The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1035
"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

The person in charge's expression darkened at Darius' words. He gnashed his teeth in anger. Darius put his hands behind his head and looked scornful. The person in charge breathed deeply, then looked at Darius grimly. "I've already called the authorities. They should be here soon." He held his head high.Darius turned to sit on the couch with a mocking smile. "So what? I was already prepared for that when I decided to crash this place. I'm ready for everything that you might throw at me." He also held his head high.The person in charge widened his eyes in shock and started feeling nervous. Darius was too calm. It was as if his earlier threat was nothing but a joke to him. He sat opposite Darius and said, "There must be someone backing you up for you to just show up here. Who is it?"Darius' smile widened. He eventually started laughing. "Firstly, myself and my family are what's backing me up. Secondly, what made you think I'd reveal that information to you immediately upon arriving h
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1037
The person in charge looked stunned. "W-What did you say?""I said, you're an idiot." Darius curled his lips. He stood up and tucked his hands into his pockets. He slowly approached the person in charge. "It looks like aside from being an idiot, you don't have good hearing either. I've already made myself clear earlier. In the past, your reporters have written many false articles about me.""The way I see it, you're a member of Dream Investment Group. You may not work at its headquarters, but you're still one of its employees. That means we're on opposite sides." Darius' expression turned mocking. He crossed his arms."I'll be frank with you—I don't believe you're as dumb as you seem." He looked at the person in charge and smirked. "To tell the truth, I'm not too inclined to have a deep conversation here. You don't look like you're in the best of health; I'm worried you'll just keel over if we were to get into an argument.""Shut your trap, Darius!" the person in charge bellowed."I g
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1038
Darius straightened up and fixed the person in charge with a mocking look. "You've been talking about wanting to take me down since I got here, yet you haven't done a thing. You've just been waiting for the authorities to get here. Alas, they're taking a little longer than you expected." He emphasized, "a little longer." He then added, "Do you still think you're all that?"The person in charge's breathing hitched. He stared at Darius in shock. Never would he have expected Darius to speak to him like this. His expression darkened as he exhaled through flared nostrils. "Darius, I've been polite with you thus far and spent far too much time on you. You have to answer for that."The person in charge stepped back and clapped his hands. Immediately, several people burst out of nowhere and circled Darius menacingly.Darius raised an eyebrow at this. "What, are the authorities almost here? Are you attacking me as a challenge to them?" He put his hands behind his back. He didn't look scared in

Slater tried to keep his expression calm. It was a little challenging, seeing as there were cracks spreading across the building's walls. It had yet to collapse, though. After a few seconds, he yelled, "Everyone in the building, listen up! Get out of there if you don't want to die! If you're still in there when the building collapses, no one will remember who you are and what you've done. Dream Investment Group will definitely cover this up!" After that, he lapsed into silence.Godfrey's eyes widened at his words. He ran out of the building, his chest heaving with rage. Then, he pointed at Slater and roared hysterically, "Do you realize what you're doing? You're still under my employment! This is a breach of contract! I can sue you for that! You're gonna pay for this!"Godfrey turned to look at the building behind him, which now had cracks all over. He could already see that he was going to die a terrible death for this. The building didn't belong to him; he was only in charge of runn

Yet, Godfrey was worried about the building collapsing and didn't dare step inside. Darius raised an eyebrow mockingly. "What's wrong, Godfrey? This is your office building, yet you don't have the nerve to step inside. Aren't I in here? And also your former head of security." He sighed and leaned back, crossing one leg over the other.Godfrey gaped at him from the entrance. He didn't expect Darius to have the nerve to enter the building when it was on the verge of collapsing. He shook his head and cried, "You're a madman!" He squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again to glare at Darius. "Don't think you can achieve anything by hiding in this stupid building! If anything happens to it, you're the first I'll go after for compensation!" He pointed at Darius.Darius shrugged. "That's a refreshing take." He looked completely at ease.Godfrey's eyes widened in shock. His breathing sped up. He knew he couldn't allow things to continue like this; he wouldn't benefit from this at all. As

"Don't do this to me! I'll tell you everything you want to know. No, I'll tell you everything I know! Everything!" Godfrey cried.Darius silently raised an eyebrow. When Godfrey didn't receive a reply, he cautiously raised his head to check out Darius' expression. To his dismay, all he saw was the back of Darius' head and half of his back. He gulped and lowered his head.He knew what Darius meant by this. He remained on his knees while taking a deep breath. Then, he said, "This is what happened. Half a month ago, I received some instructions from the higher-ups at Dream Investment Group. They told me to do everything I could to turn everyone's impression of you bad. Since I could use the power of the media, that's what I did. Anyway, it was a way to protect myself. If Dream Investment Group wanted to go after you, you had to be wealthy. You weren't someone I could afford to offend."Godfrey paused here and looked up at Darius, hoping to receive a response. Was he to continue, or was t

"Have you finally decided to drop your circus act?" Godfrey sneered.Darius raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes. Godfrey glared at him and said, "I've been playing nice with you, but you haven't appreciated it. Now, I'm gonna show you the gap between us!"Darius stopped when he heard how pleased with himself Godfrey sounded. He looked at Godfrey, who now stood akimbo and held his head high. He said scornfully, "The fact that you're standing here means you're wealthy and probably capable, but I'm here to tell you that it's all fake!"Godfrey's breathing sped up. He glared daggers at Darius and continued, "I've seen countless people like you. You're nothing special, no matter which way you look at it." He cleared his throat and continued, "You have a pretty face, but it's nothing compared to those celebrities. Even if you wanted to use your face as a way of making a living, it'd be nothing but a dream!"Godfrey's voice was loud and piercing. It made Darius' ears hurt. He raised an eye

"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
