Chapter 235
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

He looked at Darius confidently as if this was all part of his plan.Darius narrowed his eyes. “Honestly, you’re wrong.”His original plan was to deliver a devastating blow to the Gillette Group and reduce its net worth exponentially, but it seemed that this wouldn’t work out.Darius raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at Erin. “He hurt you earlier. Are you willing to let him off the hook?”Wilson narrowed his eyes at Darius’ words. He felt deeply uneasy, but he didn’t dare say anything. In fact, he didn’t even dare look at Darius, afraid that he would accidentally reveal his true emotions. He sucked in a breath, thinking that this was his first time feeling so frustrated. He swore to himself that if Darius didn’t end him right here and now, he would definitely find a chance to get revenge in the future. He’d make Darius disappear off the face of this world.As soon as he thought about this, he sensed Darius’ gaze change. He raised his head and stared directly into Darius’ eyes, bu

The car was still parked in its spot. As Pearl deliberated over what to do, something seemed to happen in the courtyard. Darius opened his eyes, and what he saw rendered him speechless.Four men appeared before him—three of them were burly and tattooed, and the remaining one’s eyes kept darting around. Who knew what was going on in his mind?Darius narrowed his eyes. He didn’t really want to have anything to do with them, but there didn’t seem to be any reason for him to turn them down. He rolled his shoulders, then sighed and looked at them. “Bring on whatever questions you have.”To his surprise, the official in the lead merely looked up at the sky before pulling out an order for arrest. This wasn’t something Darius expected, so he narrowed his eyes even more. The women paled, unable to utter a word. Of course, this didn’t bother him.He merely looked at the officials and nodded seriously. “You guys don’t have to look so wary. I won’t do anything to you; And I trust that you guys ar

Miguel felt Darius’ hand wrap around his neck, and it wasn’t a nice feeling. He became especially angry when he heard what Darius said. He struggled to take a deep breath, his eyes bulging. It wasn’t easy to do so because of Darius’ grip, but he managed to force out, “Darius, you’ve made a mistake. As long as you admit to your wrongdoings or pay a fee, no one will come after you anymore. But if you harm me, it’ll only worsen your crimes. You won’t be able to bear the consequences!”“Thanks for the advice, dude. But if I were you, I’d think about this—you were the one to attack me out of nowhere, yet you’re telling me to think about the consequences.”Miguel paled and widened his eyes in shock. “You’re about to get locked up at the detention center! How dare you speak to me like that!”Darius looked at him, his face is void of emotion. His tone was mocking, though, as he said, “I wouldn’t be saying things like that if I were you. After all, you have no idea how rich I am.”Miguel stare

All sheremembered was that she’d walked into a room. Before she could even see whatwas in there, someone threw her a protective suit and shoved her out. She tookin a deep breath and looked at one of the men she’d come here with. “Sorry, but I’mhere for an interview.”The man noddedand gave her an encouraging look. “Good luck, then.” Afterward, he gestured atthe bodies with his jaw and walked away.Darius was nowstanding in the middle of the hall, and he was repelled by the bodies. Thiswasn’t something that was supposed to happen. The skinny official, BorisinMartinez, narrowed his eyes, noticing Darius’ odd behavior.He frowned, tooka step back, and pulled out a walkie-talkie. “How many more are there?”The voice on theother end of the line said respectfully, “Sir, those are all the bodies wefound. There are seventy-two of them in total.”Borisin nodded.“Where are the people who came with Darius?”The person on theline probably didn’t expect him to ask this question. Aft

Borisin scoffedat him. “Aren’t you worried there’ll be a repeat of what just happened?”Darius’ templesthrobbed, and it got on his nerves. He rubbed them lightly and said, “What’sthere to worry about? You’re still alive, aren’t you?”When he returnedto the hotel, he saw a bunch of people crowding around the entrance. He stayedin the car and focused his attention on them. Sure enough, he heard anobnoxious voice ring out, saying, “Look, this iswhat you get for offending me! That dumbass Darius, his lackeys, and mistresshaven’t shown their faces here anymore, have they?”“Of course! As expectedof Lyon! Man, who does that fucking Darius, or whatever his name is, think heis? I'll teach him a lesson the next time he shows up here!”The people in thecar frowned. After all, Darius had lost some of his memories for unknownreasons, and this wasn’t good news to them. Also, Erin was worried that it hadsomething to do with his health. She’d seen howmuch effort he’d put into his wor

Darius heard someone roar outside, so he looked out and saw Lyon on the ground, covered in blood again. This wasn’t something he’d expected. He raised an eyebrow and met Lyon’s hatred-filled gaze. He sighed.Borisin looked at him with a smile in his eyes. “I thought you’d take his life like you did that old lady’s.”“Stop trying to frame me. Her death has nothing to do with me.”Borisin narrowed his eyes. “Don’t you think that sounds weird?”Darius nodded, propping his head up with his arm on the window. “It does.” He crossed his legs at the knees and tapped his fingers against the seat’s armrest.“There’s really no need for you to test me because all you’re going to get is another lie.” He wiggled his eyebrows and shut his eyes, not saying anything else.Borisin frowned at his attitude. His reaction wasn’t within Borisin’s expectations, so he didn’t know what to say. Soon, the silence was broken. When the fighting ended, Bridget ran over to them. “Mr. Reid, I’ve already rounded everyo

Borisin followedDarius. He had his own thoughts about this but couldn’t put them into action.On the otherhand, when Edward heard Darius say his name, he flung Lyon aside withouthesitation to go to him. However, the moment he had his back to Lyon, Lyonsuddenly pounced on him and wrapped his arms around Edward’s leg. He startedwailing, “I know I’ve made many mistakes, but I hope you can forgive me thistime.”Edward shook hisleg. Lyon was clinging to his leg so tightly that his blood flow wasrestricted. He took a deep breath and forced out through gritted teeth, “Let mego, or I swear I’ll never forgive you!”Lyon slowlyreleased him. Edward moved away and gave him a look before heading to Darius’room. He was greeted by a shocking scene, making his eyes widen—Borisin wasgripping Darius’ hand tightly, and he was crying. It was thecomplete opposite of his usual cold, steely image. Edward didn’t know whetherhe’d been hiding this from them from the start or whether this was a
