Four balls of life force floated out of a corner out of Darius' sight and tried to catch up with him. Unfortunately for them, he was too fast. The balls of life force bobbed up and down in the air for a while before returning to the collapsed building. Darius knew nothing of this. He stepped on the accelerator, taking the three balls of life force he'd earlier captured with him. He wanted to go rescue Bridget, but he figured she would've been brought to safety long ago.Suddenly, he slammed the brakes and brought the car skidding to a stop. He sighed as he realized he'd forgotten something important. Edward was still at the hospital! As Darius prepared to turn the car around, he saw Edward's panting figure appear in the rearview mirror. Darius raised an eyebrow and waited for Edward to catch up.Sweat had beaded on Edward's forehead by the time he got into the car. It wasn't his lack of ability that rendered him incapable of catching up with Darius. Darius had just left too quick

Darius frowned. He stopped and turned to look at the reporters. "I've been patient enough thus far, especially since you tried to blame me for things I didn't do and drive a wedge between me and the developer of Solaris Estate. Still, I pretended not to hear any of that and left without saying anything. If you insist on harassing me, I can't guarantee you'll like the outcome." He smiled perfunctorily, then turned and walked away.The reporters stopped and exchanged looks, caught off guard by Darius' words. As far as they knew, no one had threatened reporters like this before because the general public would believe anything they published. Even if their articles were based on total lies, the public would believe them. This was why none had dared offend them throughout their careers.Now, however, Darius had done just that. The reporters' eyes gleamed menacingly as they started thinking of ways to smear Darius' reputation when writing their articles. Suddenly, Darius turned around and

##The reporters paled and stared at Darius in shock. Their breathing hitched as he smiled at them, making them uneasy. They tried hard to glare at him and sound as mad as possible, but to Darius' ears, their voices were shaky. Darius approached them again. He no longer wanted to give them chances, no matter the reason. There was an angry look on his face. The reporters didn't expect him to ignore them outright, and they trembled in fear at his rage.Darius sneered at this and put his hands behind his back. "I've already made myself clear once, and I didn't expect to have to repeat myself. Still, it doesn't matter. I'm wealthy but also kind, so I'll repeat myself. Before I do that, I hope you'll remember what I say this time!"He paused and swept a gaze over the reporters. When he saw their expressions turning ugly, he smiled and continued, "I can be patient with you, but I want you to remember that there's a limit to my patience. This is my second and final time saying these things t
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1031
Darius looked away from the reporter after saying that. The reporter was dumb beyond belief; Darius felt insulted by every word he had to say to the guy. He sighed and sat down again with his arms crossed. He said disdainfully, "How much can you tell me about this mysterious person who's been feeding you lies?"The reporter's head whipped up, and his jaw dropped. He didn't know what to say or do because he hadn't expected Darius to refuse to let this matter slide. He gulped as his mind raced, trying to think of a way out of this.The reporter did have some information on the mysterious man, but he didn't want to let Darius get his answer so easily because it wouldn't benefit him in any way. Still, if he were to withhold the information, he'd be in for a rough ride. He shut his eyes and sighed. "I think he could be a friend of yours, but he's definitely not an enemy."The reporter opened his eyes but kept his gaze trained on his feet. "I've already told you everything I know. It's up

Darius laughed mockingly. "You've been causing trouble for me for quite some time now, but you've never heard of the Reid family? Don't you find that absurd?" His expression darkened at the awkward looks on the reporters' faces. "This means I've been wasting my breath this whole time!"He cracked his neck. "I want you to know that I'm upset by this; it makes me feel defeated." He tucked his hands in his pockets and swept a gaze over the reporters. "If that's the case, I don't think any of you should continue working as reporters. Of course, you can return to the newspaper office to pack your things. I'll be making a trip down there to speak to your employers."Darius shrugged, then turned and left without another look back. The reporter who'd spoken earlier remained rooted to the spot, still holding out his phone. As he watched Darius speed off, he sighed. He didn't know what was happening anymore. He subconsciously wanted to call his boss to update him, then stopped. He figured none

The head security guard realized this wasn't a person he could defeat. He took a deep breath and smiled. Then, he said, "Sir, perhaps we can talk things through instead of hastily resorting to violence." He looked at Darius nervously.Darius curled his lip and exhaled from his nostrils. There's only one thing I'd like to say—have the person in charge come to see me. My patience is running out, and I don't think you'd like to see what happens if you continue like this." He flexed his neck.The head security guard's expression turned dark at this, and his tone became grim. "I know you're powerful, and I'm sorry to have to say this, but a discussion was only on the table if you had a good attitude. It's not exactly the best right now, so I'm doing you a favor by reminding you of that. I only hope that things will proceed smoothly from here."Darius raised an eyebrow, looking scornful. At the same time, he stepped forward and moved past the head security guard as if he hadn't heard a word
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1034
Darius stopped, looking serious. The head security guard nodded and said, "Understood, sir. I won't let you down." His eyes were filled with gratitude. He wanted to get to his knees and kiss Darius' feet as a way of showing his gratitude, but Darius didn't give him the chance to.Instead, he waved an arm and strode into The Dream Newspaper's building. The head security guard watched him and waited until he was out of sight before turning away from the building. His reason for doing so was simple enough—he wanted to protect Darius.Darius sensed this but didn't say anything. He proceeded forward until he was in the lobby. Things were different from what he'd expected. It was quiet inside. The front desk had been set up nicely, but there wasn't anyone manning the counter. He put his hands behind his back and smiled mockingly.He knew the building looked so deserted because of his presence, but it didn't make sense. He sat on one of the couches and poured himself a cup of coffee. Then, h

"Now, I see that those articles were wrong." The employee's breathing sped up.Darius put a hand on his hip and nodded. He smiled, but it was cold. "You could be on to something, but it doesn't matter. My point right now is that I want to know where the person in charge is. Why is he hiding in his corner? Doesn't he have the nerve to show his face?"A trace of impatience flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at the table by the entrance. He said crisply, "Alright, I'm not interested in talking about these useless things with two women. Tell your employer or the person in charge that I'll give him five minutes. If he doesn't show up within that time frame, I can guarantee that this beautiful front desk will be turned to dust."He smiled and continued, "That includes everything that's on and behind the counter, of course. I couldn't care less whether any of these things are important."The employee gulped and looked at him tentatively. She was about to say something when an old man's

"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
