Chapter 184

Darius nodded. This was the best option he had right now.

When the official saw that he didn't mind, he finally felt at ease. He now knew how wealthy Darius really

was, and it wasn't something that he could even begin to imagine. However, because of his job, he had

no choice but to treat Darius like this, despite his reluctance.

Under such circumstances, it would be hard to prevent Darius’ impression of him from turning sour and,

in turn, taking action to vent his frustrations. The official couldn't think of any way to make this situation

better.

Soon, however, something worse occurred to him. Judging from Darius' attitude, it would piss him off

even more, and it wasn't something the official wanted to see. He started feeling anxious again, but

there were no other alternatives. If he were to keep this from Darius, it would probably only make him

angrier. He kept shifting around, and both Darius and Ward noticed this.

Ward looked apologetic again. "I’m sorry about this mess. There's something that's troubling you, isn't

there?"

The official's eyes widened. "God, Professor Plinsky, you got me. According to our guidelines, what

you've done is a serious matter with serious consequences. But I can't help sympathizing with you after

listening to your side of the story, which means I can't bring myself to handle this objectively. It's not

right for me to feel like this."

Ward shook his head. "No, you just need to do what you're supposed to. I, too, have to bear the

consequences of what I've done." Then, he turned to Darius and sighed. "I'm sure you know that I've

made a grievous mistake here. Now, I'm no longer a teacher and will never be in the future. I believe

you understand this is because of what I've done."

He turned to the official and said, "Darius Reid is the most outstanding student I've ever had, and you

can trust him as I do. He won’t seek revenge or make you pay the price for doing your job."

The official looked at Darius, who took a deep breath and nodded. "That's right. I won't blame you for

this and disrupt your job."

While they spoke, the car continued to drive along steadily. Soon, they arrived at their destination.

Darius opened the door and got out of the car, looking calm. It was as if he was getting out of his

Bugatti.

The officials stood behind him, and all four of them went into the building, after which Darius was

escorted to a room with a black door. He walked in and sat down under the bright lights. There was a

table in the room. He sat on one side while two other officials sat on the other. The tall, burly official that

had escorted him here didn't leave the room, though. He stood by the door and waved at the two

officials seated at the table.

They looked at him in confusion, then got up and walked out of the room, leaving Darius alone. As the

door was shut, he saw the official who'd brought him here dropping something on the floor. It was tiny

and didn't look like a phone, but Darius still walked over to it. He squatted and saw that it was a small

key that had been wrapped up in what looked like cotton wool. He put it into his pocket. He didn’t know

what it was for, but it definitely wasn't for him to break out of there.

Darius recalled what the official had said about locking him up in a place where he would be alone and

with a phone signal. This key probably had something to do with that. He had just returned to the table

and sat down when the door swung open. The two officials who'd sat across him came back in, not

looking too happy.

"Darius Reid, we've already looked into the matter. You were brought here to be given a final chance to

explain yourself. As one of Kingston University's top students, you should know what's the right thing to

do."

Darius now knew why the official who'd brought him here had left him that key-he probably knew

something was wrong. So, he stood up and straightened his clothes while nodding. "I was already

prepared for the possibility that you guys were not innocent from the moment I stepped in. And so, no

matter what you say, I'll admit to it. If you want to take me away, now’s the time."

The two officials shared a look and saw the anger in each other’s eyes. They turned to Darius, their

gazes turning hostile. "We thought you would’ve known what the right choice was, but it seems that we

were wrong. That's why we're going to teach you exactly the right choice to make under these

circumstances, and we're going to show you what you should and shouldn't do."

When Darius saw them take their shirts off and walk over to him, cracking their knuckles and smiling

menacingly, he knew what they would do. A hesitant expression crept onto his face, but after some

thought, he figured there was nothing to worry about with his wealth.

Therefore, he got to his feet and dodged one of the official's attacks with a quick sidestep. Then, he

took the opportunity to land a kick on his back, which sent him sprawling onto the floor. A crisp sound

rang out. Darius knew his bones were broken and looked at the guy mockingly.

"You're pretty bad at this. I’d be worried if all you officials were like this." Then, he turned to look at the

other official. He was in an offensive stance but hadn't made his move because of his horror.

Darius said, "You have two options-either you take me to where I'm supposed to be, or you can end up

sprawled on the ground like your colleague."
