Now, Brett's gaze traveled between Darius and the manager. His eyes were lit up at the prospect of there being gossip. Darius sensed this and held up a palm.He channeled his life force to it and pretended to scratch something. As he moved his hand, something heavy conked Brett on the head, making him fall to the floor. At the same time, Brett cried out in pain.Darius smiled and retracted his hand. "Sorry, I was just scratching an itch." Brett gave him a look of disbelief and pointed at him. His lips trembled, but he didn't say a word.Darius turned away from him. He was worried he'd burst into laughter. With Brett out of his sight, he calmed himself down.When Brett got to his feet, his expression shifted when he found everyone's attention on him. This wasn't what he wanted! He shut his eyes and tried hypnotizing himself. He told himself they couldn't see him if he couldn't see them.Darius knew what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "You got what you wished for, didn't you? Ev

Darius smiled at Brett's reaction. At the same time, he was surprised. He thought most people would already know about him.He didn't expect his classmate to be completely oblivious to his identity. Now, no one was paying attention to Brett. They all watched Darius nervously, except the manager.The manager smiled helplessly. "I hate to say this, but you're probably not the best person to work here." He was quite tactful.Darius smiled politely but didn't say anything. On the other hand, Brett almost jumped with indignance. "What are you talking about? What's that supposed to mean?"He glared at the manager. "I get it now—you just don't want anyone to intern here, right? I'm not gonna say anything about the interns you chased away earlier because they're in the wrong. But what about Darius?""He hasn't stepped a toe out of line since entering this building." Brett started trembling with rage. "All he did was introduce himself! He didn't say anything else! Why are you firing him?"He g

Darius' gentle tone made Brett's eyes light up. "Darius! No, boss! You're a wonderful person! I've never met anyone better than you!" He looked at Darius sincerely.Darius put his hands behind his back without responding. Instead, he turned and approached the coordinating professor. From beginning to end, the professor had only spoken once.This made it hard for Darius to believe the professor was of good character. The professor looked up as Darius approached. He frowned and said, "You might be the president of West Atlantics Int'l, but you're still one of Kingston University's students."He sighed. "I wasn't gonna say anything, but you've served yourself on a silver platter. I don't think you'll be offended if I pointed out your mistakes, considering I'm one of Kingston University's professors."Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled politely. "That makes perfect sense, sir. Still, I'm sure you know West Atlantics Int'l is Dream Investment Group's biggest competitor. There are bound to

Professor Owen chuckled. "You're right—I do regret taking you on. I've regretted it for God knows how long. But as long as you're my student, I won't allow these negative things to affect you."Besides, I'm Ward's friend. I know all about you. I objected to you being sent there for your internship, you know. It's just that no one listened to me." Professor Owen sighed."I know things wouldn't have ended just like that, though. That's why the university and I agreed on a backup plan. If anything were to go wrong because of your identity, you'd be given another chance elsewhere."You'll have to use a fake name, though. And it's one that the university arranged." Professor Owen fell silent after that.Darius didn't say anything. Sunlight streamed in through the window and shone down on him. It made him seem peaceful and warm.Brett stared at him. He'd never seen Darius like this before. He couldn't help feeling nervous despite knowing Darius was in a good mood. And it wasn't like Darius

The chauffeur looked despondent. "Enough to ensure I won't get killed."Darius raised an eyebrow. "Do you see that guy over there? The one who's daydreaming. I want you to get out of the car and find the right time to drag him in here. Then, I want you two to get out of here. Don't bother about me and how I'm doing."The chauffeur gulped. He said in a small voice, "I report to Ms. Erin, Mr. Reid. She's the one who pays me."Darius gave him a surprised look. "Are you trying to say that you won't follow my instructions?"The chauffeur shook his head vigorously. "Of course not!" He smiled sheepishly. "It's just that your orders and Ms. Erin's are contradictory—"Before he could continue, someone swung a baseball bat at the window. It made the chauffeur jump and turn pale.Darius glanced outside calmly, then turned back to the chauffeur. "How is it contradictory?"The chauffeur shut his eyes. His voice was loud but shaky as he said, "Ms. Erin said to prioritize your safety above everythin

They stared at the man in disbelief. Darius leaned against the car with his arms crossed. Despite his shock, he looked calm.When the man started sobbing, Darius said, "I disagree with what you've said." He smiled. "We're all from Kingston University—one of this nation's best universities. The fact that you made it in means you're outstanding enough."Besides, you've made it through your education and are only left with your internship. You're about to graduate soon."Darius was only speaking the truth, but it made the man cry harder. Darius raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Now that that's settled, I think it's time for us to talk about compensation. You need to pay me back for the damage you've caused my car."The man's eyes widened in disbelief. "We're classmates, Darius! How can you expect me to compensate you?" He made it sound like Darius was committing a crime.Darius put his hands behind his back. "I thought you were salvageable. If your attitude had been a little better, I could'

Things wouldn't be so odd if Darius had only missed the chauffeur's movements. But he couldn't help thinking further since he didn't notice Brett either.Darius raised an eyebrow at this. Then, he frowned when he felt someone tugging his arm. No one had acted this way with him before, and he didn't like it. It soon stopped, though.He turned to see Brett looking at him with doe eyes. "Darius, you look fierce and have a bad reputation, but you're the kindest person I've ever met." His gaze was sincere.Darius breathed deeply. He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. Brett sensed this, and his gaze turned cautious. "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to thank you."Darius glanced at him, then turned to look out the window. "Do you know the guy who tried to smash the window?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he regretted it.Brett barely showed up for class. He wasn't even interested in the goings-on at the university. How could he possibly know that guy if he didn
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1101
Darius didn't say anything for the longest time. Brett looked down at his feet and said, "Of course, I'll need help. The person behind the Bjorn family is too powerful. I've tried everything possible to take them down, but I've failed each time."Brett looked disappointed. Darius crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. Brett didn't notice this. He gripped his pants tightly, feeling nervous as he waited for Darius' response. After a long while, Darius sighed. "I'll help you."Brett's head shot up. "R-Really?" Tears streamed down his face again.Darius couldn't help wondering how he could cry on command. He shook his head and pulled his phone out. Then, he glanced at the chauffeur and asked, "Why aren't you driving?"The chauffeur looked helpless. "It's not that I don't want to, sir. It's because Noah Bjorn is lying in front of the car. He'd be in danger if I were to start driving."Darius raised an eyebrow. He channeled his life force out with a frown. The chauffeur was telling the trut

"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
