Besides, I don't want to, nor will I, allow them to live. After all, their recent schemes involve recruiting

children to scam other families, which I can’t tolerate." While saying that, Shevin boldly looked into

Darius' eyes. "I believe you're also aware of these things. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have acted against

them."

Darius' gaze bore into him as he nodded. "I've said many things to you today, and it's significantly more

than my usual conversations with my secretary. Among everything we discussed, your last assumption

is the most accurate. It's what I like to hear. Thus, from this point on until the plane lands, I want you to

shut up unless you're uttering facts. That way, I might stay in a good mood and allow you to leave this

plane alive."

Meanwhile, the captain had been on the ground in the row ahead, his fingers roaming over Kate's

head.

After Shelvin and Darius' conversation dwindled, the captain meekly reported to Darius, "Kate's not

doing so good. She has suffered trauma to her head, but I'm unqualified to give her a proper diagnosis

or treat her. I’ll need to make an in-flight announcement to see if we have a doctor on board. I hope this

matter won't affect your mood, sir."

Darius found the captain, who stared at him timidly, amusing as it was not his intention to be

frightening. Plus, he did not think he was a scary person. Nevertheless, he kept silent, shut his eyes,

and nodded.

Seeing the former behave like usual, the captain heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest while

leaving to make the announcement.

Darius massaged his temples. Suddenly, he changed his mind when the captain was about to depart

the first-class cabin. He called out, "Wait."

The captain halted in his step.

While he feared Darius, he was equally terrified of his ruthless boss, Kate's father, William Anderson.

Kate was William's only daughter. Although William had many lovers, no one could deny he deeply

cared for and loved Kate.

That was why the captain stiffened, unable to relax or return his hands to his sides. He stood frozen on

the spot, visualizing how he would get fired after all this was over. It was also then that he snapped out

of that thought, realizing there was no guarantee he could leave the company alive if he were to upset

William. Hence, he exhaled shakily, his arms flopping limply against his sides as he turned to Darius.

"Sir, is there anything else you need? Kate's situation is pretty urgent."

Darius could tell the former was nervous, so he did not respond rudely. Instead, he stood and pointed

at Kate, stating, "There's no need for the announcement. I have my ways of resolving this matter."

The captain was taken aback, his eyes widening at Darius while his jaw fell open. All words failed him

in that instant. While he pondered how to react, he saw Darius approach Kate and knelt to rest a hand

on her head.

It looked like a scene straight out of a romance movie if not for Darius touching Kate's wound. Seeing

that, the guard could not stand by and watch. He yelled, "Please let go of Kate, Darius! Everyone on

this plane might not survive if anything happens to her."

Darius' eyes clamped shut, feeling irritated by the former's loudness.

Erin instantly noticed that and understood how Darius felt. She whipped her head around, shooting a

glare at the captain. She raised a dismissive hand while saying, "Are you aware of how irritating you

are when you talk? If I were you. I'd shut up at once and refrain from saying anything else. The lives of

everyone here depend on my boss' actions now, so your current behavior isn't helping!"

The captain parted his lips, then shut them. In the end, there was nothing he could do but lower his

head, his gaze downcast. However, that did not mean he was betraying his pledge to protect William's

daughter. It was because he could not refute Erin, who spoke the truth.

Only after the captain fell silent did Darius' eyes open. Regardless of how he felt, the warm gas in his

belly continued to pour out of his palms, seeping into Kate's head injury, then entering her brain.

Then, something shocking happened.

Kate's injury was speedily mending itself before everyone's eyes. Her face, pallid due to the wound

earlier, now regained some color.

That sight was baffling to everyone there, including Erin and Bridget.

However, the two were quick to snap out of their dazes as they had both received professional training

to qualify to be beside Darius. They met each other's gazes before speedily turning their backs to each

other, blocking off Darius and Kate from anyone else's view.

The two scanned the crowd with eyes that resembled lethal laser beams. Because of that, no one

dared to look at them. Other passengers lowered their heads to avoid eye contact, used their phones,

or pretended to be asleep.

Darius knew what the two women were doing. His lips curved upward, pleased with their actions.

That continued for about three minutes before Kate's injury fully recovered.

That was when Kate opened her eyes and noticed how close Darius was. Her head was practically

leaning against his firm abs, so her cheeks turned bright pink in seconds. She struggled to sit upright

but could not. It was then that she realized her entire body was leaning against him for support.

Kate wanted to ask Darius what was happening. However, she was too flustered to speak after

realizing her intimate position. She could only sit there, gawking like a fool at Darius as though her eyes

were about to pop out.

Her reaction amused Darius so much that he let out an airy chuckle.
