CHAPTER 426
The 12 became desperate as they began begging Darren for mercy. Some pleaded with him to reconsider, while others tried to explain that they had never personally done anything to him.However, Darren remained unmoved by their words. He had already made his decision, and there was nothing they could say that would change it.That was when Adrian stepped forward. Unlike the others, he did not immediately beg for his life. Instead, he looked at Darren and tried to make an offer. “Darren, you should spare me. I can transfer fifty million dollars to you right now. After all, your family has lost everything, so fifty million dollars should be a very large amount of money for you.”For a moment, Darren stared at him. A smile slowly appeared on his face, and within seconds, the smile turned into a loud guffaw. Adrian looked at him in confusion, but when he realized Darren was laughing, he assumed it was because Darren was happy about his offer. He began laughing as well.“You see?” Adrian s
CHAPTER 425
The twelve members of Club 12 stared at Darren as though they were looking at a ghost. Nobody could understand how he had suddenly appeared among them after they had watched him being taken away by eight armed guards.One of the members finally stuttered, “H-How is this possible?”Darren looked at him with an innocent expression.“What is possible?”His teasing tone made the room even more uncomfortable.He gestured toward their chairs and said calmly, “Why are you all standing? Take your seats. I want to be part of the meeting today and hear what you usually discuss during these meetings.”Nobody moved.Adrian was the first to recover from the shock. His face twisted with anger as he turned toward the remaining guards.“What are you waiting for? Kill him!”The guards immediately snapped out of their fear.The confusion on their faces was replaced by murderous intent as they raised their rifles and aimed at Darren.The next second, gunshots erupted throughout the room.Bang! Bang! Ban
CHAPTER 424
Adrian was the first person to answer the woman's question. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Darren with a confident smile.“What if he is not bluffing?” Adrian repeated, almost as if the question amused him. “There is no need to worry about that.”The woman looked at him. “And why are you so certain?”Adrian smiled.“Because I went to the same school as this loser. I have known Darren Hilton for years. Nobody in this room knows him better than I do.”Darren remained completely silent.Adrian pointed at him.“I can tell when he is bluffing. I could probably tell even if I were asleep. Darren does not have any trick hidden up his sleeves. He is only trying to play mind games with all of you because he knows he is screwed.”One of the men around the table nodded in agreement.“That makes sense.”Another member laughed. “Exactly. He knows he cannot fight all these armed guards, so he is trying to frighten us.”Adrian nodded confidently.“That is exactly what he is doing. He know
CHAPTER 423
Adrian continued clapping for a few seconds before he finally stopped. His eyes remained fixed on Darren, and the mocking smile on his face grew wider.“Who would have thought that a day would come when the pride of the Hilton family would be standing at our mercy?” Adrian asked with a laugh. “The change of power is real, Darren. You should look around and understand what is happening.”He spread his arms as though he wanted Darren to admire the room.“Club 12 is already on the edge of controlling this entire city. We have money, influence, businesses, connections, and powerful people working with us. Meanwhile, you are standing here with nothing.”Adrian pointed at Darren.“You are about to be completely wiped out of existence.”Darren looked at him for a few seconds before answering in a flat tone. “It does not surprise me that you are among these losers.”Adrian's smile froze.Darren continued, “I did not expect anything better from you.”Adrian's face immediately changed.“What di
CHAPTER 422
The woman seated at the head of the table slowly leaned forward. She was dressed in an elegant black suit, and unlike the other members of the group, she carried herself with the kind of authority that made it obvious she was the leader of Club 12.Her eyes moved from Henry to Darren.“Henry Murphy,” she said coldly, “we sent you to bring Eddie Murphy’s head. Who is this young man you have brought here?”Henry remained silent for a moment before a sly smile appeared on his face.The woman’s expression became colder.“Did you forget that this meeting is supposed to be secret? Nobody is supposed to know about Club 12, and nobody who is not a member is supposed to know about this place.”“I did not forget,” Henry replied with a small smile. “I know exactly how important this meeting is.”“Then explain yourself.”Henry slowly turned toward Darren.“I could not bring Eddie.”Several members immediately frowned. “You could not bring him?” one of the men asked angrily.Henry shook his head.
CHAPTER 421
Henry had barely been pulled out of the overturned car when he stumbled forward and turned to face Darren. Although he was clearly shaken by everything that had happened, he tried to hide his fear behind anger.“You have no idea what you are doing,” Henry growled. “If Club 12 finds out that you dared to lay your hands on me, they will—”He did not get the chance to finish.Darren's hand moved across his face.Slap!The impact was so powerful that Henry's entire body spun around before he crashed face-first onto the pavement.For a moment, Henry remained on the ground in disbelief.He had been threatened before, insulted before, and even attacked before, but he had never expected Darren to slap him so casually.Darren walked over, grabbed him by the clothes, and pulled him back to his feet.Henry looked at him angrily.“You—”Another slap landed across his face.Slap!Henry staggered sideways.Darren grabbed him again before he could fall.“I gave you two hours,” Darren said coldly. “
