The Consortium's Heir Chapter 17
The three ladies who walked in looked extremely familiar to Darius, especially the one in the middle, which made him wonder where he had seen them before. He was still looking at the ladies intently when the lady in the middle noticed someone staring at her.She had noticed someone staring at her, which she ignored as she was so attractive, but when she looked at Darius, she recognized his face but couldn't recall where she had met him.A single glance at his table filled with luxury meals showed that the person was probably very wealthy, as being able to dine here meant that he had a membership card. The least membership card cost $100,000 which meant that he clearly had $100,000 to spare for food.“Claire, what are you looking at? Let’s go.” Hera, one of the ladies who accompanied her spoke up.Claire nodded lightly and burned Darius face into her mind before leaving. As she came from a well-to-do family she also had a membership card. Although it was a silver membership card it was

The young man looked at Darius with a very livid expression on his face. He couldn’t believe the kind of luck he had.First, a no-name bitch had stepped on his shoes and while he was disciplining her, another idiot had come to play hero at his expense. Did the person want to die?He tried to yank his hands off the stranger’s grip but the stranger’s grip was just too strong.“I don’t know who you are but I suggest you unhand me this instant. Otherwise it won’t end well for you.” The young man said angrily.The people in the crowd all watched this scene with bated breaths. They had thought this would be a one sided beat down for the lady who had offended this big shot, but they didn’t expect another person to step out from the crowd and stand up for the lady.The lady herself felt very shocked. She clearly did not expect anybody to stand up for her. She thought that she was already doomed, but now it seemed that that wasn’t the case.“I won’t unless you promise to let the lady go.” Dari
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 19
The young man looked at Darius for a brief second before bursting out into laughter. Darius stood still and watched the man laugh for a few seconds. When the man was done laughing, he wiped a fake tear from the corner of his eye before speaking. “What? You want to pay for the shoes?” The young man asked. Darius remained silent and only stared at the young man, showing how dead serious he was. “You can’t be serious. How do you even want to pay for the shoes when you can’t even afford a decent pair of shoes?” The young man asked in a mocking tone. Everyone immediately moved their eyes to Darius’ shoes. When they saw the worn out shoes he was wearing, another round of whispering and gossip broke out. “He’s asking the price for the limited edition collection shoes while he can’t even afford a nice pair of shoes?” “I can’t believe my eyes. What sort of vanity is that?” “He must be probably trying to impress the lady. After all look at his outfit, plain ordinary.” The lady who stepp

He turned back and saw that it was the lady he saved. He took a closer look at the lady and saw that she was really beautiful. She was tall, although not as tall as him, probably 180 cm, with fair skin and beautiful blonde hair. She also had an hourglass figure which her poor clothing did little to hide. The girl stared back at Darius, and then looked back at her feet. She was too afraid to speak up, but she didn’t want to let Darius go just like that. He had just paid 1 million dollars on her behalf. Even though to him it might seem like nothing due to how rich he was, to her it was something very touching. After fidgeting for a few seconds, she finally had the courage to speak up. “Hello.” She muttered; her voice very meek. Darius didn’t reply and kept staring at her, waiting for her to speak up. When she saw that Darius didn’t respond, she finally braced herself to speak up. “Thank you very much for your help sir. If you didn’t even help me I don’t dare imagine what would hav

Darius woke up the next morning earlier than his roommates. Just like he guessed they had indeed gone to the club and came back very late in the night. That wasn’t even the worst part. They had not only come back late, but they also came back very drunk. They probably didn’t have a lecture today, which was why they could afford to sleep this leisurely. Darius took his bath and dressed up in his new outfit and shoes. He now looked completely different from his past self when he attended classes. He gave his roommates one more glance before shaking his head and leaving the room. Darius had no car yet, he decided to walk to his lecture venue. As he walked to his venue, several expensive cars passed by him including Ferraris, Audis, Mercedes and several sleek sedans. Darius didn’t pay them any heed. He now had two super cars of his own. All he needed to do was to wait for Bruce to deliver them; then he’d be driving to class in an expensive car too. Darius thoughts soon shifted from tha

Since everyone was aware that the charity gala had always been conducted in a single manner, they were all interested to learn what the new change to the traditional method would entail."I wouldn't waste your time on this because I'm sure you're all curious about it." The professor said when he noticed his students' earnest and curious looks."The charity gala this year will be a joint event with Kingston University, Lockwood University, and Evergreen University."The charity gala was a joint event with Kingston, Lockwood and Evergreen University? Everyone let out gasps of shocks when they heard the announcement from the professor. The three universities collaborating for the events were all top universities in their districts. They all had top students attending their universities and of course majority of the students there were of wealthy background. Darius scowled deeply when he heard this news. He hadn’t even gotten over the incident that happened at the last gala he attended

“You pervert!” Darius held his cheeks with his right hand. He looked at the lady who had slapped him and finally got a clear view of her. Beautiful wasn’t even the right word to describe her. She had long, lustrous red hair that was scarlet and had a lovely luster. Her eyes were a stunning shade of blue, and her lips were a stunning shade of pink. Words cannot even begin to express how stunning she appeared; her face was flawless and free of any flaws. She wasn't as tall as Darius, but she was still tall. She was incredibly tall for a woman at about 185 cm. Darius brought his gaze down to her see through shirt, glancing at the large breasts and pink buds that were visible to him. Darius only needed to take one look at her to realize that she was more attractive than his ex-girlfriend. She was heads and shoulders above Sarah with her hourglass body and fair skin. Darius finally brought his attention to her face, but all he could make out were the lady's angry eyes. "Done lookin

Darius, however, arrived too late. He only caught a glimpse of her red hair as it vanished into an expensive Chevrolet Corvette V8. The sleek vehicle swung out of the parking space and sped away.Darius let out a sigh. He decided to keep the bracelet with him till he was able to give it to her.He checked his phone's time and noticed that he just had a few minutes before his lectures began. He then turned and walked quickly towards his lecture hall.---Darius was finally able to make it to class after a few minutes of walking briskly. Luckily, the lecturer wasn’t in the class yet which meant that he wasn’t late. Darius took his seat and waited for the lecturer to arrive. Just a minute later, the lecturer arrived and the lecture started. There wasn’t anything unusual in the lecture. After an hour, the lecture ended and everyone started to leave the lecture hall. As Darius stood up to leave, he heard several gossips flying around about him and his encounter with Pearl Chamberlain. Da

"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
