Chapter 380
The cameraman stiffened and gaped at Darius, not expecting this at all. He was so shocked that he didn’t even think about running after Darius. When he heard Darius starting his car, he returned to his senses and dashed toward the car. “No, I don’t need to think about it. I’ll do it! I’ll go to West Atlantics Int’l!”Darius was speechless. He couldn’t believe he’d thought the cameraman reminded him of himself. If he weren’t an enlightened martial artist, there was no way he could’ve heard his shouts. At the same time, he also heard the reporter’s footsteps. He hesitated for a few seconds and decided not to leave yet.To everyone’s surprise, the cameraman was overtaken by the reporter. She darted toward the car, slammed her hands on the hood, and glared at Darius. “Darius Reid, you’re too much! I don’t understand why you’re acting like this, so I won’t let you go!”Darius felt a headache coming on. He didn’t expect her to be so unreasonable. Was she mentally ill or something? He open

“It’s the first event you’re going to attend as my employee.”The cameraman’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect to be given such an opportunity, which was a wonderful surprise. He gulped and said, “Mr. Reid, are you being serious? Shouldn’t I undergo some training before attending this event?”Darius smiled. “Yes, you heard me right. Tonight’s banquet is meant to introduce one of the jewelry brands under my company to everyone. Of course, I don’t expect them to buy anything. My goal is for these guests to learn to admire the jewelry as they would artistic masterpieces, even if they can’t afford to buy them. I’ll consider the banquet a success if we can achieve this.”The cameraman’s jaw dropped, and he looked at Darius in shock. He’d never thought that jewelry could be used to do this, and his shock turned to admiration. Then, he was overcome with anxiety again—he’d just realized that he was in the passenger seat; Darius was driving him! He gulped and subconsciously lifted an arm to grab

There were no words in this world to describe his gratitude. His eyes were red as he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Reid. I’ll definitely take everything you said to heart and ensure my safety while…” Before he could finish, his phone started ringing.Mitchell frowned. He’d been a loner while at the TV station, so he didn’t have any friends there, and his parents knew better than to call him on his work phone. He quickly thought about all the people he knew and realized that none of them matched up. He’d hesitated for too long that it made Darius turn to look at him. “Go ahead and answer it. Whatever happens, just remember that it’s all in the past. You’re my employee now.”After saying this, he pulled over. Only then did Mitchell realize Darius had been trying to pull over for a while now but hadn’t managed to because there were too many cars. Darius unbuckled his seatbelt and smiled. “I know you need to answer the phone, so I’ll give you some space.”Mitchell’s lips parted as h

“We’ll see a lot of each other in the future, so even if you make any mistakes now, we’ll have plenty of time to help you.”Edward’s words made sense, so Mitchell relaxed and exhaled. He smiled and nodded, lowering his head shyly. At this moment, his phone rang again. He frowned when he saw who was calling, then answered it and put it on speaker. “It’s been a while, Clinton. Are you calling because something happened?”Clinton felt like his head was going to explode. “I just saw all the videos of you at the jewelry shop’s entrance, and I was calling about your new employer. I didn’t expect you to reject my call; it just made things worse. Now, your ex-colleague—the one that bullied you—has released a statement on the internet saying that things aren’t like what everyone saw. She said that the whole incident started even before the cameras were out, so only the people present at the time would know what happened.”Mitchell frowned. He had a bad feeling about this. “What has that damne

Edward turned to look sternly at Mitchell as he spoke.After a few seconds, Clinton said, “It’s right of you to be concerned, but there’s no need for that. I’ve already made things clear earlier—he was the one who hung up on me. You can check his call history, too. He hasn’t called me at all today. I only learned about this because of an ugly woman spreading the word everywhere. In fact, I’m not the only one to know about this—many others do, too.”Edward immediately knew who he was referring to. He said, “I understand. Thanks for your reminder. We’ll deal with the rumors as soon as possible, so thank you once again.” He hung up and passed the phone back to Mitchell, his expression becoming relaxed again. “Don’t take my anger to heart. If you don’t make any major mistakes, I won’t treat you with that sort of attitude. Anyway, my stern attitude will help you recognize your mistakes. Once this is over, I’ll still treat you nicely.” Mitchell looked lost. He didn’t know what Edward meant,

Since someone had to stay behind to keep an eye on Shelvin, only one of them could be here and appear before him. This meant that there was an 80 percent chance the man from before was probably the second-most superior apprentice out of the five black-robed men and a 20 percent chance that it was the most superior apprentice.Darius’ expression darkened, and he took in a deep breath. It was apparent from the current situation that something had gone horribly wrong, but at least it could show that Shelvin was safe. This was of some comfort to Darius.When Edward arrived, he saw Darius standing at the door, looking grim. He was surrounded by people who were watching him curiously. Edward frowned and reached out to push the people away so he could get to Darius but to no avail. The spectators couldn’t wait to see what was happening, so they refused to make way. Edward had no choice—he gathered some energy in his palms before pushing them away. He wasn’t the most powerful enlightened mar

“I don’t think you made the right choice by showing up here with your current status and identity.”Erin paled. She didn’t expect Darius to say such harsh things to her, and she couldn’t bring herself to accept it. However, she soon regained her composure at the thought of the things she’d done before. A determined look flashed in her eyes, and she said, “Mr. Reid, I know I made a major mistake before this, but you have no idea how worried I was about you when I saw those rumors on the internet. I think they’re extremely averse to your image, and there’s a chance that the people around you haven’t been doing their level best to handle the matter. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have snowballed so quickly. In fact, these rumors shouldn’t even have appeared!”To her surprise, Darius didn’t even blink. He looked at her and said, “I already know about the rumors you’ve mentioned, but I only want to say that I don’t want to see a repeat of your current behavior. Otherwise, I might not be able

Darius enjoyed some much-needed peace and quiet in these two hours. Edward knocked on the door just as the clock rang, and Darius opened his eyes. He knew it was time. Perhaps they’d all get answers tonight… and perhaps not.Darius got to his feet, feeling expectant. He opened the door to see Edward standing there. Edward was already suited up and looked like a perfect gentleman. “Mr. Reid, the banquet’s starting soon. I’ll stick to you like glue tonight to protect you.”Darius nodded. “Okay. Deal with it as you see fit.”Edward smiled. “Some of the guests are already starting to arrive, and they’ve gathered at the hotel’s courtyard. Should we start giving out the party favors?” His voice was a little shaky toward the end of his sentence, and Darius knew it was because he was excited. He smiled as well and nodded. “Yeah, go ahead. In fact, you can give them out personally if you want to—you’ll get to see their reactions up close.”Edward’s eyes lit up at his suggestion. Soon, however
