The Consortium's Heir Chapter 183
Darius kept his eyes trained on Ward so he caught the resolution in his eyes. He didn’t say anything else and merely looked into Ward’s eyes.Ward was uncomfortable with the way Darius was watching him. His gaze was filled with helplessness and disappointment. However, he didn’t have a choice.He figured that since Darius had already tracked down his family, he was probably already privy to much information. So, he allowed himself to drop the mask of anger as he looked at Darius, revealing his guilt and regret.Darius didn’t know what was happening, but he could hear the officials’ custom-made leather shoes tapping against the floor. He looked at Ward with a poker face and said, “Professor Plinsky, they’re coming, and I’ll go with them.”Ward stared at his favorite student. As he watched Darius leave, he knew that this was the end of their relationship.Darius could sense that Ward still had plenty to say to him. So, he walked slowly. He told himself to give Ward one last chance—if Ward had

Darius nodded. This was the best option he had right now.When the official saw that he didn’t mind, he finally felt at ease. He now knew how wealthy Darius really was, and it wasn’t something that he could even begin to imagine. However, because of his job, he had no choice but to treat Darius like this, despite his reluctance.Under such circumstances, it would be hard to prevent Darius’ impression of him from turning sour and, in turn, taking action to vent his frustrations. The official couldn’t think of any way to make this situation better.Soon, however, something worse occurred to him. Judging from Darius’ attitude, it would piss him off even more, and it wasn’t something the official wanted to see. He started feeling anxious again, but there were no other alternatives. If he were to keep this from Darius, it would probably only make him angrier. He kept shifting around, and both Darius and Ward noticed this.Ward looked apologetic again. “I’m sorry about this mess. There’s somethi

The official couldn’t help but tremble. He’d been watching Darius closely, but he still didn’t manage to catch what exactly he’d done. Now, all he could see was Darius holding two fingers up and his colleague sprawled on the floor. He knew that he didn’t have a choice.His hands trembled as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs, which made them jingle. He reached out to put them on Darius but couldn’t even bring himself to look at him. He held the handcuffs out for a while, but Darius didn’t show any sign of moving. His hands were still in his pockets, and he looked at the official with displeasure.The official knew this, and his mind started to race. He had to think of a way to resolve this as soon as possible without offending anyone. Otherwise, he would probably end up worse off than his colleague. This wasn’t a consequence he could bear.So, he tucked the handcuffs away and looked at Darius, deciding to appease him. “Darius Reid, you’re very smart, and you should know what the right choi

That was why he needed to ensure his safety at all times. Everything else had to come after this. At the same time, he wanted to resolve this mess as quickly as possible. Therefore, he had to ensure his safety while being quick. His brain was already operating at peak capacity, but he still couldn’t devise a good plan. Soon, however, he would realize that he’d overestimated his opponent.It was only expected. No ordinary person would imagine that their opponent was wealthy, powerful, yet obnoxious and arrogant.Things happened while he was still sleeping. He was resting when he heard the sound of several footsteps approaching. A voice rang out amidst the footsteps, and it belonged to Donny. “You might be wealthy, but the detention center isn’t a place where you can come and go as you please. It’s a right that’s been granted to us by the federation.”Then, Darius heard laughter. It came from someone who sounded young and probably wealthy, judging from the words he uttered next. “The fact t

They whipped their weapons out and aimed them at Darius.Unfortunately for them, he was an awakened martial artist. Before they even moved, he already knew what they would do. So, he dropped to the floor, still maintaining his grip on Hank’s neck, bringing him down with him. Darius quickly moved toward the bodyguards, forcing Hank to move with him.Darius could sense that Hank was running out of oxygen. It wasn’t the result he wanted, but he was fine with it either way.On the other hand, Hank knew what Darius was up to now. He wanted to tell his bodyguards to stop, but he couldn’t. When they came to a stop, his eyesight was blurry. However, he could still see that his bodyguards were already down. Only then did he realize that he couldn’t even begin comprehending Darius’ true abilities.The fact that Darius could do this showed how powerful and wealthy the force behind him was. It was definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the Gillette family. It wasn’t a secret, and almost everyone else wa
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 188
By the time Darius realized they’d been circled, the men had already gotten out of the cars, and Hank was in the lead. He had to be held up by people on both sides to stand. There was dried blood on his face, and his eyes were red with fury.This was Erin’s second time encountering something like this, and she wasn’t as nervous as the first time. Her breathing sped up, but she quickly calmed down. She turned to look at Darius. “Mr. Reid, what should we do now?”Darius pressed his fingers to his temple. Hank was the stupidest guy he’d ever met and was a waste of space. So, when he put down his hand and opened his eyes, all one could see was his frosty gaze.Erin knew the frostiness wasn’t directed at her, but she still shuddered. When Darius spoke, it made her tremble even more. He paused and looked at her but quickly averted his gaze. “You only need to do two things right now. Firstly, inform the university that I’ll be gone for a month. Secondly, get me a ticket to Almiron City.”Erin sta

Hank was already starting to regret it, but no one was left to protect him except for two bodyguards. So, he grabbed them by the wrists and pushed them forward. “You two, beat him up! You’re only allowed to stop when he’s on the ground, or I’ll hold you two responsible for this! And if you don’t buy me enough time to escape, I’ll…”He didn’t get to finish his sentence and stood there, mouth agape and eyes wide. Darius had suddenly appeared before him, and he was terrified. As far as he knew, no normal human could move at such a speed. Now, however, he was proven wrong. A scene he’d never even imagined had happened before his very eyes. This was beyond his understanding, and he was fearful.He turned to look at Darius, lips trembling. He stammered out, “W-what are you doing?” Obviously, he was terrified, but Darius didn’t intend to let him off the hook.The two bodyguards were dumbstruck. Darius was like a gust of wind. He’d disappeared before their very eyes and reappeared behind them. Th

This was Darius’ first time actually harnessing this energy and trying to make it reach someone’s exact location. Naturally, he failed, and the energy landed on the car next to the martial artist, making it explode. Once again, the tar was blown to smithereens.There was a flash of panic in the martial artist’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. His gaze turned disdainful as he looked at Darius. “Your energy’s powerful, but the fact that you can’t control it means it’s basically useless to you.” As he spoke, his body seemed to waver.Darius sensed the martial artist appearing before him, but something weird happened in the process—he could clearly see every single action the martial artist made, including how he came over. Another thing that surprised him was that everything around him seemed to happen in slow motion when the energy flowed through him. This accidental discovery was a good one, and it made him smile uncontrollably.The martial artist thought he was mocking him and scowled.

"If you hadn't picked on me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. No matter how wealthy I've become, I'll never be able to take these black robes off!" The mysterious man's voice was shaky. He was extremely agitated.James frowned at that. He said curiously, "You keep saying I've done you wrong, but everything I did to you was what you did to others. I only gave you a taste of your own medicine."The mysterious man's breathing sped up when he heard that. He barked out a laugh and sneered, "I'll be honest with you. I never thought I'd have the chance to meet someone as dumb as you again."He shook his head. "I find it hard to imagine what your grandson will do when he sees you like this." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. The man was caught off guard. He looked at Darius as his body trembled violently.Darius frowned when he saw this. It was completely different from what he'd imagined. He narrowed his eyes at the mysterious man, his

Gabriel smiled and nodded. "Alright, then. I'll return to my workstation and prepare a proposal on what to do with Noah."Darius nodded and smiled. "Good. That's all I ever wanted." He turned to leave. "You need to get to work, and I need to return to my hotel to get some rest."Gabriel stopped. Darius' words made him hesitate. "I'm sorry to be asking this because I don't think it's my place, but it's probably better for me to ask anyway. I don't remember there being any hotels nearby."You should head home if you wanna get some rest. I don't understand why you're heading to a hotel to rest."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He turned with his hands behind his back to look at Gabriel helplessly. "I don't know how to feel about what you've just said. You're making me think you're a little silly. Wouldn't I know how to search for a hotel?"It won't take you long to prepare a proposal, but it'll take me ages to get home from here." Darius turned and left.Gabriel's lips twitc

"Because you realized the risk was far greater than what you were comfortable with," Darius said calmly.But Noah started trembling. He looked at Darius in terror. He didn't expect Darius to see right through him after some simple back-and-forth. His eyes widened in fear.Everything that was happening now made him feel like he was dreaming. Noah had only been a step away from success, yet Darius had ruined everything.Tears filled his eyes as he gazed at Darius. "I've said everything there is to say. I'm the lowest rung on this ladder, and I only have one purpose for being here. It's to make you come under the authorities' control. Once you're here, my mission's accomplished."Someone else from the authorities will be here to deal with you, but that has nothing to do with me. They wouldn't have told me about it, anyway."Darius put his hands behind his back without saying anything. He turned to leave. Noah's eyes widened as he stared in fear at Darius' back.Darius didn't see this, bu

When Darius straightened up, his face became devoid of emotion. He said calmly, "I've wasted too much time on you. Now, I only want frank answers. Otherwise, I'll punish you for every lie that you tell me. I don't see any hope in your eyes, but let's see whether you prove me wrong."Darius paused, then continued, "I've already said something similar once. That was a chance I gave you. From this moment onward, I want you to know that I won't repeat myself because I believe you've had enough time to prepare yourself."Gabriel stood beside him and put his hands behind his back as his lips twitched. He'd thought about the various reasons for Darius repeating himself. But the one thing that hadn't occurred to him was that Darius had done it to give Noah time to prepare.Gabriel felt like applauding Darius, but the rational side of him stopped him from doing so. His rationality told him he'd be in for trouble if he were to do that, so he only looked at Darius with a smile.Darius sensed Ga

Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then, he said, "You're too nervous, Gabriel. It makes it seem like you don't trust me. In truth, there's nothing for you to worry about."He stretched his neck and continued, "I know very well how bad the consequences of destroying this building will be. Aside from those silly regulations, I'll also need to pay for it. I might be wealthy, but that doesn't mean I'll enjoy forking out a huge sum of money as compensation."Darius spread his hands and shrugged. At the same time, he pointed at the window and turned to look at Gabriel. Then, he said, "Look. The windows are perfectly fine. They're not even scratched. That shows my life force is non-destructive."That's why you have nothing to worry about. You can put your heart back into your chest."Gabriel straightened up and sighed in relief. Then, he gave Darius an embarrassed smile.Darius grinned but didn't say anything in response. He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at Noah. He sai

"We're classmates from the same major, too! We were interns at Dream Investment Group, remember? And we got kicked out on our first day. You broke my legs because of a tiny argument we had outside the building! The surveillance cameras captured all of this!" Noah cried.Darius tucked his hands into his pockets and rolled his eyes. Then, he said mockingly, "You're the biggest fool I've ever met. Do you think you're the only one who can tamper with the surveillance footage? Any footage that can be tampered with can also be restored."Noah's eyes widened in shock. He gulped and tried to think of a way to explain away the injuries Darius had inflicted on him. Still, he couldn't think of anything. Before he had the chance to think any further, Darius spoke.He said, "There's one thing you got right, though. Gabriel is on my side, so he'll stand up for me no matter what you say."Gabriel's lips twitched at that. He subconsciously opened his mouth to say something in return, but Darius bea

"And I don't think it's my job to make you see sense," Gabriel continued. He put his hands behind his back. He gave Noah a look that was an odd mixture of gentle iciness. "I've given you more than enough time and chances."Gabriel sighed. "It's obvious that you don't care for that, though. And so I think it's time for me to treat you as an officer should." He sat down on the other side of the desk again.Noah's face was white with fear. Gabriel acted like he didn't see this, though. He smiled. "As I mentioned, I gave you plenty of time and chances, but you didn't appreciate them."His gaze turned frosty. "If that's the case, I'm sure you won't object to me doing this per our guidelines."Noah cried, "No, wait! I don't know what Darius has promised you to make you side with him unconditionally, but there's no way I'll let you two get away with this. You have to make sure you do everything by the book. It's a reasonable request, and you have no right to turn me down!"He trembled viole

Gabriel put his hands behind his back as he looked at Noah with a smile. "Now, you've piqued my interest."Noah looked up at Gabriel. His voice was deep and hoarse as he said, "If you help me, I'll give you half of the Reid Consortium's assets once I get my hands on them. You should know that without me, there's no way you'll get a dime from the Reid Consortium."Gabriel snorted with laughter when he heard that. He straightened up and slowly circled Noah. He sounded mocking as he said, "You've lost me there. I tried to puzzle it out, but it doesn't make sense at all."Why would I want to get my hands on the Reid Consortium's fortune? Even without it, I'm perfectly independent. I don't need it to survive."Gabriel crossed his arms and looked at Noah mockingly. "Or maybe you're different from the rest of us. Maybe you'll die without the Reid Consortium's wealth." He smirked and gave Noah a sharp gaze.Noah raised an eyebrow and smirked. "You're the one making me laugh now. I don't know
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1153
Gabriel sounded gentle, but everyone knew that was far from the truth. This was especially true for Noah, who sat across from him. He felt incredibly nervous. He shut his eyes and breathed rapidly.Noah never would've expected to still be in danger after being taken in by the authorities. He frowned and looked up at Gabriel. "So, are you determined to help Darius now?" His voice was shaky, and his eyes were wide because of his nerves.His emotions were clear as he looked at Gabriel. Gabriel bit his lip, feeling like he was about to laugh. To stop Noah from noticing, he quickly exhaled and sat down with one leg over the other. At the same time, he leaned forward to place his hands on the desk.He tapped his fingers on the desk quickly but rhythmically. Gabriel's eyes were devoid of emotion as he looked at Noah. "Tell me, Noah. What happened between you and Darius? Earlier, you said he was the one who injured you. Do you have any proof?"Because we checked the surveillance footage, a
