Chapter 76
The students all sucked in a cold breath when they arrived at that conclusion. Such conclusion meant that Darius was even more impressive than they thought. It was very unnerving that such a brilliant figure was frolicking in the university as a poor and wretched fissure!
Darius on the other hand was still glaring at Luke with unbridled hostility. He didn‘t care a single bit about Luke‘s apology. He wasn‘t a saint or a martyr, so how was he supposed to forgive someone who came afterliis life? Il was simply an irreconcilable action!
He was also having a hard time believing that Luke was truly remorseful for his actions, Perhaps he was only willing to beg for lenjency because the protection of the Erihal Group would be nonexistent if the Erihal Group went under.
“I‘m sorry, but I cannot help you out. I have no idea who is behind the targeted actions toward the Erihal Group, therefore there‘s nothing I can do.” Darius said coldly.
Even though he was itching to beat up Luke, he reigned in his anger. He couldn‘t just attack Luke out here in the open, especially in front of his fellow students.
He was also being honest with his answer; and was even willing to go as far as put his differences with Luke aside that moment. Even if he had come to the conclusion that his grandfather was behind the bankruptcy of the Erihal Group, it was still a deduction. He couldn‘t really tell unless he spoke with his grandfather and confirmed his deduction.
“Please! I‘m sorry for my crimes! Please save my family!” Luke begged loudly. He had completely discarded his pride and humbled himself before Darius in front of the student body.
When Darius saw how sincere Luke‘s plea was, he had a complicated expression on his face. Even though he was feeling aggrieved and boiling with rage at Luke‘s attempt to take his life, he still had human empathy. Seeing Luke in such a miserable state made him feel a little bit sorry for him.
Darius however didn‘t reply to Luke‘s plea. He instead turned his back and started walking away from Luke. He still needed to confirm if his grandfather was the one behind their downfall before he decided on what to do next.
“Look at him. He looks so pathetic.” A student gossiped when they saw the pathetic state Luke was in.
“Hmph! Serves him right!” another student chimed in. She did not feel the tiniest bit of pity for Luke, not after reading through his crimes he committed on the internet. They were just too vile!
Luke raised his head from the floor and looked around. He saw that Darius had ignored him completely and left him there, completely disregarding his plea for mercy.
If his family wasn‘t in danger of bankruptcy, he wouldn‘t have to kneel before Darius for mercy.
In the end, it all boiled down to Darius. Darius was the one who was responsible for him and his family misfortune. As if to make matter worse, he had even set Luke up to be ridiculed by the rest of the student body!
Luke‘s pride and ego couldn‘t deal with such blatant display of disrespect. Since Darius had refused to help him and his family, he had nothing left to live for. With his family business going bankrupt and no one to protect him, he would spend majority of his years behind bars. It was an outcome he least desired.
There was a crazy glint in his eyes. All this had happened because Darius existed in the first place. If he didn‘t exist, then none of this would have happened, and he would still be on top of the world like before.
Since that was the case, it would be better to take care of Darius right then. As such, he fumbled in his pockets and brought out a knife before getting up from the ground and dashing towards Darius. He was aiming to kill Darius.
The students who were mocking Luke all let out frightened screams at his sudden action. Their screams reached Darius ears, and coupled with the foreboding he felt looming over him, he turned back in time to see Luke running with full speed at him with a knife in his hands!
