Chapter 594
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

Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. “I’m surprised you’re so open-minded.” He smiled in satisfaction. “I didn’t expect this. It’s rare that I’m pleased, so I’ll reward you for this.” William looked pleasantly surprised at his words, making him smile again. “Your attitude surprises me every time.”William didn’t say anything, but the smile on his face widened. Darius leaned back and took a deep breath. “If that’s the case, I promise you that I won’t bear a grudge against your family for everything that’s happened before today. I’ll wipe the slate clean.”William’s eyes widened. Darius raised an eyebrow, thinking about how different William was from his sister, Calypso. From what he’d seen so far, every member of the Anderson family placed great importance on relationships and emotional bonds—whether familial or not—but Calypso seemed to be the exception to this. The only person she cared about was herself. He didn’t linger on these thoughts for long; it wasn’t any of his bus

Darius raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and smiled. “I still don’t trust you. If the Reid Consortium were to acquire the Anderson Group, how would it be different from being sold off by Calypso? Either way, it’ll end up belonging to someone else, and the Anderson family will no longer be independent.”William’s eyes turned redder as he said anxiously, “Please, stop saying that. I’m telling you nothing but the truth! Besides, the two situations are completely different! The Anderson family has been around for many years, but it’s only become what it is now through my hard work. Obviously, Calypso couldn’t care less about that—that’s why she’s taking advantage of my absence to sell my heart and soul. And if the company were to be sold to anyone but you, the Anderson name will forever be forgotten. I can’t live with that.” He trained his gaze on Darius without any hesitation.Though William seemed to be moving in slow motion in Darius’ eyes, his instinct as an enlightened martial artist told

At the same time, she turned to look at Darius. When Erin saw the calm look on his face, she knew she’d guessed correctly and gulped. After a long moment, she asked, “William isn’t out of his mind, is he?”Darius shook his head and sighed. “He’s too worried about his daughter.” He turned to look at a corner of the Anderson family’s villa despite it being too far away for them to see anything. A few seconds later, he said, “Hurry up.”The chauffeur nodded. “Yes, sir.” He put the pedal to the metal, and they shot forward so quickly that Erin was pressed onto her seat due to the momentum. Less than a minute later, they arrived at the villa, which was more than a mile away. Darius raised an eyebrow and silently gave the chauffeur a thumbs-up.William Anderson was lying on the ground, and Darius couldn’t sense his breathing because too many people surrounded him. He got out of the car, walked to William, and saw his chest rise weakly. The bodyguards didn’t know who he was, but they could
