Chapter 75
The looks on everyone’s faces instantly changed. At first they were surprised by the appearance of such a flashy and expensive sports car, but when they saw who the car belonged to, any trace of surprise and admiration they felt for the owner of the car vanished immediately. They now had looks of contempt on their faces. It was expected, as the crimes Luke Erihal had committed weren’t petty ones. They were grave ones, and not only that, he was even a repeat offender! Luke noticed the looks of contempt directed at him, but could care less about that. He didn’t care about what some students thought about him, especially at this crucial juncture. His family was on the verge on being bankrupt, and it was a well known fact that if they were unable to receive external funds to improve their stock prices, by the end of today, the Erihal Group would cease to exist. The top business tycoons knew that the Erihal Group had most definitely offended a tall figure in the corporate world, which w

The students all sucked in a cold breath when they arrived at that conclusion. Such conclusion meant that Darius was even more impressive than they thought. It was very unnerving that such a brilliant figure was frolicking in the university as a poor and wretched figure! Darius on the other hand was still glaring at Luke with unbridled hostility. He didn’t care a single bit about Luke’s apology. He wasn’t a saint or a martyr, so how was he supposed to forgive someone who came after his life? It was simply an irreconcilable action! He was also having a hard time believing that Luke was truly remorseful for his actions. Perhaps he was only willing to beg for leniency because the protection of the Erihal Group would be nonexistent if the Erihal Group went under. “I’m sorry, but I cannot help you out. I have no idea who is behind the targeted actions toward the Erihal Group, therefore there’s nothing I can do.” Darius said coldly. Even though he was itching to beat up Luke, he reigned

Darius was incredibly shocked at Luke’s action, but he recovered very quickly. After drinking the golden liquid, he had received a tremendous boost to his physical attributes and his combat prowess also received a drastic power up.He quickly leapt back before launching a powerful kick to Luke’s wrist. The kick was incredibly powerful, dispossessing Luke at once. The knife fell from his hands and landed a safe distance from Luke.Everyone present breathe in a sigh of relief at the turn of events. They thought that Luke would be successful in his attempt, but luckily Darius was well versed in combat, therefore thwarting Luke’s murder attempt.Darius stared at Luke with unchecked hostility. One look at him and one could tell that he was incredibly furious!He was a fool to have ever felt an iota of sympathy towards Luke. He thought that the dire situation his family was would make him remorseful of his actions since he was the one who put them in a difficult situation in the first place
Chapter 78
The following days were peaceful for Darius. Helen still refused to pick his phone calls or reply his texts, leaving Darius at a loss on what to do. Since the matter with Luke had been settled, he then focused on his studies. The second semester exams were fast approaching and he needed to pass effortlessly.After two weeks of intense studying and preparation, the semester exams came to a conclusion. As expected, Darius was the best student in the exams when the result came out. Darius had an apathetic response to that. He had always emerged as the best student in all the exams he had taken since he got admitted to Kingston University, so this time wasn’t any different to him.Now that the exams were over, the students were given a two months break, before they resumed school for the next semester. This meant that when school resumed for the next session Darius would be in his final year of study.The whole student body was bustling with excitement after seeing their results. Majority

Darius let out a helpless sigh at his grandfather’s words before sending the company’s address to his grandfather’s e-mail. There was nothing he could do than to obey his grandfather’s wishes.He quickly exited the conference room with Erin following closely behind. He rushed downstairs and stood at the entrance to the building to wait for his grandfather.Just thirty minutes after he sent the company’s address to his grandfather, three beautiful white Rolls-Royce cars pulled up outside the company’s building.The bodyguards who escorted his grandfather alighted from the Rolls-Royce cars and opened the door to a Rolls-Royce car. His grandfather and Bruce then alighted from the car slowly.The bodyguards quickly surrounded his grandfather and Bruce, providing them maximum security from any security threats.Darius quickly walked over to his grandfather and greeted in a polite voice.“Grandfather! You didn’t really need to come over here!”However his grandfather just waved off his gree

“I can only give you the capital to start up your company under one condition.” Darius’ grandfather declared in an authoritative tone.Darius gulped slowly at that, but braced himself to ask the condition.“What condition, grandfather?” Darius asked tentatively.“You have to make a profit of five times the original capital I give you in one year.” His grandfather answered domineeringly.Darius eyes widened in surprise at his grandfather’s condition.He had to make five times the original capital in a single year?!That was a very tall condition; especially for him!Darius had only little experience which was gained only after managing a few assets like Nix Inc. and other businesses for a few months. Even at that, he had not made five times the profit they usually earned.Darius was feeling very unpleasant at that moment, but he forced himself to calm down. He had not yet known how much his grandfather was willing to give him as capital. Hopefully it won’t be a very large sum. If it wa

The caller was Helen!It had been close to two weeks since Darius rescued Helen from Luke’s vile actions. After taking her to her dorm, she kissed him on the lips and ran off before he could even react.After that day, he had tried to get in touch with her; not because of the kiss, but because he wanted to know if she was doing alright as he guessed that she might have gotten a huge scare.Contrary to his expectations, Helen refused to pick any of his calls at all! Not only that, she totally refused any meeting with him at all, leaving Darius at a total loss on what to do. She was completely avoiding him.Darius had no choice but to leave her for the time being. He had no idea why she was avoiding him, but he respected her choice. He still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn’t spend his whole time thinking about Helen’s refusal to meet with him.Therefore one could imagine how surprised he was when he saw that the caller was Helen. He did not expect her to contact him so soon.“He

Darius frowned slightly at Erin’s words as he wasn’t expecting a visitor anytime soon. However since this person had come to see him, he figured that he should entertain the person.“Let the visitor in.” Darius said.Erin nodded in agreement before exiting the office. Seconds later, the door to the office pushed open and a man stepped in, with Erin following suit.One look at the man showed that the man was an ordinary business man. He was dressed in a worn out black suit that had several patches on it, and his shoes were equally worn out. Even though Darius was sure that he was middle aged, the wrinkles on his face made him seem way older than he actually was.“Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Mr. Reid!” the man greeted in a very polite voice. He even gave a light bow as he spoke.Darius merely smiled in response to his greetings. He had seen his outfit and knew that he was an ordinary, or perhaps even a struggling business man, but there was no scorn in his expression. He rec
