Chapter 945
"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

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

"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

The second bodyguard parted his lips and choked up as he said, "I've done many bad things in my life, and choosing to oppose you was the worst decision I've made. It's led to my death—not that it has anything to do with you, of course. It was all my own doing. I hope everyone will learn a lesson from this—keep your calm and rationality when making decisions like this, and you'll be able to stay alive for a few more years. I've lost that privilege because I've used up the chances Darius gave me." He turned to look at Darius, even if it was the last thing he wanted to do. He pleaded, "I hope you'll make it quick. I'm terrified of dying; in fact, I'm terrified of most things." He shut his eyes and waited for Darius to make his move. Then, he felt something cold against his neck. That was the last thing he knew. Before taking his final breath, the thought that flitted through his mind was that at least Darius had been merciful and made it quick.In truth, everyone's eyes were on Gareth.

Gareth gave Darius a cautious look. "If I were to tell you that I've tried and failed to think of something that I could use to broker a deal with you, would you be able to give me any suggestions?"Darius raised an eyebrow and smirked. "This is a surprise. Unfortunately, it's not something I'm interested in. Besides, I think your comrade's probably getting lonely waiting for you in hell. After all, you ended his life, yet you're still living and breathing. To think you two had the same goal in mind …" His tone was light and cheery.Gareth whipped his head up and gaped at Darius as he said tremulously, "You don't intend on letting me off the hook—you want me to die. How is that gonna benefit you? What will my death bring you?"Darius looked scornful. "You had nefarious intentions from the moment you approached me, yet you're asking me why I'm treating you like this. Don't you find that ridiculous?" He cocked his head and put his hands behind his back.Gareth's expression turned contem

"Well, I suppose this is where the fun and games end. Now, I'm going to treat you like I would an enemy." Darius' expression turned contemptuous as he sat down again, crossing one leg over the other, looking arrogant.Gareth took a deep breath as his blood boiled. He stalked toward Darius and growled, "If that's what you think, I'll show you how important a bodyguard is!"Edward frowned at this and stepped forward to shield Darius with his body. He put his hands behind his back as he scowled and snarled, "I may not have heard you mention the name of your master, but your comrade was forthcoming enough to tell us. If you're gonna try to harm Mr. Reid because your master told you to, I'll have you know that I don't have the best temper. I can't guarantee that you'll get off easy if you go ahead with this, and I can't guarantee that I won't take this out on your master later. When that happens, you won't be a satisfactory bodyguard—no one will be able to vouch for your loyalty toward you
