Chapter 728
Byron desperately wanted to see it, and his eyes practically burned holes in Darius. To his fury, none of the things he wanted to see happened. "Darius Reid! Your attitude has granted you a one-way ticket to hell!" He stepped back and waved a hand. "Kill them now!"Stephen's eyes widened at his command; he stared at Byron in disbelief. "Father, you can't treat me like this! I'm your son, aren't I? I've been loyal to you all these years! You can't do this to me!"Byron looked at him scornfully, then hurried over to him and stomped on his shoulder, making him let out a pained cry. He looked at Byron with a terrified gaze, but this didn't bother Byron. In fact, Byron smiled. "I've always hated how weak and powerless you were; you should be grateful I've kept you alive for so long. Despite that, I can see that not only are you ungrateful, but you even resent me."Darius sighed and stood up, ignoring the falling out between the father and son. He looked at the bodyguards that were approach
Chapter 729
Edward was like a sharp blade. As Darius stepped back, he disappeared. At the same time, the bodyguards let out tortured screams, which was enough to show Edward hadn't truly disappeared. Byron's expression went from disdain to fear and anxiety at the sound of their screams. He even forgot to taunt Darius, turning instead to look at the black-robed person who'd been silent this whole time.Darius' gaze followed Byron's and landed on the black-robed person. He put his hands behind his back, no longer worried about dealing with these people. "You haven't spoken since coming here; I almost forgot about you. If all your comrades were as low-key as you, they'd still be alive."Byron stiffened at his words. However, his courage was boosted when he saw the black-robed person sitting there without moving. He couldn't see the black-robed person's face because it was hooded, but he figured the black-robed person probably wasn't bothered by Darius' words. He hurriedly said, "We can't handle Dar

Byron gnashed his teeth so loudly that even Edward could hear him amidst his battle. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Byron in surprise. Soon, however, he refocused his attention on beating the bodyguards up. The battle was basically over, but he still had some information to get out of them.Darius noticed Byron's reaction and smirked. Byron didn't notice Edward's surprise, but Darius' was in plain sight. His breathing hitched, and he paled. "What's that look on your face supposed to mean, Darius? I'm your uncle! Can't you see how hard I'm trying to get someone to teach you a lesson? How dare you give me this attitude!"Darius was sick of his spiel, and his annoyance grew every time Byron mentioned it. He'd never met anyone as dumb as Byron. He turned to the black-robed person and rolled his shoulders. "I'm sure you have a grasp on the current situation. Are you still resolutely on his side?"As expected, the black-robed person hesitated. He stood there silently for a while, after

Chapter 702 The Black-Robed Person##Byron was stunned. He didn't even see how Darius had come to stand before him, and he gaped at him. Darius smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he whispered, "Don't be scared. I'm sure you've already prepared yourself for this." He tightened his grip on Byron's shoulder, making him cry in pain.The black-robed person had just caught himself. He swiveled to look at Byron when he heard his cry, and his eyes widened. He knew Darius was powerful, but this was out of his expectations. Now he knew why he'd been warned before coming here—neither he nor his organization was a match for Darius. He parted his lips to plead on Byron's behalf—despite their differences, Byron had hired him and given him a chance to meet Darius. Ultimately, he didn't say anything when he saw the frostiness in Darius' eyes. The black-robed person had never seen such a scary gaze before and was at a loss. Anyway, the opportunity was gone. Byron had already fainted.On the

Darius raised an eyebrow. He could sense the black-robed person truly meant his words, and he exhaled. He sat down and crossed his legs at the knee. "I've met many black-robed people in the past." Darius kept his eyes on the young man; perhaps he knew something about this. Though it seemed like the matter with the black-robed people who'd been sent to assassinate him had come to a close, Darius couldn't help feeling that was only the tip of the iceberg. There was still much danger waiting for him, along with secrets that had yet to be unearthed. He didn't intend to allow these secrets to fade with time; he also didn't believe an organization that had passed the test of time would've crumbled so easily.And Darius was right. The young man had heard about the black-robed people Darius had met before this and scowled, looking angry. There was also a trace of grievance amidst the anger. Darius put a glass of water on the table beside him and said, "Can you tell me anything about them? M
Chapter 733
Wade's smile faded, and he gulped. "Why are you looking at me like that? I don't think I've done anything wrong—I told you everything you wanted to know. If you continue looking at me like that, I…I'll…" He stammered for a while but couldn't finish his sentence.Darius said, "If you can't think of what to say, you can remain silent." He straightened up, dusted himself off, then turned to look at Byron, who was curled up in a corner and praying no one would notice him. He rolled his eyes and turned back to Wade. Wasn't Wade the heir to a wealthy family? What would he need money for? Was he innocent and naive enough to be tricked into coming to this place? "I'm glad to have met you, but I don't think you're cut out for this."Wade's eyes turned red. "But I want to leave this basement with you."Darius sighed. As he tried to think of something to brush Wade off, Byron scrambled to his feet and dashed toward Darius, crying, "I want to leave with you as well!" He fell to the ground at Dari
Chapter 734
Stephen's seething gaze settled on Byron as he snarled, "Since you think I'm not your son and have no emotional attachment to me, why have you appeared before me now?"Byron never imagined he would receive such hatred from the former. He assumed that Stephen wouldn't behave that way even if Stephen learned he had abandoned the latter.Trembling with mixed emotions, Byron kept parting, then closing his lips. Ultimately, he didn't respond to Stephen; instead, he shot a murderous scowl at Darius, thundering, "You'd better not try anything against me! Otherwise, I promise you'll become the most miserable person in this building!"Darius crossed his arms while nodding. "Good. I look forward to it. Until then, I'll continue to smile and keep my eyes peeled for what you do to me." All color drained from Byron's face as he never thought Darius would belittle his threat. His gaze darted to an equally frightened Stephen. Shaking his head, he mused, "Stephen's my last shot. I'll be in deep trou
Chapter 735
Arching a brow, Darius said, "Your biological father was a good friend of my dad. Byron wanted to threaten your father into keeping hush about the real reason behind my dad's death, so he stole you. That way, he could force your father to do as he pleased. Your father has been miserable all these years because he watched you get harmed emotionally and couldn't avenge his friend's unjust death."Stephen lay on the ground, his eyes trembling with many emotions.The inner corners of Darius' brows briefly raised in surprise as he couldn't understand the former's reaction. According to his investigation, Stephen had performed many horrible crimes. That led everyone to believe Stephen wasn't a good man. However, now that things were going down, Darius suddenly felt like his research was far from the truth. Glancing at Stephen, he cleared his throat and spoke more sternly than before. "Okay, I've already informed you of your past. You should know that your biological father is an excellent
