Darius added, “Since the two of you calledme over, I think it’s only fair that you both face me in dealing with theissue.”The director shot up from the couch. Hisbelly rolls bounced like jelly as he dashed toward the door. It took him lessthan a second to do so.Daisy saw everything happen, her eyesrounding with interest for the humorous scene. She knew the director hadrecently gained a lot of weight, so he never made any explosive movements. Thatwas the first time Daisy saw him doing that.When the director finally arrived at thedoor, he placed one hand on his waist while hunching over and panting. Hisbreathing was so fast that anyone would have worried he would pass out in thenext second. Standing aside, Daisy lowered her head, butit was not out of worry; she did so to hide her smile. After all, Darius hadalready opened the door, so he and the director were awkwardly staring eachother down. Daisy kept her head low and pursed her lipstautly, suppressing her laughter.

“What a joke. Have you forgotten? Youcalled and texted him in front of me, saying that you did all these thingsbecause you fell for his good looks on TV. None of this would have happened ifhe was willing to date you!” A sneer wrinkled the director’s face as hescoffed, “Besides, it seems you’ve misunderstood something—you’re not mywoman.”Darius felt so repulsed by the two thatbile gathered at the back of his throat. “If you guys called me here just to boastabout how you’ll force me into coercion, well, I can tell you this—you’repractically courting death by doing so!” he interrupted, reaching a hand up tomassage his temples. “Exterminating my foes is the last thingI’m willing to do. But now? I’m okay with it.”With that, he headed into the office andsat on the sofa, leisurely crossing one leg over the other.Meanwhile, the director and Daisy weresitting and lying flat on the ground, respectively. Both instantly widenedtheir eyes at Darius; this office was supposed to b

Darius could not even guarantee that theidiotic director could understand what he had to say, so he remained silent.Yet, he was shocked that the director viewed his silence as a sign of defeat.The director saw it as confirmation thatDarius was wearing a fake. Hence, he jutted his chin at Darius with the utmostarrogance and spoke even louder than before. “Why aren’t you responding? Is itbecause I’ve guessed correctly, and you’re now afraid?”Darius did not want to waste another breathexplaining things to the director anymore, so he merely approached the latterto emphasize, “I’m a cantankerous man, which I believe you’ve heard from othersin the past few days. However, what shocks me is that you insist on upsettingme.”As he shook his head, he cracked hisknuckles, letting out a crisp and chilling sound.Upon hearing that, the director’s kneesgave in. He plopped onto the ground while locking eyes with Darius and gulpingnervously. He dared not speak anymore as he could tell Da

“You’re clearly an unknown brat. I don’tknow how you won the hearts of your little family and got them to buy you thatexpensive watch, but let me tell you this! If I were you, I’d return the watchor at least gift it to someone else to gain benefits for my family!” thedirector bossed.“What you just said is very contradictory.Earlier, you claimed my watch was a counterfeit. However, now you’re saying myfamily gifted me the real deal.” Darius cocked a brow. He spoke so calmly thateveryone could hear the lingering threat in his tone. It did not take a genius to tell he was ina foul mood at that point. Sighing, Darius balled his fist and cracked hisknuckle again. However, this time, he followed up by bending over, reachingout, and raising the overweight director with one arm. He thundered, “You said I never did a DNAtest to prove my blood relation before reuniting with my family, didn’t you?”The director felt as if an invisible forcehad locked his neck in place. He wanted t

“There’s also the guy at the company’s mainentrance who oversees all our security personnel!” At that thought, all thehairs down the director’s back straightened.Standing opposite the former, Dariusquirked a brow and remarked, “That’s an odd reaction. You’re radiating terror,but I can’t imagine why. Need I remind you that you asked me to come here? Ithought you’d at least be mentally prepared to face the consequences once Iarrive.”The director’s jaw fell open for thelongest time. At some point, the director snapped to his senses and pleaded,“I-I’m sorry! I’m more than willing to relay your request to my superiors—Iswear I am, but I can’t do it because I might lose my job. After all, thecompany doesn’t belong to one person, and we’re also a television network…” He gulped and stared at the ground aftersaying that. The cogs in his brain turned rapidly, recalling everything aboutDarius that he had learned from Daisy earlier. The director fell deep inthought, hoping to conv

Darius raised a brow, recognizing the leadsecurity guard because they had taken the elevator together earlier. He calmlycommented, “You look better in this suit than in your security guard uniformfrom before.” The former’s reaction was abnormally calmdespite seeing the lead security guard, who would have earned only 2500 dollarsa month, change into an expensive suit. That transformation indicated the guardwas, in reality, someone higher in status and was responsible for distributingthe other employees’ paychecks.Because Darius was collected, the leadsecurity could not hold back his emotions. His brows raised to the top of hisforehead in shock as he smiled at Darius. “You don’t seem surprised by thereveal of my true identity. Did you already find out beforehand?”Upon hearing that, Darius, who was about totake a step forward, stopped moving. The elevator doors’ threshold was the onlything standing between him and the lead security guard. He raised a brow, replying, “Of

Darius took one step forward, turned toface ahead, and entered the conference room. The lead security guard froze with a blanklook. It took a long time before he snapped to his senses, rushing up to Dariuswhile his eyes darted around the space. Then, he smiled warmly at Darius and said,“Before we assign FT TV’s new successor, I’ll serve you to the best of myabilities. That’s pretty much how things will go. In any case, I’m more thanhappy to be at your service.”A frown briefly appeared on Darius’ face,but he did not say a word since he knew the lead security guard beside him wastelling the truth—those were the security guard’s genuine thoughts. However, that was unnecessary to Darius,who only hoped to gather the television network company’s higher-ups into theconference room at once; only then could he relax and do what he wanted. Eventhough he felt anxious, he did not show it; even the muscles on his face wererelaxed the entire time. No dangerous or threatening powers

“As you wish, then. I’ll gather the otherboard of directors to begin the meeting. I’ve already informed them earlierthrough my laptop, but they ignored me—they’ve never taken me seriously.There’s also the troublesome business manager I previously recruited. AlthoughI’m unwilling to admit it, there’s no denying my lack of ability to manage thistelevision network. Likewise, my indifference allowed the employees to doterrible things as they pleased.” Then, he walked away with his head hunglow. Disappointment weighed his shoulders down as he had once spent a lot ofenergy on running FT TV. Yet, these days, all he could do was sit at thetelevision network’s main entrance and filter through which guests were herewith bad intentions. To make things worse, he now had no choice but to handover FT TV to Darius.Still sitting on the chair, Darius couldtell the former’s every word was sincere. He mused, “Those are indeed hissentiments. It seems he’s genuinely regretting his past fail
