Darius. She realized how stupid she was. Because of that, the woman didn't waste any more time. Even her voice didn't fluctuate as she voiced a sincere question. "Darius, let me ask you something. Did you already know things weren't as they seemed from the start? Did you guess my identity when we first met? You knew I wasn't a regular person, and I had an ulterior motive for appearing before you? Did you know that?" Her voice grew higher with every word. Darius raised a brow, then pivoted to meet the former's gaze. "What you're say

They were still worried Darius would suddenly attack them. Darius put his hands behind his back, looking calm. "You amuse me. You'd just turned on each other, yet you're all good friends again right now."Bruno was still on the ground. He glared at Darius. His voice was shaky as he spoke, but he still forced the words out. "That's because you're evil! All these people standing before me are kind souls. We've known each other for years, and they know what sort of person I am. You may have pulled some tricks to confuse them for a short while, but that's not enough to drive a wedge between us. All the lies would've been exposed the moment we saw each other."He held his head up proudly. "That's how confident I am in our friendship! You, on the other hand, don't look like you have any friends. That's why you'll never understand what it's like to trust your friends!" Bruno gave Darius a challenging look.Darius rolled his eyes and sighed. "I bet you don't realize how ridiculous you sound."

Erin shook her head after sending those messages. She looked baffled. Then, she continued typing, "Sir, you might not be too familiar with these things, but this is a rare occurrence. It's rare for someone to refuse to change their surname despite being kicked out by their family. This is especially so for the wealthy. There's something amiss here, and I think there are more secrets we can dig up. I've been digging for some time but can't get anything out of them. None of the members of the Evans family are willing to say a thing on this."Darius nodded, looking calm. "That's okay. It's only normal that you can't get anything out of them. If it were so easy to find out, they wouldn't be one of the most powerful families in Ashweir City—at least on the surface. It's really not that powerful." He flexed his neck. "You can go back to work. I'll see how things go and play it by ear. Don't worry." He hung up.Erin parted her lips when she heard the dial tone but didn't say anything. She kn
