The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1097
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

Brett was engrossed in his elation when he suddenly felt like he was floating. He looked down to see the car in the air and shuddering violently. He could sense Darius' grimness from beside him.Brett squeezed his eyes shut, knowing that he couldn't bear witness to this. Darius had run someone over for his sake. He believed Darius was capable of keeping this matter under wraps. All he had to do was pretend he knew nothing.This was how Brett saw it—Darius would tell him about anything he needed to know. With his abilities, he was better off not knowing anything. And that was why he'd shut his eyes. He said, "Darius, if you don't want me to know about these things, you can cover my ears."Darius' lips twitched. "You mentioned someone backing the Bjorn family up, right? Look, he's here. Don't you wanna see what he looks like?""What?" Brett cried. His eyes shot open and widened in shock.Darius leaned back with an exhale. "At least it wasn't a complete waste of time dealing with that idi

Without even realizing it, Noah's smile turned sycophantic. Darius raised an eyebrow at this. "Are you done talking shit?"Noah gaped at him. He didn't know what to make of Darius. At first, Darius had treated his threats and mockery with patience. Then, he'd warned him and told him to compensate for the car. Then, he'd lost patience for his threats and mockery. Darius had tried to take this life.He'd made it out alive and gone back to threatening Darius. Oddly enough, Darius was still resolutely against him. This was despite him knowing there was someone powerful backing him up.Noah didn't think Darius was doing this on a whim or in a fit of rage. He felt Darius had to be confident he could come out on top. That was why he was opposing him.Darius smiled. He could see how hard Noah's mind was working despite his silence. Noah felt like his blood had run cold at Darius' smile. He widened his eyes in shock, feeling like Darius could see right through him.He parted his lips to speak,

The black-robed person's voice turned cold. "Don't feel so pleased just yet. It wasn't my intention to praise you." He smiled. When Darius didn't respond, he remembered Darius couldn't see his face.He barked out a laugh. "You're the most shameless person I've ever met, Darius. Didn't you want to have a duel with me? Now, I'll show you how weak you are compared to me!"As soon as his words fell, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere. Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled at this. It made the black-robed person uneasy. Neither he nor Darius had moved an inch, but it wasn't because he didn't want to. He couldn't!This shocked the black-robed person. His breathing hitched, and his eyes widened. "What's happening? Why can't I move?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he was sent flying. He landed on the ground with a crash.Darius' smile widened. "So, I realize you've probably never imagined the things that have just happened. Now, you have no choice but to face them. If you can't

"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
