CHAPTER 284
The leader of the thugs looked at Darren, Alicia, and Joshua before asking coldly, "Where is Mr. Hilton?"Darren glanced toward the sky where the small aircraft was already becoming nothing more than a tiny silhouette disappearing into the clouds. A mocking smile appeared on his bruised face as he pointed upward and said, "There he is. Go catch him if you can."The man's face immediately darkened. He followed Darren's finger and stared at the departing plane for several seconds. By the time he looked back at them, a dangerous expression settled on his face."Put them in the cars."The order had barely left his mouth before the thugs moved. Several men immediately grabbed Darren while others seized Joshua and Alicia. Darren struggled briefly, but a metal rod slammed into his stomach, forcing the air out of his lungs."Move," one of the men growled.The three of them were dragged toward the vehicles and shoved inside. Moments later, the engines roared to life and the convoy sped away f
CHAPTER 283
After several minutes of pursuing through the streets of the city, Joshua looked through the side mirror, the three vehicles carrying Mr. Red's men were nowhere to be seen."Are they still there?" Jeff asked nervously.Joshua shook his head."No. "We lost them? But only for now"Alicia frowned."For now?"Joshua's expression remained serious."I know security tactics. I know how people like them operate. I used several routes and misled them. But they will eventually find us again."The atmosphere inside the car immediately became heavy again. Nobody spoke.About thirty minutes later, the vehicle drove into a private airport on the outskirts of the city.After parking the car, everyone got out. Alicia looked around."Why are we here?"Joshua turned toward Darren."Young master, the best thing you can do right now is leave the country."Darren frowned.Joshua continued, "You and Master Hilton should leave for a while. Stay somewhere safe and return after things calm down."Jeff immedi
CHAPTER 282
Joshua, the security man’s words immediately made the three of them to freeze.Darren frowned deeply."Hurry?" he asked. "What are you talking about?"Jeff stepped forward."Joshua, calm down and explain properly. Why are you telling us to hurry?"Joshua was breathing heavily. Sweat covered his forehead as though he had run all the way to the hospital."There is no time," he said urgently. "You have to leave right now."Alicia looked confused."Leave? Why?"Joshua swallowed hard."It’s Mr. Red."The moment he mentioned that name, Darren's expression darkened."What about him?" Darren asked coldly.Joshua quickly explained."Mr. Red showed up at the mansion with lawyers and police officers. They confiscated everything. The mansion, the vehicles. Everything."Jeff let out a bitter sigh."We already know that."But Joshua quickly shook his head. "No. That is not what I came to tell you."Everyone became silent. Joshua looked around nervously before lowering his voice."After Mr. Red took
CHAPTER 281
Darren stood frozen as the Bugatti disappeared into the distance. His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.The laughter of Adrian and Clara still echoed in his ears.Beside him, Derek remained unconscious on the ground while his breathing became weaker with every passing second.Jeff's face was filled with worry.“Young Master, we are running out of time.”Darren looked down at his grandfather and felt panic rising inside him.Just as despair began settling over them, the sound of another engine approached. A luxurious Mercedes-Maybach slowly pulled up beside the road.The moment he saw who stepped out, his eyes widened.“Alicia?”Alicia hurried out of the vehicle and practically ran toward them.Her face was full of concern.“Darren!”She stopped beside him and immediately looked at Derek lying on the ground.“I heard what happened,” she said anxiously. “I came as soon as I could.”Darren stared at her. After everything that had happened today, he suddenl
CHAPTER 280
The driver's words had barely settled when Derek suddenly swayed. His face had become completely pale.The old billionaire looked as though all the strength had been drained from his body.“Master!” Jeff shouted.Before either Darren or Jeff could react, Derek's eyes suddenly rolled back and his body swayed. Then he collapsed heavily onto the ground.“Grandpa!”Darren immediately dropped to his knees beside him, panic filling his voice as he grabbed the old man's shoulders.“Grandpa! Grandpa!”There was no response.The reporters nearby immediately became alarmed as they rushed closer.“What happened?”“Chairman Hilton collapsed!”“Somebody call an ambulance!”Despite all the shouting, nobody actually stepped forward to help. Jeff quickly knelt beside Derek and checked his pulse. His expression darkened for a moment before he finally looked up.“He is alive.”Darren immediately released a small breath of relief, but it lasted only a second.“But his pulse is weak,” Jeff added tensely.
CHAPTER 279
Without warning, the security officers moved. Several of them grabbed Darren while others surrounded Derek.The sight shocked everyone in the room.For decades, Derek Hilton had been the most respected businessman in the country. People stood when he entered a room. Politicians treated him like royalty. Even powerful investors carefully chose their words around him.Yet now those same hands that once shook his respectfully were grabbing him like a criminal.“Let me go!” Darren shouted as he struggled violently.He tried pulling free, but the guards tightened their grip.“You dare touch me?” Darren roared. “I said let me go!”The security officers remained silent. Not a single one loosened their hold.Meanwhile, Derek did not resist. The old man simply lowered his head. His shoulders seemed smaller than before.His entire body looked drained of strength.The man who had once controlled a vast business empire now looked like a defeated old grandfather who had lost all reason to keep fig
