Darius’ ears perked up, and he realized he could hear several cars coming from a distance. His expression immediately turned icy. “I think I know why she’s doing this.”Erin looked at him blankly.He sucked in a deep breath, then said, “Because the Gillette family will be here in ten minutes, at most.”Erin and Alicia both frowned. They quickly got to their feet and hurried to stand before him, wanting to shield him with their bodies. They ended up standing shoulder to shoulder.Darius lowered his head and looked at them with a smile on his face. “There’s no need for you two to be so nervous. It won’t solve the problem. If anything, it’s just going to increase the time I need to spend on resolving this.”The two women shared a look, but neither of them said anything since this was only their first meeting. Then, they averted their gazes and breathed deeply. As they fell deep into their thoughts, Darius stretched his neck. “Honestly, there’s nothing to worry about. The person behind th

As she spoke, shepointed at a guy lying on the ground.Darius looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “You’re worried about the Gillettefamily coming here.”Alicia nodded.“Yes, sir. They’re extremely unreasonable and act based on their whims andfancies. There’s no way we can predict what they’ll do.” She looked at Darius.“If we stay here, we’ll put ourselves in grave danger. Also, the factthat Samantha did a one-eighty worries me. It proves that she knows they’realmost here. We’ve kept an eye on her all this time, so I have no idea how shefound out about that.”Darius took inher frustrated expression, then walked into the courtyard. He put his handsbehind his back and looked in the direction that the Gillette family’s carswere coming from. “You’re worried that because the Gillettes know we’re here,they’ll be able to swiftly come up with a counterattack against us.”Alicia didn’texpect him to understand her so well. She widened her eyes in surprise. Dariusdidn’t turn to loo

“After all,you’re Darius Reed. I’ll do anything I can to help you.”Darius looked athis watch. “I don’t have much time left for you. The Gillette family’s going tobe here soon.”Shelvin’s eyeswidened as he looked at Darius in disbelief. “How’s that possible? Shouldn’tthey have their hands full right now? Why would they show up here?”Darius glanced atSamantha. “I think the answer to that probably has something to do with thiswoman, but I don’t know exactly what it is. You can look into the matteryourself and tell me the answer once you have it.” He stretched his neck.Erin hurried overto him. She sized Shelvin up, then frowned. “Mr. Reid, what’s he doing here?”Shelvin was alittle hurt by her question. He raised his voice in dissatisfaction and said,“Hey, you may be beautiful, but you can’t be so contemptuous of me! I’m a greatguy, and plenty of women were interested in me even before I became anenlightened martial artist. They were practically dying for me to marry them,

He cleared histhroat and straightened his collar before saying, “It’s a skill that weenlightened martial artists can use. You just need to direct that warm energyto your eyes to see everything you want—anything at all,as long as you think about it.”This came as asurprise to Darius. He widened his eyes and looked at Shelvin doubtfully, whichShelvin didn’t appreciate. Shelvin took a deep breath and looked at Dariussincerely, then said, “Darius, I’m not lying to you. Why would I whenI want to work for you in the future?” He paused, then continued calmly, “Ifyou don’t believe me, you can try it. You’ll definitely see whatever you wantto.”Darius was stilldoubtful, but he couldn’t suppress his curiosity. He tried to direct the energyfrom his abdomen to his eyes. What happened next shocked him—it was the exactscene he’d imagined!Erin flushed whenshe saw him staring at her. She took a deep breath before saying, “Mr. Reid,you’re making me shy, staring at me like that.” As sh

She saw Shelvin and Darius’ eyes sweep over their surroundings and finally land on her for the longest time, but they didn’t move. This made her feel uneasy. She frowned, then swiftly walked over to them. Then, she held her head high and said, “What are you looking at? I bet you’ve been spending all your time ogling at women instead of working, judging from the fact that you can only afford to drive a car worth half a million. If I were you, I wouldn’t just stand here and gape like an idiot; it won’t earn you any money. You’ll just be depressed that none of these women you’re ogling will be yours.”Darius’ lips twitched. Honestly, he didn’t think it’d be an easy feat to find someone wealthier than him, but it was obvious that Samantha disagreed with him. A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes and quickly disappeared.Samantha suspected she was seeing things, and since she couldn’t figure out what was happening, she stopped thinking about it. She stalked toward Darius and closed the

No matter how much he refused to admit it, he knew she was telling the truth. However, he smirked and said, “Even if you’re telling the truth, it doesn’t bother me. I couldn’t care less. You may not know this, but your father can’t harm me in any way. Perhaps it’s because you’re too naive, but you should know that saving the world isn’t something we care about.”He raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Erin. He saw that she already had some results from her investigation, so he flicked his wrist and and let Samantha go.She glared at him, her eyes filled with hatred. However, it didn’t bother himHe walked over to Erin and leaned against the table, his eyes focusing on the monitor. “How is it? Do you have anything?”Erin smiled and nodded. “Yes, sir.” She turned the laptop to him and said, “The truth is shocking. I decided to delve into this from a different perspective and used whatever information we had to search for Samantha’s father, Michael Williams. Indeed, he’s a wealthy ma

Now, however, he was being forced to, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. He looked at Darius with bloodshot eyes and roared, “This is all your fault! You’re the one who killed my son! He didn’t even do anything!”Darius’ eyes widened as he looked at Wilson, raising his voice to say, “You can blame me for killing him, but you can’t say that he died in vain. He’s done so many illegal and immoral things and escaped the law so many times because of you. He even killed someone because of his own selfish desires!” He paused, taking in Wilson’s bloodshot eyes and heavy panting, then calmed down and smiled. “I know there’s no point in saying all this at this point.”Wilson stalked toward Darius. “I think I’ve been very patient with you so far, more patient than I’ve been with anyone else. Yet, you harmed my beloved son.”Darius frowned. “I don’t think we’ve even met before today.” He didn’t receive a reply from Wilson, however. Wilson just growled, “Look at you—you’re no different

He reached an armout and quickly grabbed a gun from the guy standing next to him before hecocked it. Then, he aimed it at Darius and forced out through gritted teeth, “ I’ll show youthere’s no human more powerful than a gun!” However, in the next second, hefelt the gun leave his hand. He remainedrooted to the spot and slowly looked up to see the gun in Darius’ hand—it wasthe one he’d been holding earlier. He was about to make his move when a woman’scrisp voice rang out. Darius found thisvoice to be a little familiar, but he couldn’t place it. He didn’t move; partof him was distracted by the woman’s voice. However, most of his attention wasstill focused on Wilson. When Wilson heardthe woman’s voice, he looked at Darius and said mockingly, “My, look at that.She was my future daughter-in-law, but she’s so desperate to be with you now!And at the price of my son’s life!” He gnashed his teeth as if he was bitingdown on Darius’ flesh.Unfortunately forhim, Darius didn’t tak
