Ford’s eyes snapped wide open when Darius abruptly retracted his hand. Of course, Darius did not mean to spare Ford, but the latter did not know that. Ford’s brows raised as his stare bore holes into Darius. “What you’re doing now confuses me. I don’t understand why you’d stop halfway into killing me, but I suggest you kill me now. My loathing for you has reached a higher peak than before, so if I manage to survive today, I won’t hesitate to spend the rest of my life attacking you. I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your life in distress!”Darius’ lips curved as he ridiculed, “You couldn’t even kill me when you had maximum health and companions to your aide. Do you seriously think I’ll be afraid if you return to attack me after recovering from your hefty injuries?”Although it seemed like Darius was taunting, his tone remained stoic. Such juxtaposition in behavior set off a panic in Ford because it meant Darius meant every word. Ford no longer had the strength to close his eyes, b

Darius sensed the hesitancy in Bridget’stone and immediately knew the place was unsafe. Hence, he shook his head. “No, I won’t allow us to go there even ifthis place you’re bringing up is the same as what Ford mentioned. That’s not awise option for us. After all, Shelvin’s dead now, so we don’t have to obtainhis remaining body tissue. Besides, I’m sure Shelvin won’t mind if his tissuescan get transplanted into other talented people and give them a better chanceat life. He’s a kind man, after all.”Bridget’s eyes rounded at Darius. The ideaof giving Shelvin’s remains to create more powerful enemies terrified her, soshe wholly rejected it in her mind. Yet, she knew her place as a bodyguard;Bridget could not disobey her boss’ orders. She had always voiced her opinions beforebecause Darius was a more forgiving boss than most. With that in mind, Bridgetknew it was unwise to test the limits of his mercy. Thus, she shoved herthoughts deep down her heart and nodded, saying, “Ye

The bald man then grabbed the phone fromDaisy’s hand and boomed with a voice that sparked fear in others. “I suggest you show yourself before me now.Or else, I can guarantee you’ll end up miserably. Know this—I’m not asworthless as little Daisy here. Let’s hope you’re smart enough not tounderestimate the power of public opinion.”He hung up after saying that.Meanwhile, Darius knitted his brows uponhearing the click from the other end of the call. Everything had spiraledbeyond Darius’ initial plans. He raised his wrist to look at the time beforereturning his hand to his hips. At the same time, he sat in the driver’sseat, tapped the dashboard with his other hand, and sighed.Bridget had already gotten into the car,her face creasing with worry when she noticed Darius’ countenance. “Sir, I’m an enlightened martial artist.While I’m not nearly as skilled as you—oh, well, that doesn’t matter—” Beforeshe could finish speaking, Darius’ phone rang again, so she pursed her lipssh

Because of those complicated circumstances,Almiron City only had one television network—FT TV. Darius initially believed his suddenarrival would not attract anyone’s attention, but he had underestimated the manspeaking on the phone earlier.The man knew Darius would show up, so hehad already ordered someone to await the latter’s arrival at the televisionnetwork’s main entrance. Unfortunately, his estimations were slightly off, andDarius arrived at the scene 20 minutes later than predicted. Pissed off, the man raged in his mind, “Noone would dare treat me this way unless they aren’t aware of who I am and mypower!”With that, he shot up from the sofa andonto his feet. His abrupt movement caused his knee to hit and trip Daisy, whohad knelt beside him this entire time. Pain and shock caused Daisy to yelp sharplyas she fell, her two palms pressing against the floor to keep her sittingupright. She gawked at the man while pouting and asking in a meek tone, “Sir, Idon’t unders

The lead security guard’s breathingquickened, tickling Darius’ skin. However, there was nothing malicious abouthis expression; curiosity flickered in his eyes as he asked, “Why didn’t youstop me from getting in? You and I are the only ones in this elevator, so youcan easily break the surveillance cameras and attack me if you wish. It’s clearthat I’m no match for you. There’s no doubt I’ll get defeated if you strikenow.” He stared at Darius with a complicatedwhirlwind of emotions, but the one thing he did not feel was fear. Standingopposite Darius, he kept both hands by his sides while raising his head in arelaxed manner. Darius returned the former’s stare. Soon,the elevator arrived on the 10th floor, and a smile curved on Darius’ face. “Well, I’ll have to make your expectationsa reality then.” After saying that, he extended his arm. While nothing seemed unusual about hisaction, it set off a gust of wind inside the elevator. The wind blew somightily that the lead secur
