Chapter 204
All the woman could do was get up and bow deeply at Darius. "I''m deeply sorry. This was my fault. I''m
willing to pay any price to alleviate your anger and not get punished by you."
The manager had already gotten apprehended by that point.
Meanwhile, the man from control room stood aside and watched the events unfold without reacting.
Curiosity flickered in Darius'' eyes as he watched the two people. It was his first time encountering such
a situation.
The woman could tell he was curious and quickly exined, ‘These two have worked at our airport for
many years, and they''re very knowledgeable about the airport''s ins and outs."
"Don''t trust that woman, Darius!" the manager yelled without thinking twice. He was furious after being
held down for some time.
That interrupted the turning cogs in Darius''s brain, causing him to frown and focus on the pallid
manager.
Having caught Darius'' attention, the manager announced, "I may not know who you are, but I''m sure
you''re the person that woman once mentioned. She previously told me about a family that reunited with
their male heir.
Her exact words were, ‘They likely dug him up from the trash cans of society. I bet he can''t handle
those responsibilities from the different environment he grew up in.”
Something dark and sinister tainted the woman''s eyes just then.
There was no change in Darius’ expression, but he examined the reactions of everyone at the scene in
detail, including the control room personnel''s amused looks. He eventually saw the woman ncing at
one of the airport''s corners, causing security toe over and take the manager away.
Darius looked at the two tall, burly security guards before raising a hand to stop their actions.
"Please hang on. I''d like to hear what the manager has to say next."
The woman''s face darkened as she bobbed her head. “Why would you listen to him? There’s no telling
if we can trust his words.”
"You''re the most talkative woman to ever speak to me," Darius said." Perhaps you''re unaware, but that
is a trait I hate the most."
It was like an invisible pair of hands were choking the woman right then. She could not utter even a
squeak, her face increasingly warping with worry. Desperate, she shot an instructive look at the two
security guards.
“Edward, Bridget," said Darius while he held his throbbing temple. “Remove those two security guards
from my sight. Now."
His bodyguards had already taken action once they heard him speak.
Thus, before the woman’s security guards could say anything or react to the situation, Edward and
Bridget pinned them to the ground.
The two guards’ arms got forcefully pressed against their backs. It hurt so much that they could not
help crying out.
Those pained groans instantly put Darius in a bad mood. He frowned while waving his hand, to which
Edwardplied by taking the two security guards away.
In the meantime, darkness shrouded the woman''s features as she never expected Darius to put her in
such a humiliating position.
Darius then looked at the manager, stating, "I dislike you, but I feel what you''re saying is the truth. You
may continue talking if you''re able to recall anything more.”
The manager fell into a dumbfounded stupor. It took some time before he said,
‘There''s more I wish to say, but sadly, there''s not much else I can rat out to you."
Ancod came from Darius. He then shifted his focus toward the woman. “Is there anything you wish to
say in response to his words?"
At that moment, the woman''s eyes darted around frantically.
That made it apparent to Darius that she wasing up with more lies to tell him.
However, Darius was in no rush to call her out. He merely shut his eyes, wanting to see what other lies
the woman would use to exin herself.
All of that went unnoticed by the woman, who anxiously rified, "Mr. Reid, no matter what, please
don''t believe what he’s saying! That guy has lost his mind now that I chose to punish him for his
rudeness."
Darius snorted. Only a contemptuous sneer showed on his face.
"And here I assumed you''d stand by your beliefs until the end. I never thought you''d turn out to be the
same as everyone else."
He stood while adding, “Don''t worry. I won''t mess with this airlinepany for now."
He turned toward Erin and instructed, "Reach out to the airport''s official management. I intend to
contract all flights for the next 50 years, including those fortraveling passengers."
Erin''s eyes lit up upon hearing those words. She nearly jumped onto her feet from excitement but did
not. Still, her cheeks turned bright red as she eximed,"
That''s a great project, Mr. Reid! It never crossed my mind that we could operate this way. Rest
assured. I''ll head to West
Antics Int’l to do so right away.”
Just as she turned on her heel, she noticed therge crowd rushing into the airport''s hall with their
luggage in tow. That instantly snapped her to her senses.
She shed an apologetic smile at Darius, saying, “Mr. Reid, I don''t think I can execute that task now
as I still have to apany you abroad."

Darius nodded understanding’.
Contrarily, the woman standing aside blew up with rage. She mocked," Don''t you two know what
ridiculous things you''re saying now?"
Hearing that, Darius and Erin stopped speaking, shifting their piercing gazes onto the woman.
Even so, the woman was unfazed. Instead, the taunting smirk on her face curved even more as she
boldly borated,
“Airline flights are crazy expensive, and they''ve always been under the government''s control. Acquiring
an entire airline''s flights isn''t impossible, but you guys will never have the money to do it."
Darius locked eyes with Erin. "As of now, every cent her airlinepany earns is equivalent to your
duty in appeasing me. I’m sure you understand what I mean."
Erin instantly nodded. She then whipped out herptop, her fingers furiously typing on the keyboard,
letting out several clicks and cks.
Darius said nothing more. He just sat down on the bench.
Meanwhile, the man from the control room should have left by then, but he did not. It was because he
wanted to know how things would end.
Thus, he watched Darius’ every move.
Although there was nothing hostile in his gaze, it still made Darius feel ufortable.
