The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1055
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

Blake scowled at Darius. He didn't say anything because he was busy thinking. This was his first time considering how Darius felt and the things he'd experienced. Then, he realized Darius was right. He was amazing! If not for Blake being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he wouldn't even be able to have Darius as an opponent, let alone defeat him.For a second, Blake's breathing hitched. He looked at Darius as the thought of ending his life flashed through his mind. In the next second, it was gone. He smiled fondly at Darius and said, "You're making this out to be much worse than it really is. I know how capable you are. It's just that we think you're a little young. Your grandfather's accident happened so suddenly, and he may not have left much information for you. That's why we felt that it's better for us to hold on to the shares for you. It's only temporary."Blake continued, "That's why we're here, actually. We didn't expect you to be so against the idea, though. But it's fi

Darius looked at Blake calmly. On the other hand, Blake looked stunned. He stiffened and stared at Darius. "W-What are you talking about? Why haven't I heard about that?"Darius sighed and shook his head. "So what if you haven't heard about it? There's no changing the fact that your company's going downhill. It won't take long for it to go bust." He smiled mockingly. "Yet, you're insisting I won't be able to lead the Reid family to greater heights without you.Blake paled. He shook his head vigorously and cried, "No, that can't be! My company's doing perfectly fine! It's never had any issues before! I don't know where you heard those rumors from, but you should stop spreading them. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding the fact that James is your grandfather. I'll teach you a good, hard lesson for that!"Blake bared his teeth at Darius. He thought it would it would scare him, but Darius merely put his hands behind his back and cocked his head. "Now I know why your company's runni

Blake gnashed his teeth as he glared at Darius. "Don't cross the line, Darius!"Darius frowned and checked his watch. "I don't think I've done anything that counts as crossing the line. You're the one who's been spouting nonsense and wasting my time. Is it crossing the line if I don't want to go along with you anymore?" He shook his head. "I've wasted too much time on you, and I don't want to continue. If you keep on doing this, I think I can teach you a lesson really quickly."Blake snorted. "You make it sound easy, but I don't believe you for a second. You're just like your father. Back then, he was as obnoxious as you are right now. He also said all the things you said. Yet, we all know how he ended up. If you continue like this, you're gonna end up like him."An ugly look crept onto Darius' face at the mention of his father. He exhaled, then started laughing. It made him look easygoing, but everyone knew that was far from the truth. Blake narrowed his eyes at this. He wanted to sa

"Look, we may be old, but that doesn't mean you can insult us like that! If you want to leave this place alive, you should admit to your mistakes. That's the only way you'll stay alive!" the board member snarled.Darius raised an eyebrow mockingly. "That's hilarious. Someone's already on their knees before me, yet you have nothing to say about that. Instead, you're still trying to force me into giving in. Do you think that's possible?" He put his hands behind his back.He looked harmless, but no one would mistake him for that. The board members' expressions darkened at this. Blake remained on the floor. He shut his eyes, thinking about how he'd never felt this terrible in his life. Now, he finally knew what it was like to have terrible teammates. All he wanted was to appease Darius so he could continue living, yet the other board members were pissing Darius off even more.If he could speak, he'd be shouting his head off at them. The anger actually took his mind off the fact that he co

"Honestly, James isn't such a great chairman. How could he allow just about anyone to join?" Blake abruptly fell silent after saying that. He looked horrified. Then, as he swept a gaze over everyone present, he laughed. "I can talk again! You can hear me now!"As the other board members looked lost, Blake's expression darkened. He rasped out, "You idiots! If not for you, Darius would've let me go! It's all your fault that I've been stuck like this for so long!"The other board members didn't look too pleased at this, especially the one who'd stepped forward. He looked at Blake with anger and disgust. Then, he waved a hand and turned to leave. "I wasted time pleading on your behalf. You deserve everything that's happening to you right now! I wouldn't have an issue with you dying right this instant." He spat, then headed to the building's entrance.He stopped as he passed by Darius. "I don't think you're a good leader, but I have no issue with you taking over the Reid Consortium." With

Blake passed out and fell to the ground with a thump. Darius raised an eyebrow at this. His senses as an enlightened martial artist told him Blake had fainted out of fear. He wanted badly to laugh but suppressed it. Then, he turned to look at the vehicle that was approaching. It was a large truck.Darius shut his eyes and used his senses to determine the number of people inside. He couldn't help feeling surprised. It seemed the security guard had more friends than he'd expected. There were at least twenty people in the truck, and they had the same goal in mind.Darius smirked and crossed his arms. He was interested to see how these people were going to help their friend out. Did they know what he'd done or intended to do? Darius leaned against the gate and waited for them to show up.Sure enough, when the men jumped out of the truck, they looked enraged. They didn't bother making small talk. They brandished their batons and glared at Darius. "Hand Bruno over! He's a good friend of our

"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
