The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1076
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

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

Darius couldn't continue meditating anymore. His face started turning black—it was a sign of looming death. Anxiety started creeping up on him when he sensed this. Darius had never imagined this situation before.He exhaled, then breathed in. He did this a few times while squeezing his eyes shut. At this moment, Bridget burst into the room. She'd been in her room, thinking about what Darius had told her. Suddenly, an abundance of life force filled the apartment.It was out of control and hurtling everywhere. Immediately, Bridget knew something had gone wrong. She'd gotten to her feet when a strong burst of life force pinned her to the floor. She had to wait it out before she could scramble to her feet and race toward Darius' room.Bridget stood at the door, gripping the doorknob. It was the only thing she could use to keep herself steady; the life force was trying to knock her back. Sweat beaded on her forehead and rolled down her face, but she didn't intend to leave.Bridget paled wh

Edward's brows furrowed as he watched Darius and Bridget worriedly. He'd sustained such serious injuries despite sitting at the door. He couldn't even imagine what the life force was doing to them.Bridget didn't know what he was doing because she couldn't see him. All she knew was that some of the life force that had been attacking her had gone elsewhere. She frowned but didn't turn back. Instead, she said grimly, "Have you lost your mind, Edward?"She didn't expect him to act like this. Her heart twisted painfully. She couldn't bring herself to imagine what Edward was currently experiencing. He could've avoided injury. After all, he'd been outside when Darius had lost control. As long as he hadn't entered the room, the life force wouldn't have attacked him. Still, he hadn't stayed away.Obviously, he'd only come into the room to attract some of the life force to him. That way, Bridget and Darius would have some room to breathe. It was too high a price to pay, though. Tears trickled
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1081
It felt odd. Darius couldn't find words to describe it, but he smiled to himself. It looked like he'd advanced to the next stage. Sure enough, the abundance of life force around them shot toward him.At the same time, Edward cried, "Hurry up and run!" Before Bridget realized what was happening, she felt him grab her wrist and drag her with him. She frowned, not expecting Edward to act like this. It took all of her willpower to suppress the urge to fling his hand away.She didn't resist him, though. They'd worked together long enough for Bridget to know Edward wouldn't act like this for no reason. She'd been caught off guard earlier and had to be dragged along, but it wasn't enough to get away. To Edward, Bridget was still a formidable opponent. Even if he'd advanced in his enlightenment and was strong enough for people to envy him, he wasn't exactly that powerful.His power alone wasn't enough to get them out of there, so Bridget channeled her life force to her limbs. In that instant,
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1082
Suddenly, Bridget realized the world wasn't just black and white. It was also filled with rainbows, sunsets, and sunrises. It was too bad she wouldn't be able to see these things anymore. Had she done anything wrong? She didn't think so. She used her remaining strength to turn to look at Darius. Then, she shut her eyes.Darius was too engrossed in his world to notice what was happening. His attention was completely focused on his body. He knew enlightened martial artists experienced change with every breakthrough. His life force would also change.Even if he was ready for this, he still couldn't help being surprised by what he saw. He watched as his life force merged to form a golden, long, snake-like object. Then, scales and whiskers formed on the object. It became a golden dragon!This surprised Darius, and his breathing hitched. Everything that was happening now was beyond his understanding. Teivel had told him in the past that his path of meditation originated from the mysterious
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1083
Darius shut his eyes as his mind raced. Ultimately, nothing came to him. Instead, his anxiety made the golden dragon panic. It started crashing around as hard as it could. Anyone standing beside Darius would see his skin rising and falling. It was because of the dragon crashing against him from inside.Darius couldn't see what was happening outside but could see inside himself. As the pain intensified, his expression became stonier. He sighed, not knowing what to do. Without his life force to protect him, his body wouldn't hold out much longer.Suddenly, he thought about the meditation method that Teivel had taught him before. At the time, Teivel had told him it seemed dumb, but he'd see how irreplaceable it was when he needed it.Teivel had looked proud as he said that the meditation method would resolve many issues. Darius had learned the meditation method. When applying it, he found his life force did flow smoother than before. But as time passed, he'd stopped practicing it.This w

"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
