CHAPTER 564
Darren stared at the gang leader, who was still pinned against the overturned car by Joshua.“You have one chance to save your life,” Darren warned him. “Tell me who sent you to kill me, or I'll let Joshua finish what he started.”The man trembled at the threat. After seeing what Joshua had done to his men, he had no intention of risking his life by keeping quiet.“It was Charles!” he blurted out. “Charles McArthur sent us!”Darren's expression changed slightly.“Charles McArthur?”“Yes! He's the one who hired us. He wanted us to kill you so you wouldn't marry his sister, Allison. If you died, his father might change his mind about making Allison the heir and give the entire family fortune to him instead.”Darren remained silent for a moment.He wasn't entirely surprised by the revelation. Charles had openly threatened him before, making it clear that he saw Darren as an obstacle to inheriting his father's fortune. However, Darren hadn't expected him to go as far as hiring assassins
CHAPTER 563
Darren was shocked by what he had just heard. For a moment, he stood silently, trying to understand why someone would want him dead.He turned his attention to the gang leader, “Who sent you to kill me?” Darren asked again.The man let out a short laugh. “Why would I tell you that? We're professionals. We don't reveal the identities of our clients.”“I'm not asking you to do anything unreasonable,” Darren replied. “You're the one who came here intending to kill me. The least you can do is tell me who sent you. As far as I know, I've never wronged anyone.”The gang leader turned toward the other thugs and laughed again, as though Darren had just told him a joke.“You're wasting your time. I'm not telling you anything. That's final.”One of the men stepped forward, looking impatient.“Boss, why did we even bring so many people for this job? I can take care of him alone. Look at him. He's nothing but a mouse to me.”The gang leader glanced at Darren before shrugging.“Fine. Go ahead and
CHAPTER 562
Darren's expression changed the moment he heard the name Inspector Jack.He knew exactly who the man was.Inspector Jack was the lead investigator assigned to the case involving Adrian Blake and the other members of Club 12, who had been burned alive inside their secret meeting place. Darren had set the building ablaze, believing that everyone inside would die in the fire.However, Adrian had survived, and the investigation had continued.Inspector Jack had been suspicious of Darren from the beginning.So far, Darren had been fortunate enough to avoid being exposed.But now, with Inspector Jack about to take over the case involving the mysterious man with superhuman abilities, Darren had no idea what might happen if the inspector discovered him at the warehouse.He couldn't afford to take that risk.The senior police officer reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone."Let me contact Inspector Jack," he said. "He should be able to tell us how to proceed with this investigation.
CHAPTER 561
By the time Darren arrived home, it was already deep into the night.Since his car had been damaged beyond use, he had taken a cab. He paid the driver and stepped out, only to find his grandfather pacing anxiously near the gate.Derek had clearly been waiting for him.The moment he spotted Darren, he hurried toward him."Where have you been?" Derek demanded. "What happened to you? I've been calling your phone for hours, but you haven't answered a single call!"Darren looked at his grandfather.Derek continued before he could respond."I even sent our men out to look for you, but none of them could find you. Do you know what they found instead? Your car!"He shook his head in frustration."The car was so badly damaged that they could barely recognize it. And the door had been ripped off completely! Darren, what exactly happened to you?"Darren fell silent for a moment.He knew he couldn't tell his grandfather the truth. Explaining that Joshua had kidnapped him would only lead to more q
CHAPTER 560
Darren remained silent for a while, trying to make sense of everything Joshua had told him.He had known the Legacy System was powerful, but he had never imagined that it could take complete control of someone who wore the ring.After a moment, he looked up at Joshua."If the ring is making you do these things, and you have no control over it, why don't you simply take it off?"Joshua let out a bitter laugh."If only it were that simple.""What do you mean?"Joshua raised his right hand and showed Darren the ring on his finger."Because the system has already taken control of me. I'm not supposed to be its host, Darren. My body was never meant to contain it, but now that it has entered me, it has begun treating me like a parasite would treat its host."Darren frowned."A parasite?""Yes. It feeds on me while using my body to carry out its own will."Joshua looked down at the ring."I have tried countless times to remove it. I've pulled at it, twisted it, and done everything I could th
CHAPTER 559
Darren struggled desperately against the man's grip, trying to free himself.He threw several punches, but none of them landed. The man avoided every attack with ease, as though Darren's movements were too slow to pose any threat.Darren gritted his teeth and tried again, but it was useless."Who the hell are you?" he demanded.The man remained silent.Darren reached for the edge of the man's hoodie, hoping to pull it back and reveal his face. However, the stranger caught his hand and pushed it away before he could accomplish anything."Stop hiding your face!" Darren shouted. "What do you want from me?"The man still refused to answer.Darren continued struggling, but he was no match for the stranger's strength. Before he could attempt another move, the man suddenly struck the back of his head with a light blow.Darren's eyes widened.He tried to remain conscious, but his vision quickly blurred. Within seconds, everything went dark.When Darren finally opened his eyes, the first thin
