Chapter 185
The official couldn’t help but tremble. He’d been watching Darius closely, but he still didn’t manage to catch what exactly he’d done. Now, all he could see was Darius holding two fingers up and his colleague sprawled on the floor. He knew that he didn’t have a choice.His hands trembled as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs, which made them jingle. He reached out to put them on Darius but couldn’t even bring himself to look at him. He held the handcuffs out for a while, but Darius didn’t show any sign of moving. His hands were still in his pockets, and he looked at the official with displeasure.The official knew this, and his mind started to race. He had to think of a way to resolve this as soon as possible without offending anyone. Otherwise, he would probably end up worse off than his colleague. This wasn’t a consequence he could bear.So, he tucked the handcuffs away and looked at Darius, deciding to appease him. “Darius Reid, you’re very smart, and you should know what the right choi

That was why he needed to ensure his safety at all times. Everything else had to come after this. At the same time, he wanted to resolve this mess as quickly as possible. Therefore, he had to ensure his safety while being quick. His brain was already operating at peak capacity, but he still couldn’t devise a good plan. Soon, however, he would realize that he’d overestimated his opponent.It was only expected. No ordinary person would imagine that their opponent was wealthy, powerful, yet obnoxious and arrogant.Things happened while he was still sleeping. He was resting when he heard the sound of several footsteps approaching. A voice rang out amidst the footsteps, and it belonged to Donny. “You might be wealthy, but the detention center isn’t a place where you can come and go as you please. It’s a right that’s been granted to us by the federation.”Then, Darius heard laughter. It came from someone who sounded young and probably wealthy, judging from the words he uttered next. “The fact t

They whipped their weapons out and aimed them at Darius.Unfortunately for them, he was an awakened martial artist. Before they even moved, he already knew what they would do. So, he dropped to the floor, still maintaining his grip on Hank’s neck, bringing him down with him. Darius quickly moved toward the bodyguards, forcing Hank to move with him.Darius could sense that Hank was running out of oxygen. It wasn’t the result he wanted, but he was fine with it either way.On the other hand, Hank knew what Darius was up to now. He wanted to tell his bodyguards to stop, but he couldn’t. When they came to a stop, his eyesight was blurry. However, he could still see that his bodyguards were already down. Only then did he realize that he couldn’t even begin comprehending Darius’ true abilities.The fact that Darius could do this showed how powerful and wealthy the force behind him was. It was definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the Gillette family. It wasn’t a secret, and almost everyone else wa

By the time Darius realized they’d been circled, the men had already gotten out of the cars, and Hank was in the lead. He had to be held up by people on both sides to stand. There was dried blood on his face, and his eyes were red with fury.This was Erin’s second time encountering something like this, and she wasn’t as nervous as the first time. Her breathing sped up, but she quickly calmed down. She turned to look at Darius. “Mr. Reid, what should we do now?”Darius pressed his fingers to his temple. Hank was the stupidest guy he’d ever met and was a waste of space. So, when he put down his hand and opened his eyes, all one could see was his frosty gaze.Erin knew the frostiness wasn’t directed at her, but she still shuddered. When Darius spoke, it made her tremble even more. He paused and looked at her but quickly averted his gaze. “You only need to do two things right now. Firstly, inform the university that I’ll be gone for a month. Secondly, get me a ticket to Almiron City.”Erin sta

Hank was already starting to regret it, but no one was left to protect him except for two bodyguards. So, he grabbed them by the wrists and pushed them forward. “You two, beat him up! You’re only allowed to stop when he’s on the ground, or I’ll hold you two responsible for this! And if you don’t buy me enough time to escape, I’ll…”He didn’t get to finish his sentence and stood there, mouth agape and eyes wide. Darius had suddenly appeared before him, and he was terrified. As far as he knew, no normal human could move at such a speed. Now, however, he was proven wrong. A scene he’d never even imagined had happened before his very eyes. This was beyond his understanding, and he was fearful.He turned to look at Darius, lips trembling. He stammered out, “W-what are you doing?” Obviously, he was terrified, but Darius didn’t intend to let him off the hook.The two bodyguards were dumbstruck. Darius was like a gust of wind. He’d disappeared before their very eyes and reappeared behind them. Th

This was Darius’ first time actually harnessing this energy and trying to make it reach someone’s exact location. Naturally, he failed, and the energy landed on the car next to the martial artist, making it explode. Once again, the tar was blown to smithereens.There was a flash of panic in the martial artist’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. His gaze turned disdainful as he looked at Darius. “Your energy’s powerful, but the fact that you can’t control it means it’s basically useless to you.” As he spoke, his body seemed to waver.Darius sensed the martial artist appearing before him, but something weird happened in the process—he could clearly see every single action the martial artist made, including how he came over. Another thing that surprised him was that everything around him seemed to happen in slow motion when the energy flowed through him. This accidental discovery was a good one, and it made him smile uncontrollably.The martial artist thought he was mocking him and scowled.

As he stretched, he asked, “Have you taken care of everything?”Erin looked awkward as she shook her head. “I’m sorry about this, but the university refused to approve your leave because they said that you may not even be one of their students anymore.”Her words made him realize what was going on. After a moment of thought, he nodded and said,“Take me to the university now. I think I need to discuss with the dean whether I’m still one of Kingston University’s students.”Erin had never doubted him, so she drove to the university. When they arrived, the sky had yet to darken, and the students still had class. Darius headed straight for the dean’s office and knocked on the door.Soon, an aged voice said, “Come in.” Darius walked in and met the dean’s eyes, clearly seeing the shock there. He didn’t expect to see this in the dean’s eyes, which made him suspicious. It was true that his sudden appearance was a surprise, but the dean’s reaction was still unexpected.He asked, “Dean Fletcher, you s

After saying that, he looked like he was excited for the show to start.What Darius did next surprised him—he turned the computer on, looked for a dissertation Leon had written, pulled it up, and showed it to him. He said seriously, “I once read a dissertation that’s very similar to yours, and it was published three years ago. Dean Fletcher, I’d like you to prove that you wrote this dissertation independently and didn’t copy someone else’s work.”As he spoke, he pulled his phone out. “I hope that you’ll be able to give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I’ll have grounds to suspect that you committed plagiarism, and I’ll report you to the authorities.”Leon had imagined plenty of different ways Darius would react, but this definitely wasn’t one of them. He took a deep breath and glared at Darius, saying, “Are you sure that’s what you want to do? You’re crossing the line here.”Darius nodded. “We used the same methods, didn’t we? Why are you mad? Also, you don’t have any way to prove y
