Chapter 66
The next two days went on as usual for Darius. He went to classes as usual, practiced his martial arts and made some time to relax. Now that majority of his work had been delegated to Erin, he now had some free time for himself. The situation with Helen was however a bit complicated. Although he was still shocked about the kiss from Helen, there was nothing he could do about it as Helen had put him in a bind. He had gone to the hospital today as her roommate was being discharged. He drove her roommate to her dormitory personally with the hopes of fishing her out, but the result was the same as other days. Since she kissed him on the night he saved her, Helen had avoided him like the plague. He had called her several times to keep her updated about the progress of her friend in the hospital, but she had refused to pick any of his calls. He only got reports from Erin that she visited the hospital regularly during the time her roommate was hospitalized. Frustrated by her antics, he h

Darius heart beat sped up even more when he heard the man’s declaration. At that point he knew that the man bore only hostile intentions towards him. He wanted his life? That put Darius in a dilemma. From the aura the man gave off, Darius knew that he was no match for him. However there was something that confused him. “Why do you want to kill me?” Darius asked. He had not done anything evil or bad to warrant someone to suddenly appear and try to take his life. He had always maintained a low profile since he became wealthy, so he was genuinely confused at this man’s appearance. “No hard feelings. I got a job to kill you. It’s as simple as that.” The man replied. “Who sent you?” Darius asked again. He was very curious about that. “That I cannot answer; as it is against my rule to rat out my employer.” The man started. “Besides, you don’t need to worry about that. You will not be leaving here alive anyway.” As soon as the man completed that statement, he launched himself at Dari

[Reid Mansion] James Reid, Darius’ grandfather and former head of the Reid consortium was going through some documents in his study. The documents were a report of how well Darius had been performing as the new head of the Reid consortium. Ever since he handed the leadership of the Reid consortium down to Darius, his life had been very basic. Apart from the occasional reports of how the companies were faring, he completely detached himself from company matters. He would have not demanded the reports of how the companies were faring, but he needed to know, as Darius was merely a student and still new to the business world. Therefore he was glad when he read the reports and saw that Darius was doing incredibly well. There were even increases in the stock of the companies. James sighed. He was indeed glad, as it proved that his grandson was just as shrewd as the rest of the Reid family when it came to business. He sighed again. He was now getting older as he was 72 years old now. He

James, Bruce and Erin all had surprised expressions on their faces when they entered the room and saw Darius on the hospital bed. James in particular had the most surprised expression out of the three. “How severe are his injuries?” James asked in a choked voice. The doctor glanced at him and sighed before answering in a professional manner. “His ribs are fractured; his right and left arms are broken; his left leg is temporarily paralyzed after being shot with a poisoned bullet, with risks of being permanently paralyzed, and his right ankle is fractured.” James closed his eyes for a brief moment after he heard the Doctor’s answer. After a minute of silence, he asked the Doctor a question. “What are the chances of him surviving this ordeal?” “10%.” The doctor answered. James closed his eyes again. It was even worse than he expected. A 10% chance meant that he had only one out of ten times to survive this ordeal. There was another moment of silence, as James kept staring at Dari

The injuries on Darius’ body started healing at a pace visible to the naked eye. James watched the process intently. He had no doubts that the golden liquid could cure Darius completely. However despite his trust in his liquid, he could not help worrying for his grandson. The healing process went on for over five minutes due to the severity of the injuries Darius obtained, with James watching over Darius during the duration of the healing. During the duration of the healing process, smelly black pus kept being ejected from Darius skin. James quickly called the attention of the maids in the mansion. The black pus wasn’t the only thing that was ejected from Darius body. His hair was also shed, and new one could be seen growing on his bald head. He shifted a lot on the bed and at a single glance one could tell that he was in severe pain. The maids quickly got to work the time they arrived. They undressed him neatly and washed off the black pus off his skin before changing his sheets.

Darius turned to his grandfather with shock in his eyes.His grandfather knew who the culprit was?“You know who the culprit is?” Darius asked.“Yes.” Darius grandfather replied.“How bold.” Darius grandfather sneered. “They dared to harm you; completely ignoring your identity as a member of the Reid family.”“Are they not afraid of the Reid family anymore?” Darius grandfather asked in a cold tone.Darius looked at his grandfather and felt shivers run down his spine. The look his grandfather had on his face was the look of someone who had been in charge of a company that was on top of the food chain for over 40 years. Darius was still a student and was yet to graduate from his university, so it was completely normal that his aura paled to that of his grandfather who was a seasoned veteran.However that didn’t stop Darius from asking his grandfather who the culprit was. He was incredibly curious to know who sent an assassin after him. He had not offended anyone recently and was always

Luke flinched in fear when he heard the caller’s question. As for what the identity of the caller was and why he could make Luke flinch in fear, the answer was very obvious.The caller was none other than the current head of the Erihal Group and Luke’s father, Ian Erihal!“Are you deaf?!” Ian bellowed from the other end of the phone in rage.“N-No sir!” Luke stuttered fearfully.“I asked you a question! Answer me!” Ian bellowed in rage.Luke flinched again in fear, but said nothing. He could not bring himself to answer his father’s question. He dared not tell his father that he made use of his private bodyguards to take out a nobody. It wasn’t because he severely injured Darius, but because he made use of his father’s special bodyguards even after the harsh warning his father gave him.Ian let out an audible sigh of frustration at the other end of the phone. Over thirty seconds passed before Ian finally broke the silence.“I see you have refused to talk. No problem, I’ll find out the

[Reid Mansion]The past three days had been smooth sailing for Darius, as while the Erihal Group were battling bankruptcy on different fronts as a result of James Reid concentrated attacks, he was recuperating peacefully from his injuries.He woke up this morning as early as usual, and was still brimming with energy. He obeyed his grandfather’s words and practiced the breathing techniques in the book his grandfather gave him before practicing his martial arts routines.As he practiced over the days, he found out that the moves were executed easier than before. The moves that used to be rigid were now executed as fluidly as water. Not only that; the time taken to perform all his routines cut short by more than half!He also noticed that his kicks and punches had increased in power, and he could process things faster than usual. Unknowingly to Darius, the golden potion that his grandfather used in treating him not only improved the external attributes of the body, but also the internal
