Even after going through his memories, Darius realized that he still had no clues. It didn’t go down well, and his expression darkened. He pressed a finger to his temple and tried to remember again. At this moment, Edward’s voice rang out from the door. “Mr. Reid, perhaps we should leave if you’re done finalizing the designs.” His voice was low because he was worried Darius was asleep. Of course, he wasn’t afraid of waking him up—that was exactly what he wanted to do.He was only worried that he would startle Darius if he were too loud. After all, an enlightened martial artist’s senses were much sharper than a normal individual’s. After saying this, he waited by the door and frowned as the two women approached him.At the same time, his ears perked up—he could hear someone’s footsteps in the room. Edward was worried that Darius would run into Ashley and Olivia when he stepped out of the room, so he quickly said, “Are you two coming over here because there aren’t any other customers?

“Luxury brands like us have our own cultural heritage, and no matter how hard the going gets, we can’t lose that heritage! So, there’s no way a loser like yourself can be allowed to own anything that belongs to our brand—it’ll only make us look bad. I’ll write a letter to our headquarters and explain the matter to the Reid family. I’m sure they’ll understand why I did this and back me up.” Ashley smiled, then put a hand on her chest and said dramatically, “Oh, you have no idea how bad you make me feel. You carry the surname of the Reid family, but you’re not considered one of them. I pity you, but I’m only just a normal employee—I can’t help you with this. Perhaps I’ll skip my steak dinner tonight to satisfy your desire to see me suffer.”She burst into hysterical laughter after saying this, but it only took a simple sentence from Olivia to turn her laughter into rage. “Ashley, I think you got something wrong. Since this customer has already paid the deposit, it can only be forfeite

Hansley fell silent. He bit his lip and looked at Darius helplessly. “I didn’t expect you to think that, but I can’t deny that you make sense.” He shrugged, then put a hand on the laptop on the table. Then, he stopped. Instead of turning the laptop on, he retracted his hand. “If that’s what you think, I can probably use another method to prove that I’m telling the truth. However, if you insist that you’re right, you can leave now.” He pointed at the door.Darius raised an eyebrow. He didn’t expect Hansley to act like this because of how anxious he’d seemed earlier and how much he wanted to prove he was telling the truth. Now, however, his attitude had changed completely. Darius found this odd, so instead of leaving, he settled down on his chair and crossed his legs at the knee.Hansley immediately understood what he wanted and felt his heart skip a beat. He stopped biting his lip, but he gnashed his teeth as he said, “You’re a lot more hateful than you used to be. You were so adorable

After saying this, she held her head high, looking pleased with herself. “However, as a friend, I’ll definitely respect your choice and give you my blessings. So, let’s not see each other from now on. I’m sure that you and your new employer will soon be driven out of Almiron City and back to where you came from. I hope you’ll still be as happy then as you are now.”As she spoke, her head oscillated between Hansley and Darius, and it made her look like she was deranged. When she was done, she focused on Darius and smiled delightedly, saying as she backed away, “You probably don’t know what the price of the property is like here, but I know very well. And so, I’d like to bet with you—what will you do if you can’t buy any of the property here?”“I’ll give you a hundred thousand dollars,” Darius said calmly.Ashley merely gave him a mocking look and shrugged. “I was going to say that if you could buy this building, I’d give you two hundred thousand, but it looks like that won’t be necess

Now, here was the first person who truly wanted to harm him. Darius stood on the steps outside the store without saying a word. More and more lights started flashing around him, and there was even the vague sound of someone talking into a microphone.When Hansley heard it, he hurried over to Darius and grabbed him by the wrist. “I think we should leave now. I know you have many questions, but I want you to know that I definitely won’t harm you. So, come with me.” Then, he turned to leave while still holding onto Darius. To his surprise, Darius didn’t budge. Hansley stopped and turned to look at him curiously.Darius said calmly, “You probably heard the sound of reporters talking into their microphones, but it doesn’t matter.” He put his hands behind his back. “By coming here, I’ve already proven that I have nothing to fear.”Hansley’s jaw dropped. He wanted to continue persuading Darius but didn’t know what to say. In the end, he sighed and shut his eyes. Darius found his reaction we
