Chapter 942
Darius was used to people looking at him like that, but he could feel his blood boiling at the thought of someone raised by the Reid family being the one to look at him like that. He sighed and said, "You're someone the Reid family trained. No matter where your loyalties lay, you need to remember that you're considered part of the Reid family and that the people you're loyal to are also members of the Reid family. Don't let me catch you giving someone puppy-dog eyes and begging for mercy at the slightest pressure. Otherwise, you'll have a terrible end." The bodyguards outside the room immediately dropped their terror and wariness at his words. However, the one standing before Darius collapsed to his knees again and held his hands up beside his head, looking terrified. He sounded like he was on the verge of tears as he stammered, "S-Sorry, Mr. Reid. I didn't mean t-to offend you." Darius rolled his eyes and balled the hand atop the desk into a fist. He got to his feet and strode to

Darius had a smile on his face. Edward's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "So, is he someone we can trust? I never would've expected this to happen." He lowered his head, looking exhausted. He wanted to sneak a peek at Darius to see what he thought about this but knew that as a professional bodyguard, that wasn't within the list of things he was allowed to do. Ultimately, he sighed and fell silent, frowning as he shut his eyes.Darius couldn't help chuckling at how forlorn he looked. He patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "Now, now. There's no need for that. You're a bodyguard, and even if you've gone through rigorous training to get to where you are, it's only normal that you don't know about these things. After all, this wasn't part of your training, nor were you given the chance to pick up on this. It's just like whatever medical knowledge you gain during your training is only enough to do simple first-aid and not a full-blown operation. You can't expect to become a busin

The bodyguards immediately sagged in relief. Darius smirked and said, "I wasn't talking to you guys." They immediately tensed up again. Darius turned to Edward, saying, "You need to get ready to record what they're about to say."Edward nodded and sat on the sofa. He grabbed a pen and waited for the bodyguards to speak. As he did this, Darius walked over to the door and shut it. The bodyguards trembled violently when he walked past them. Then, Darius channeled his life force to his palm, forming a rope with it and dragging a chair to him so he could sit. The bodyguards gaped at him—in their eyes, the chair had flown to Darius as if he'd summoned it. They stopped trembling and became as still as statues, not knowing how to react to this.Darius placed his arms on the armrests and sighed. Then, he shut his eyes as he tapped a finger on the armrest, looking calm. The bodyguards kneeling on the floor were the opposite of him—they all looked terrified as they stared at Darius. "We don't

"And all of this is only because I came into contact with you guys a little later than those other people. You were willing to betray the Reid family and your original master just because of a slight issue with the time, and you're fine with giving your lives up over something like this. Did I get that right?" Darius didn't say anything else. This was already enough to incite fear in everyone, including Edward. He took a deep breath, not knowing what to say or do under such circumstances. Was he supposed to help Darius or stand up to someone? Ultimately, he straightened up and walked over to stand behind Darius.He looked calm, but that was only on the surface. He said icily, "Sir, what should we do now? These people look obnoxious, and they're loyal to other people. I don't think they deserve to remain here."Darius nodded, looking annoyed. It was as if he could end these bodyguards' lives in the blink of an eye. He straightened up; the bodyguards kneeling on the floor had finally h

"If I want to receive the treatment I deserve, perhaps ending your life would be the best choice." Darius stood up and walked to his desk, grabbing a pair of scissors from there. He appraised it, then smiled. "If I were to stab you in the heart or throat with this … you'd immediately shut up. That would make me happy." He shut his eyes and held the scissors up, looking as if he could already see the bodyguard's death happening. The smile on his face incited fear in everyone present. After a few moments, he composed himself and turned to walk toward the bodyguard who'd spoken. "You've made it clear that we're on different sides, so I'm sure you're ready to face the consequences of your choice. Am I right?" He cocked his head, looking innocuous.However, everyone present knew he was the furthest thing from innocuous. He was thinking of taking their lives with every second that passed, and the other bodyguards were starting to regret their actions. In a small voice, one of the bodygua

Darius smirked. Before he could say anything, the bodyguard who was waiting for death blurted out, "I don't know what you mean by that, Mr. Reid! Whatever it is, everything I've told you is nothing but the truth. If you don't believe me, you can kill me! I won't retaliate or stop you, nor will I resent you!" He shut his eyes again and put his hands behind his back, looking calm and ready for what was coming his way.Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled, then placed his arms on the armrests of his chair. There was a hint of pity in his voice as he said, "I was actually going to let you live, but since it's what you want, I should respect that. After all, you're the first among your peers to take the initiative to tell me the truth, so I think it's only right for me, as your rightful master, to respect your wishes and end your life."The bodyguard's face darkened at this, and he gave Darius a shocked look. He'd considered many possibilities, but this wasn't one of them. He didn't think
Chapter 948
Darius stepped on the bodyguard and smiled mockingly. "I think this is the best time for you to leave some famous last words. Even if the other bodyguards aren't willing to save you, they should be okay with passing on your message. In fact, I'd do that for you." His tone was gentle and cajoling; he sounded kind … if one could ignore the fact that he was stepping on the bodyguard. "Don't you have anything to say?" The bodyguard lay on the floor silently, making Darius frown. "Well, this is somewhat of a surprise. Anyway, if you don't leave any last words, I'm gonna go ahead and kill you. I hope you don't regret this—death isn't reversible, after all. It'll be too late for you to say anything once I've started doing my thing." He added force to his foot, making the bodyguard spit out blood again.Gareth couldn't stand it anymore. He shot to his feet and balled his hands into fists, his muscles rippling and making his clothes rip at the seams. Darius turned to him and removed his foot
Chapter 949
"No matter what you say or do, every member of the Reid family has to obey you, including me. It's too bad you've yet to obtain the Reid family's recognition. Aside from you, I know two other members of the Reid family, which puts me in a bind. I don't know how to face you right now; after some thought, I feel like ending my life is probably the best thing to do. I'm different from Gareth and the other guy—I was brought to the Reid family as a child, and it's all I've known. I don't have any other relatives or friends aside from those two Reid family members who I mentioned. Unfortunately, I've long since lost contact with them, and I don't even know whether they're still alive. That's why being alive doesn't matter to me anymore." The bodyguard shut his eyes and lay spread-eagled on the floor, looking completely relaxed. Darius would've believed he was truly seeking death if not for him secretly biting his lip.Darius sighed and said, "Before all of you die, I would like you to answ
