Chapter 591
Bryce dared not imagine what would happen to him next. He gawked at Darius, eventually closing his mouth and shutting his eyes in resignation.Darius sighed. Just as he felt slightly more in control of the situation and less powerless, an agonized scream burst from Uriah’s lips.“Darius, please, I’m begging you to kill my fiancée as quickly as you’re killing me now if she still behaves absurdly like before,” Uriah screamed. Then, he whipped his head to the side and grabbed Shelvin’s silver needles, stabbing them into his neck.That was not what Darius or Shelvin expected. That said, Shelvin was not as shocked as Darius; he approached Darius’ side and placed his hand on Darius’ shoulder. “Mr. Reid, please don’t be upset. Doing so was the best possible choice for Uriah.”The unexpected situation made him bite down on his lips so hard that they bled as he spoke.Darius turned to look at Shelvin just then. He quickly gathered his emotions and replied, “I understand. Let’s pull ourselves

Then, Shelvin felt like he’d been frozen; he couldn’t make a sound. He wanted to look at Darius to ask for help, but he soon found there was no way for him to do that—he couldn’t even blink! This put him on the brink of tearsAt this moment, Bryan’s calm voice rang out. “Don’t be so nervous. My father, Yarlyn Weiss, was a kind man. If not for that, you wouldn’t be alive now, nor would you have been able to take over his body.”Shelvin’s eyes widened. He thought Yarlyn had ceased to exist when choosing to save him.Darius looked at Bryan. “So, what’s happening now?”Bryan shrugged. “He wanted to say something mean to me; there’s no way my father would allow that.” There was a pleased look on his face, but it quickly faded. “It’s sad—I know for a fact my father’s still alive, but I also know there’s no possibility of me seeing him ever again.” He squatted down and buried his face in his hands; his pain was evident.Darius looked at him calmly and said, “You look like you’re only thirty

Bryan smiled and turned to keep his eyes on Shelvin. However, he didn’t look as relaxed as before—Darius still wasn’t paying attention to him. He dragged his eyes away from Shelvin to look at Darius and dropped his smile, his expression turning serious. “Anyway, it’s beneficial to you.” Darius raised an eyebrow and looked up. “I don’t see how.” He dropped his eyes to his documents again. Bryan’s breathing sped up, and he gritted his teeth. “Do you realize how poor your attitude is right now? How can you say these things?” Darius sighed. “I would’ve thought you’d be a man of few words because of your position, but it seems I was wrong—you have plenty of nonsense to spout. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to listen to you, so if you continue uttering nonsense, you won’t be leaving this place alive.” Bryan paled, but there was no fear in his eyes. He turned to look at Shelvin again and was alarmed to see the excitement on his face. Oddly enough, Yarlyn wasn’t doing anything to

Darius shook his head with a smile. “There’s no need to apologize for something like that.” He stood up and walked over to the window, putting his hands behind his back. “Erin will be here shortly; all our questions will be answered then.” The second his words fell, he saw an egg flying toward him. His lips twitched as he stepped back and said calmly, “Look—their rage is proof of their urgency. No matter how smart one is, they’ll slip up once they become anxious.”Shelvin didn’t say anything. Darius smiled again. “Even if he doesn’t slip up now, he will later.” He turned away from the window, which was being splattered with eggs, and sat behind his desk again. He acted as if nothing had happened and made quick work of his documents.At this moment, Erin knocked on the door. Darius looked up and said, “Come in, Erin.”She pushed the door open, hurried in, and said, “Mr. Reid, the conversation you had earlier with Bryan Weiss is all over the internet.”Darius raised an eyebrow, looking

Many other articles were written similarly, but Darius could tell they were by the same person. He smirked and thought, “Things are getting interesting.” At this moment, footsteps rang out from the corridor, making Darius raise an eyebrow. He didn’t get up from his seat; he knew whoever was outside would barge in, regardless of whether the door was locked.Someone kicked the door down with a loud crash and zoomed into the room. Darius turned to look at him with a smile; there wasn’t a trace of fear in his eyes. “What a surprise to see you here at this hour,” he said calmly. At the same time, he leaned back and placed his arms on the armrests of his chair, looking relaxed.Bryan narrowed his eyes at Darius’ leisurely appearance, suddenly at a loss for how to react—he didn’t expect Darius to be like this. For a second, he looked lost, but he soon regained his composure and glared at Darius. “I’m surprised you can still sit there so calmly.” His voice was shaky despite all his efforts

“They lost their jobs and countless other things because of you!” Bryan’s voice was hoarse from all the shouting.Darius narrowed his eyes. “Your actions are rash, but you sound rather cautious. Why?” He looked Bryan up and down.Bryan frowned, looking repulsed. “Darius, this is where your life ends!” Once his words fell, he felt a gust of wind blasting him to the floor. He lay there, his eyes wide with shock. What the hell had happened? Why was he suddenly on his back? His shock immediately disappeared when he heard Darius walk toward him. Though he didn’t yet know what had happened, he knew Darius was the one who had caused him to end up like this. Before he even realized what he was doing, he growled, “Darius Reid, you’re nothing but a piece of trash who only leeches off the Reid family! What right do you have to treat me like this? You might be wealthier than me for now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the money will end up in your pocket! Plenty of people in the Reid family h

Borisin obviously wasn’t a fan of the Reid family, though. Thus, he’d never mentioned a word about them. This meant that even if Darius was curious to know about the other members of the Reid family, he had no way of finding out more about them…until now. Now, an alternative lay before him. He smiled and said, “Nothing will change the fact that you’re going to die today, but I’ll give you a chance to choose how it happens.”Bryan lowered his head and looked at the ground, feeling disappointed and angry. He’d never imagined himself suffering such a terrible defeat, and he refused to resign himself to such a fate! In that instant, he was filled with strength. He looked up at Darius defiantly. “Who the hell are you? How can you…”Before he could finish his sentence, Darius stepped back and narrowed his eyes. On the other hand, Shelvin stepped forward with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. “Because your father is still alive in me.” As he spoke, the men Bryan brought with

“I figured that if you guys could get along well, I wouldn’t interfere. Now, it looks like things aren’t as straightforward as I thought.” Darius’ eyes were frosty as he looked Yarlyn in the eye. A few seconds later, he suddenly exhaled and started gasping for breath. Darius’ face softened. “Welcome back, Shelvin.”Shelvin coughed violently, putting a hand on the wall to keep himself upright as he nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Reid. I wouldn’t have made it back alive if not for you.” His eyes were red from his coughing fit. “The bastard used his black life force to suffocate me. I’m nothing but a ball of consciousness, but I almost died of asphyxiation! Do you know how humiliating that is? It looks like I was being too merciful toward his son.” As he spoke, he turned to walk back into the room.Darius didn’t budge. He frowned and watched Shelvin storm off. Shelvin was injured—at least, his supply of life force had been cut off earlier—and should’ve been extremely weak at the moment. Besi
