CHAPTER 381
Not too long afterward, a nurse suddenly rushed out of the operating room and headed straight toward Doctor Maurice's office. Darren and Jeff immediately exchanged worried looks."What's happening?" Jeff asked anxiously.The nurse did not answer. She simply hurried into the doctor's office.A few minutes later, she returned with Doctor Maurice.The sight of the nurse rushing out and coming back with the doctor made Darren's heart tighten. He immediately stood up."Doctor, what happened?"Doctor Maurice raised his hands reassuringly."Relax. There is nothing to worry about."Darren frowned."Then why did the nurse come looking for you?"The doctor smiled."Your grandfather has regained consciousness."Darren's eyes widened."He's awake?""Yes," Doctor Maurice replied. "He has regained consciousness, and his condition is stable. There is no reason to panic."Jeff released a long breath of relief."Thank God."Darren quickly asked, "How is he feeling?""He is doing very well considering
CHAPTER 382
The inspector looked at Darren coldly before revealing, "We received information that you are in possession of cocaine here in this hospital."Jeff immediately became furious."Are you out of your mind?" he asked. "How dare you make such an accusation against my young master?"The inspector gave him a cold look."You don't have to believe me. There is only one way to find out whether the information we received is false or not."He turned toward two of his officers."Search him."The officers immediately grabbed Darren and pressed him against the hood of one of the police cars.Darren did not resist. He knew he had done nothing wrong, so he simply allowed the officers to search him.One officer checked his trousers and pockets while the other searched his jacket. After a few seconds, the officer reached into one of the jacket pockets and suddenly stopped.He pulled out a small white plastic bag. The officer looked at it before handing it to the inspector.The inspector opened the bag
CHAPTER 383
As the police cars drove toward the station, Darren sat in the back seat between two police officers, his hands secured in handcuffs. He remained calm despite the situation, but several questions kept running through his mind.Who paid the nurse to implant the drugs in his jacket?Why did this person want him arrested? He had just arrived here in Ashwen and was yet to even make an enemy. Then why would someone want to implicate him?Darren didn’t know.After a few minutes, he finally looked toward the inspector sitting in the passenger seat in front of him."Inspector, how did you know I had drugs on me?"The inspector did not turn around.Darren continued, "Did you even consider the possibility that whoever reported me might have planted the drugs on me? You found the substance inside my jacket, but that doesn't prove it belonged to me."The inspector finally glanced at him through the rearview mirror."Shut up."Darren frowned."I'm only asking a reasonable question.""I said shut
CHAPTER 384
Seeing that the officers were not going to let him save their superior because of their ignorance, Darren knew he had no other choice. The inspector had only seconds left, and if Darren continued waiting for permission, the man would die right in front of him.He looked at the unconscious inspector one more time. He could not stand there and watch someone die when he had the ability to save him.Without warning, Darren pulled his hands apart.Crack!The handcuffs snapped open as if they were made of plastic.The officers stared at him in shock."What the—"Thinking he was trying to escape, two of them charged toward Darren.Darren simply stretched out both hands and pushed them aside. His strength sent the officers stumbling backward several steps."Stop him!"Another officer rushed toward him, but Darren was already moving.He reached the inspector and knelt beside him.The officers regained their balance and prepared to attack again, but they suddenly stopped when they saw Darren p
CHAPTER 385
***Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Derek was still lying on the bed in the recovery room. His body was weak from the surgery, but his mind was already much clearer than before. He slowly turned his head toward Jeff, who was sitting beside the bed."Jeff," Derek called weakly.Jeff immediately looked at him. "Yes, Master?""Where is Darren?"Jeff hesitated.Derek frowned slightly. "I asked where my grandson is."Jeff forced a smile. "Young Master Darren just went to grab something. He will be back soon."Derek stared at him."And what were those sirens I heard outside a few minutes ago?"Jeff's heart skipped. He had been hoping Derek would not ask about the sirens."It was nothing, Master," he replied quickly. "There was probably some incident outside the hospital."Derek continued staring at him."Jeff.""Yes, Master?""You are hiding something from me."Jeff's expression changed slightly.Derek knew him too well. He had served the Hilton family for years, and Derek could easily re
CHAPTER 386
Once the Supreme One stepped out of the car, Jacob followed closely beside him as they headed toward the hospital with more than a dozen thugs behind them.The moment the group reached the entrance, the hospital security men immediately moved to stop them."Excuse me, you can't all go in there," one of the security guards said. "This is a hospital. You need to—"He did not get the chance to finish.One of Jacob's men stepped forward and shoved him aside. Another security guard tried to intervene, but two thugs quickly grabbed him and forced him against the wall."Stop!" another guard shouted. "You can't do this!"The commotion immediately attracted the attention of several hospital workers.Doctor Maurice was among them. The moment he saw Jacob and his men storming into the hospital again, his face turned pale."You again?" Doctor Maurice said as he hurried toward them. "What are you people doing here?"Jacob did not even bother answering him."Move," one of the thugs said coldly.Doc
CHAPTER 387
"That is a very good question," the Supreme One replied with a faint smile.He turned his head toward Jacob."Leave us."Jacob's expression changed slightly. "Boss?""I said leave us."His voice was firm, leaving no room for argument.Jacob hesitated for a moment. However, he knew better than to disobey the Supreme One.He turned around and walked toward the door. Before leaving, he glanced at Derek one more time, clearly wondering what connection existed between him and the mysterious man.The door closed behind him. The room became completely silent.Derek stared at the Supreme One. The masked man slowly raised his hands toward his face.He carefully removed the half mask.Derek's eyes remained fixed on him.The face hidden beneath the mask belonged to a man who was well over fifty years old. He was almost the same age as Derek, yet there was something unusual about his appearance. Unlike Derek, whose face clearly showed the marks of age, this man's face seemed to have aged much mor
CHAPTER 388
Derek did not even know how to react. He stared at the scarred man in disbelief before finally asking, "Andrew... is it truly you? I thought...""I died?" the Supreme One completed for him with a cold smile.Derek eyes widened slightly, still struggling to believe what he was seeing. Five decades ago, when Derek Hilton and Andrew Cortez were only seven years old, they had been the best of friends. They had grown up together in Oakland County and were almost always seen together.But one day, everything changed.The two boys had gone into the woods to play when someone suddenly tried to kidnap them. They were only children, but they managed to escape from their attackers and ran as fast as their little legs could carry them. Unfortunately, Andrew was badly injured during their escape and eventually could no longer continue running.Derek was only seven years old at the time, and he was too small to carry his injured friend by himself. Desperate to save them both, Derek left his frien
CHAPTER 389
Derek's breathing became heavier as everything finally started to make sense. He now understood why the mysterious Supreme One had always carried such deep hatred toward him.Andrew blamed him for ruining his childhood, and that was why he had made it his personal mission to destroy Derek and everything he had built.It was almost unbelievable how life could turn out. Who would have thought that the man responsible for Derek Hilton's worst nightmares was actually his childhood best friend all along?Derek sucked in a deep breath and turned to face Andrew again. His voice was filled with regret as he said, "Andrew, I am sorry for everything you have been through. I understand why you are angry, and I understand your pain…"Andrew immediately interrupted him."You understand my pain?" There was anger in his voice. "You know nothing about my pain, Derek. You know nothing about what I went through."He stepped closer to the bed, his eyes burning with years of resentment."Do you know wha
CHAPTER 390
Derek's breathing became unsteady as he looked at Andrew. His eyes were filled with desperation as he pleaded, "Your problem is with me, Andrew. It has nothing to do with my son or his wife. Whatever anger you have, direct it at me, but please leave them out of this."The Supreme One stared at him coldly."I want you to feel the same pain I felt," he replied. "When I was taken away, I lost everyone. I had no family, no one to protect me, and no one who cared whether I lived or died. I want you to know what that feels like."Derek shook his head desperately. "Then take your revenge on me. Do whatever you want to me, but please release my son and his wife. They don't deserve this. Whatever happened between us happened more than fifty years ago. They had nothing to do with it."Andrew's expression remained cold."They are equally guilty. They are your family," Andrew replied. "Your son is your child, and his wife is your daughter-in-law. That is enough."Derek's eyes filled with tears.
