Bang!A gunshot sound echoed in the car park, and a split second later, a bodyguard fell to the ground and lay motionless.He was dead.Tyrell's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the body of the murdered bodyguard. He was certain that the bullet was intended for him, but he was pushed away at the last second by Darius, resulting in the bodyguard taking the bullet in his place.Tyrell’s eyes clouded over in grief at the bodyguard’s dead body, before rage seeped into them. The gunshot was a lethal one, as the bullet pierced his bodyguard’s heart, killing him on the spot.Whoever the shooter was intended to end his life immediately, and not give him a chance to survive even with the help of world class medical specialists. There was no way he was going to let such a person go scot free.“Go after him!” Tyrell yelled furiously and pointed at the direction the gunshot came from. If looks could kill, Darius was sure that the shooter would be six feet under already.“Do not let him escape
Darius drove as fast as he could, paying little heed to the traffic rules as he drove. He couldn’t care less about the traffic rules now, especially now that he had the injured old man with him.After driving speedily for more than thirty minutes, Darius finally got to the hospital. He should have gotten to the hospital much later as the distance was quite far, but because of his high speed, he was able to get there earlier.The moment he got to the hospital, he called the paramedics over, after which they put the injured old man on a stretcher.Darius walked with them as they wheeled the injured old man into the hospital. It was then he took a closer look at the old man.Even though there was a significant amount of blood on the old man, Darius could see his body clearly. The old man looked to be in his mid sixties, and had a very developed body. He seemed very fit with a muscular body for an old man. It made Darius wonder how the old man was unable to avoid being hit by his vehicle.
When Emily, the nurse who was speaking to Vera, turned around and saw the middle-aged woman, her eyes widened in surprise.“Director Yul!” Emily exclaimed in surprise.The middle aged woman with a haughty demeanor was none other than the Director of Serene Hospital. Of course, as the Director of the hospital, she had a very high status in the hospital.“Emily, what is the issue?” Director Yul asked with a frown on her face.Emily hesitated to respond to the Director, but Director Yul glared at her. Emily had no choice but to recount the events that had led up to this situation. She did, however, leave out several details about when she paid for the treatments with her own allowance fees. She was aware of how difficult Director Yul could be, and she didn't want to make things more difficult for Vera.As Emily narrated the incidents, the frown on her face grew increasingly prominent. By the time Emily was done, she was sporting a very huge frown on her face.She turned to Vera who was s
The moment they heard the robotic voice, all of them turned to look at Darius in shock. They could not believe their eyes at all.The young man was actually able to pay $270,000 without batting an eyelid. This meant that he surely had more than that amount with him!Vera, Director Yul and the onlookers in the hospital stared at Darius with a new light. Anyone who was able to bring out such amount of money on a whim was certainly someone impressive.Vera’s eyes shone with admiration as she looked at Darius. That moment, Darius was the most attractive person she had ever seen in her life, and his position in her heart soared drastically.Being the wise person she was, Director Yul immediately understood what Darius’ action meant, so her attitude took a complete 180 degree turn.“Pardon my rude behavior earlier. I was totally at fault.” Director Yul said meekly and shamelessly.Darius didn’t say anything to her and merely arched his eyebrows. Director Yul saw through his intentions and s
“Mr. Reid! There is trouble!” Erin yelled anxiously from the other end of the phone the moment Darius answered the phone call.Darius frowned at Erin’s anxious tone. Since he knew Erin, she had always been composed no matter the situation. Now that she was this anxious, he could guess that the matter wasn’t so simple.“Erin, calm down and talk to me. What is going on?” Darius asked steadfastly.Erin took a deep breath and exhaled before speaking slowly. As she spoke, the frown on Darius’ face grew increasingly prominent, and by the time Erin was done talking, Darius had a huge frown on his attractive face.“Okay. I got it. Thank you.” Darius said, and then ended the phone call abruptly. He then walked over to his bedside table and took the TV remote on the table before switching the TV in his room on.“…And coming next is news about the Chairman of the fast rising investment company in Capital City, West Atlantics Int’l.”The television station was the one of the biggest news channel
Meanwhile, Darius was already speeding towards Serene Hospital. Naturally, he had no idea about his grandfather’s plans. His thoughts were totally occupied with the old man’s death.After minutes of driving speedily, Darius arrived at the hospital. He parked the car neatly and then rushed to the old man’s room, without paying any attention to anybody.When he opened the door, Dr. Langhan was already waiting for his arrival with an expectant expression on his face.“Mr. Reid.” Dr. Langhan called out carefully.Darius ignored him and walked straight to the old man’s lifeless body on the bed. Darius didn’t say anything and stared at the old man’s body with a complicated expression on his face. Darius back was turned to Dr. Langhan, so he couldn’t see the expression on Darius’ face.The two of them maintained a period of silence for over five minutes, before Darius finally spoke up.“What happened exactly? Wasn’t his condition stabilized already?” Darius asked.Dr. Langhan sighed forlornl
[West Atlantics Int’l headquarters, Capital City.]The atmosphere in the company’s regal building was dull and tense. The workers were all moving about their daily activities with gloomy and forlorn expressions, unlike the usual bustling attitude they had previously.The employees were not to be blamed however, as they had already seen the negative news about the chairman of their company. They were seasoned employees, so they knew how detrimental the effects of such news could be to their company.The higher ups, such as Erin and Zack, were more depressed at the situation at hand. The company was still a very new one, so they were feeling aggrieved about the current turn of events. If their chairman was unable to resolve this issue, then it would be a huge setback in their already laid out plans.The news had been embellished greatly by the media, so it had succeeded in creating a false impression about the chairman of West Atlantics Int’l.The public didn’t know the full details reg
Erin and Zack both felt chills run down their spine as they looked at Darius who had a smile on his face. Although he was smiling, his gaze was extremely frightening.“Zack, bring me the list of companies that backed out from the projects we’re supposed to invest in.” Darius suddenly said.Zack jolted from his thoughts in shock before hurrying away to obey Darius’ instructions. Seconds later, Zack returned with a pile of documents in his hands which he then carefully handed over to Darius.Darius collected the documents and read through it, and just minutes later, he gave his verdict.“Remove Terra International, Venus Inc., and Sky Industries from our company’s database." Darius issued an unexpected command.“From now on, West Atlantics Int’l will not have or entertain any form of business with these three companies.” Darius concluded with a tone of finality.Both Erin and Zack looked at Darius in astonishment. They didn’t expect his sudden decision at all. It was way too rash!Dariu
