The Consortium's Heir Chapter 237
The car was still parked in its spot. As Pearl deliberated over what to do, something seemed to happen in the courtyard. Darius opened his eyes, and what he saw rendered him speechless.Four men appeared before him—three of them were burly and tattooed, and the remaining one’s eyes kept darting around. Who knew what was going on in his mind?Darius narrowed his eyes. He didn’t really want to have anything to do with them, but there didn’t seem to be any reason for him to turn them down. He rolled his shoulders, then sighed and looked at them. “Bring on whatever questions you have.”To his surprise, the official in the lead merely looked up at the sky before pulling out an order for arrest. This wasn’t something Darius expected, so he narrowed his eyes even more. The women paled, unable to utter a word. Of course, this didn’t bother him.He merely looked at the officials and nodded seriously. “You guys don’t have to look so wary. I won’t do anything to you; And I trust that you guys ar

Miguel felt Darius’ hand wrap around his neck, and it wasn’t a nice feeling. He became especially angry when he heard what Darius said. He struggled to take a deep breath, his eyes bulging. It wasn’t easy to do so because of Darius’ grip, but he managed to force out, “Darius, you’ve made a mistake. As long as you admit to your wrongdoings or pay a fee, no one will come after you anymore. But if you harm me, it’ll only worsen your crimes. You won’t be able to bear the consequences!”“Thanks for the advice, dude. But if I were you, I’d think about this—you were the one to attack me out of nowhere, yet you’re telling me to think about the consequences.”Miguel paled and widened his eyes in shock. “You’re about to get locked up at the detention center! How dare you speak to me like that!”Darius looked at him, his face is void of emotion. His tone was mocking, though, as he said, “I wouldn’t be saying things like that if I were you. After all, you have no idea how rich I am.”Miguel stare

All sheremembered was that she’d walked into a room. Before she could even see whatwas in there, someone threw her a protective suit and shoved her out. She tookin a deep breath and looked at one of the men she’d come here with. “Sorry, but I’mhere for an interview.”The man noddedand gave her an encouraging look. “Good luck, then.” Afterward, he gestured atthe bodies with his jaw and walked away.Darius was nowstanding in the middle of the hall, and he was repelled by the bodies. Thiswasn’t something that was supposed to happen. The skinny official, BorisinMartinez, narrowed his eyes, noticing Darius’ odd behavior.He frowned, tooka step back, and pulled out a walkie-talkie. “How many more are there?”The voice on theother end of the line said respectfully, “Sir, those are all the bodies wefound. There are seventy-two of them in total.”Borisin nodded.“Where are the people who came with Darius?”The person on theline probably didn’t expect him to ask this question. Aft
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 240
Borisin scoffedat him. “Aren’t you worried there’ll be a repeat of what just happened?”Darius’ templesthrobbed, and it got on his nerves. He rubbed them lightly and said, “What’sthere to worry about? You’re still alive, aren’t you?”When he returnedto the hotel, he saw a bunch of people crowding around the entrance. He stayedin the car and focused his attention on them. Sure enough, he heard anobnoxious voice ring out, saying, “Look, this iswhat you get for offending me! That dumbass Darius, his lackeys, and mistresshaven’t shown their faces here anymore, have they?”“Of course! As expectedof Lyon! Man, who does that fucking Darius, or whatever his name is, think heis? I'll teach him a lesson the next time he shows up here!”The people in thecar frowned. After all, Darius had lost some of his memories for unknownreasons, and this wasn’t good news to them. Also, Erin was worried that it hadsomething to do with his health. She’d seen howmuch effort he’d put into his wor

Darius heard someone roar outside, so he looked out and saw Lyon on the ground, covered in blood again. This wasn’t something he’d expected. He raised an eyebrow and met Lyon’s hatred-filled gaze. He sighed.Borisin looked at him with a smile in his eyes. “I thought you’d take his life like you did that old lady’s.”“Stop trying to frame me. Her death has nothing to do with me.”Borisin narrowed his eyes. “Don’t you think that sounds weird?”Darius nodded, propping his head up with his arm on the window. “It does.” He crossed his legs at the knees and tapped his fingers against the seat’s armrest.“There’s really no need for you to test me because all you’re going to get is another lie.” He wiggled his eyebrows and shut his eyes, not saying anything else.Borisin frowned at his attitude. His reaction wasn’t within Borisin’s expectations, so he didn’t know what to say. Soon, the silence was broken. When the fighting ended, Bridget ran over to them. “Mr. Reid, I’ve already rounded everyo

Borisin followedDarius. He had his own thoughts about this but couldn’t put them into action.On the otherhand, when Edward heard Darius say his name, he flung Lyon aside withouthesitation to go to him. However, the moment he had his back to Lyon, Lyonsuddenly pounced on him and wrapped his arms around Edward’s leg. He startedwailing, “I know I’ve made many mistakes, but I hope you can forgive me thistime.”Edward shook hisleg. Lyon was clinging to his leg so tightly that his blood flow wasrestricted. He took a deep breath and forced out through gritted teeth, “Let mego, or I swear I’ll never forgive you!”Lyon slowlyreleased him. Edward moved away and gave him a look before heading to Darius’room. He was greeted by a shocking scene, making his eyes widen—Borisin wasgripping Darius’ hand tightly, and he was crying. It was thecomplete opposite of his usual cold, steely image. Edward didn’t know whetherhe’d been hiding this from them from the start or whether this was a

Chapter 211 ICan’t##Darius heardsome noise on the other end of the line, then his grandfather’s resolute voicerang out. “Tell me everything you know.”He knew there wasnothing to hide about this, so he told James everything he and Borisin had seenand experienced. James sounded even grimmer after listening to him. “So, you mean tosay that neither of you came into contact with anyone? No one injected anythinginto either of your bodies or force-fed you anything? Yet this still happened?”Darius rubbed histemple. “Yes, Grandpa. I’ve tried my best to recall every detail, but I haven’tcome across anything that seems out of the ordinary.”“Alright.” Jameshung up. Darius put his phone down and looked at Edward. “That drug youresearched—how is it administered?”Edward met hisgaze. “There are plenty of ways. One can drink, touch, or even breathe it in.”“When do thememory lapses start?”“The moment thedrug kicks in. And that was the reason why it wasn’t thrown intoproduction—th

Chapter 212 Unethical Experimentation##“But I had no money, place to go,friends, or even family. There was no one I could ask for help from,” Edwardcontinued, “I roamed the streets for three days,starving and freezing so much that I wanted to seek help from my professor.However, when I arrived at his home, I realized his door was locked, and itseemed like no one had been home in a long time. I asked around the neighbourhood,but a neighbour suddenly called out my name and handed me my professor’s housekeys. I asked them what had happened to my professor but never got any answers.So, I lived in my professor’s home for three years while searching for him. Theauthorities only revealed the truth when I was on the verge of breaking down.” He paused for a breath before adding, “Itturned out that my professor tried searching for me and discovered thecompany’s unethical experimentation in the process. He then informed theauthorities and negotiated with the company to hand me ove

"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
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1158
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
