The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1017
Instead, Darius willed them to gather in his chest, surrounding his heart in thick layers.Sure enough, the sight before him became disillusioned with time. He sucked a sharp breath in when he realized the room was actually red. However, it differed from the orange paint earlier; this entire space was blood red. There were even globs of red that climbed up the walls, then formed distorted words. Not only that, but Darius could sense the fresh human blood getting infused into this room, giving more power to the room's dried, darkened blood. "This place isn't a hospital; it's more like a massive slaughterhouse!" Darius mused while sighing deeply and shutting his eyes, concealing the fiery rage in his pupils. He spun around to voice his shock and discomfort to Teivel. However, Teivel's hands were behind his back, and he smiled as if unbothered by the grotesque scene.A frown marred Darius' face at once. At the same time, distrust and fear crept into his voice as he asked, "You're my m

oud snapping sounds rang out as the energy supply lines got cut one at a time.Teivel's brow raised. His body levitated while he watched his mentee attack the lines with force. There was fleeting approval in his eyes. He would've given a standing ovation if it weren't for the inappropriate setting.Darius' life force cut off all the lines. Something crackled in the air before darkness engulfed the room. It was like a moonless, starless night sky. At that moment, Darius reabsorbed his life force into his nostrils. It stopped his breathing for a second. This prevented him from detecting the breaths of anyone from the outside world. Darius reopened his eyes again. He realized the situation had reinforced his past choices and beliefs. The enemy he currently faced wasn't a real human. His guts writhed with disgust upon seeing the cultivator before him. Despite how straight and tall the cultivator stood, it was most likely not on purpose. The cultivator's legs and waist weren't human b

While the cultivator had sensed Darius was about to attack, he couldn't dodge in time. Even so, attacking the former didn't soothe Darius' anger. Darius lowered his head, his attention shooting toward his hands. His countenance darkened like the onset of a storm. It was because his blade made of life force had vanished. It was like it never existed. As for the cultivator with spider legs, he had screamed out of fear.Darius refused to believe what was happening, so he willed his life force to form another blade in the air. Again, it disappeared before touching the cultivator's spider legs. That was unlike anything Darius had ever seen. Darius' features wrinkled in confusion. As he pondered why that happened, he heard Teivel's voice in his mind. "Don't worry," Teivel said, "That's a visual disruption by the magic seal. It won't have an effect on you if you're powerful enough. It can't interfere with your resolve or your abilities."Darius calmed down upon hearing that. Sighing, he
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1020
Still, it was more accurate to say that Darius hadn't thought about it yet. Brows going up in exhaustion, Darius flashed a helpless, weary look. Little did he expect to see a relaxed and upbeat smile on Teivel. "You don't need to worry about that," remarked a cheery teivel. "You've already broken the seal once with your abilities earlier. I'm sure it'll be easy for you to do it again. The reason you can't now isn't because you're unwilling. It's because you don't believe in yourself."That shocked Darius, who needed to take two deep breaths before smiling back at the former. "I can break this seal with my abilities."It wasn't a question he had uttered. Instead, it was confident reassurance to himself. Even his eyes lit up as he spoke. He then nodded at Teivel, saying, "I understand now."Only when Teivel explained those things to him did he notice the changes to his environment. Placing both hands behind his back, he shut his eyes and tried to sense his surroundings with his heart.

Darius slowly extended his arm and placed his palm against the wall ahead. The countless screaming souls that bared their teeth from earlier materialized before him. Their eyes lit up with greed like they wanted something from him. Darius knew they were after his body. They wanted to take it over and return to life. He refused to fulfill their wish. His lips spread into a thin smile that didn't quite meet his eyes. Darkness shrouded his gaze. It gave off a frosty exterior. It was as if his presence had set off a blizzard in the space around them. Overflowing black life force spilled from his palm. This caused the words on the wall to stop distorting. The words seemed to have grown eyes, all focusing on Darius. It took several seconds before Darius realized he hadn't hallucinated it. The eyes existed. Soon enough, the words crept out of the walls, revealing that they were actually an enormous clew of wriggling worms."Oh!" Teivel exclaimed. "Those are leeches that originate from West
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1022
Teivel then whipped his head around. His lips curved enough to flash his pearly teeth at Darius. "You're right! No one has ever thought about this before, yet you did! I'm going to tell so many people about this!" Still standing amidst the flames, he grinned at Darius. He continued, "As for your questions about the leeches from Western Xypora, it's time I dispel your doubts. There are many martial arts cultivators, and they belong to unique organizations. Moreover, my group's histories are unknown to others. So, our historical records differ from yours. It's just that you're unable to read my group's historical records—"A lengthy sigh came from Teivel just then. "Because your powers back then weren't good enough. That's why I never told you about these things. But now, I think it's time you knew."For a moment, Darius held his breath while processing the former's words. He had never considered the possibility of such things, not even now, when his powers had advanced. Now that the

The cultivator smiled in a scornful way. He moved his arm. The remainder of the dust that hadn't merged to form his body flew to his palm.Darius smirked at this and cracked his neck. "Your attack looks scary. But, I only need to look closer to see that it only seems that way. There's no bite to your bark." He shook his head and clicked his tongue.The cultivator had never imagined being mocked this way. He sucked in a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, causing the dust to swirl around the room.Darius frowned, feeling disgusted when he remembered how the dust had come to be. His expression darkened. Without any hesitation, he stretched out an arm and channeled his black life force toward the cultivator.The cultivator looked shocked. "How are you able to use this type of life force? Were you among those who betrayed us?" Then, he scowled. "I don't care who you are. You shouldn't have betrayed us. If you've turned your back on us, you're no longer one of our own. I don't think it

Darius raised an eyebrow and held out a palm. The balls of life force floated toward him and landed on his palm. Darius smiled mockingly at them, not expecting the balls of life force to still want to attack him despite the seal on the room being broken.He made to clench his fist, but before he could, Teivel cried from the book realm. "No, don't! You can't deal with them so directly!"Darius stopped and raised an eyebrow in surprise. Teivel sighed and continued, "They're doing this on purpose because they want you to crush them. You have to keep this in mind—aside from those plaques, anything that you crush or kill when the seal breaks will somehow find a way to bite you in the ass."Darius looked at the balls of life force in his palm and sighed. Then, he put his hands behind his back and ignored the balls of life force. They were now floating around him again. He walked out of the room to move on to the next color—yellow. To his surprise, it was the corridor he'd been walking t

"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
