Chapter 205
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

The flight attendant’s cheeks took on a bright pink hue. Even her voice sounded much gentler. “Dearest passenger, we’re about to take off, so that man shouldn’t be standing up now as it will affect the take-off procedures. That’s why I lectured him. My actions also make the overall flight smoother for passengers like you.”Her intentionally honeyed tone sounded like nails scratching against a chalkboard in Darius’ ears. He was not impressed and could discern the woman’s nature, as well as what she was thinking of at the moment.“I don’t care what your thought processes is,” Darius said, “But I hope that you won’t cause me any more displeasure in the journey ahead.”The flight attendant's face turned pale, unable to accept what Darius said. It was shocking to her that Darius, a gentleman from top to bottom, could utter such harsh words. She stood rooted to her spot for the longest time before the in-flight announcement stated they would be taking off soon. Nonetheless, she ignored it.Her p

Darius was still curious about the situation. After all, according to the airline company’s rules, a flight was unlikely to take off within an hour and a half if its door opened.The passengers were losing their patience at that point. They grew restless and began clamoring, causing a racket in the cabin. Only Darius remained unbothered by things as he sat in his seat.Meanwhile, Kate assumed that the door had opened because of her. A proud grin spread across her face just then. She was pleased with how quickly the captain had acted upon her orders.“How about it? Are you afraid now? Know that a plane won’t fly if I don’t allow it. So, do as I say if you want to continue your flight comfortably,” she said, smirking while raising her chin triumphantly at Darius. She felt as though things were going her way. Darius ignored her as he heard some familiar footsteps. He turned toward the door and saw two security accompanying Elizabeth into the plane, their hands on her shoulder.However, the tw

Kate intended to say more, but Darius suddenly opened his eyes.His icy glare sent chills down everyone’s spines while he ordered the captain, “You may fly this plane at its regular speed if you’re able to take off within ten minutes.”Anxiously, Kate chewed on her bottom lip while scrutinizing Darius’ face. Only after seeing his blank look did she realize he was serious. Thus, she nodded at the hesitant captain beside her. “Go. Get the plane to Almiron City as quickly as you can.”The seat in front of Darius was empty.Kate did not hesitate to sit there and buckle her seatbelt.“I don’t think that’s your seat,” said a frowning Darius. “Besides, it bothers me.”He felt a hitch in Kate’s breath but did not dwell on it. Instead, he shut his eyes.The plane soon took off.Silence ensued in the cabin as no one wanted to bring up what had happened before taking off.Throughout the journey, Kate kept looking behind her, but Darius’ eyes did not open, nor did he show signs of wanting to speak to her.

Kate bowed at Darius with the utmost respect just then. “There’s nothing much I have to repay you. Regarding the company’s shares, I’ll contact my dad and discuss things clearly with him. Also, my dad previously gifted me two companies within the entertainment industry. While I can’t do much, I can give these companies to you.”Both Darius’ brows raised. He was very much surprised by the generosity of the woman before him, so he asked, “What do you want in exchange for giving me those companies?”Kate did not expect Darius to react so candidly. Nevertheless, she knew he had likely agreed to her request then. After sighing in relief, she answered, “I hope my dad can have a better experience at the detainment center.”Darius’ hand that swiped at his laptop’s touchpad froze.He looked up at Kate, examining her serious expression before grinning. Yet, his grin was not because he was happy.“You think,” he suddenly said, “That your father can’t contact you because I had someone lock him up at th

“Besides, I genuinely love your father. I didn’t get together with him for his wealth,” Elizabeth added.Whispers about the two women’s argument broke out in the cabin.“I trust the one restrained by the security personnel.”“That flight attendant clearly isn’t a good person. While she’s pretty, her sharp gaze makes it seem like she’s constantly plotting something vile.”“Indeed. Plus, I don’t get it. Why would that lady work as a flight attendant if she’s that rich?”Kate’s fists balled by her sides when she heard the discussions from her surroundings. She wanted to rebuke their claims but did not know what to say. Her breathing sped up alongside her heartbeat.That was when Darius interfered, declaring, “I think, as a woman under security personnel’s restraint, she shouldn’t have the right to speak with anyone.”Only then did the two security personnel get up from their seats, no longer as lazy as they were before. They scowled at Darius but did not say anything. All they did was stand, the

“—although that seems like a lot of money, it’s simply a speck of sand in the eyes of real tycoons. In particular, enlightened martial artists, sometimes called awakened martial artists, are a more precious resource than money. Thus, they get acquired by many wealthy people—Shelvin is an exception, though. His case is very much abnormal.” While Darius was deep in thought, the entire cabin fell into chaos.After all, someone got shot to death in a plane many miles above the ground. That was enough to drive any passenger out of their mind.Even the two security personnel jolted awake from their rest at that point. Their heads turned rapidly, scanning every corner of the plane. Yet, they did not find out much, nor were the circumstances they were facing any better. Everyone was in hysterics.Some were screaming and rushing back to the end of the plane, wanting to distance themselves from the first-class seats. At the same time, others wanted to know what had happened, so they rushed forward
