Chapter 457
Darius’ appalled gaze shot up at Uriah. “I didn’t expect you to open the car door. Although, if I were you, I’d go to the crime scene to gather the evidence before anyone destroys it.” Lips twitching, Uriah found Darius odd and wondered what on earth the latter was planning. Uriah had always believed he was an intelligent man who could see through many criminals’ minds. Yet, at that moment, he realized he had overestimated himself all these years. He could not read Darius’ mind. Then again, perhaps it was because the criminals Uriah had previously dealt with had simple mindsets, while Darius was the first capable and clever person Uriah had ever encountered. Several minutes passed as he fell deep into confusion. Eventually, Darius could not stand the silence anymore. He extended his leg out of the car but kept his upper body in place. Then, Darius hooked the bottom of the car door to pull it inward, grabbing the handle and slamming it shut. The difference was that Darius had not

Being an enlightened martial artist, Darius could easily detect he was the reason behind the blond officer’s rage. It seemed that things were turning out as Darius had expected.The blond officer’s fist balled as he shot a venomous glare at Darius. “You’re so fucking loathsome, acting all righteous when you’re the real murderer in this situation! It’s your fault that a poor man, whose wealth you stole, died! Yet, that still didn’t satiate you—you even got your subordinates to pick on that unfortunate waiter working for the late Wilson! So what if there was a conflict between you and Wilson, and Wilson wasn’t entirely innocent? That waiter, his subordinate, is innocent in this matter!”Darius frowned, sighing deeply upon learning that was why the officer had tried to punch him earlier. He mustered his last bit of patience to ask, “Did you not hear what your leading officer on this case said? That he saw the cafe’s ‘innocent’ waiter destroying the evidence?”The blond officer’s face bla

The driver sighed deeply, placing his hand on his heart and patting it a few times before starting the engine again.However, the blond officer did not stop there. His gaze pierced through the driver as he snarled, “I’ve always admired you because you’re my senior, and you’re much older than me. However, you’ve let me down. I bet you’re only cutting our current suspect slack because he’s rich and influential. Does money matter that much? Is a simple bribe enough for you to sacrifice your beliefs as a cop?”He exhaled for the longest time, then turned to shoot a vicious sneer at Darius. “Although I don’t know how you knocked my colleague unconscious, I’m pleased you did it because you’ve basically reinforced your status as a criminal.”Darius nodded before shrugging. “Then, shall I do it to you too?” The blond officer’s eyes widened, and he quickly reached his arms behind his back in defense. Unfortunately, Darius was an enlightened martial artist, so no matter how fast the officer mo

Darius let out a long exhale, gradually opened his eyes, and said, “Your entire police unit’s carelessness and interference eliminated any chances my subordinates had at finding evidence to prove my innocence. Not only that, but because of you guys, that waiter destroyed every last shred of evidence before you could even see it. On top of that, your subordinates randomly attacked me on the car ride and even insulted me. The fact that they’re still alive is because I was the bigger person and kept my temper in check.” His eyes darkened while he cocked a brow at Uriah.It was a look that Uriah desperately wanted to avoid, but he could not at that moment. All he could do was clench his jaw and bow, saying, “I apologize on behalf of my subordinates for their wrongful actions, and I promise they’ll pay for what they did. Please trust my words and let him off the hook this once.”Darius shook his head in response. “I have nothing against you, even if the way you view and treat me is no lon

A flattering smile spread across Uriah’s face.However, that only made Darius feel more repulsed by the former. “I don’t wish to waste any more time on you and your police unit either. Despite that, it’s been some time since the incident, and none of your subordinates have approached me to resolve the matter.”Sighing, Uriah looked down at his watch and instantly felt frustrated that Darius was right. Uriah thought he had rested briefly, but it turned out he had been gone for a long while. After composing himself, he nodded at Darius and replied, “My apologies, Mr. Reid. That’s my mistake. I’ll resolve the issue at once—I promise.”He then straightened his back and shot a firm look at Darius, promising, “I’ll get to the bottom of this case within an hour.”Darius shut his eyes just then.Reaching an arm out, Uriah motioned the former to join him in the investigation. He later lowered his arm and strolled ahead, leading the way while turning his head several times to check up on Dariu

Uriah stood beside the two, his face pale from the horrendous scene before him. He reached out at once to stop things from getting worse while facing the ground, not daring to see what would happen next. However, despite his efforts to intervene, he still had no clue how to lessen the animosity between the two.The blond officer’s eyes widened at that moment. He knew what he had said would anger Darius, but he never imagined Darius would try to kill him for it. His heart raced now that things had strayed from his initial plan. Eyes locking onto Uriah, he shot a pleading stare in hopes Uriah would save him.Seeing that, Uriah sighed and shut his eyes to brainstorm a solution to the madness. He mused, “Darius is angry, and his level of rage has peaked significantly. Many unpleasant things have happened between us since I met him, so I’m unsure if Darius will allow me to sort this situation out…”Indeed, his thoughts were correct. When he approached Darius’ side to speak up, Darius ass

Darius had calmly made that statement, which caused Brutus’ brows to furrow. He eyed Darius cautiously, trying to figure out whether Darius was lying. That was when Brutus realized that he had forgotten something crucial—he no longer had any say in the matter now that he had attacked Darius.Darius sneered. He kept his hands behind his back while allowing Brutus to scrutinize him. Eventually, he sighed and ignored Brutus’ stares, commenting, “There were many ways to resolve this situation, yet you guys never bothered to try a single one. I’ve already spent too much time remaining idle in this police station, and my patience has run out, so why don’t you guys phone or email me when you get to the bottom of Wilson’s murder. I’ll be on my way now.”Brutus’ lips pursed with rage once more as he snorted loudly. He waited until everyone’s attention was on him before adding, “I knew you’d do that. You’re so annoying—”As the former spoke, Darius sarcastically interrupted, “You keep blabberi

However, before Ansel could even think of a plan, Darius’ frosty voice rang out. “Throw all your ideas into the trash can because they’ll never happen. Travis wasn’t allowed to leave with us because he was previously involved in many illicit activities.” Ansel’s eyes grew wide as he did not expect that. He wanted to ask for more information but felt it was best not to test Darius’ limited patience at that point, so he lowered his head in silence.Not long passed before their cab arrived at the hotel.Ansel never got the courage to voice his questions. Little did he know his hesitance made it so that he would never have the chance to ask again. Darius had already paid the cab fees, opened the door, and exited without a second thought or glance at Ansel. Thus, Ansel only realized many people were standing outside the car when he snapped out of his daze and got out.Edward stood at the front, but like everyone else, he maintained a stern expression.Ansel’s brows furrowed with growing
