Chapter 154
He took out his phone and called Bruce “I want to know if my friend was threatened at the casino.”“Dear young master, I have investigated it clearly, but the master thinks it would be better to find out by yourself as you arrive there”He did not understand his grandfather's intention. He hung up the phone and continued to read the documents.Then, he saw the name on the document that made him vomit.‘Dream Investment Group.'Darius' fist gradually turned as hard as a stone, and the tone of his voice was no longer calm, “Alan Roberts, you better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you, or else you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!”Just as the words left his mouth, he heard the pilot's nice voice, “Young master, we'll be landing in three minutes, so please get ready.”Darius put the tea cup back, sat on the sofa, and closed his eyes.The plane landed smoothly and the door opened quickly.Darius looked at the green grass and frowned “what is this place?”He

Darius did not know what people were thinking behind him. He only knew that he had been delayed for a long time, and that Rudd was waiting for his help. It was said that in the casinos of Slokus State, their eyes were wide when they killed people, even the blood flowing into their mouths would not make their faces change in any way. Darius picked up his pace the moment he hit the ground and practically bounced out. The two pilots, a man and a woman, followed him. The poor security guard on the ground was left unattended, only kneeling on the ground, watching in awe as Darius' back disappeared into the distance. His mouth trembled fiercely as he stood up and wobbled back to his post. On the other hand, Darius exited the airport in Slokus State. Unlike other places, It was a casino outside, not stores or restaurants. He didn't see a taxi neither did the two pilots. After waiting for a long time, just as Darius was about to walk. The two pilots came out. While panti

The expression on Darius' face was showing the seriousness of his heart. The woman's face changed. She had lost control of her body when she saw the card. She recognized this card! Everyone had to recognize this card during pee-employment training! So that they could serve the Reid family better. She had fantasied about earning a chance to enter the Reid family, and then, she would be Mrs. Reid. But she couldn't believe that the man she had been waiting for for so long was insulted to the point of anger by her. She stood still, all stiff, with only her eyes, still able to move, looking at the card, and began to think what she could do to salvage the situation now. Darius, however, put the card in his pocket “Now, can I get in?” The woman saw the expression on Darius' face and still found herself unable to accept it. With her eyes on Darius' back as he walked toward the casino doors, she suddenly screamed, “Stop! You liar! I know who you are, and you can't go in!”

The manager cautiously shot a sidewayssmirk at Darius before lowering her head. “My apologies, but I can’t recognizethe brand of his clothes as it doesn’t seem well known. However, his clothes dolook expensive.”Darius could tell the former’s tone wasfull of mockery.That was when a confident voice said on theother end of the call, “If an article of clothing has no brand, it must be acustom piece. I doubt someone that capable would show up at our casino.Likewise, there’s no way this poor little boy would ever be acquainted withsomeone so wealthy.”The situation seemed like a joke to Darius,who kept silent the entire time and kept his hands in his pockets. Even so, hisfrosty eyes sent chills down everyone’s spines. Darius eventually reached outto knock on the table twice before retorting, “Aren’t I supposed to grant yourbusiness more wealth through my patronage? Why did no one welcome me? Instead,you left me out here alone. Is this how your fancy casino treats itscustomer

The speaker dared not utter another word ashe cautiously sat back in his seat.Darius no longer concerned himself withthat man. After all, he knew the people gambling here were much poorer thanhim. Their combined assets would not even amount to a fraction of his wealth.There was no way Darius would waste his time on such people. Hence, he promptlyplaced his black bank card with the letter “R” onto the table.The manager’s brows furrowed. “I know manypeople worship Reid Consortium. Since you know of the Reid family, I’m sureyou’re also aware of the family’s social status. In having this bet against me,I hope you understand that a measly person like you cannot survive the wrath ofour casino or the Reids.”“Don’t forget what you’re saying to menow,” Darius responded, his voice devoid of emotion while he glanced at his watch.Then, he placed his card onto the scanner.A second passed before the machinery letout a beep of approval and flashed a green light.Everyone around them

Their gazes met for a moment before Bridget joined Darius' side like always while Edward headed toward the casino.Darius trusted Edward’s abilities, so he left for the airport.Bridget followed along with a slightly hesitative expression. “Sir, you can move around on foot later. You can use our family's own car.”Darius stopped, then looked at his shocked friend, whose jaw had dropped despite only being able to see through a slightly opened swollen eye. Darius knew Rudd’s exaggerated expression was only because the latter felt shocked. Still, seeing that pleased Darius. He reached out to give Rudd’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “Don’t be so surprised. I merely reunited with my family. It turns out that my grandfather is super wealthy, and so are my great-grandparents.”Those words did not ease Rudd’s shock. Instead, he uttered a string of foul curses to display how taken aback he felt.It was only after the car screeched to a halt before them and grains of sand flew into Rudd’s parted li

Darius felt it was necessary to draw aclear line between his subordinates’ service to their superiors and thelatter’s friends.…He waited for Rudd to alight the car beforeturning around and extending his arms wide. “Come along. Let’s give you a tour ofmy private jet.”Once Rudd set foot on the airport grounds,he wondered if the plane they were boarding belonged to Darius' family. Nowthat Darius had confirmed that suspicion, Rudd’s jaw fell agape as he muttered,“D-Damn. It seems like you can afford plenty of luxuries now. Still, whatshocks me more is that you still see me as your friend. You came to save melike you would’ve done back then.”Seeing how touched his friend was, Dariusblinked several times before replying, “Duh. We’re best mates, after all.”He had ascended the private jet’s steps bythe time he finished speaking. He looked at the door while motioning toward thejet’s interior. “Hurry up. We’ve still got plenty of things to do.”Rudd immediately clambered aboard

Chapter 129 Generous Hospitality##James had a gentle look on his face as heextended both arms welcomingly. “I hope God blesses you with better things,young man.”Rudd never dreamed that he could enter theReid residence’s front doors. After all, the Reids were rich beyond belief—tothe point where someone like Rudd was unworthy of even mentioning their name.Now, alongside entering the residence, Rudd even got to experience suchgenerous hospitality.The excitement caused his chest to tighten,leaving him breathless again.Seeing that, James put down his arms andchuckled. “I suppose my presence might make things slightly awkward, so I’ll beon my way now.”He then promptly turned on his heel toleave with his walking cane in hand.Rudd’s jaw stayed agape for the longesttime. Never in a million years did he imagine tycoons like the Reid familybehaving kindly toward those with less wealth.Once Darius and Rudd were the only onesleft in the hallway, the latter spoke up in a meek t
