"Still, doesn't he have anything to say about you accepting his sponsorship and not doing anything for him?" Darius was poker-faced.

Clive gulped and nodded. "He does, of course. That's why he warned me before that if I messed up again, he'd do everything he could to kill me. And so, I accepted this mission to keep an eye on you. I thought you guys were fighting over an inheritance, which meant neither of you was good or bad. Of course, it could also mean you were all bad."

He rubbed his bruised face, then smiled. "Then, when you beat me up earlier, I realized I was wrong—perhaps you were a good guy. If I could work for someone good, why would I want to remain loyal to a nefarious character?"

Darius smiled and said, "That's a surprising comment." He nodded at the door. "Well, that's all I wanted to know, so you can go now." With that, he shut his eyes and exhaled deeply.

Clive slinked out of the room and tried to shut the door behind him as silently as he could, but there was still a

    "No, no. It's just that you look pretty scary right now." Winston gulped, looking helpless.Darius chuckled and tapped a finger on the railing. "I don't know whether you're lying or telling the truth, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take it that you're not lying. Of course, I do hope that I'll see some results."Winston immediately sat up and looked at him seriously. "Yes, sir. Rest assured that I'll complete my mission!" He scrambled to his feet and hurried away.Almost as soon as he left, Bridget came in. She stopped beside him, and he gave her a surprised look. "You look conflicted. What happened?"She sighed. "I just didn't expect Winston to show up here and now. I thought he'd be busy battling the people of the Evans family.""Has something happened to them?" Darius quickly deduced this.Bridget smiled and nodded. "Yes. Everything's a mess there, especially because of Bennett's conflict with you. Those who were always working against him heard about this and now wa

    "If we were to line up according to our skills, I should be the first in line! None of you have bested me before!" Another man stepped forward with his hands on his hips. He had a bulging belly and held his head high, his blond hair gleaming under the lights."Oh, get off it! You had no choice but to settle disputes with violence because no one wants to take you seriously. We don't need to always resort to violence, which makes you think you're stronger than us.""Shut the fuck up! Say one more word, and I'll end you right here!""I'll show you whether you're worthy of standing in front of us!"Darius raised an eyebrow, surprised at their squabbling. Then, he scoffed and called out, "I actually don't care how you guys line up, but you should know I can hear everything you say and do outside there. If you do anything to upset me, I'm not going to leave a record of whatever you say. And I'm sure you still remember what will happen if your name doesn't show on my list."This only agitate

    Everyone's attention fell on him. At the same time, some of the more agile bodyguards started searching for the source of this sudden attack. Then, they saw Darius standing behind the crowd with his arms crossed and a faint smile curling his lips. In that instant, everyone gasped.Darius put his hands behind his back and smiled at them. "Are you guys stopping because I'm here? Go ahead!" No one dared to move because his smile didn't meet his eyes—he obviously wasn't in a great mood. When he saw this, he continued, "All of you had plenty to say earlier, right? Why so silent now?" He yawned. "I remember making myself clear when you guys first showed up at my door—I wanted you to silently get in line and that I would see you one by one when the time was right. Yet, we're already in the wee hours." As he spoke, he lifted his watch to show them the time. "Look at the time."Then, he lowered his arm and put his hands behind his back again, balling them into fists. "I'm almost done signing

    "My name's Robert Reid. As you can see, I have an appearance that calls for attention, so no one wanted to take me under their wing, which also means I'm solely loyal to the Reid family. However, before coming here, many people approached me, wanting me to secretly work for them. They felt that my appearance and clean slate would make me a likely candidate to be picked to protect you—if Bridget and Edward were busy with other things, that would free up space for new bodyguards to work with you." He paused here, then added, "Of course, this is everything that they told me. I didn't probe around for any of this information. I'm sure you're aware of how closely the Reid family guards its members' information. There's no way I'd be able to dig up these things on my own." Then, an apologetic look crept onto his face. "Rest assured that I didn't agree to work for any of them despite desperately needing their help. They picked other people over me, which has made me a prime target for bull

    Darius let out a chuckle when he saw the newcomer. "I'm surprised to see you here. I thought we'd talked about everything earlier."Winston smiled. "We did, but I didn't want anyone to know about that. That's why I'm here again. I'm sorry for wasting your time." He gave Darius a sharp bow. At the same time, he gave Darius a pleading look, not wanting Darius to expose his true identity.Darius crossed his arms and smiled mockingly. "Still, I'm curious—how did you sneak in here as part of the team of bodyguards? As far as I'm aware, they all know each other. You shouldn't know any of them, and vice versa."Winston smiled. "That's where you're wrong. We all know each other because I've driven them around before. We've had some fun times together. They don't know I'm not one of the Reid family's bodyguards, but I suppose my presence here will make them think I'm from a batch before theirs or something. Perhaps they think I'm not doing too well for myself, which would explain why I'm here

    "It's just that no one bothered telling you anything." Darius shook his head.As a professionally-trained bodyguard, Winston suddenly sensed the murderous intent hidden in Darius' gaze and actions—he wanted to kill him. Winston tensed, not knowing what had caused this sudden change. He patted himself on the chest and thought, "I've never even thought about hurting Darius from the moment I met him, nor do I intend to do anything to him." Still, Darius obviously didn't share this viewpoint. Winston gave him a pained look and said, "Darius, I've never done anything to harm you, but you're being really hostile now. I'm sure you're aware of how obvious your emotions are right now."Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled mockingly. "So what if I were to kill you now? You showed up here pretending to be one of the Reid family's bodyguards. If you were to try to harm me in any way, I'd have every right to end you. Everyone, including the authorities, would agree with me on this. Even if you wer

    Darius was used to people looking at him like that, but he could feel his blood boiling at the thought of someone raised by the Reid family being the one to look at him like that. He sighed and said, "You're someone the Reid family trained. No matter where your loyalties lay, you need to remember that you're considered part of the Reid family and that the people you're loyal to are also members of the Reid family. Don't let me catch you giving someone puppy-dog eyes and begging for mercy at the slightest pressure. Otherwise, you'll have a terrible end." The bodyguards outside the room immediately dropped their terror and wariness at his words. However, the one standing before Darius collapsed to his knees again and held his hands up beside his head, looking terrified. He sounded like he was on the verge of tears as he stammered, "S-Sorry, Mr. Reid. I didn't mean t-to offend you." Darius rolled his eyes and balled the hand atop the desk into a fist. He got to his feet and strode to

    Darius had a smile on his face. Edward's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "So, is he someone we can trust? I never would've expected this to happen." He lowered his head, looking exhausted. He wanted to sneak a peek at Darius to see what he thought about this but knew that as a professional bodyguard, that wasn't within the list of things he was allowed to do. Ultimately, he sighed and fell silent, frowning as he shut his eyes.Darius couldn't help chuckling at how forlorn he looked. He patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "Now, now. There's no need for that. You're a bodyguard, and even if you've gone through rigorous training to get to where you are, it's only normal that you don't know about these things. After all, this wasn't part of your training, nor were you given the chance to pick up on this. It's just like whatever medical knowledge you gain during your training is only enough to do simple first-aid and not a full-blown operation. You can't expect to become a busin

    "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
