“That’s impossible!” the manager boomed, unintentionally attracting people’s attention.Flustered, he cleared his throat and waited for the right moment to explain, “Our airport’s security members are professionals. Every aircraft has a dedicated safety inspector, so our planes will never falter. I bet you’re someone with ulterior motives. You must have gotten hired by our competitors to spread fake news!”Darius glanced at the man from the control room and said, “I believe you guys can confirm whether I’m telling the truth or not. I’ve already wasted plenty of time in this airport, which is a tremendous loss on my part. So, I hope we can resolve this soon.”The man nodded. Although the two came to an agreement, they did not consider the manager’s feelings. That caused the manager’s eyes to widen with rage, and he thundered, “You guys are being unreasonable! Our airport has nothing to do with the matter!”He then scanned Darius from top to bottom before flashing a disdainful look. “

Darius spoke straightforwardly.“I have some bad news for you. According to my investigation, your lover holds 20% of this airline company’s shares. However, I own 51%. While the 20% grants your lover the status of being one of the top two major shareholders…”The manager’s face became pale. What shocked him more was that things had not ended there.“...You’re not someone capable. All you did was rely on your looks to seduce your current lover. You’re only able to stand here and point fingers at me so rudely because your lover gave you this position,” Darius continued.He then cracked his neck, adding while he examined the manager’s expression, “There’s more that I know, such as your lover’s husband. His and my company rarely engage in collaborations as he’s far too inferior.”The manager suddenly had a relaxed expression. Upon seeing that, Darius’ lips curled into a sneer. “Of course, those are merely my opinions. The same can’t be said for your lover. If her husband wanted to fire you and

All the woman could do was get up and bow deeply at Darius. “I’m deeply sorry. This was my fault. I’m willing to pay any price to alleviate your anger and not get punished by you.”The manager had already gotten apprehended by that point.Meanwhile, the man from control room stood aside and watched the events unfold without reacting.Curiosity flickered in Darius’ eyes as he watched the two people. It was his first time encountering such a situation.The woman could tell he was curious and quickly explained, “These two have worked at our airport for many years, and they’re very knowledgable about the airport’s ins and outs.” “Don’t trust that woman, Darius!” the manager yelled without thinking twice. He was furious after being held down for some time.That interrupted the turning cogs in Darius’s brain, causing him to frown and focus on the pallid manager.Having caught Darius’ attention, the manager announced, “I may not know who you are, but I’m sure you’re the person that woman once menti

Not a word came from Darius. All he did was shut his eyes and continue to rest.It was not long before Erin closed her laptop and stood, her eyes gleaming. “It’s done, Mr. Reid.”At the same time, her features loosened with signs of exhaustion.Darius opened his eyes, but before he could speak, the woman guffawed. “Anyone can find out who owns the airline by searching it online. Besides, I’m the company’s—”No longer patient, Darius shot onto his feet and glared daggers at the woman. “I hope you remember that I own more than half of this airline company’s shares. In other words, I have absolute control over this company, which means I can replace this company’s board and executive manager as I please.”Fear coursed through the woman’s veins.She raised her head, casting a shaky look at Darius while musing, “I’m the second major chairperson in this company after Darius. I’m also the executive manager. In saying that before a crowd, Darius is making others question my authority! I can’t let hi

Elizabeth boldly locked eyes with Darius, stating, “You claim to be the major shareholder with more than half of this company’s shares, yet I’ve never seen you before. I can, however, apologize for everything that happened today if you can prove it.”Darius’ brows creased into a frown. He reached out an arm, resting it on the bench’s armrest while tapping his fingers against the metal. Growing irritation radiated from his very being as he replied, “According to what I recall, I’ve proven it to you before.”It was like a blizzard had erupted in Darius’ gaze, causing the temperature around everyone to lower drastically.“And you should know that, as your superior, I’m not obligated to prove myself to you. Instead, you should correct your current behavior toward me,” Darius added. He then stood and gazed at the group approaching them with a sneer. “Took you guys long enough.”Shock coated the face of the control room personnel who went to confirm Darius’ claim about the plane. Nevertheless, t

The flight attendant’s cheeks took on a bright pink hue. Even her voice sounded much gentler. “Dearest passenger, we’re about to take off, so that man shouldn’t be standing up now as it will affect the take-off procedures. That’s why I lectured him. My actions also make the overall flight smoother for passengers like you.”Her intentionally honeyed tone sounded like nails scratching against a chalkboard in Darius’ ears. He was not impressed and could discern the woman’s nature, as well as what she was thinking of at the moment.“I don’t care what your thought processes is,” Darius said, “But I hope that you won’t cause me any more displeasure in the journey ahead.”The flight attendant's face turned pale, unable to accept what Darius said. It was shocking to her that Darius, a gentleman from top to bottom, could utter such harsh words. She stood rooted to her spot for the longest time before the in-flight announcement stated they would be taking off soon. Nonetheless, she ignored it.Her p

Darius was still curious about the situation. After all, according to the airline company’s rules, a flight was unlikely to take off within an hour and a half if its door opened.The passengers were losing their patience at that point. They grew restless and began clamoring, causing a racket in the cabin. Only Darius remained unbothered by things as he sat in his seat.Meanwhile, Kate assumed that the door had opened because of her. A proud grin spread across her face just then. She was pleased with how quickly the captain had acted upon her orders.“How about it? Are you afraid now? Know that a plane won’t fly if I don’t allow it. So, do as I say if you want to continue your flight comfortably,” she said, smirking while raising her chin triumphantly at Darius. She felt as though things were going her way. Darius ignored her as he heard some familiar footsteps. He turned toward the door and saw two security accompanying Elizabeth into the plane, their hands on her shoulder.However, the tw

Kate intended to say more, but Darius suddenly opened his eyes.His icy glare sent chills down everyone’s spines while he ordered the captain, “You may fly this plane at its regular speed if you’re able to take off within ten minutes.”Anxiously, Kate chewed on her bottom lip while scrutinizing Darius’ face. Only after seeing his blank look did she realize he was serious. Thus, she nodded at the hesitant captain beside her. “Go. Get the plane to Almiron City as quickly as you can.”The seat in front of Darius was empty.Kate did not hesitate to sit there and buckle her seatbelt.“I don’t think that’s your seat,” said a frowning Darius. “Besides, it bothers me.”He felt a hitch in Kate’s breath but did not dwell on it. Instead, he shut his eyes.The plane soon took off.Silence ensued in the cabin as no one wanted to bring up what had happened before taking off.Throughout the journey, Kate kept looking behind her, but Darius’ eyes did not open, nor did he show signs of wanting to speak to her.

"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
