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.
