By the time Darius located Erin, the woman had vanished. All that remained was the faint smell of blood in the airErin did not feel he had to hide anything from Darius. “I broke her wrist and got her to admit why she did all that.” While saying that, She looked at Darius, waiting for his response.Darius signed.Erin reached out to look at his watch. “If we had found out about this 30 minutes later than we did now, we’d already be on the plane, facing a grave threat.”Darius and the two bodyguards shared confused looks before they asked, “What exactly happened?”Neither of the three could imagine the severity of what was happening.After pondering for a while, she decided to reveal the truth. “At first, I didn’t think things were that serious, so I planned to give anyone involved with the earlier incident a warning. You know—give them a taste of pain. However, along the way, I caught a whiff of a peculiar odor that only belonged to aircraft paint. Those guys were here as flight passengers,

Darius chuckled, feeling taken aback by Edward’s words. “That doesn’t matter because you can prove your capabilities by speedily defeating them.”Edward nodded.As their conversation ended, two men appeared beside Edward.One of them swung their arm around Edward’s shoulders and said, “Edward Elliott, we’ve had a hard time tracking you down these years. We didn’t think we’d see you here.” Edward, Bridget, Erin, and Darius were surprised that the other party did not immediately take action.However, Edward would tell the man had exerted a lot of force on his shoulder, which made his brows furrow.He remained unmoving but spoke with an irritated tone. “Shouldn’t you be happy to have found me?” The man’s face warped with rage. “We’ve always treated you well in the past, Edward. Why would you do this to us now? Besides, I need to know where our mom has gone. She said she saw you and came over but never returned to us, not even until now.”Edward’s gaze shifted to Darius. He was unsure if he shou

“Then, when our mother came over to get even with him, they killed her!”“Oh? Well, I haven’t heard such an absurd thing,” one of the control room personnel replied calmly, “We’ll investigate this matter. I’ll need you guys to come with me until we find out the truth.” Darius could tell the personnel was not in a good mood, but he remained in his seat.The personnel nudged his spectacles before frowning at Darius. Even his tone took on a snarl. “Did you not hear what I said? I told you to come with me!”Darius continued to stay seated, not moving, save for his gaze that shot toward Edward.Upon seeing that, the personnel looked over at Edward. “I saw what happened earlier. You were the one who started the fight and beat them up.”That was when the airport’s speakers recited Darius and his entourages’ names, urging them to board the plane.Darius stood, adjusting his suit before saying, “Before you decide to arrest us, you’ll need to look for their mother’s so-called dead body and investigate

“That’s impossible!” the manager boomed, unintentionally attracting people’s attention.Flustered, he cleared his throat and waited for the right moment to explain, “Our airport’s security members are professionals. Every aircraft has a dedicated safety inspector, so our planes will never falter. I bet you’re someone with ulterior motives. You must have gotten hired by our competitors to spread fake news!”Darius glanced at the man from the control room and said, “I believe you guys can confirm whether I’m telling the truth or not. I’ve already wasted plenty of time in this airport, which is a tremendous loss on my part. So, I hope we can resolve this soon.”The man nodded. Although the two came to an agreement, they did not consider the manager’s feelings. That caused the manager’s eyes to widen with rage, and he thundered, “You guys are being unreasonable! Our airport has nothing to do with the matter!”He then scanned Darius from top to bottom before flashing a disdainful look. “

Darius spoke straightforwardly.“I have some bad news for you. According to my investigation, your lover holds 20% of this airline company’s shares. However, I own 51%. While the 20% grants your lover the status of being one of the top two major shareholders…”The manager’s face became pale. What shocked him more was that things had not ended there.“...You’re not someone capable. All you did was rely on your looks to seduce your current lover. You’re only able to stand here and point fingers at me so rudely because your lover gave you this position,” Darius continued.He then cracked his neck, adding while he examined the manager’s expression, “There’s more that I know, such as your lover’s husband. His and my company rarely engage in collaborations as he’s far too inferior.”The manager suddenly had a relaxed expression. Upon seeing that, Darius’ lips curled into a sneer. “Of course, those are merely my opinions. The same can’t be said for your lover. If her husband wanted to fire you and

All the woman could do was get up and bow deeply at Darius. “I’m deeply sorry. This was my fault. I’m willing to pay any price to alleviate your anger and not get punished by you.”The manager had already gotten apprehended by that point.Meanwhile, the man from control room stood aside and watched the events unfold without reacting.Curiosity flickered in Darius’ eyes as he watched the two people. It was his first time encountering such a situation.The woman could tell he was curious and quickly explained, “These two have worked at our airport for many years, and they’re very knowledgable about the airport’s ins and outs.” “Don’t trust that woman, Darius!” the manager yelled without thinking twice. He was furious after being held down for some time.That interrupted the turning cogs in Darius’s brain, causing him to frown and focus on the pallid manager.Having caught Darius’ attention, the manager announced, “I may not know who you are, but I’m sure you’re the person that woman once menti

Not a word came from Darius. All he did was shut his eyes and continue to rest.It was not long before Erin closed her laptop and stood, her eyes gleaming. “It’s done, Mr. Reid.”At the same time, her features loosened with signs of exhaustion.Darius opened his eyes, but before he could speak, the woman guffawed. “Anyone can find out who owns the airline by searching it online. Besides, I’m the company’s—”No longer patient, Darius shot onto his feet and glared daggers at the woman. “I hope you remember that I own more than half of this airline company’s shares. In other words, I have absolute control over this company, which means I can replace this company’s board and executive manager as I please.”Fear coursed through the woman’s veins.She raised her head, casting a shaky look at Darius while musing, “I’m the second major chairperson in this company after Darius. I’m also the executive manager. In saying that before a crowd, Darius is making others question my authority! I can’t let hi

Elizabeth boldly locked eyes with Darius, stating, “You claim to be the major shareholder with more than half of this company’s shares, yet I’ve never seen you before. I can, however, apologize for everything that happened today if you can prove it.”Darius’ brows creased into a frown. He reached out an arm, resting it on the bench’s armrest while tapping his fingers against the metal. Growing irritation radiated from his very being as he replied, “According to what I recall, I’ve proven it to you before.”It was like a blizzard had erupted in Darius’ gaze, causing the temperature around everyone to lower drastically.“And you should know that, as your superior, I’m not obligated to prove myself to you. Instead, you should correct your current behavior toward me,” Darius added. He then stood and gazed at the group approaching them with a sneer. “Took you guys long enough.”Shock coated the face of the control room personnel who went to confirm Darius’ claim about the plane. Nevertheless, t
