"The unfairness will end after the baseball competition, so hurry up and apologize to them now. If memory serves me well, these guys are kind and will let this incident slide." The person kept his eyes on the ground while speaking. Once he finished, he clamped his lips shut and dared not utter anything more.

In one glance, Darius knew the former was likely a victim of the baseball players' bullying in the past. Exhaling loudly, he shoved his hands into his pockets and stated, "I know you two are close to flying off the handle, and you want to beat me up."

The two baseball players' laughter tore through the air, reverberating so loudly that even Rudd and Marcus, who waited for Darius' text before heading downstairs to welcome him, heard it.

…

Earlier, Rudd and Marcus sat by the window and chatted.

"Darius hasn't called in a long time. I wonder how he's doing these days," Rudd said with a smile. "I bet he's living the dream now because he helped me through a tough situation."

    The baseball player's speed and effort in throwing a punch at Darius was for naught; he watched, dumbstruck, as his fist swung ahead without making contact with Darius' chest. Not only that, but Darius even vanished before his eyes, causing his fist to ram into thin air. He gulped, a foreboding sensation tingling beneath his skin.Tumultuous exclamations rang out from the crowd just then."My God!""What have I just witnessed?""Was that merely a projection?""No! That guy vanished because his speed of dodging was too fast for the naked eye to see. Hence, our delayed realization of his actions made us think he's a hologram.""Gosh! Why haven't I heard a word about Darius having such abilities?" At once, the attacking baseball player's knees weakened. He had turned to face Darius but immediately whipped his head around to question the previous speaker. "What did you say? What did you call this guy, the one I'm trying to beat up? What's his name?"The onlooker that mentioned Darius' na

    "My only regret is not visiting you guys in so long; I recently inherited my family's company and have been starting my own business, so my schedule's overwhelming," Darius explained, relieved that he could finally see his friends again. To his surprise, a stern frown crossed Rudd's face upon hearing his words."Yes, your schedule is full, but you should take breaks sometimes! Otherwise, your life will be miserable!" Rudd lectured."That's true. Trust me; I know it well enough." Darius nodded, his lips curving into a warm smile. "Could you guys let me into the dorms? The security system no longer has my information, so I can't get in.""Sure! That's an easy enough task." Rudd lightly tapped his chest with a fist, then brought out his dormitory access card and led the group toward the door.While trailing behind the others, Darius cocked a brow at the unique security access system. Nevertheless, he didn't dwell on it for long; he quickly joined the others inside the building."Do you n

    Darius crossed one leg over the other.Throughout that, Kristoff didn't detect any hint of anger or displeasure on the former's face. A relieved sigh left his lips while his features relaxed. "We're interning at Dream Investment Group, but luckily for you, it won't be at their company headquarters—instead, we'll intern in their subsidiary company. Indeed, you and one of their employees have had several quarrels, so you might dislike mingling with the other Dream Investment Group employees. However, I hope you recognize a crucial point; although the head and branch offices belong to the same company, they're significantly different."Darius raised a brow but couldn't help smiling at how seriously and cautiously Kristoff explained things. He had met many that knew about Reid Consortium, making him assume the Reid family was famous. Yet, Kristoff's ignorance made it seem further from the truth. Amused, Darius nodded. "Well, may I know the name of the subsidiary company I'm interning in?

    "I trust you guys. Anyway, I don't think lodging a complaint is gonna resolve this." Darius smiled as he spoke. The look in his eyes was gentle and completely different from how he'd been earlier.Rudd, Marcus, and Ethan heaved sighs of relief at this. They beamed at him and said, "Well, I guess we'll have to rely on you for food now."Darius grinned and nodded. "Of course. Now, it's time to eat. Order anything you want." His grin widened when his three roommates cheered. As they headed out, they saw the whole rugby team walking in their direction. Yes, this time, it was the whole baseball team, not just two of the players. Darius raised an eyebrow and turned to look at his three roommates—they'd turned pale. He smiled and turned to face the front, saying, "I think it's safe to say that you three also feel they're here for us."Rudd gulped. "Yes, that's exactly what I think. Don't worry, though. We won't let them lay a finger on you."Marcus nodded and said shakily, "Even if we fail t

    Pitching the ball accurately, swiftly, and powerfully was something that he had to master. He had to practice endlessly for this, and he'd always been proud of himself. It was also something he applied in daily life, particularly when getting into fights with others. It had never failed him over the years—this was a first, and it was a horrible defeat. The baseball team captain gulped and widened his eyes in disbelief. "How's this possible? How could you catch my punch?"Darius rolled his eyes. "I've played nice with you because you've contributed much to the university's reputation." His tone was calm, which caught the baseball team captain off-guard—he thought Darius was going to mock him, but Darius had complimented him instead. However, he regretted this thought almost as soon as it had formed in his mind, especially when he felt Darius' grip on his fist tighten.He let out a cry of pain; it was loud enough for everyone present to hear him. Terror washed over everyone, especially

    Darius put his hands behind his back. "It looks like someone's been running their mouth about me." He glanced at the baseball team captain. "I only wanted to bring my roommates for a meal. Now, I'd like to know who told you that my roommates and I were gonna pick a fight with you because of those two baseball players." The baseball team captain gaped at him without making a sound. Darius straightened up and sighed. "I'm guessing it's someone you trust wholeheartedly—I doubt you would've believed something as dumb as this if it were anyone else."The baseball team captain's face darkened at this, but Darius didn't seem to notice. The former glared at the latter and growled, "Are you saying I'm an idiot?" He shuddered with rage, then ultimately lowered his head and exhaled heavily. "Yes, you're right. I'm a fool, but it's not exactly something anyone would like to hear." He raised his head and glared at Darius again, but Darius didn't bat an eyelid. He merely stood there with his hand

    The baseball team captain glared daggers at Darius and snarled, "Cut the crap. Since you think you're so great, why don't you show us what you're made of?"Darius raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "I have to say; you're dumber than I thought."The baseball team captain's eyes widened. His breathing sped up as he roared, "What the hell did you just say? I dare you to repeat that!""I'm not gonna repeat myself. You've made yourself clear—you wanna fight me, right? I've thought about it and decided there's no reason for me to turn you down," said Darius.The baseball team captain gnashed his teeth, then nodded. "Fine, then. If this is how you want things to be, I don't need to go easy on you just because you've been the talk of the university recently." He held his head high and snarled, "I hope you don't regret this!" With that, he darted toward Darius like an arrow being released from a bow.Darius shook his head and sighed. Was this guy an idiot? Had he forgotten about his failed attemp

    The baseball team captain gulped and looked at Darius. Darius wondered what he was up to when he said shakily, "Don't worry. From this day on, aside from myself, you can ask every member of the baseball team for help. Unless they're in the middle of a game, of course."Darius could tell the baseball team captain was serious about this. He wasn't trying to be sarcastic. Still, it amused Darius that he'd emphasized he couldn't ask for help when the baseball team was in the middle of a game. He shook his head. "Aside from yourself? Does that mean you're not willing to help me?"The baseball team captain's face darkened at this. "No, that's not what I meant. Why do you keep getting me wrong? I'm more than willing to help you."Darius sighed, leaned against the wall, and smiled. "You're the one getting me wrong now. I just felt that the way you said that was kinda adorable."The baseball team captain stiffened. He doubted any man on this earth would enjoy being described as adorable. His l

    "If you hadn't picked on me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. No matter how wealthy I've become, I'll never be able to take these black robes off!" The mysterious man's voice was shaky. He was extremely agitated.James frowned at that. He said curiously, "You keep saying I've done you wrong, but everything I did to you was what you did to others. I only gave you a taste of your own medicine."The mysterious man's breathing sped up when he heard that. He barked out a laugh and sneered, "I'll be honest with you. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet someone as dumb as you again."He shook his head. "I find it hard to imagine what your grandson will do when he sees you like this." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The man was caught off guard. He looked at Darius as his body trembled violently.Darius frowned when he saw this. It was completely different from what he'd imagined. He narrowed his eyes at the mysterious man, his

    Gabriel smiled and nodded. "Alright, then. I'll return to my workstation and prepare a proposal on what to do with Noah."Darius nodded and smiled. "Good. That's all I ever wanted." He turned to leave. "You need to get to work, and I need to return to my hotel to get some rest."Gabriel stopped. Darius' words made him hesitate. "I'm sorry to be asking this because I don't think it's my place, but it's probably better for me to ask anyway. I don't remember there being any hotels nearby."You should head home if you wanna get some rest. I don't understand why you're heading to a hotel to rest."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He turned with his hands behind his back to look at Gabriel helplessly. "I don't know how to feel about what you've just said. You're making me think you're a little silly. Wouldn't I know how to search for a hotel?"It won't take you long to prepare a proposal, but it'll take me ages to get home from here." Darius turned and left.Gabriel's lips twitc

    "Because you realized the risk was far greater than what you were comfortable with," Darius said calmly.But Noah started trembling. He looked at Darius in terror. He didn't expect Darius to see right through him after some simple back-and-forth. His eyes widened in fear.Everything that was happening now made him feel like he was dreaming. Noah had only been a step away from success, yet Darius had ruined everything.Tears filled his eyes as he gazed at Darius. "I've said everything there is to say. I'm the lowest rung on this ladder, and I only have one purpose for being here. It's to make you come under the authorities' control. Once you're here, my mission's accomplished."Someone else from the authorities will be here to deal with you, but that has nothing to do with me. They wouldn't have told me about it, anyway."Darius put his hands behind his back without saying anything. He turned to leave. Noah's eyes widened as he stared in fear at Darius' back.Darius didn't see this, bu

    When Darius straightened up, his face became devoid of emotion. He said calmly, "I've wasted too much time on you. Now, I only want frank answers. Otherwise, I'll punish you for every lie that you tell me. I don't see any hope in your eyes, but let's see whether you prove me wrong."Darius paused, then continued, "I've already said something similar once. That was a chance I gave you. From this moment onward, I want you to know that I won't repeat myself because I believe you've had enough time to prepare yourself."Gabriel stood beside him and put his hands behind his back as his lips twitched. He'd thought about the various reasons for Darius repeating himself. But the one thing that hadn't occurred to him was that Darius had done it to give Noah time to prepare.Gabriel felt like applauding Darius, but the rational side of him stopped him from doing so. His rationality told him he'd be in for trouble if he were to do that, so he only looked at Darius with a smile.Darius sensed Ga

    Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then, he said, "You're too nervous, Gabriel. It makes it seem like you don't trust me. In truth, there's nothing for you to worry about."He stretched his neck and continued, "I know very well how bad the consequences of destroying this building will be. Aside from those silly regulations, I'll also need to pay for it. I might be wealthy, but that doesn't mean I'll enjoy forking out a huge sum of money as compensation."Darius spread his hands and shrugged. At the same time, he pointed at the window and turned to look at Gabriel. Then, he said, "Look. The windows are perfectly fine. They're not even scratched. That shows my life force is non-destructive."That's why you have nothing to worry about. You can put your heart back into your chest."Gabriel straightened up and sighed in relief. Then, he gave Darius an embarrassed smile.Darius grinned but didn't say anything in response. He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at Noah. He sai

    "We're classmates from the same major, too! We were interns at Dream Investment Group, remember? And we got kicked out on our first day. You broke my legs because of a tiny argument we had outside the building! The surveillance cameras captured all of this!" Noah cried.Darius tucked his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes. Then, he said mockingly, "You're the biggest fool I've ever met. Do you think you're the only one who can tamper with the surveillance footage? Any footage that can be tampered with can also be restored."Noah's eyes widened in shock. He gulped and tried to think of a way to explain away the injuries Darius had inflicted on him. Still, he couldn't think of anything. Before he had the chance to think any further, Darius spoke.He said, "There's one thing you got right, though. Gabriel is on my side, so he'll stand up for me no matter what you say."Gabriel's lips twitched at that. He subconsciously opened his mouth to say something in return, but Darius bea

    "And I don't think it's my job to make you see sense," Gabriel continued. He put his hands behind his back. He gave Noah a look that was an odd mixture of gentle iciness. "I've given you more than enough time and chances."Gabriel sighed. "It's obvious that you don't care for that, though. And so I think it's time for me to treat you as an officer should." He sat down on the other side of the desk again.Noah's face was white with fear. Gabriel acted like he didn't see this, though. He smiled. "As I mentioned, I gave you plenty of time and chances, but you didn't appreciate them."His gaze turned frosty. "If that's the case, I'm sure you won't object to me doing this per our guidelines."Noah cried, "No, wait! I don't know what Darius has promised you to make you side with him unconditionally, but there's no way I'll let you two get away with this. You have to make sure you do everything by the book. It's a reasonable request, and you have no right to turn me down!"He trembled viole

    Gabriel put his hands behind his back as he looked at Noah with a smile. "Now, you've piqued my interest."Noah looked up at Gabriel. His voice was deep and hoarse as he said, "If you help me, I'll give you half of the Reid Consortium's assets once I get my hands on them. You should know that without me, there's no way you'll get a dime from the Reid Consortium."Gabriel snorted with laughter when he heard that. He straightened up and slowly circled Noah. He sounded mocking as he said, "You've lost me there. I tried to puzzle it out, but it doesn't make sense at all."Why would I want to get my hands on the Reid Consortium's fortune? Even without it, I'm perfectly independent. I don't need it to survive."Gabriel crossed his arms and looked at Noah mockingly. "Or maybe you're different from the rest of us. Maybe you'll die without the Reid Consortium's wealth." He smirked and gave Noah a sharp gaze.Noah raised an eyebrow and smirked. "You're the one making me laugh now. I don't know

    Gabriel sounded gentle, but everyone knew that was far from the truth. This was especially true for Noah, who sat across from him. He felt incredibly nervous. He shut his eyes and breathed rapidly.Noah never would've expected to still be in danger after being taken in by the authorities. He frowned and looked up at Gabriel. "So, are you determined to help Darius now?" His voice was shaky, and his eyes were wide because of his nerves.His emotions were clear as he looked at Gabriel. Gabriel bit his lip, feeling like he was about to laugh. To stop Noah from noticing, he quickly exhaled and sat down with one leg over the other. At the same time, he leaned forward to place his hands on the desk.He tapped his fingers on the desk quickly but rhythmically. Gabriel's eyes were devoid of emotion as he looked at Noah. "Tell me, Noah. What happened between you and Darius? Earlier, you said he was the one who injured you. Do you have any proof?"Because we checked the surveillance footage, a
