And that was whyhe was here. This was his only chance. He’d originally been the richest man inAlmiron City, but Darius had easily taken that all away from him. This meantthat none of the other affluent families in Almiron City could help him becausethey didn’t stand a chance against Darius.Wilson had beentrying to decide between starting over in a new place before returning to getrevenge and letting go. Though he’d only just heard of the Reid family anddidn’t know much about it, he clearly understood it was wealthy and influentialenough to have eyes and ears in many different cities. This meant the Reidfamily was even more terrifying than he imagined.At this verymoment, Darius was seated in his office as he thought about the lead securityguard’s father’s company. The lead security guard had already left the room,but he suddenly returned. He hurried into the room and quickly shut the door.His sneakiness made Darius raise an eyebrow and look at him curiously—he lookedlik

He got a callfrom Ansel, who sounded infuriated. Before Darius could say anything, Anselsnarled, “Mr. Reid, it’s as you expected—none of them want to come with me! Infact, they’re unbelievably contemptuous.”Darius smiled.“Check your inbox in two minutes, then forward my email to them.” After hangingup, his fingers flew over the keyboard. A few seconds later, information on FTTV’s board of directors appeared on his desktop. He sighed, thencopied all the dirt he could find on them into a word document before sendingit to Ansel.Ansel forwardedit to the board members without looking at it. Then, they turned to him with anodd mixture of angry looks and sycophantic smiles. How could there be suchpeople in this world? He felt weirdedout and didn’t really know how to respond, so he put his hands behind his back.It was a goodthing he’d grown up in a challenging environment. He’d heard plenty aboutpeople like this in the past, but this was his first time seeing them inperson

Darius alreadyheld the board members accountable for his wasted time here. He smirked andturned his computer on again to scrutinize the information he’d gotten on them.The more he read, the wider his eyes became. There werethirteen board members in total, and aside from Ansel, none of the remainingtwelve were kind souls. Not only had they not done a single act of kindness intheir lives, but they were also continuously doing bad things.Darius narrowedhis eyes, practically spitting fire. It was hard to believe that he hadn’tnoticed these things before. He took a deep breath, stood up, and put his handsbehind his back. Ansel frowned at this, sensing that Darius wasn’t in a goodmood. He put his phoneon speaker, noticing that it made Darius look slightly appeased, and herelaxed. However, it didn’t last long because the person on the other end ofthe line hung up after a few seconds.Ansel’sexpression darkened, and he looked at Darius. No matter how dense he was, hecould te

Any job thatwould match his education level would require him to have a stable family thatcould support him, not one that constantly wanted to exploit him. Darius felldeep into thought.If this were anyother time, Ansel would definitely notice something was up with Darius.Unfortunately, he was too focused on finishing the document that he didn’trealize this. He sighed with relief when he was finally done and patted himselfon the chest. Then, he lookedup at Darius. The joy on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced byanxiety. His eyes widened, and he didn’t even dare to blink. He said shakily,“Mr. Reid, no one’s looked at me like that before, so I’m really nervous now.”He didn’t hide his true emotions.Darius was theone whose eyes widened this time. He was surprised, but he smiled at Ansel’schange. He could now be frank about his thoughts and wasn’t shy to share them.Darius nodded and said, “I’m surprised that you can express your emotions andthoughts before m

Darius smiled at them mockingly. “What a bunch of idiots,” he thought. Then, he said, “That is—if the authorities don’t come after you.” The atmosphere in the room tensed again, and no one said anything. He shrugged. “Now, let me tell you what’s going to happen from now on. I’m sure you’ve noticed that someone’s absent despite this being a board meeting—the manager Ansel hired, the one with a controlling stake, isn’t here. All of you are experienced and successful businessmen, so I don’t think I need to tell you what that means. Now, let me make it clear that I wouldn’t mind if all the board members were to be bankrupt. In fact, I’d be happy to see you lose your wealth, status, and control over your respective companies. There’s a chance that you know nothing about my family because you’re just not wealthy enough to have earned the right to know.”He crossed his legs, looking carefree, but his aura kept the board members silent. They couldn’t refute him at all, and Darius was pleased
