"Have you finally decided to drop your circus act?" Godfrey sneered.Darius raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes. Godfrey glared at him and said, "I've been playing nice with you, but you haven't appreciated it. Now, I'm gonna show you the gap between us!"Darius stopped when he heard how pleased with himself Godfrey sounded. He looked at Godfrey, who now stood akimbo and held his head high. He said scornfully, "The fact that you're standing here means you're wealthy and probably capable, but I'm here to tell you that it's all fake!"Godfrey's breathing sped up. He glared daggers at Darius and continued, "I've seen countless people like you. You're nothing special, no matter which way you look at it." He cleared his throat and continued, "You have a pretty face, but it's nothing compared to those celebrities. Even if you wanted to use your face as a way of making a living, it'd be nothing but a dream!"Godfrey's voice was loud and piercing. It made Darius' ears hurt. He raised an eye

Slater sighed and shut his eyes. When he opened them again, they were devoid of emotion. "Godfrey, you've already decided to do away with us. Go ahead, then! But know that you'll have to bear the responsibility for anything that happens after today. If you're prepared for that, go ahead and do what you want." He flexed his neck.Godfrey's chest heaved with rage. He waved a hand and shouted, "What are you still waiting for? Beat the shit out of them!" The security guards on Godfrey's side didn't hesitate. They lunged at Slater and formed a smaller circle around him. They brandished their batons and got ready to attack.Slater stood still. He didn't show any sign of wanting to resist. He shut his eyes, looking pale. The security guards on his side didn't agree with this, though. Their expressions darkened, and they looked regretful. One of them leaned close to Slater and said cautiously, "Sir, I don't think we should swear our alliance to Darius. He's not a good guy. Look at how he's ab

"Now that you're here with your subordinate, I think it's time for us to go." Slater stepped forward. He couldn't wait to get into Darius' car and get the hell out of there. He found it too dangerous for him to stay there; Godfrey's gaze was filled with venom and evil.Godfrey watched Darius like the snake he was and snarled, "Do you know what Slater said about you earlier, Darius? Do you know what he thinks of you? Do you realize what will happen if you keep siding with him like this?"Darius raised an eyebrow mockingly. "What does that have to do with you? You're about to die, anyway." He smiled and leaned against the car. He crossed his arms and scanned Godfrey disdainfully. Then, he turned to Edward. "Your skills have deteriorated. Since you already whipped out a weapon, why didn't you kill him? Look at him—he's like an annoying pest."Edward stood beside the car with his hands behind his back. He was surprised by Darius' return, but this wasn't the time to think about that. He sm

Darius had never imagined his grandfather would be indisposed one day. And it had happened so unexpectedly. The damage caused was too grave. It was hard for him to stop thinking about James. Though Bruce had made it clear what he had to do, that didn't mean he could accept it and move on.He sighed, then got to his feet. No matter what, the hospital was where he needed to be. Unfortunately, he didn't even know which hospital James was at. As he headed to the living room, he heard his phone ring.He raised an eyebrow in surprise and checked his phone. Bruce was calling again. He sounded disapproving as he said, "Sir, I know you're worried about Master James. So am I. I wish you two could meet, but this isn't the best time. Right now, the most important—and the only—thing you need to do is deal with the consortium's share price! No matter what happens, you have to value the consortium over everything else. Even if you hear that we're all dead, think of the consortium first."Darius frow

As Edward spoke, he stepped forward to face the security guard. He blocked Darius from view. Darius merely watched them quietly.The security guard frowned. Things weren't going according to plan—this wasn't how he'd expected Darius to respond. As he pondered this, he felt a gust of wind coming at him. Edward was attacking him with his life force.The security guard scowled. The dangers he faced were beyond his expectations. He knew the people around Darius were powerful, but this was worse than he'd expected. He was now starting to regret accepting this mission.Edward's attacks were quick. He lunged at the security guard so quickly that all the security guard could do was stand there and stare at him in shock. The security guard thought he was powerful enough. Only then did he realize that he was no match for any of the people standing before him. He exhaled and realized he didn't have the power to attack Edward. All he could do was dodge him.Darius stood there with his hands behin
