The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1071
Then, Darius smiled. "That makes sense, but you have the wrong idea about something—it's not necessary for me to know too much. All I need to know is that you're an enemy of the Evans family. Everything else can be set aside." He looked at the thief.The thief looked up. After a while, he nodded. "Alright, I'll believe you. I hope you're not lying to me." He sighed, then sat down. He leaned back and said, "I'm also a member of the Evans family, but they've disowned me. My name's just Chad now."Darius snorted. "The Evans family's pretty fond of disowning people, aren't they?"Chad frowned. He said bitterly, "What? Don't you believe me?"Darius shook his head. "No, it's not that I don't believe you. I just find the Evans family laughable."Chad looked much better at his words. He nodded. "Tell me about it. I've never met less trustworthy people than them." His expression darkened as he spoke. He gave Darius a resolute look. "I'm telling you the truth. After disowning me, they kicked me

"Aside from the fact that he looked like a younger version of my father, everything else was identical. I wanted to approach him to ask more questions, but he looked at me like I was a stranger. He drove me away, which I find really weird. I don't know whether you're aware of Dream Investment Group backing the Evans family up. That's also one of the reasons I'm here today. I wanted to find out what exactly happened to my father." Chad sighed. Then, he gave Darius a determined look. "That's why I think our goals aren't contradictory. We don't have to interfere in each other's matters at all."Darius nodded and stretched out an arm. "Make yourself at home." He had an idea of what had happened with the Evans family. When Chad was a child, the Evans family must've gone through a power shift. It caused most of the wealthier members of the Evans family to be disowned and driven out. But because there were too many of them, it seemed more like the Evans family had been split up. That's why t

Erin sighed in relief and smiled. "If that's the case, I'm gonna hang up and leave."When the sound of the wind whooshing past stopped, Darius knew Erin had stopped the car. He relaxed. He didn't know what would happen if Erin and Chad were to run into each other. Still, his instincts as an enlightened martial artist told him it wouldn't end well. Erin didn't know about Darius' concerns. She turned the car around. Suddenly, she felt a little regretful. She should've asked Darius where to head next. But since she'd already hung up, she couldn't call him again. She shook her head and pushed these thoughts out of her mind.Erin stepped on the accelerator. No matter what was happening with Darius, the only thing she could do now was return to West Atlantics Int'l and manage it to the best of her abilities. She shut her eyes. She no longer dared to imagine her future with Darius.On the other hand, Darius didn't speak. The wind blew past him, but he didn't do anything. His eyes remained s

Blake's breathing hitched. He paled and felt his strength leave him as fear washed over him. He collapsed to the floor. Still, he couldn't help stealing a glance at Darius. Darius snorted at this. "Regardless of what you've seen or haven't seen, just act like nothing happened. Knowing too much won't do you any good."Blake gulped and staggered to his feet. Then, he forced out a smile. Darius didn't say anything at this. He was curious to see what Blake would say. Blake said cautiously, "I understand. I won't do anything to disturb you! I know nothing about what happened to you!" He turned and fled.Darius smiled at this, but his smile soon faded. After running a distance away, Blake turned around as surreptitiously as possible. He didn't dare to make a full turn to see whether Darius was still watching him. When he didn't see Darius out of the corner of his eye, he smiled. He was one step away from jumping with joy when he caught himself.He kept running until he reached the curb. The

Then, Darius smiled. Things were getting interesting. He couldn't wait to see what the Evans family had in store for him. He flexed his neck and stood up. Now, all the negative emotions he'd felt before had disappeared. Surprisingly, he also found that as long as he remembered to meditate, no drug was powerful enough to harm him.Darius looked down at his hand. He clenched and unclenched his fist a few times before muttering, "I guess I'm still not strong enough!" He put his hand down, looking determined.Iago stood before Darius' door for a long time before turning to head to his room. He didn't dare to speak to Darius, especially since he'd heard about what had happened at the Evans family's manor. He couldn't imagine what Darius thought of him now.His breathing sped up as he leaned against the door. He didn't dare, nor did he want to, make a sound. What would he do if Darius were to give him a look of hatred or disgust? Iago avoided Darius as these thoughts plagued him.Darius sen

Declan had to take several deep breaths to calm down. He looked up at Darius with a smile as he saluted. "Sir, I'll use my life force to lift all these rocks into the air. Then, I'll turn them back into what they used to be." He gave Darius a determined look.Darius could sense this but wasn't too confident in his abilities. Declan stood beside a small hill that was about twice his height. It didn't look that tall, but who knew how far underground it went?He exhaled and put his hands behind his back. Then, he said, "As far as I'm aware, that hill beside you has existed since the Reid family's manor was built. It goes deep underground; my ancestors dug as deep as possible but still failed to extricate it."Declan didn't look demotivated by this. On the contrary, he looked confident. Seeing this, Darius knew he felt he would definitely succeed. He didn't say anything else. Instead, he stepped back and gave Declan space to perform. "Make sure not to put yourself and the Reid family's ma
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1077
Darius looked relaxed, but Declan could already feel the iciness. He knew that if he hadn't put on a good show earlier, Darius probably would've only driven him out. Now, if he were to make the wrong move, Darius would end his life. He gulped and looked at Darius. He was smart and had already made up his mind. "Bruce did. He has nothing against you, of course. He was just worried about your safety and whether you could handle the Reid Consortium without Master James around.""Bruce has many capable men under him. None of us are as strong as him—we've battled him countless times and suffered countless defeats. That's despite us going against him non-stop," Declan said. "We found out some things because of Master James' accident—the Reid family's manor isn't as safe as it seems. That's why Bruce sent me to you."Darius believed he was telling the truth. His expression softened. "If Bruce was worried about me being unable to handle the Reid Consortium in Grandpa's absence, why didn't he

Declan didn't know Darius was watching him from his room on the second floor. He stood by the window with his hands behind his back. Bridget stood a step behind him with a Cheshire cat grin.Darius turned to her and asked, "Can you tell me why you look so happy?"Bridget nodded. "I just think this guy's hilarious." She exhaled.Darius could tell she was trying her best not to let her amusement get the better of her. Obviously, she wasn't getting very far. He tucked his hands into his pockets and smiled. Bridget's grin was infectious.Bridget cleared her throat and continued, "He wants to win your attention and trust but isn't willing to treat you with complete sincerity." Her expression turned scornful. "I don't think he's trustworthy, sir. I also don't think he made it into the Reid family through glorious means."Darius raised an eyebrow curiously. "Why do you think that?""It's simple. Before any of us are allowed to join the Reid family's bodyguard training center, Bruce will use

"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
