Darius looked away from the reporter after saying that. The reporter was dumb beyond belief; Darius felt insulted by every word he had to say to the guy. He sighed and sat down again with his arms crossed. He said disdainfully, "How much can you tell me about this mysterious person who's been feeding you lies?"The reporter's head whipped up, and his jaw dropped. He didn't know what to say or do because he hadn't expected Darius to refuse to let this matter slide. He gulped as his mind raced, trying to think of a way out of this.The reporter did have some information on the mysterious man, but he didn't want to let Darius get his answer so easily because it wouldn't benefit him in any way. Still, if he were to withhold the information, he'd be in for a rough ride. He shut his eyes and sighed. "I think he could be a friend of yours, but he's definitely not an enemy."The reporter opened his eyes but kept his gaze trained on his feet. "I've already told you everything I know. It's up

The head security guard realized this wasn't a person he could defeat. He took a deep breath and smiled. Then, he said, "Sir, perhaps we can talk things through instead of hastily resorting to violence." He looked at Darius nervously.Darius curled his lip and exhaled from his nostrils. There's only one thing I'd like to say—have the person in charge come to see me. My patience is running out, and I don't think you'd like to see what happens if you continue like this." He flexed his neck.The head security guard's expression turned dark at this, and his tone became grim. "I know you're powerful, and I'm sorry to have to say this, but a discussion was only on the table if you had a good attitude. It's not exactly the best right now, so I'm doing you a favor by reminding you of that. I only hope that things will proceed smoothly from here."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking scornful. At the same time, he stepped forward and moved past the head security guard as if he hadn't heard a word

"Now, I see that those articles were wrong." The employee's breathing sped up.Darius put a hand on his hip and nodded. He smiled, but it was cold. "You could be on to something, but it doesn't matter. My point right now is that I want to know where the person in charge is. Why is he hiding in his corner? Doesn't he have the nerve to show his face?"A trace of impatience flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at the table by the entrance. He said crisply, "Alright, I'm not interested in talking about these useless things with two women. Tell your employer or the person in charge that I'll give him five minutes. If he doesn't show up within that time frame, I can guarantee that this beautiful front desk will be turned to dust."He smiled and continued, "That includes everything that's on and behind the counter, of course. I couldn't care less whether any of these things are important."The employee gulped and looked at him tentatively. She was about to say something when an old man's

The person in charge looked stunned. "W-What did you say?""I said, you're an idiot." Darius curled his lips. He stood up and tucked his hands into his pockets. He slowly approached the person in charge. "It looks like aside from being an idiot, you don't have good hearing either. I've already made myself clear earlier. In the past, your reporters have written many false articles about me.""The way I see it, you're a member of Dream Investment Group. You may not work at its headquarters, but you're still one of its employees. That means we're on opposite sides." Darius' expression turned mocking. He crossed his arms."I'll be frank with you—I don't believe you're as dumb as you seem." He looked at the person in charge and smirked. "To tell the truth, I'm not too inclined to have a deep conversation here. You don't look like you're in the best of health; I'm worried you'll just keel over if we were to get into an argument.""Shut your trap, Darius!" the person in charge bellowed."I g

Slater tried to keep his expression calm. It was a little challenging, seeing as there were cracks spreading across the building's walls. It had yet to collapse, though. After a few seconds, he yelled, "Everyone in the building, listen up! Get out of there if you don't want to die! If you're still in there when the building collapses, no one will remember who you are and what you've done. Dream Investment Group will definitely cover this up!" After that, he lapsed into silence.Godfrey's eyes widened at his words. He ran out of the building, his chest heaving with rage. Then, he pointed at Slater and roared hysterically, "Do you realize what you're doing? You're still under my employment! This is a breach of contract! I can sue you for that! You're gonna pay for this!"Godfrey turned to look at the building behind him, which now had cracks all over. He could already see that he was going to die a terrible death for this. The building didn't belong to him; he was only in charge of runn
