Darius’ gaze turned laser-sharp at his words, and his face turned frosty as he got to his feet. He walked toward the 30-year-old man, who paled and trembled as Darius approached. He slapped his substitute on the shoulder, saying, “Why are you still standing there? As my substitute, you…” Before he could finish his sentence, Darius wrapped a hand around his neck, and he could no longer make a sound.All he could do was glare at Darius while kicking his legs in mid-air, trying to break free of Darius’ grip. He parted his lips and said with difficulty, “Do you know what you’re doing? I haven’t done anything wrong! What right do you have to treat me like this?”Darius frowned, looking impatient. “I thought I’d made myself clear—who are you, and where did you learn that insult from?”The 30-year-old man looked fearful at his words; he now knew what Darius’ issue was. He gulped and said, “If you let me go, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”Darius curled his lip and looked at the

The man looked at Darius. Though he knew it was impossible, he still prayed Darius would let him off the hook. To his surprise, his prayers were answered! Darius put his hands behind his back and looked at the man calmly. “I had no intention of taking your life, just as you had no intention of taking mine. Something about you surprises me—you have plenty of misdeeds, but none of them have resulted in deaths. Because of that, I will let you leave this place alive. As for your broken rib…take it as me teaching you a lesson.”Darius turned to reveal the door behind him. Then, he kicked the man and said, “The door’s over there—make yourself scarce now. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Chamberlain family.”The man’s eyes widened in shock. Though he had nothing to do with the Chamberlain family in the first place, he was still surprised that Darius was willing to let him go. He staggered to his feet, making sure not to aggravate his injury.Darius had indeed broken his rib, but

Darius looked at Liam, suddenly curious to know how he would handle this. To his surprise, Liam’s face turned frosty at the elderly man’s words. “My father’s treated you equally well—no, better than you’ve treated me—since you were a child, yet you had no qualms about harming him when you found you had something to gain from doing so. How do you have the nerve to demand I repay your kindness?”Darius raised a brow and exhaled. “Alright, I’m not interested in getting involved in your internal strife, and I want answers. If you can’t tell me where that man learned those words, at least let me know how he found you guys or anything you know about him.” He put his hands into his pockets and walked to the window. At the same time, his gaze swept around as he took in the Chamberlain family’s villa.For some reason, the elderly man couldn’t help feeling uneasy. Still, he gritted his teeth and said, “Darius, you have many questions. I must admit they make sense, but you’re wasting your time

“Now, however, it seems my kindness didn’t have the intended effect. If so, you should pay the price for wasting my mercy.” Darius looked at the elderly man with disdain.The elderly man returned his look with one of horror, not knowing what to say. “You know everything! How is that possible?”Darius smirked. “Of course. Why else would I have wasted so much time on you?” He reached for the elderly man as he spoke, making the elderly man’s knees go weak and fall to the floor. The elderly man’s lips trembled as he shut his eyes in despair. “You’re right—I do know more than I let on. However, I have to apologize because I can’t tell you anything. You may not believe this, but the Chamberlain woman I married isn’t my only wife. I have another secret wife.”Darius raised an eyebrow. He looked at the elderly man mockingly but didn’t say a word. On the other hand, Liam couldn’t accept this. He exclaimed, “How can you call her a secret wife? At most, she’s a mistress. Besides, how could you

Darius raised an eyebrow as he looked the old man in the eye. “You’re lying. All of the formidable black-robed people are dead.”The old man looked at him dazedly. However, when he spoke, his tone was agitated. “When did that happen?” He looked at Darius desperately, but it soon faded into doubt and suspicion. “You’d better be telling the truth, Darius Reid. Otherwise, there’ll be hell for you to pay. I know you grew up in squalor, so you might’ve picked up some bad habits. However, you should know that certain nifty tricks that seem to work like magic may not exactly give you the same results when used on a wealthy person.” He looked Darius in the eye as he spoke, trying to determine whether Darius was lying.Darius looked at him scornfully. “You people constantly use the environment I grew up in to attack me, but you’re the ones who end up dead.”The old man stared at him for a few moments before slowly chuckling. Then, the chuckles turned into a hysterical laugh. “Their deaths must

Liam didn't say anything else and followed Darius into the backyard, only stopping when they were at a deserted corner. His eyes widened as he pointed a trembling finger at the corner, saying, "This place looks completely different. It used to be covered in flowers, but it's bare now."Darius raised an eyebrow, then nodded and smiled. "Yes, you're right. While you were away, many people saw a lot of soil and earth being moved out of the Chamberlain family's villa, which means they've built a new secret chamber somewhere."Liam's breathing sped up. He couldn't believe his father and daughter had been locked up here all this while. How were they doing in there? Had they had a bite of food or a drop of water since his return to the villa?Darius patted him on the shoulder when he sensed his anxiety and guilt. "You don't need to be so nervous. I can sense things haven't been too bad for them there." As he spoke, he stepped forward and stomped on the ground, sending soil flying to reveal t

“He’s been worried sick about you two.” Darius strode out of the secret chamber and into the tunnel. When he got to the hole he’d entered the tunnel from, he saw Liam slowly lowering himself to the ground—one foot was already on the ground while the other was still in mid-air. Darius raised an eyebrow at this and said, “Congratulations for making it down here, but I’m sorry to say you’ll probably have to get back up there soon enough.” After that, he channeled his life force to his legs and flew upward.Liam gaped at him, never having seen someone fly without assistance before. A moment later, a joyful and surprised voice rang behind him, crying, “Dad!” Nothing else mattered to him at the moment. He turned to see his daughter and father walking toward him.When Darius landed on the ground, he poked his head over the hole to see what was happening there. He cleared his throat to attract their attention and said, “I hate to break up this touching reunion, but you guys should probably c

Darius smiled at their anxious looks and rapped his knuckles on the table. “Alright, I’m just pulling your legs. I’m the one who still has things to do—I haven’t had time to bother about the company lately. Look at all the documents piled up here.” His subordinates cheered at his words, and he shook his head in amusement. He watched as Erin skipped out of the room, then noticed Pearl standing at the door. He asked, “Has something happened?”Her eyes were red and tear-filled before she spoke, making Darius frown. Despite being reluctant to put aside work, he got up. However, Pearl shook her head to stop him and said hoarsely, “It’s nothing. W-We’ve just been expelled…” She couldn’t bring herself to continue.Darius’ brows furrowed. “What happened for us to deserve expulsion?” He clenched his fists tightly. Now, he knew how tough it’d be for him to be accepted as a genuine member of the Reid family, let alone head it in the future. Though he didn’t think being unable to graduate from
