The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1005
Hansley gulped, looking helpless. "I know you won't believe me even if I say this, but I swear I'm telling the truth." He exhaled heavily and looked at Darius woefully. "I don't know why you refuse to believe me, Darius. I've basically poured my heart out to you, yet you've chosen not to trust me. I don't know what you think of me, nor do I know what else I can say. What else do you want to know? I don't have anything else to tell you, and I've lost everything."Hansley's eyes turned red as he looked Darius in the eye. "Yes, I did strike a deal with those nefarious characters, but only because I wanted you and my son to live comfortably for the rest of your lives! I didn't have any other choice!"Darius scoffed at this. He knew the truth was far from what Hansley had said. "I genuinely have no idea what you expect me to say in response. I thought I'd made myself clear." He tucked his hands into his pockets and shook his head. "I don't think there's any need for us to talk anymore." H

As for Darius himself, he'd removed his disguise while on the way to the hospital. After all, it wasn't necessary anymore. The other party already had everything in place and had appeared before him to set the plan in motion, waiting for him to walk into their trap. Since they'd already gone that far, Darius figured there was no reason for him to ruin their plans. He breathed deeply and smiled, then headed into the hospital calmly.To be honest, Darius had been surprised to see Hansley in the hospital, and unconscious, too. He hadn't lied to Hansley about his phone number being mentioned on Hansley's phone screen—that was genuine. It was just that Darius hadn't shown up at the hospital because someone had called him.Darius figured whoever was behind Hansley probably no longer trusted him because of how many times he'd slipped up so far. This thought made Darius snort as he leaned back and crossed his arms. On the one hand, the person behind Hansley wanted to use him to get at Darius.
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1007
Even when he got to the end of the corridor, Darius could still hear the patient's breathing. However, as he turned the corner, he seemed to hear the patient's breathing change. It was almost as if he'd said something. Darius faltered for a second but didn't take this matter to heart. He continued looking around the hospital. There was something odd about it—it had a beautiful garden filled with various plants, but none of them were flowers. Also, everything in the hospital was white, including the instruments and equipment. This wasn't something one saw every day—there was something about this hospital that just made one feel off-color.It suddenly hit him—in regular hospitals, even if the patients all had different ailments, they still had different skin tones and complexions. They wouldn't all look deathly pale—even Hansley had looked like a corpse. In fact, all the patients in this hospital looked like corpses. It was extremely weird.With this thought in mind, Darius returned to

"Otherwise, it's just gonna expose the secrets you hide within these walls." Darius smiled mockingly.Hansley's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe Darius had actually discovered their secrets, especially when all he'd done was walk along the corridor and look around! He took a deep breath and tried to force out a smile. His hands balled into fists by his sides; hope welled in him. It was unfortunate that everything he'd said and done had resulted in him and Darius being on opposing sides. Even if he wanted to have a proper talk with Darius, he wouldn't have the chance to do so. Hansley bit his lip, then sighed. He looked at Darius and said, "Darius, you should get out of here while you can. I believe you still have plenty of things to deal with at your company.""Someone like him has a company?" one of the bodyguards blurted disdainfully. "He looks like he's broke! How could he possibly own a company? Are you working with him to lie to us, you piece of shit? After all, you two were alo

"He grew up in squalor and suddenly became wealthy overnight. Do you honestly think you can trust him?" said the bodyguard.Darius watched as all the bodyguards stared at him contemptuously. He put his hands in his pockets and sighed. Then, his gaze turned icy, making the bodyguards subconsciously shudder. "Before today, I was willing to play nice with you guys. Now, however, I see that it's only going to bring me disappointment. I was gonna live and let live, but it looks like you guys don't need me to do that."One of the bodyguards burst into derisive laughter. "You, live and let live? Do you hear yourself?" He stuck his hands on his hips. "There are eight of us, and you're on our company's turf. As long as you're here and you harm one of our own, none of us are gonna let you off the hook. Laying a hand on any of us isn't gonna bring you any good—I don't see why you'd do it." He gave Darius a frosty look. "Still, I'll be honest—it's surprising to see you speak to us with such can
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1010
Hansley took a deep breath and said, "You and your father have disappointed me equally. At the very beginning, I asked your father to work with me, but he refused. He even gave me a lecture about not working with the black-robed people. I didn't wanna admit it, but I knew he was right. I—" Before he could continue, Darius cut him off.His gaze was frosty as he said, "Tell me what you're gonna do while I'm stuck here for the next two days."Hansley stiffened, then forced out a smile. "What are you talking about? I don't understand you at all."Darius rolled his eyes. "I thought you were more cowardly than others, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. I've already uncovered the truth, yet you're still playing dumb. If this is a game you're trying to play, it isn't fun at all—not for me, at least. You may enjoy it, but I detest it." He tucked his hands into his pockets and gave Hansley a mocking look. "If you have anything else to say, now's the time to spit it out. Remember: I on
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1011
Darius raised an eyebrow. "You've already spent a lot of time dealing with me, so just satisfy my curiosity. I can accept being locked up in this hospital for the next two days; it just comes with a condition. I believe it's a fair trade."Suddenly, Hansley had an ominous feeling. He turned pale and looked at Darius nervously. "What happened? What have you done to my office?"Darius smiled mockingly. "I discovered a tiny secret, that's all. You say the office is yours, but you don't seem to be able to enter and exit it as and when you like. Rather than saying you're the person in charge of this hospital, perhaps it'd be more accurate to say you've been forced to take charge of this place. So, tell me—did I guess correctly?" He crossed his arms. "That's why I told you to cut the crap and just give me what I wanted. Of course, you have the right to object or refuse to go along with me; it's just not gonna put me in a good mood. And I'm sure you know what'll happen when I'm in a bad moo
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1012
Now that he had a direction, Darius thought about the multicolored plaques he saw earlier. If there were any secrets in this place, those plaques would contain them. He wouldn't act rashly, of course, not when dealing with a nefarious organization that had been running wild for years. He headed out of the ward. If he couldn't dig up the secrets in this place, he would destroy them so no one would know! With this thought in mind, he stopped outside a room with an orange plaque above the door; the words "Gastroenterology Department" were printed on it.Darius lifted a hand and channeled his life force out through his palm to surround the plaque. A few seconds later, it disintegrated into dust. He retracted his hand, smiled, and turned to move on to the next plaque. Suddenly, a panicked voice rang out from his arm. "God, I'm so glad I decided not to merge with my body just yet. Look at what you've done, Darius!"This was Darius' first time hearing Teivel raise his voice like this, and i

"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
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1158
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
