Almost instinctively, Benji wanted to deny this. He'd already opened his mouth to speak, but Darius
beat him to it.
"Look, there’s no need for you two to act this way because Calypso won't make it out of this alive. I
won't allow someone who's plotted against me repeatedly and wants to use me to achieve her hidden
agenda to remain in this world." His tone was devoid of warmth.
Benji frowned, feeling slightly anxious, but he didn't dare to do anything too out of place because of
Darius' abilities. He took a deep breath before saying seriously, "I can apologize to you on her behalf.”
Before he could continue, Calypso cut him off shrilly. "Benji Anderson, that's enough! I don't need you
to put up such an act in front of me. Anyway, it's obvious that you two have your own issues to work
out, so stop dragging me into your mess!"
Benji was shocked at her words, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that once there was
a misunderstanding between two people, it wouldn't be an easy feat to resolve it. In the end, he looked
at Darius again, wanting to give it one last shot.
However, he didn't expect that Darius wouldn't even allow him the chance to speak.
Before he could say anything, Darius had already turned to leave. To Kate, Darius had always been
steady and calm. This was her first time seeing him move so quickly, and her heart started to race.
She couldn't watch him leave without doing anything, so she ran after him, stopping only when he did.
She wanted to ask him what was happening and whether he needed her help, but she could only gasp
for breath when she opened her mouth. Darius had heard her running after him, so he glanced at her
and patted her on the back when he saw her coughing from the cold air.
"You can return to your room. Your fiance will be here at any moment."
Kate stiffened, then slowly straightened up and gazed into the distance. A few seconds later, a few cars
appeared in her line of sight. Darius thought she cared about her fiance a lot, which explained why
she'd dropped everything at the mention of his name.
However, he immediately changed his mind when he felt her tug on his sleeve-something she'd never
done before. He turned to look at her questioningly, then saw the fear and pleading in her eyes.
"What's happened? Why are you looking at me like that?” Kate slowly calmed down as she listened to
his steady voice. She took a few deep breaths, then said, "I hate him. Almost every time we saw each
other, he’d find a reason to lay a hand on me. It's been that way for the past two decades."
This was out of Darius’ expectations, and his expression froze. He wanted to ask her for more
information to better understand the situation, but they were out of time. The cars were only fifty yards
away from them.
Kate started trembling, and he could feel how stiff she was. She probably didn't even realize she was
doing it.
He reached out and tugged her hand away from his sleeve, noticing that she was becoming stiffer by
the second. He sighed and said, "Don't overthink things. Whatever you're imagining right now won't
happen, so go to your room. Wilson will protect you."
Kate looked at Wilson doubtfully, but she didn't have the time to hesitate. She gritted her teeth and
headed into the villa.
Calypso frowned. The situation was different from what the guy who'd come to her had described, and
her doubt peaked when Kate successfully went into the villa. She couldn't stand still, so she
subconsciously lifted her hands to do something. She quickly stopped herself before putting her hands
back down, not making a sound in the process because she knew both the guy who'd sought her out
and Wilson were of the same nature-she couldn't afford to offend either of them.
At this thought, her heart started to race. Everything that had happened since Wilson's appearance
replayed in her mind like a movie, and she scrutinized it, not wanting to miss a single detail. Then, she
paled. Perhaps it had been a mistake for her to come here in the first place-how Wilson treated Darius
was different from how he treated everyone else.
Moreover, Wilson tried explaining something to them but stopped after glancing at Darius. This meant
that Darius was someone who could control Wilson; no one had the power to do this in Almiron City,
not for the past few decades.
Calypso's eyes started darting around, but she dispelled these thoughts after a few seconds. This was
because she saw Kate's fiance, Holt, break into a smile the moment he got out of the car. His smile and
words were enough to make Calypso relax. In fact, she looked at Darius with contempt.
Holt immediately saw Darius when he got out of the car. Then, he smiled and said, “I didn't expect the
man having inappropriate relations with my fiancee to be the infamous pauper from my university!"
Darius met Holt's gaze, some memories surfacing in his mind at Holt's voice.
