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.

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.

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

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."

The mahogany desk was littered with numerous documents, and the man was busy scribbling on them.Suddenly, the door to his office opened abruptly, and an equally average man rushed into the office in a panicked manner.Hector Sterling, the current chairman of Sterling Corporation looked at the average man in distaste.
