The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1049
Darius looked at the two obnoxious security guards standing before him. He smiled. Edward stood beside him, feeling nervous. He'd never seen Darius like this before. He parted his lips to say something but ultimately remained silent.Bridget couldn't take it, though. She screeched, "You two look like monkeys! You're even worse than guard dogs—at least guard dogs recognize their owners. You two don't even know who you're facing! Master James may be injured, but no one knows what exactly is going to happen yet. How can you two treat his only grandson like this? Mr. Reid is the only true heir to the Reid Consortium!"Her chest heaved with rage. "Don't you find your actions laughable? Master James has already had his will done up. If anything happens to him, everything he owns will immediately and unconditionally be transferred to Mr. Reid's name. In other words, Mr. Reid has the final say in what happens to the Reid Consortium! Those old fogeys who are seated in the conference room up th

As Edward spoke, he stepped forward to face the security guard. He blocked Darius from view. Darius merely watched them quietly.The security guard frowned. Things weren't going according to plan—this wasn't how he'd expected Darius to respond. As he pondered this, he felt a gust of wind coming at him. Edward was attacking him with his life force.The security guard scowled. The dangers he faced were beyond his expectations. He knew the people around Darius were powerful, but this was worse than he'd expected. He was now starting to regret accepting this mission.Edward's attacks were quick. He lunged at the security guard so quickly that all the security guard could do was stand there and stare at him in shock. The security guard thought he was powerful enough. Only then did he realize that he was no match for any of the people standing before him. He exhaled and realized he didn't have the power to attack Edward. All he could do was dodge him.Darius stood there with his hands behin

And this would be his only chance of escape. The security guard knew for a fact that Darius was the only one among the three who didn't want to kill him. Anyway, it looked like Darius was the only one he could defeat.Darius breathed deeply, then smiled. "Are you gonna attack me now?" He put his hands behind his back. His smile turned icy. His calm demeanor was the exact opposite of the security guard's. The security guard's heart raced as he glared at Darius. He felt provoked.His fist was still raised. He gave Darius the evil eye as he snarled, "I hate people like you the most! You're that rich kid who thinks he's all that when he's actually a piece of shit. You have no idea how easy it is for me to end your life!"Darius raised an eyebrow. Before he could say anything, the security guard roared, "Don't think I'm pulling your leg. Try me; you'll see what I mean! Ending your life is as easy as reciting the alphabet!" The security guard gave Darius a contemptuous look.Darius smirked.
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1052
Darius shook his head while speaking. The security guard stared at him in horror. He knew how quickly he'd moved; few people in this world could defeat him. Yet, he'd failed several times today. Obviously, this wasn't because the people around him had suddenly become more powerful. It also wasn't because his skills had suddenly deteriorated. The only possibility was that Darius and the others were powerful beyond imagination!The security guard gasped when he finally figured this out. Before today, he'd never heard of every member of a team being equally powerful. Besides, in a team of enlightened martial artists, the leader would be the most powerful one. In other words, Darius wasn't just wealthy—he was also strong.The security guard exhaled as the realization dawned on him. Never had he imagined such a situation. It had been too long since he'd last met someone more powerful than himself. Now, he was the weakest among them all. Once again, he regretted accepting this mission. He w

Everything Darius said was true. The security guard had indeed given up on his only chance for survival. The security guard cried harder and trembled more violently. His breathing sped up. He shut his eyes. Now, he knew there was no chance of Darius letting him off the hook. When he realized this, he took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He stopped trembling and crying.Then, he looked up at Darius and smiled almost manically. "I understand now. Listen to what I'm about to say—I might have failed today, but that doesn't mean I'm not powerful in my own right. I have much more to show; I just haven't been given the chance. I won't be able to do anything if you insist on killing me today, but there's something I want you to know—you won't get away with killing me! I swear on everything I own!" He glared daggers at Darius.Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled mockingly. "Yes, yes. It's not the first time I've heard something like that. But you know what? Your threat can only come into ef

This wouldn't have happened if he'd paid closer attention to the results of the investigation! The security guard looked pained as he waited for death to take him.Darius raised an eyebrow. He could sense the security guard was trying to end his life using his own life force. So, he stood and watched. He didn't want to stop the security guard. Though Darius didn't think the security guard's actions warranted death, he supposed it was still the best outcome. After all, they were on opposing sides.As he thought about this, footsteps rang out behind them. Darius didn't turn to see who it was, though. Instead, he focused on the security guard again. He noticed the security guard had stopped trying to end his life. He had now controlled the life force to protect his heart again. This was because the security guard's friends were there.Darius smiled. "Do you think your friends can save you?" He crossed his arms.An ugly look crept onto the security guard's face. His breathing sped up as

The board members had initially had the time and opportunity to save the security guard. Yet, they hadn't done so until they were out of alternatives. Now that the security guard could die at any second, they decided to show up. Darius crossed his arms and watched the elevator mockingly.Every member of the Reid Consortium's board of directors was wealthy and getting on in years. They were longtime business partners of Darius' grandfathers. From an emotional perspective, Darius didn't want to pick a fight with them. Still, it seemed this wasn't a concern to them.At this thought, Darius put his hands on his hips and sighed. He shook his head and looked at the security guard with pity. "Look at how useless your employers are. You've been in danger for such a long time, yet they're only showing up now to try to save you. They might not even succeed! I don't know why you're still so loyal to them. What will you get out of this? Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the show."Darius turn

"And that would make me seem like a fool." Darius flexed his neck. "I'm about to do something I don't like because of you. How do you think that's gonna work out for you?" He put his hands behind his back, looking mocking.An ugly look crept onto Blake's face. He glared at Darius and snarled, "What's that supposed to mean?"Darius shrugged. "Nothing much. I've already made myself clear. If this security guard can't answer me, death is the only thing that awaits him. You can go ahead and fire him, of course. But I guarantee he won't be able to find another job in this city. That won't happen for as long as I hold the Reid Consortium's shares!"Darius' firm attitude made Blake look murderous. His breathing sped up as he glared daggers at Darius. "Do you realize what you're saying? Do you even know what you're doing? You're humiliating yourself by acting like this!""I know nothing about that." Darius shook his head. "Whatever you expect to see in the heir to the Reid Consortium has noth

"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
