They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 636

Chapter 637: Love is Unpredictable

Darius did as he was told, casually crossing his legs, while Carl took a seat opposite them.

"You left so early this morning that I didn’t get the chance to ask about the trouble you ran into," Carl began, his tone calm, measured.

Arthur scoffed from the side, not surprised that Darius ran into trouble again.

Darius shot Arthur a glance but didn’t address the scorn. "Actually, it’s nothing, Carl. I can handle it," he reassured him, trying to sound confident.

"It didn’t sound that way when I called you," Carl pointed out gently, his voice steady but carrying just enough weight to make Darius pause.

"Yes... because it wasn’t then. But it is now. Trust me, everything’s fine," Darius replied, forcing a casual tone.

"Okay, if you say so," Carl finally let it go, nodding.

"You mentioned you needed a strategy consultant," Darius brought up, leaning back slightly. His curiosity was piqued.

"Oh, that," Carl nodded. He leaned forward, hands folded over the table, while Arthur stayed absorbed in his phone. "What I’m about to tell you," Carl began carefully, "is confidential. I need you to promise me you won’t reveal it to anyone."

"Confidential?" Darius raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"I can’t promise that without knowing what it is," he added, teasing lightly. "Is it something bad? Are you joining the bad guys?"

Darius smirked at Carl, expecting a reaction.

Carl, however, didn’t indulge him. He continued, voice calm and gentle, as if Darius’ teasing hadn’t even existed, letting the weight of the moment settle in.

"We need your help. It’s not something immoral, you know us better than that."

Darius paused, studying Carl’s calm expression. He did know them better than that, and that was the only reason he hadn’t walked out yet.

"Fine," he sighed, leaning back with a touch of theatrics. "I hope I don’t regret this."

But Carl shook his head, voice steady. "Are you sure you want to be involved? This isn’t something you can unhear once it’s said."
