Darius agreed with that statement, so he nodded while locking gazes with Erin. “You’re correct. This Jeremiah Locke guy seems efficient in monitoring his hotel’s affairs. Even I think he deserves a bonus for reacting so quickly.”Erin smiled but kept mum.Meanwhile, Jeremiah, who had yelled earlier, was nearing Darius.The latter made use of his advanced hearing to track Jeremiah’s footsteps. Once he determined Jeremiah was within his attack range, he dashed ahead and kicked Alvin. Alvin did not expect Darius to do that. Then again, Alvin couldn’t defend himself even if he anticipated the kick. Thus, he flew a distance away, landing on the ground next to Jeremiah with a blow. Jeremiah roared, alarmed at the sudden appearance of something near his feet. He then kicked Alvin out of instinct.Not a squeak came from Alvin, who blacked out immediately after. The only thing proving he was still alive was his subtle breaths.A smirk formed on Darius' face when he heard the commotion behind him, in

Jeremiah wanted to die at that moment. He knew Darius intended to make him pay until all his wealth was gone. Hopelessness clouded his eyes as he looked at Darius. “Must you be so cruel? You caused trouble for this hotel! Even if Dream Investment Group doesn’t take action against you, they’ll make your life a living hell.”“I’ve already heard similar threats like this multiple times today. Yet, no one has made good on their words so far,” replied a sighing Darius with his hands in his pocket.Jeremiah’s face darkened.He knew Darius' mind had been made, so there was no turning back. Thus, he got off the ground, glowered at Darius, and spoke through gritted teeth. “I’ll end my life if I lose all my wealth. Should that happen, I’ll make sure everyone knows you forced me to my death! That will spark endless public hatred toward you!”With every word, he grew complacent, his eyes lighting up with anticipation. He wanted to see the fear and regret on Darius' face as the latter begged for forgiv

“How is this possible? I must be dreaming!”Darius stopped in his tracks upon hearing that. He then looked at Adulayev, who was too afraid to speak, before saying, “I believe you’re aware of what has just happened.”Fear swirled in Adulayev’s eyes.He never imagined his new boss to be such a terrifying person. Feeling shaken up, he kept gulping, not daring to do anything else.Adulayev never once believed a person with so much money could exist. However, it did not matter what he thought, as the truth had now appeared before him. On top of that, he was the only member who survived the wrath of such an elite tycoon.He cautiously trailed behind Darius with his gaze on the ground, too frightened to straighten his back.Darius could sense Adulayev’s anxiety and fear, despite looking ahead. He then turned to tell the latter, “Don’t worry. You made the right choice.”A smile graced his face as he resumed, “You can stay here and watch what’s about to happen if you’ve got some spare time.”Adulayev

“Those who snickered will be sent to prison, where they’ll pay for all their previous wrongdoings. As for those who didn’t snicker, I’ll let you off the hook by only taking your assets as punishment,” Darius declared.All six members opposite him paled drastically.Their legs wobbled like jelly as they lost all their willpower. Desperate, they wanted to grovel at Darius' feet and plead for his forgiveness, but they did not do so.Their pride stood in the way. They clung to the hope that Darius had likely made many enemies. They felt one of those enemies would try to take Darius down. An example was Murray Hotel’s backer, Dream Investment Group, whom they figured could eventually get rid of Darius. Thus, they decided to wait for that to happen.Little did they know how wrong they were.Dream Investment Group would never do anything to Darius again as they knew they were no match for him. The company’s boss had also lost a competent bodyguard while trying to assassinate Darius. Although a new

Darius turned around and opened his mouth to say something. Before he could, he heard someone call out his name from behind. This surprised him because no one here knew who he was. Yet, there was no denying what had happened. His curiosity was piqued.He turned back to see a woman running toward him. She was getting closer.Darius put his hands in his pockets. He didn’t say anything.As she approached him, he got a clear look at her face. However, her figure was what caught his attention—especially her long legs encased in pantyhose.Her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath, and it was all everyone present could see.She seemed to realize this and tried her best to slow her breathing. Gradually, she regained her composure. Only then did Darius' gaze move from her chest to her face.He had to admit that she was a beauty, but it was still no match for her delectable figure.He looked down and noticed her nervous expression. “Were you the one who called my name earlier?”The woman nodded

Darius didn’t want to spare Frederica even a single look. He could see her excitement and intentions, especially when her gaze was trained on him. He wanted to leave, and so he did.He didn’t expect her to appear before him and stop him from leaving. He sighed. “Is there anything else you need from me, Miss Kuster?”Frederica’s face became nervous when she heard him address her so formally. She started to tremble and sounded nervous as she said, “Mr. Reid, I want to buy you a meal as thanks for sharing some of your wealth with me. I’m also grateful that you didn’t ask me to repay you in any way, not even with my body.” She bowed her head.Darius was unmoved. He knew what she meant, but he wasn’t interested. Therefore, he said coldly, “I’m not going to eat with you, and I have my reasons. Firstly, I need you to repay me—by achieving what I wanted you to. Secondly, as I said earlier, I don’t have much time.”When he was done saying what he wanted to, he didn’t move. It wasn’t because he didn

Darius heard the woman’s breathing speed up even more, showing her nervousness.He looked pleased with himself, and he stood up straighter. “I’m also guessing that she’s quite pretty and has blond hair. She’s probably also wearing a white lace mask.”The woman heard this. She wondered how he could tell what her hair was like from this angle and whether she’d accidentally left a strand behind. She was so focused on this train of thought that she didn’t register what he’d said about the mask.By the time she did, it was too late. The curtains before her were suddenly drawn, and her mind went blank.It was good that Darius had prepared for this situation—the woman let go of the window and started falling from the twenty-eighth floor.Fortunately for her, Darius caught her and dragged her back up into the office. The sudden rippling of his muscles made his brand-new shirt tear open.When the woman fell to the floor, her chest pressed against his bare arm, and her top was extremely low-cut. She l

This was beyond Darius’ expectations. He widened his eyes in surprise and was curious to know how Doris dealt with that.He glanced at her, but she didn’t look too happy. She didn’t want him to know how vicious she could be, but she could not shut Erin up. So, she bowed her head to hide her face from Darius.Erin saw this, but it didn’t matter. She wouldn’t do what Doris wanted, anyway. She said, “She had a small blade to protect herself, so she whipped it out and stabbed the man in the groin before running away.”Darius’ lip twitched. He was about to say something to mock Doris, but Erin didn’t give him a chance to. While trying to conceal her laughter, she said, “Sir, if I were you, I wouldn’t be too happy. What I’m going to tell you next about what she used to do will surprise you and make you mad.”This was his first time seeing Erin like this, and he was very curious to know what she was going to say.Erin said, “Every person Miss Gray stole from was affluent but had done plenty of ill

"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
