Chapter 676
Darius put his phone back into his pocket and went back to his work. Edward interrupted, saying, “Mr. Reid, I think you should settle the matter with Kingston University right now. To save time, I mean.”Darius’ fingers left the keyboard of his laptop as he leaned back. He looked straight ahead, his gaze empty. It was as though he was in a daze. However, his mind was working in a frenzy.Edward bit his lip and went silent, quietly standing behind Darius.Time passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Edward thought he wouldn’t be getting any response from Darius, the latter got up.“You’re right. You’ve given me an excellent suggestion, so I’m asking you to locate Pearl this instant. I’ll take her to Kingston University.” With that, Darius turned to leave quickly with a smile on his face. A few minutes later, Pearl was at the gates of the Reid manor, ready to leave. Abruptly, a strong gust of wind blew against her. Pearl instinctively closed her eyes against the onslaught. When she ope

However, Darius didn’t say a thing. Meanwhile, the security guards had already started shouting.“Stop the vehicle this instant! Can you not read the sign? No cars are allowed in front of the university gates!”In the passenger seat, Pearl frowned. “I find this weird. How could the wealthy students of Kingston University allow them to do such a thing?”Darius nodded in agreement. “I was thinking the same thing.”Pearl let out a breath. She looked at Darius and said, “Then should we go down and have a look?” She thought that Darius would agree with her on this too, but Darius shook his head. “No, of course not. I’m sure we’re richer than all of them combined. In any case, even without the Reid family’s assets, even West Atlantics Int’l could buy over the whole of Kingston University. In that case, why should we give them any leeway?”With that, Darius hit the gas pedal, and the car moved forward at a normal pace. However, Pearl and Edward both gripped their seats. This was because t

When it came down to it, Darius was an educated individual. The security guard thought that he would want to preserve his reputation. Unexpectedly, Darius smirked before letting out a burst of laughter.This confused the guards, causing them to frown. They watched in worry as Darius moved his hands back to the front of his body. For some reason, they felt as though some huge disaster was about to happen. The next second, they understood why; that feeling had not been in vain. Darius widened his stance. Though this movement was not out of the ordinary, he had moved to stand before them in the blink of an eye. At the moment, Darius was mere feet away from them.Their breathing nearly stopped as they looked at Darius. Their legs started to shake violently. “W-What are you planning to do!” As they spoke, they reached their hands back for their batons to protect themselves. The second their hands touched their weapons, they sighed in relief. They gripped their weapons and raised them h

Edward looked surprised. Then, he turned to walk toward Darius. He found there to be something odd about the two security guards and felt he had to report this to Darius immediately. So, he channeled his life force to his legs and dashed toward Darius.Darius was walking ahead at normal speed, and he’d already heard the conversation between Edward and the security guards. So, he was calm when Edward appeared beside him. “You don’t need to be too suspicious of those two security guards. Learn to trust your instinct—as an enlightened martial artist, your instinct is likely more accurate than your analytical skills. I’m positive they’re kind souls.” He fell silent after saying this, not expecting to be stopped by Kingston University’s security guards for the second time. These security guards were patrolling the grounds. Darius swept his gaze over them, then frowned—they gave him bad vibes. He said coldly, “Get out of my way!”They didn’t budge, merely looking at him and Pearl. Then, the

The security guard looked at Darius with strengthened resolve. “That means everything I’m doing now is perfectly acceptable!” He raised an arm to reveal a blowtorch in his hand. There was a baton in his other, which he swung at Darius.Darius didn’t even flinch. He tucked his hands in his pockets and looked at the security guard calmly. “You’ve made the wrong decision by going for my head.” His gaze turned frosty as he sidestepped the attack. The security guard bashed the baton on the ground so hard that it splintered; the look on Darius’ face turned mocking. He snorted and put his hands behind his back. “You’re weak, weaker than I expected, at least.” He kicked the security guard, making him land on his back. Then, he placed a foot on the security guard’s stomach. “Now, tell me—who gave the order for you to come at us?”The security guard couldn’t help shuddering at the sudden drop in temperature. The three others trained their gazes on Darius and took a hesitant step forward. They

After saying that, Darius started to head toward the dean’s office without sparing the security guard another glance. He narrowed his eyes, starting to feel annoyed. He had never been patient, especially when he had to deal with these issues.The security guard frowned, understanding what Darius had in mind as soon as he turned to leave. He exclaimed hurriedly, “No, wait! You’re making the wrong decision! If you head there now, you’re not gonna achieve your desired results!” He had more to say, but Darius had already disappeared from view. He sighed and waved a hand at the three other security guards. “That’s enough staring, guys. Come over and take him to the hospital. We can talk about this later.” He looked in the direction in which Darius had left worriedly, then walked toward the unconscious security guard.On the other hand, Darius arrived at the dean’s office, so incensed he forgot about the two people behind him. Edward wanted to dash to catch up with Darius, but Pearl grabbe

It was a shoddy attempt to hide his pain. Henry sat on the couch opposite Darius and pointed at him. “Darius, don’t push your luck! This is my office! And allow me to remind you that you’re no longer one of Kingston University’s students!”Darius crossed his legs at the knee and scoffed disdainfully. Henry wanted to continue his tirade, but Darius didn’t allow him to. He said, “I’d like to know what I’ve done to warrant an expulsion.”Henry’s brows furrowed tightly, looking scornful. “I’d give you an explanation, but that’s not part of my job. All I can say is that you must abide by the university’s orders.” He wanted to continue but suddenly bent over at the sharp and immense pain coming from his abdomen. At the same time, Darius stood up and flexed his wrist.He looked down at Henry domineeringly, making Henry gnash his teeth. He forced out through gritted teeth, “How dare you attack me! I’m your dean, your superior!”Darius raised an eyebrow, smiled mockingly, and turned his back t

Darius’ face darkened at Henry’s words. If there was one thing he couldn’t stand, it was being falsely accused. He stood up, flexed his wrists, and walked toward Henry. Henry was caught off guard by this and looked terrified as he said tremulously, “W-what are you doing? Don’t come any closer! I’ll call security if you take another step! I know you’re a martial artist, but the security guards are much stronger than you could ever be!”Darius smirked. “Go ahead; see whether they respond.” He stalked toward Henry and said, “Professor Plinsky’s already explained what was up with my so-called cheating, and the authorities have verified it. However, it seems you aren’t too pleased with the authorities’ verdict.”Henry scowled. At this moment, the woman on the couch said, “Mr. Fort, I don’t think you should believe him. After all, he’s been expelled. Everyone knows how strict Kingston University is with these things—he must’ve done something serious enough to warrant expulsion.” Henry rela
