“It’s normal to assume anyone weak might become a slightly better fighter just because they now work closely with me as my subordinate. However, have none of you considered this—given my superior martial arts skills and abilities, how can any of my subordinates be ordinary people? Obviously, they can only be the best of the best and will always excel in some aspect over the general population,” Darius emphasized.Everyone standing opposite Darius widened their eyes in realization, the pieces clicking together in their minds. At the same time, their breaths grew heavier as they could not deny the truth in Darius’ words. Moreover, Darius was correct; they did not consider the possibility of his subordinates being remarkable figures like him.Placing both hands behind his back, Darius felt his patience run thin, so he spoke with an even frostier tone. “I believe all the necessary conflict and contradictions have occurred by now. So, whatever you guys decide to do in the following time i

“I want Darius dead, and he knows this. Thus, regardless of whether I actually do anything, Darius will do everything he can to start trouble with me. If that happens, I’ll still be as good as dead, so I’d rather meet up with him now and take matters into my own hands.”With that thought, Wilson balled his fists tautly, shut his eyes, and steadied his rapid breathing.…At the hotel, Darius’ reaction was different; he was utterly relaxed after responding to the text. He sat on the sofa, crossed one leg over the other, and leisurely sipped his coffee. Glancing at his hotel room’s door, he knew four people were waiting to see him, so he announced, “You guys may enter.”The four then formed a neat line before him, and he glanced at the two who stood in the middle. One was his senior from university, while the other was his newly gained follower with a heavily tattooed arm. He shot a look at the latter just then.That immediately prompted Travis to step forward, his eyes lighting up with

While saying that, Travis shot an intentional stare at Ansel. Little did he expect Darius would raise a brow and chuckle at his words. It was the first time Darius had laughed since Travis started working for the former. However, seeing Darius so genuinely entertained made Travus more anxious. He wondered if he had accidentally said something wrong. Gulping, he clarified in a small voice, “I think I might be stronger than Ansel when it comes to combat power.”Nothing changed on Darius’ face. In fact, his smile even deepened as he nodded at the former’s comparison. “That may be true. Perhaps you could have a heart-to-heart with Ansel when we get off this car.”That was when Ansel’s head whipped to the side as he scrutinized every inch of Travis, sizing the latter up. In truth, he had some martial arts skills but had always thought he was an average martial artist. Yet, upon seeing Darius’ current reaction, Ansel wondered if he had underestimated himself. It seemed like Darius was hin

Darius’ appalled gaze shot up at Uriah. “I didn’t expect you to open the car door. Although, if I were you, I’d go to the crime scene to gather the evidence before anyone destroys it.” Lips twitching, Uriah found Darius odd and wondered what on earth the latter was planning. Uriah had always believed he was an intelligent man who could see through many criminals’ minds. Yet, at that moment, he realized he had overestimated himself all these years. He could not read Darius’ mind. Then again, perhaps it was because the criminals Uriah had previously dealt with had simple mindsets, while Darius was the first capable and clever person Uriah had ever encountered. Several minutes passed as he fell deep into confusion. Eventually, Darius could not stand the silence anymore. He extended his leg out of the car but kept his upper body in place. Then, Darius hooked the bottom of the car door to pull it inward, grabbing the handle and slamming it shut. The difference was that Darius had not

The driver sighed deeply, placing his hand on his heart and patting it a few times before starting the engine again.However, the blond officer did not stop there. His gaze pierced through the driver as he snarled, “I’ve always admired you because you’re my senior, and you’re much older than me. However, you’ve let me down. I bet you’re only cutting our current suspect slack because he’s rich and influential. Does money matter that much? Is a simple bribe enough for you to sacrifice your beliefs as a cop?”He exhaled for the longest time, then turned to shoot a vicious sneer at Darius. “Although I don’t know how you knocked my colleague unconscious, I’m pleased you did it because you’ve basically reinforced your status as a criminal.”Darius nodded before shrugging. “Then, shall I do it to you too?” The blond officer’s eyes widened, and he quickly reached his arms behind his back in defense. Unfortunately, Darius was an enlightened martial artist, so no matter how fast the officer mo
