“I chose to return to my former life to protect my child and secretly absorbed the lives of my blood relatives. Then, I’d return to my husband’s side as if nothing had happened. I thought I’d done a good job of hiding the truth, but I forgot how sensitive my husband was. He noticed the blood on my clothes and its scent all over me, but he didn’t say a word. We stayed like this until I was in labor. There were some complications, and I almost died in childbirth. However, as I lay there, Sierra came in with our baby. He asked the medical personnel to leave and told them he’d given up on me. I was filled with despair, but when we were alone, all he did was silently put our baby beside me.”“Then, he said something I’ll never forget—he told me he knew I could keep myself alive by absorbing the lives of my blood relatives. Since we were alone, I could do whatever I had to do, and he’d cover for me. He also told me I was the most important thing to him in the world. You have no idea how sho

Darius shook his head. “No, they won’t. You’re underestimating the Sierra Group’s influence if you’re truly concerned about that. It may not be as infamous as the Moore Group, but no thief in Almiron City would dare steal anything from it.”He continued walking, and Edward followed him. Soon, he saw Darius stop, and he naturally hurried over to stop before him. Darius’ lips twitched, but he still grabbed Edward’s collar. As they zipped through the night, Darius said, “When we get back, I want you to go to Bridget and have her find a way to spread the video of Drake’s death over the Internet, but do it inconspicuously. At the same time, spread the word about us dealing with the Sierra Group after taking care of the Moore Group. Also, tell them I’m going to deal with another of the illicit businesses that didn’t submit to me.”Edward nodded. “That’s a great idea, sir! This will incite enough fear in them for them to dissolve their organizations—if even Drake Moore and Sierra Stevens So

“—tell him to bring as many of his men as possible. We have many golden bricks that require moving.”Bridget’s eyes lit up once she heard the words “golden bricks,” but it quickly turned into a frown, and she quietly asked, “Why Pierce? We haven’t even tested him yet.”Edward glanced at Darius for a split second before lowering his head and murmuring, “Mr. Reid specifically asked for him.”Silence ensued between the two. It took a few seconds before Edward heard some beeps, signaling the call had ended. He then put away his phone and looked at Darius, stating, “Sir, everything’s ready.”Darius nodded and simultaneously waved. “You may leave for now.”Nodding, Edward took a few steps backward but did not leave.As Darius heard the former’s feet shuffling only for a short while against the ground, he frowned. His gaze shot toward Edward, who instinctively recoiled and paid him the utmost attention. “Sir, is there anything else you need?”“No, nothing.” Darius sighed while shaking his he

Darius bore a pale complexion as he desperately needed the two domes to stop colliding with each other. Only then could he turn the black dome fully gold. Each time a collision occurred, various colored gasses would burst out. Some struck Darius’ body, while others crashed into the barrier. Meanwhile, the second black dome conjured by the figure kept attacking the barrier so much that several loud thumps sounded. It did not help that the barrier also tremored after each impact. The blows would slam into the barrier, bounce off, then crash into the ground with a thunderous thud. All those noises set off a continual vibration in Darius’ ears, causing him to frown and call upon some life force to form blocks around his ears. Then, he let out a long exhale, relaxing slightly now that his ears did not hurt. That was when his hands extended sideways, turning his dome into a golden net and making it engulf the first black dome. Immediately after, a violent boom came from inside. Although

However, Darius could vaguely sense movement from the figure hiding behind the black fog. The latter appeared to struggle, which meant things were looking up for Darius, who could finally fight the man on a level playing field. “Here’s your last chance to fight me fairly. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”“No one can have my life.” The man finally spoke, but his voice still sounded like a series of grumbles. “As a child, I was ordered to kill a hundred thousand people. Only then could I end mine. However, I’m content with my current life and don’t feel the need to end my life yet.” A scowl crept up his face as he stared at Darius and added, “I will say this—you’re the chattiest person I’ve ever met.”That was when his black gaseous life force began to fluctuate rapidly. Watching from afar, Darius noticed little ripples forming in the air and gradually returning to the black fog surrounding the man. He narrowed his eyes as he knew the battle was about to start. He extended his arms, loosen
