Chapter 460
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

Edward did wait for Darius’ reply before saying, “I think it’s dangerous to go out here now. We might get attacked by the crowd if we pull over now.” Darius nodded, reached out to open the car door, then hopped out of the car before Edward could react. He voiced to their entire entourage, “Our new plan is to abolish all our previous plans. Everyone is free to act according to their situation, but I only ask that you all return to me alive!”That happened within a breath’s time. Thus, Edward was still gawking in the driver’s seat while Darius had already beat up two people blocking the hospital entrance. That shocked Edward so much that he forgot to turn the steering wheel, which caused him to crash into one of their enemies.A pained scream tore through the air, and it caught the attention of everyone.Meanwhile, the others who had come along with Darius immediately dispersed, taking advantage of the distraction to take down the enemy team. They were all highly skilled bodyguards tha

Darius scrutinized each of them but kept a gentle tone and asked, “May I know why you guys are looking for me?” The hospital director’s brows furrowed. Still, he mustered all his courage to lock eyes with Darius before boldly exclaiming, “That guy in your arms has many unpaid medical bills, so he owes this hospital a lot of money!”While speaking, the director examined Darius like he was testing the waters. In truth, he was hesitant about confronting Darius as he was unsure whether Darius could cover the expensive medical bills. Nevertheless, he needed to take his shot for the hospital’s sake. Much to his surprise, Darius nodded.It was almost as if dollar bills appeared in the director’s eyes. He grinned from ear to ear but suddenly spoke more arrogantly. Raising one finger at a time, he said to Darius, “Firstly, no one has paid his hospitalization fee for the month that he’s stayed here. That, and his medical fees, require payments.”“A month?” Darius cocked a brow, his once polit

“Who’s to say those aren’t clothes you bought from a random unknown shop? Not to mention, you’ve only acted unreasonably since stepping into the hospital! You must now do as the law says and pay your outstanding bills before leaving! Alternatively, you could go back to your hotel and gather some money before returning for the patient. Either way, I’d advise against digging up every last coin you have to pay the bills in one go, as you’ll end up a pauper.” While saying that, the director smirked.A faint growl came from Darius as he sighed. Pivoting on his heel, he then ordered, “Edward!”It did not take long for Edward to fetch a wheelchair over.Once Darius gingerly placed Zack onto the wheelchair, he straightened his back and waved dismissively. “Get Zack out of here.”Edward stiffened, his brows knitting while he did not do as told. He merely stood by Darius’ side in silence. He held his ground, not wanting to leave, despite knowing he would get punished when all of this was over.
