Chapter 601
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

His comrades had abandoned him mid-fight! His breathing sped up, but he didn’t change his mind. He pointed at them and roared, “You’re all weak, cowardly, good-for-nothings! Look at the clothes he’s wearing—they’re obviously cheap and low quality, which means he lives in squalor. Don’t you guys even have the nerve to beat up a poor and powerless man? I’m humiliated to be associated with you guys!”He turned back to Darius. This time, his gaze was appraising. He looked Darius up and down, then cleared his throat and said, “Brat, I’ll give you a word of advice—the Anderson family’s wealthier than you could imagine, and Miss Calypso’s gotten to know plenty of wealthy people recently. They’ve invested in the Anderson family, and we’ve even gotten pay raises. You have no hope of winning against them!” His tone was resolute, and he was obviously proud to say this.Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. “You may be right, but there’s one thing you’ve gotten wrong—the Anderson family might not

Darius let go of him, crossed his arms, and took a few steps back while looking at him mockingly. “I thought you’d realize what a huge mistake you made and apologize to me.”William gaped at him. He didn’t know what to say, so he remained silent, merely lowering his eyes to the ground.When Darius saw he wasn’t willing to say anything, even in such a situation, he didn’t push him. Instead, he turned to walk into the villa. The bodyguards made to stop him again, but they stiffened when he stopped. Then, he stretched out an arm and sent some life force their way, forming fists with it and landing blows on them. They immediately collapsed onto the ground, and Darius smiled. No one dared to speak, including William. He merely followed Darius into the villa.Contrary to Darius’ expectations, William didn’t trail him for long. Once they were in the villa, he immediately headed toward the staircase. Darius wanted to stop him but ultimately didn’t—William had moved too quickly. And so, Dari

“He might be in a lot of danger now because he’s useless to those people.”“Those people?” Darius raised an eyebrow, looking curious. “Who are you talking about?”Kate looked hesitant, but she quickly made up her mind and said, “I don’t know either. All I know is they were in black robes.”Darius frowned. He buried his confusion and placed a hand on Kate’s arm. “Got it. I’ll save your uncle, but you and your father need to get out of here.”Kate relaxed at his promise, then turned to look at William. “Dad, let’s go. I trust Darius. Now that he’s promised me, he’ll definitely save Uncle Benji.” William nodded and turned to look at Darius with a complicated gaze. He parted his lips to ask for more details but ultimately decided against it.Darius said calmly, “Don’t worry, Benji will be fine. You two will only cause more trouble for me if you stay.” After that, he turned away from them to face the people who’d gathered outside the room.Calypso was in the lead, and she looked at Willia

This time, however, Calypso had a pleading look in her eyes. William frowned and moved to stand behind Kate, using her to block Calypso’s gaze. Instantly, Calypso’s eyes widened, and her breathing sped up.Darius smiled. “Alright, we have a definite answer now—your brother isn’t going to save you.”Calypso pursed her lips tightly and turned to face Darius. Her eyes darted around crazily as she tried to figure out what Darius meant. Darius’ smile widened as he said, “You’ve given up hope by now, right? Are you ready to tell me everything?” His tone wasn’t dangerous or threatening, making Calypso’s heart settle in her chest again. She said shakily, “Let go of me, and I’ll allow you to leave. I can act as if none of this happened.”Darius raised an eyebrow, and the look on his face became mocking. “Honestly, you’re dumber than I thought.” His disdain made her eyes bulge. “I’m not blind—I saw every minute change in your expression. Come now, let’s have a nice chat.” He looked her in the

“He already told us everything we need to know.” Erin looked down at Calypso as she spoke. Then, she squatted down with a thick rope in her hands. It made Calypso’s eyes widen in fear, and she tried to scramble to her feet to flee. Suddenly, she felt like something was controlling her and stopping her from moving. Erin took advantage of this and started tying the rope around her.Once again, Calypso parted her lips to speak. This time, however, her tone was pleading, and her words were no longer insulting. She cried, “Darius, I know I made a mistake. Please, don’t take me away.” She had to buy some time—had Erin mentioned Bryan Weiss earlier? Calypso knew he was far more powerful than her, and if he’d gotten caught, no one could defeat Darius. She looked at him with bloodshot eyes. “What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything.”Darius tucked his hands in his pockets and nodded at her without another word. She hesitated before looking at him, but her hesitation led to Erin tig

Darius was excited. Although he’d previously had the chance to spar with some enlightened martial artists and had Edward and Shelvin train with him every day, he could still clearly feel these methods wouldn’t be half as effective as getting into actual duels. With this thought in mind, his eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the old man.The old man sensed this. A trace of surprise flitted across his face as he watched Darius attack. “It’s only been a year since your enlightenment, but you’re already much more powerful than most people. I’ve suddenly lost the urge to kill you.” He smiled and looked at Darius with interest.Darius scowled, repulsed at having another man look at him like that. He glowered at the old man and attacked him at top speed. However, no matter how fast he was, the old man was always one step ahead of him. He was a hair’s breadth away from landing a blow on the old man when he abruptly stopped—not of his own volition, of course. He sensed a powerful

As soon as his words fell, the old man’s voice boomed from all directions, making Darius feel like his ears were going to go deaf. “I hear you, but you can’t deny the result would be the same if I were to employ another method, right?” Darius stiffened; his face was starting to turn grey from the lack of oxygen, and his vision was blurry. However, he remained on his feet despite his wavering body. He’d never realized how hard it was to hold on and stay strong. He tried to look around again, but his actions only made him use his oxygen faster. Finally, he stopped breathing. The old man sighed. “You were destined to die, especially because of your obstinacy.” Unbeknownst to him, Darius hadn’t actually died. On the contrary, he seemed to have been transported to another world. Everything there was shrouded in darkness, and he could feel strong gusts of wind billowing around him. He raised an eyebrow—this was his first time seeing something like this. He wanted to stand up but felt
