'That's impossible!” the manager boomed, unintentionally attracting people's attention.

Flustered, he cleared his throat and waited for the right moment to explain, "Our airport's security

members are professionals. Every aircraft has a dedicated safety inspector, so our planes will never

falter. I bet you're someone with ulterior motives. You must have gotten hired by our competitors to

spread fake news!"

Darius glanced at the man from the control room and said, "I believe you guys can confirm whether I'm

telling the truth or not. I’ve already wasted plenty of time in this airport, which is a tremendous loss on

my part. So, I hope we can resolve this soon."

The man nodded. Although the two came to an agreement, they did not consider the manager's

feelings.

That caused the manager’s eyes to widen with rage, and he thundered, ” You guys are being

unreasonable! Our airport has nothing to do with the matter!”

He then scanned Darius from top to bottom before flashing a disdainful look.

"Look at you. Your clothes don't look like they’re worth much. Plus, I've never seen you before! I've

checked your ticket purchase records, and it seems you’ve never even bought a flight ticket from us

before today. You should know that our company is the best among all other airline companies. That's

why our prices are much higher than theirs. Therefore, it proves that you have never bought a ticket

from us before. Yet, you and your group suddenly bought expensive tickets from us today. I bet you got

paid by our rival companies and are trying to defame us."

The man from control room stood aside without speaking, but his eyes were on Darius, scrutinizing

him.

Darius felt his gaze shift upon hearing the manager’s words. He scoffed before responding, "It seems

your eyesight isn’t that good, despite you being an airline company's manager."

While saying that, he crossed one leg over the other, adding, "If you had good vision, you would know

the clothes I'm wearing, excluding any accessories, are worth more than your yearly salary."

The manager fell silent. He had to admit what Darius said was true.

Even so, something clicked in his mind after a few seconds. He placed his hands on his waist again

and spoke louder than before.

‘That's because the company you’re working for provided clothes for you! Since they gave you money

to purchase expensive tickets, they obviously had to get you a luxury outfit to match!"

Darius' laughter grew when he heard that. "If that's the case, then the clothes they gave me, including

all the accessories on my body, are worth far more than what they're paying me to defame you. I can

easily leave with all these luxury items and not do the task."

Erin stood behind Darius throughout the exchange, perplexity flickering in her eyes.

She mused, "Mr. Reid isn't normally a chatterbox, yet he's been talking more these two days. It may

seem like he’s in a good mood, but that’s definitely untrue. I don't know why he would do this. One

thing's clear, though, nothing good will happen if we continue to waste our time here."

Her brows drew close, but she ultimately decided to play along with him.

It was then that Darius' actions cleared her doubts. He waited until he saw someone approach before

saying, "I’m not a talkative man, but I'm willing to waste my time on you guys."

He interlaced his fingers, placed them on his lap, and then raised his chin at the manager.

That made the manager's cheeks flush. It was understandable since no one would like to hear they

were wasting others’ time. Hence, his eyes bore a hole into Darius.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't like it," Darius said, enunciating his words slowly as he turned to meet

the manager's gaze.

The manager blew up with rage again because of that. He stomped his foot and pointed at Darius,

seething, 'That! That look of yours makes you seem uncivilized! Like you received little education since

childhood! Your actions and words just now aren't anything like a wealthy person's. They're enough to

prove your current wealth doesn't come from you nor your family!"

After that, the manager felt smug, like he had discovered another world of problems.

He then glowered at Erin, adding, "And that woman beside you. She may try hard to act like your

secretary, but in reality, the two of you could be in a scandalous relationship! After all, her eyes have

been on you this whole time!"

Disdain filled his eyes when he uttered the last sentence.

Only then did Darius cast a normal glance at the manager. However, his tone came out frosty. "Are you

aware of your hateful gaze toward me now?"

"W-What the hell do you mean by that? Everyone can tell you two are a couple who are out to scam

people! There are many fraudsters like you in the world. There's no way I'll fall for your lies! Our airline

company will never compromise nor compensate you just because you're threatening us!” the manager

said.

Darius was still on the chair, flashing a grin at the manager, albeit one filled with mockery.

'There's this saying-a person with an ugly heart sees the world as being unsightly," Darius replied while

tucking his hands in his pockets, standing, and locking eyes with the manager. "Anyway, your words

have angered me. If you don't apologize now, I promise you'll regret your actions in the next ten

minutes."

It was then that the manager calmed down.

He had been focusing on Darius' case all this time. Darius never seemed nervous in his eyes.

However, he firmly believed his assumptions.

The manager was extra confident after seeing Erin blush when he assumed she and Darius were a

couple. To him, her reaction was evidence proving he was right.

It was evident that the manager had many opinions regarding the matter. Those were unknown to

Darius, nor did he want to know.
