Chapter 201

"Then, when our mother came over to get even with him, they killed her!" "Oh? Well, I haven't heard such an absurd thing,” one of the control room personnel replied calmly, "We'll investigate this matter. I'll need you guys to come with me until we find out the truth."

Darius could tell the personnel was not in a good mood, but he remained in his seat. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The personnel nudged his spectacles before frowning at Darius. Even his tone took on a snarl.

"Did you not hear what I said? I told you to come with me!"

Darius continued to stay seated, not moving, save for his gaze that shot toward Edward.

Upon seeing that, the personnel looked over at Edward. "I saw what happened earlier. You were the one who started the fight and beat them up."

That was when the airport's speakers recited Darius and his entourages' names, urging them to board the plane.

Darius stood, adjusting his suit before saying, "Before you decide to arrest us, you'll need to look for their mother's so-called dead body and investigate the plane."

Each of the control room personnel's faces darkened. Their job was to ensure every flight's safety, after all. Hence, their attention snapped over to Darius as one of them asked,

"What do you mean by that? Something's wrong with the plane?”

Darius yawned lazily before pointing at the brothers on the ground. 'These two reek of a paint unique to only aircrafts. I believe you guys should investigate the matter thoroughly."

"You'd better be telling the truth. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe." The personnel narrowed his eyes at Darius.

After saying that, one of the two control room personnel rushed to the airport apron while the other remained with the group.

Darius speechlessly shrugged at the two personnel's reactions.

Soon, a series of arguments broke out from the airport apron.

Darius looked over and saw a group of people marching toward him. He was an awakened martial artist, which meant his senses were heightened. That was why he could accurately detect the wrath of the person leading the incoming group.

However, his focus was not on them at that moment.

He looked at the brothers on the ground and pointed out, "Based on reason and my past habits alone, I should end you two with my bare hands..."

The personnel watching over them glared at Darius upon hearing that.

Regardless, Darius ignored him and continued staring at the two while threatening, "So, both of you should be grateful for this control room personnel. It's because he appeared that you guys survived up till now."

The brothers were terrified to hear that, which Darius had expected. Thus, he nodded satisfactorily.

Edward did not know what Darius was planning, so he merely stood by the latter's side with a stern countenance. His gaze drilled into the brothers the whole time.

"Mr. Reid, perhaps I can deal with these two," he suggested.

Hearing that, the brothers did not hesitate to get off the ground. They reached out to balance their bodies that still swayed. Then, they used all their might to run and hide behind the personnel.

One of them even gripped the personnel’s sleeve. "Please save us! We previously did something that angered them. But these guys are all quick to anger, so our lives are in danger now!"

Darius rolled his eyes.

"We've been sitting here this entire time while you guys were the ones who approached us. It's all reflected in the surveillance footage."

The personnel grew frustrated at the group's ceaseless bickering, so he thundered, “That's enough! Shut up, all of you, or you'll get punished for starting a ruckus and speaking nonsense!"

The blank look on Darius' face remained unchanged. Meanwhile, the brothers were now full of fear.

They were about to agree to the personnel’s orders when the group of angry people arrived.

Darius stayed in his seat, but his eyes roamed over the people before him. He primarily focused on the man at the group's forefront, who had a deep frown.

The man wore a pressed suit.

Darius yawned, shutting his eyes while stating with certainty, "You're the manager of this airport."

That only enraged the manager even more as he barked, "You know me, huh? Then have you intentionally come to cause trouble at my workplace?"

Hearing that made Darius’ eyes open, and he examined the former before shutting his eyes again.

"I don't know you. I merely saw the word ‘manager’ on your name tag."

Moments passed before the shocked manager composed himself. "Then why have you informed the control room personnel something's wrong with our plane? What are your intentions? Our airport's security is the best in the country. Don't you know your little accusation means our flight can't take off? We'll have to financially compensate many passengers and pay a hefty sum to examine the plane."

"I’m sure your boss would be much happier if you thought twice before speaking.” Darius lazily opened his eyes, then stood and adjusted his suit.

The manager fell silent by then.

He had always been proud of his height, but it now seemed inferior before Darius.

In fact, Darius’ presence brought about an uncompromising aura that the manager could never have.

The manager locked eyes with Darius, replying, “So why on earth would you do something that doesn't benefit you and could cause losses for my workplace?"

Ascoff came from Darius, who sneered and said,

"You said it yourself-this situation won't benefit either of us. Thus, I'm only claiming there's something wrong because it's the truth."
