Chapter 107

The ride back to the Reid mansion was smooth and uneventful. Both Bruce and Darius remained silent

for the entirety of the journey. The reason was because he had nothing to say to Darius, and moreover,

he could see that Darius didn’t want to be disturbed at all; therefore he chose to remain quiet.

Darius didn’t notice Bruce stealing occasional glances at him. He was far too deep in his thoughts at the

moment.

The assailant that attacked him was not a citizen of S country, so did this mean that his enemy was a

foreigner? And if the enemy was actually a foreigner, how then was he able to spread his roots in S

country?

Furthermore, the motive behind the attack was still unknown by Darius. His grandfather had only warned

him about his safety prior to the attack, but didn’t mention anything about the motive behind their attack.

He found it hard to believe that anyone would go ahead and try to hurt him brazenly despite his identity

as the heir and current head of the Reid consortium, but his assailant had done just that.

There were only two reasons that he could think of. Either they were ignorant of his identity as the head

of the Reid consortium, or they believed that they were capable of withstanding the Reid consortium’s

retaliation in S country.

Darius didn’t know which of the options the reason for their attack was, and this put him in a dilemma

He sighed deeply. In the end they were all his speculations, so they couldn’t be proven to be true at the

moment. Therefore, he pushed the thoughts about the assailants to the back of his mind. There was no

use thinking about it now, so instead, he shifted his thoughts to the fight with the assailant.

He could feel that his body was currently very different from how it used to be before. He couldn’t tell

what changes had occurred in his body, but he was sure that it was certainly for the better.

During the fight, even after sustaining injuries from the assailant, he could tell that it didn’t hamper his

fighting abilities at all. This was because his injuries began healing themselves on their own!

Darius had no idea that this was because of the golden liquid his grandfather gave him. The golden liquid

was very mysterious and extraordinary, but it was indeed very powerful.

Not only did it heal all of Darius’ injuries when he was severely injured, it strengthened his body greatly.

Yet, it seemed that that wasn’t all it could do. It had managed to imbue Darius with a self healing trait! 1

This meant that Darius would be able to heal from any injury no matter how severe it was. Naturally, this

also included toxins, poisons, and dangerous gases. It basically made Darius’ body immune to such

impurities.

Darius was too focused on the fight with his assailant to notice that the injuries that were inflicted on him

were actually healing themselves on their own, otherwise he would have screamed from shock.

He didn’t realize he was injury-free until the end of the battle, when he had defeated the attacker. He

vividly remembered the assailant’s powerful attack breaking his rib, so it seemed strange at the time, but

later, when he checked his rib, he found it to be in perfect condition. In the end, he chalked up the self

healing trait to the strange feeling he had in his body. Since both of them occurred at the same time, he

figured out that they were of the same cause,

After more than two hours of driving, the Bentley finally arrived at the regal and imperial Reid mansion

Darius and Bruce both alighted from the Bentley and walked towards the luxurious Reid mansion.

“Young master Reid; your grandfather is waiting for you in his study room.” Bruce said politely.

Darius nodded his head and started walking towards the familiar study room. When he got there, he

knocked twice on the door, and then opened the door without waiting for his grandfather’s response.

When he entered the room, he saw that there was already another person in the room. It was a man who

looked to be in his late thirties. He looked at the person briefly but had no recollection of the person in

the study room. However, for him to meet with his grandfather personally, he knew he had to be

someone very influential.

He didn’t think too much about it so he shifted his gaze back to his grandfather.

“Grandfather. I have arrived.” Darius greeted warmly.

His grandfather gave the visitor in his room a meaningful stare and then stood up to welcome his

grandson.

“Welcome, Darius.” His grandfather said pleasantly.

The visitor in his late thirties naturally understood the meaning behind the stare and stood up profoundly

“Mr. James, I’ll be taking my leave now. I hope to meet you later. We haven’t finished with our discussion

after all.” The man said meaningfully.

‘Yes of course. We will continue the discussion later.” His grandfather replied indifferently.

The visitor didn’t say anything at that moment and walked towards the door. Just as he was about to exit

the study room, he took one last look at Darius. Darius turned back at that moment and caught him

staring at him.

The visitor had an indecipherable gaze in his eyes, but the moment their eyes locked with each other, he

quickly masked the gaze in his eyes and appeared coolly under Darius questioning gaze.

Darius could feel something from the man, but he couldn’t place what it was. Just as he was about to

speak out, the visitor exited the study room and closed the door.

“Have a seat Darius.” His grandfather said, pulling Darius’ attention from the visitor who was left.

“Grandfather, who was that?” Darius asked as he took his seat.

“Nobody important.” His grandfather replied vaguely while avoiding Darius’ gaze.

Darius stared at his grandfather intently at his response. He could tell that his grandfather was hiding

something from him.

“Why? Is something wrong?” His grandfather asked pointedly. “No. It’s nothing serious.“ Darius answered

apathetically.

He sighed quietly. Since his grandfather felt the need to hide it from him, there was no need for him to

think deeply about it. He had many things on his mind to worry about anyways. Whenever his

grandfather was ready to tell him, he would then find out.

“Are you alright, Darius?” His grandfather asked concernedly when he saw that Darius wasn’t thinking

too much about the visitor from earlier.

“Yes l’am.” Darlus replied warmly.

The two of them then discussed for a long time. By the time they were done discussing, It was already

late morning

“You should go back and rest now. It’s great that you are alright.” His grandfather suggested.

Darius nodded in affirmation. He was indeed very worn-out. He had stayed up late yesterday working on

the reports that Erin sent to him. When he finally finished and wanted to retire for the night, he was

attacked.

After successful defeating the attacker, the police officers arrived and took him to the police station to get

his statement. This made him to spend two stressful hours at the police station, after which he was

driven straight to the Reid mansion, which led to the situation now.

It was safe to say that he hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep for the past 24 hours. He dismissed himself from

his grandfather’s study room and went to his room. He stumbled onto his king-sized bed out of

exhaustion. A little while later, he was sound asleep.
