Chapter 224
Edward looked into his eyes and found that Lyon meant what he said. He believed that he had the ability to turn his words into reality. So, he narrowed his eyes. He could not understand this, but he didn't say anything. He merely looked at Darius.
Only when Darius nodded did he turn his cold gaze onto Lyon. Before anyone realized what was going on, he flicked his wrist and snapped Lyon's bone, making him let out an anguished cry.
Darius stretched his neck and looked at Viktor. "I know that everything that's happened today will make your life difficult. If you need me to break your arm as well, I'll be glad to be of service."
The blood drained from Viktor'’s face. He had yet to recover from his last bout of terror, so he remained rooted to the spot, trembling uncontrollably. His jaw went slack, but he didn't say a word.
When Darius saw him like this, he chuckled and said mockingly, "This guy's essentially the same as Lyon. In fact, he's worse. At the very least, Lyon has the guts to own up to the things he’s done, and it’s easy to see that he has no concept of right and wrong. This guy, however, knows very well that what he's doing is wrong, but he continues to do it anyway."
Viktor could sense the menace in Darius’ gaze and tried his best to move. He dropped to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed with his forehead landing on the ground with loud thuds. "Please, let me go." His voice was shaky, but he didn't stop talking.
"Even if you don't, Lyon's family won't. You don't need to dirty your hands dealing with someone like me. It’ll just alert the authorities, and you'll be punished."
He looked sincere-as if he didn’t want them to get into trouble. Darius didn't believe him for a second. Instead of saying anything, he walked into the hotel. Except for the receptionist, the employees had all gone into hiding because of the ruckus outside. He walked over to the front desk and put Erin's phone on the counter.
When he looked at the receptionist, he saw her trembling all over. He sighed and said,
"There's no need to be afraid of me. I'm not here to rob you. In fact, I assure you that we booked rooms here through proper procedures, and now we're here to check in. The only thing your emotions prove is that you're not a very professional receptionist." He looked her in the eye.
The receptionist's eyes were big and bright, and she had long lashes. Her blond hair, fair skin, white teeth, and red lips made her look like a perfect Barbie doll. However, when she heard Darius' words, she became an angry rag doll.
