Chapter 407
Because of those complicated circumstances,Almiron City only had one television network—FT TV. Darius initially believed his suddenarrival would not attract anyone’s attention, but he had underestimated the manspeaking on the phone earlier.The man knew Darius would show up, so hehad already ordered someone to await the latter’s arrival at the televisionnetwork’s main entrance. Unfortunately, his estimations were slightly off, andDarius arrived at the scene 20 minutes later than predicted. Pissed off, the man raged in his mind, “Noone would dare treat me this way unless they aren’t aware of who I am and mypower!”With that, he shot up from the sofa andonto his feet. His abrupt movement caused his knee to hit and trip Daisy, whohad knelt beside him this entire time. Pain and shock caused Daisy to yelp sharplyas she fell, her two palms pressing against the floor to keep her sittingupright. She gawked at the man while pouting and asking in a meek tone, “Sir, Idon’t unders

“We’re warning you—leave at once!Otherwise, we’ll have the police deal with you!” the security guards bellowed.“I look forward to when that day comes.”Darius merely smiled at them and shoved one of the security guards aside by thecollar.That was when the elevator doors opened.Many people inside wanted to get out, but they could sense the overwhelmingtension outside once the doors cracked open, so they dared not move.Darius’ gaze swept past them, and just aseveryone inside was still tremblingly fleeing the elevator, his attentionreturned to the security guards. “Someone from this place told me to comeover. Thus, I ask that you let me see him now, or I can’t guarantee whetheryou’ll end up obliterated like that security gate earlier. FT TV has committeda heinous crime—they’ve reported several pieces of fake news and distorted thetruth. Because of that, my patience for your television network has reached itslimit.” He spoke calmly but in a way that emphasized he meant ever

The lead security guard’s breathingquickened, tickling Darius’ skin. However, there was nothing malicious abouthis expression; curiosity flickered in his eyes as he asked, “Why didn’t youstop me from getting in? You and I are the only ones in this elevator, so youcan easily break the surveillance cameras and attack me if you wish. It’s clearthat I’m no match for you. There’s no doubt I’ll get defeated if you strikenow.” He stared at Darius with a complicatedwhirlwind of emotions, but the one thing he did not feel was fear. Standingopposite Darius, he kept both hands by his sides while raising his head in arelaxed manner. Darius returned the former’s stare. Soon,the elevator arrived on the 10th floor, and a smile curved on Darius’ face. “Well, I’ll have to make your expectationsa reality then.” After saying that, he extended his arm. While nothing seemed unusual about hisaction, it set off a gust of wind inside the elevator. The wind blew somightily that the lead secur

Darius added, “Since the two of you calledme over, I think it’s only fair that you both face me in dealing with theissue.”The director shot up from the couch. Hisbelly rolls bounced like jelly as he dashed toward the door. It took him lessthan a second to do so.Daisy saw everything happen, her eyesrounding with interest for the humorous scene. She knew the director hadrecently gained a lot of weight, so he never made any explosive movements. Thatwas the first time Daisy saw him doing that.When the director finally arrived at thedoor, he placed one hand on his waist while hunching over and panting. Hisbreathing was so fast that anyone would have worried he would pass out in thenext second. Standing aside, Daisy lowered her head, butit was not out of worry; she did so to hide her smile. After all, Darius hadalready opened the door, so he and the director were awkwardly staring eachother down. Daisy kept her head low and pursed her lipstautly, suppressing her laughter.

“What a joke. Have you forgotten? Youcalled and texted him in front of me, saying that you did all these thingsbecause you fell for his good looks on TV. None of this would have happened ifhe was willing to date you!” A sneer wrinkled the director’s face as hescoffed, “Besides, it seems you’ve misunderstood something—you’re not mywoman.”Darius felt so repulsed by the two thatbile gathered at the back of his throat. “If you guys called me here just to boastabout how you’ll force me into coercion, well, I can tell you this—you’repractically courting death by doing so!” he interrupted, reaching a hand up tomassage his temples. “Exterminating my foes is the last thingI’m willing to do. But now? I’m okay with it.”With that, he headed into the office andsat on the sofa, leisurely crossing one leg over the other.Meanwhile, the director and Daisy weresitting and lying flat on the ground, respectively. Both instantly widenedtheir eyes at Darius; this office was supposed to b

Darius could not even guarantee that theidiotic director could understand what he had to say, so he remained silent.Yet, he was shocked that the director viewed his silence as a sign of defeat.The director saw it as confirmation thatDarius was wearing a fake. Hence, he jutted his chin at Darius with the utmostarrogance and spoke even louder than before. “Why aren’t you responding? Is itbecause I’ve guessed correctly, and you’re now afraid?”Darius did not want to waste another breathexplaining things to the director anymore, so he merely approached the latterto emphasize, “I’m a cantankerous man, which I believe you’ve heard from othersin the past few days. However, what shocks me is that you insist on upsettingme.”As he shook his head, he cracked hisknuckles, letting out a crisp and chilling sound.Upon hearing that, the director’s kneesgave in. He plopped onto the ground while locking eyes with Darius and gulpingnervously. He dared not speak anymore as he could tell Da

“You’re clearly an unknown brat. I don’tknow how you won the hearts of your little family and got them to buy you thatexpensive watch, but let me tell you this! If I were you, I’d return the watchor at least gift it to someone else to gain benefits for my family!” thedirector bossed.“What you just said is very contradictory.Earlier, you claimed my watch was a counterfeit. However, now you’re saying myfamily gifted me the real deal.” Darius cocked a brow. He spoke so calmly thateveryone could hear the lingering threat in his tone. It did not take a genius to tell he was ina foul mood at that point. Sighing, Darius balled his fist and cracked hisknuckle again. However, this time, he followed up by bending over, reachingout, and raising the overweight director with one arm. He thundered, “You said I never did a DNAtest to prove my blood relation before reuniting with my family, didn’t you?”The director felt as if an invisible forcehad locked his neck in place. He wanted t

“There’s also the guy at the company’s mainentrance who oversees all our security personnel!” At that thought, all thehairs down the director’s back straightened.Standing opposite the former, Dariusquirked a brow and remarked, “That’s an odd reaction. You’re radiating terror,but I can’t imagine why. Need I remind you that you asked me to come here? Ithought you’d at least be mentally prepared to face the consequences once Iarrive.”The director’s jaw fell open for thelongest time. At some point, the director snapped to his senses and pleaded,“I-I’m sorry! I’m more than willing to relay your request to my superiors—Iswear I am, but I can’t do it because I might lose my job. After all, thecompany doesn’t belong to one person, and we’re also a television network…” He gulped and stared at the ground aftersaying that. The cogs in his brain turned rapidly, recalling everything aboutDarius that he had learned from Daisy earlier. The director fell deep inthought, hoping to conv
