The Consortium's Heir Chapter 194
Darius raised his arm, pulled back his sleeve to look at his watch, then placed his hands on the table. “You’ll have loads of free time in the future, Dean Fletcher, while I’ll be busier. If you want an easier time at the detention center, I suggest you stand and speed this whole process up.”Leon’s eyes narrowed the slits at Darius. “You’re too arrogant, Darius Reid! Sooner or later, you’ll pay for it!”Darius did not respond to that. His expression remained blank as he put his hands in his pockets, turned toward the official, and said, “I think we should go now.”“I agree,” replied the official in a neutral tone. Subsequently, Darius exited the space with the group of officials in tow.Pearl never imagined she would witness such a scene. Her jaw dropped, and she did not know how to respond.That continued until Darius stepped outside the dean’s office. Only then did Pearl finally speak. “Darius, I think I should go with you because I can prove that you wrote your dissertation. Plus, I als

Darius and the official were no longer within Donny’s hearing range.The latter, also Donny’s friend, kept silent the entire time.It was later when Darius decided to speak up. “Are you worried Donny got detained because your chief has something to do with the mastermind behind my situation?”The official generously expressed their admiration for Darius, praising him, “You’re the top student at Kingston University, who’s genuinely exceptional and intelligent. That’s exactly how I feel. According to our rules, Donny shouldn’t even get detained, at least not until the case closes. Moreover, he shouldn't have received such a harsh punishment.”“It’s okay.” Darius was calm as he explained, “No matter what horrible things they do. I’ll deal with the root of what made this happen once Donny’s matter gets resolved.” The official’s eyes widened.Yet, it did not last as he immediately collected himself. “I can’t do much to aid you with that. All I can do is hope for your success and pray for

Darius arrived at the university gates and saw almost all of his lecturers standing there. He tensed, confused by that sight. However, he quickly snapped to his senses, approaching a lecturer who had taught one of his classes. “Professor Brown, because Professor Plinsky and Dean Fletcher are both dealing with some troubles, I don’t know who to ask regarding my request for a month’s leave.”Professor Brown was aware of everything that had transpired. Thus, he felt pity for Darius and was quick to nod. “I already know about your request and am giving you my approval.”Darius did not expect things to go so smoothly.Nevertheless, he reached out to shake hands with Professor Brown, hoping to express his gratitude.After the handshake, Darius left the scene with lightning speed as he could not wait to be at Almiron City.Erin had successfully booked flight tickets to Almiron City by the time Darius joined her in the car.“Let’s go to the airport since we already have the tickets,” said D

Darius halted upon hearing those words. Heasked, “How long before our flight’s boarding time?”Erin glanced at her watch before herfeatures slightly softened. “We still have three hours to get our boardingpasses.”“It looks like we have plenty of time toresolve this issue,” replied a sighing Darius. He no longer tried to interveneat that point. Instead, Darius found a quiet corner at the airport with a clearview of the commotion. There, he sat down and got himself a cup of coffee.Erin sat beside him with a perplexedexpression. “Mr. Reid, why aren’t we going over to help them?”Amused laughter bubbled from Darius justthen. “I believe this is something they, as bodyguards, should know toresolve.”Not understanding Darius’ intention, Erinkept quiet. She remained beside him and watched as he drank his coffee.…Meanwhile, the commotion downstairsintensified.The middle-aged woman grew more agitated,baring her teeth. “Edward, my daughter has never done anything behind yourbac

Bridget ran to Darius’ side, urging him, “Mr. Reid, I think you should give Edward another chance because this matter has been plaguing him for some time now. It’s plausible for a girl to fall in love with Edward at first glance and obsess over making him her boyfriend. However, Edward doesn’t even remember meeting this woman’s daughter. He doesn’t even know when they crossed paths! As for the rest of this woman’s accusations about our workplace relationship, that’s false as well!”Her gaze locked onto Darius’ face, searching for any hint that the latter had changed his mind about firing Edward. Sadly, there was none.Even Erin did not know what Darius was planning. She felt his current actions were different from what she previously thought.Silence filled the space.However, the surrounding onlookers now stared at Darius with disapproval. They felt he was cruel for not protecting his employee in that situation.Little did they know their opinions would soon get proven wrong.Darius took o

By the time Darius located Erin, the woman had vanished. All that remained was the faint smell of blood in the airErin did not feel he had to hide anything from Darius. “I broke her wrist and got her to admit why she did all that.” While saying that, She looked at Darius, waiting for his response.Darius signed.Erin reached out to look at his watch. “If we had found out about this 30 minutes later than we did now, we’d already be on the plane, facing a grave threat.”Darius and the two bodyguards shared confused looks before they asked, “What exactly happened?”Neither of the three could imagine the severity of what was happening.After pondering for a while, she decided to reveal the truth. “At first, I didn’t think things were that serious, so I planned to give anyone involved with the earlier incident a warning. You know—give them a taste of pain. However, along the way, I caught a whiff of a peculiar odor that only belonged to aircraft paint. Those guys were here as flight passengers,

Darius chuckled, feeling taken aback by Edward’s words. “That doesn’t matter because you can prove your capabilities by speedily defeating them.”Edward nodded.As their conversation ended, two men appeared beside Edward.One of them swung their arm around Edward’s shoulders and said, “Edward Elliott, we’ve had a hard time tracking you down these years. We didn’t think we’d see you here.” Edward, Bridget, Erin, and Darius were surprised that the other party did not immediately take action.However, Edward would tell the man had exerted a lot of force on his shoulder, which made his brows furrow.He remained unmoving but spoke with an irritated tone. “Shouldn’t you be happy to have found me?” The man’s face warped with rage. “We’ve always treated you well in the past, Edward. Why would you do this to us now? Besides, I need to know where our mom has gone. She said she saw you and came over but never returned to us, not even until now.”Edward’s gaze shifted to Darius. He was unsure if he shou

“Then, when our mother came over to get even with him, they killed her!”“Oh? Well, I haven’t heard such an absurd thing,” one of the control room personnel replied calmly, “We’ll investigate this matter. I’ll need you guys to come with me until we find out the truth.” Darius could tell the personnel was not in a good mood, but he remained in his seat.The personnel nudged his spectacles before frowning at Darius. Even his tone took on a snarl. “Did you not hear what I said? I told you to come with me!”Darius continued to stay seated, not moving, save for his gaze that shot toward Edward.Upon seeing that, the personnel looked over at Edward. “I saw what happened earlier. You were the one who started the fight and beat them up.”That was when the airport’s speakers recited Darius and his entourages’ names, urging them to board the plane.Darius stood, adjusting his suit before saying, “Before you decide to arrest us, you’ll need to look for their mother’s so-called dead body and investigate

"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
