"I've been here long enough, yet you haven't made your move," said Darius.The Consciousness smirked at him. "Oh, you have no idea how much I want to take you down. Alas, it looks like I'm no match for you. So, you should enjoy your life here!" He snapped his fingers.However, he was too late. As soon as his words fell, black life force seeped out from the walls around them and circled him. The Consciousness' own life force immediately disappeared—it didn't even manage to get to the corridor.Darius stood where he was. When he didn't see any major changes, he walked toward The Consciousness. The Consciousness could see Darius approaching and was horrified to find he couldn't move his body at all.His eyes turned crimson. As soon as he met Darius' gaze, his body collapsed to the floor. The crimson in his eyes immediately disappeared. When this happened, the black life force that had been circling the man suddenly exploded with a bang.Darius raised an eyebrow and watched as the dust s

"Yes, you're right." The man lowered his head, then looked up again with tears all over his face. His voice was hoarse. "I want to apologize to you. Your father probably wouldn't have died if he hadn't insisted on saving me.""What really happened?" Darius frowned. "I thought my father died because of an accident, as did my mother. It was also because of that accident that I went missing."The man's tears kept streaming down his face as he nodded. "You're not completely wrong. That's what everyone thought had happened. But, the truth is that your mother's the only one who died in that accident. Your father survived, but there were people watching him the whole time."He paused. "They used some tricks to make it seem like your father had died. Then they sneaked his body away before it was cremated. They brought him to this hospital because they wanted to get some information out of him."The man shut his eyes. "I was an idiot. I came across some clues while searching for you. They l

Darius looked at "Hansley" coldly. "When did the real Hansley die?""He's not dead," The Consciousness rasped. He smiled stiffly. "Not dead in the way you humans would think, anyway." He cackled.Darius gave him a scornful and disdainful look. "You look like an idiot, and your greed is showing." He smiled coldly.The Consciousness' breathing hitched, but he soon calmed down. "Why aren't you attacking me? Weren't you raring to go earlier? Make your move!" As soon as his words fell, the walls started cracking again. An ugly look crept onto Hansley's face, which was currently under The Consciousness' control. "What the hell are you doing, Darius? You're destroying my home!"Darius raised an eyebrow. "I don't think I've ever met anyone as foolish as you. Have you forgotten that this is exactly what I was doing before you showed up? I stopped only because you told me to, not because I was afraid."The building had yet to collapse, but there was an increasing number of cement blocks landing
Chapter 1028
Four balls of life force floated out of a corner out of Darius' sight and tried to catch up with him. Unfortunately for them, he was too fast. The balls of life force bobbed up and down in the air for a while before returning to the collapsed building. Darius knew nothing of this. He stepped on the accelerator, taking the three balls of life force he'd earlier captured with him. He wanted to go rescue Bridget, but he figured she would've been brought to safety long ago.Suddenly, he slammed the brakes and brought the car skidding to a stop. He sighed as he realized he'd forgotten something important. Edward was still at the hospital! As Darius prepared to turn the car around, he saw Edward's panting figure appear in the rearview mirror. Darius raised an eyebrow and waited for Edward to catch up.Sweat had beaded on Edward's forehead by the time he got into the car. It wasn't his lack of ability that rendered him incapable of catching up with Darius. Darius had just left too quick

Darius frowned. He stopped and turned to look at the reporters. "I've been patient enough thus far, especially since you tried to blame me for things I didn't do and drive a wedge between me and the developer of Solaris Estate. Still, I pretended not to hear any of that and left without saying anything. If you insist on harassing me, I can't guarantee you'll like the outcome." He smiled perfunctorily, then turned and walked away.The reporters stopped and exchanged looks, caught off guard by Darius' words. As far as they knew, no one had threatened reporters like this before because the general public would believe anything they published. Even if their articles were based on total lies, the public would believe them. This was why none had dared offend them throughout their careers.Now, however, Darius had done just that. The reporters' eyes gleamed menacingly as they started thinking of ways to smear Darius' reputation when writing their articles. Suddenly, Darius turned around and

##The reporters paled and stared at Darius in shock. Their breathing hitched as he smiled at them, making them uneasy. They tried hard to glare at him and sound as mad as possible, but to Darius' ears, their voices were shaky. Darius approached them again. He no longer wanted to give them chances, no matter the reason. There was an angry look on his face. The reporters didn't expect him to ignore them outright, and they trembled in fear at his rage.Darius sneered at this and put his hands behind his back. "I've already made myself clear once, and I didn't expect to have to repeat myself. Still, it doesn't matter. I'm wealthy but also kind, so I'll repeat myself. Before I do that, I hope you'll remember what I say this time!"He paused and swept a gaze over the reporters. When he saw their expressions turning ugly, he smiled and continued, "I can be patient with you, but I want you to remember that there's a limit to my patience. This is my second and final time saying these things t
Chapter 1031
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
Chapter 1032
Darius laughed mockingly. "You've been causing trouble for me for quite some time now, but you've never heard of the Reid family? Don't you find that absurd?" His expression darkened at the awkward looks on the reporters' faces. "This means I've been wasting my breath this whole time!"He cracked his neck. "I want you to know that I'm upset by this; it makes me feel defeated." He tucked his hands in his pockets and swept a gaze over the reporters. "If that's the case, I don't think any of you should continue working as reporters. Of course, you can return to the newspaper office to pack your things. I'll be making a trip down there to speak to your employers."Darius shrugged, then turned and left without another look back. The reporter who'd spoken earlier remained rooted to the spot, still holding out his phone. As he watched Darius speed off, he sighed. He didn't know what was happening anymore. He subconsciously wanted to call his boss to update him, then stopped. He figured none
