"You're a bad person who deserves to be flushed down the drain…" The rest of the young man's sentence was muffled by a hand being slapped over his mouth—the figure in black did it. Then, his gaze traveled between Darius and the young man before sighing. His attitude surprised Darius, but Darius didn't want to waste any more time there. He headed toward the dean's office.When he arrived, he saw Henry standing there, his hands behind his back, sighing with every step he took. When he saw Darius, he said, "I wanted to apologize to you about some of the things we've done—they're not good, but you should know that we didn't intend for things to turn out like this." He looked at Darius nervously.Darius raised an eyebrow and sat on the couch, crossing his legs at the knee. Then, he said, "It looks like Kingston University has no choice but to merge with another university."Henry turned to face him. "Yes, that's right. You should know that Kingston University has its own board of directors

There were many emotions in their eyes, but none were positive. Darius softened his expression at the sight of them, and he smiled before nodding respectfully at them. "Professors, I'm Darius Reid, and I'm here to cancel the rest of my time off. Also, I'm here to pick a new advisor because my previous one, Professor Plinsky, is indisposed." With that, he stood up straight and gazed at the professors. Unexpectedly, most of them no longer looked hostile. His smile widened—this was a good sign. Then, he noticed that whichever professor his gaze landed on would avert their gaze and avoid meeting his eyes.Darius' smile turned mocking, and he glanced at Henry, who instantly felt a chill run down his spine. Henry cleared his throat and said to the professors menacingly, "What's with your attitude? Darius has already proved his innocence in the previous incident, hasn't he? Are you afraid of him because you're worried he'll dig up whatever wrongdoings you've committed in the past?"The profe

Now, Darius could sense the kindness in Owen beneath his tough exterior, which was the complete opposite of before. As he pondered this, the office door swung open again to reveal many people crowded at the entrance, all eavesdropping on their conversation. They wanted to know how Owen would've treated Darius—he was known for having a fiery temper. Moreover, he was strict and serious when it came to academics. No one could get off easily under his watchful eye.Darius, on the other hand, wasn't a good student in the traditional sense of the word. Yes, he had always been diligent in class and completed his assignments, but that was when he was poor. Now, he was wealthy, and he'd disappeared from campus for a long while shortly after that. So, everyone was curious to know what would happen between him and Owen. As someone who'd been colleagues with these people for many years, Owen immediately understood why the other professors were crowded around the door. An ugly look crept onto hi

"Look at you—you're a sorry excuse for a human, using your fortune to beg others to befriend you!" The woman berated Darius without pausing for breath, but he didn't seem bothered by this. He stood there, quietly listening to her. In his eyes, the woman was insane.Owen, on the other hand, wasn't as cool and collected. His breathing sped up, and he trembled with rage as he glared at her. "As a professor, how can you attack a student like that?" That was all he managed to say."Am I wrong?" screeched the woman. "Do you think Darius is an angel? If he were, he wouldn't have had his security guards drive my father away without hearing him out! And if the security guards hadn't chased my father away, he wouldn't have gotten rammed by a car!"Owen asked with a frown, "Did the security guards push your father in front of that car?"The woman faltered, then shook her head. "No.""Then what does that have to do with Darius?"The woman's gaze turned contemptuous. "It has everything to do with

The woman, whose eyes were bloodshot, stared at Darius in despair as she lay on the floor, panting anxiously. All Darius did was smile at her before straightening up. He didn't push her because he knew she didn't have answers to most of his questions. With that thought in mind, he turned and left the office without hesitation. Owen watched him, then sighed and followed him. He told Darius, "Once upon a time, I was also jealous of Professor Plinsky for having such an excellent student. This was before you became my student, of course." Darius slowed down and stopped but didn't say anything. Owen continued, "No matter what happened in the past, know that you've come out on top and become an outstanding person. I hope your attitude toward your education doesn't change in the future."Darius nodded, to which Owen smiled. "Alright, that's all I have to say. Go and do what you have to, but remember to come for class tomorrow." With that, Owen returned to the office, putting his hands behin

After some thought, Darius concluded his current apartment was a little on the smaller side. He figured he probably need a four-story house to accommodate all of them. Though the Dragon Estate was luxurious and provided excellent service, it was a little far from campus. Besides, he was about to start his internship soon and needed to get a new place anyway. At this thought, he sighed.Pearl stood beside him, watching him carefully. "You might've agreed to me moving in with you, but you don't seem to be too happy now."As her words fell, Darius held up a finger and wagged it. "No, you need to get your facts right. I didn't agree to you moving in with me; I only agreed to let you stay in my house. That's all."Pearl blushed at his words, then waved her hands vigorously. "No, that's not what I meant! The words came out wrong."Darius chuckled and said, "Alright, that's enough joking." He put his hands behind his back and exhaled. "My apartment, the Dragon Estate, isn't large enough to

Pearl followed Darius into the realtor's office. His car was luxurious enough to attract attention, so all eyes were on them as they walked in. Almost as soon as they stepped inside, Darius was surrounded by sales girls. "Sir, the units in Zone A are under my care, and it has the best environment in this whole development," said one of them.Another piped up, "Yeah, right! Your units are right beside a stinky sewage line. Have you seen the number of pests around there?" She turned to Darius with a smile. "Now, the units under my care are right next to the neighborhood's management office. You don't have to worry about your safety at all."Darius sighed at the squabbling. He waved a hand and said, "I think I'd like some peace and quiet for now, thanks." Before he could continue, Pearl said, "Our employer has yet to decide which area he's interested in, so we still need to walk around and take a closer look before reporting to him." Darius raised an eyebrow at this, then smiled when th

The man didn't know what Darius meant but knew that his smile was creeping him out. He cried, "I'll have you know that my family's one of the most prominent in Ashweir City. You've humiliated me, and I'm furious right now! Do you want to appease me?"Darius resisted the urge to burst into laughter when he saw the man's forced bravado. He nodded and said, "Of course."The man lifted two fingers. "Firstly, take your foot off me. Secondly, give the beauty beside you to me. Regardless of whatever's happened between you two, I'll still welcome her into my arms!" He looked at Darius. "What say you? Simple enough, right?"Darius' smile widened. "Very simple, in fact. But I'm gonna say no."Floyd Davis stiffened. Then, he roared, "You've crossed the line! Who are you? Tell me your name! I swear I'll make you disappear from Ashweir City!" He wriggled around in agitation.Darius smiled. "I can tell you who I am, but before that, I want you to stop wriggling. It annoys me, and I don't think you
