The Consortium's Heir Chapter 272
Although it hurt for Wilson to bow since Darius was still grabbing his hair, he still did it.Darius’ brow quirked. It shocked him to see the former doing that, so he loosened his grip and clapped his palms together, dusting them. He then pointed at the keyboard, stating, “Starting now, I want you to finish drawing up the share transfer agreement. However, in addition to the agreement, you’ll hand over all assets, excluding cash, under your name to me.”Wilson’s eyes grew wide before he compliantly sat down. Yet, he did not touch the keyboard. Instead, he snapped icily, “You’re truly something, Darius Reid! I may have lost today, but your current actions have crossed the line!”He spoke in a controlled tone and seemed calm, as though he was not the one in danger. Yet, he was profusely sweating beneath his clothes. He knew if this continued for even a single minute, his sweat would seep into his clothes, revealing how anxious he secretly felt. That would mean he had lost the battle entirel

A relieved sigh slipped out of Wilson when he saw Darius slowing to a halt. In his eyes, that meant the latter was willing to help him. However, he was oblivious to how Darius was one step ahead and had figured out the tank meant bad news. Darius had merely stopped to ponder the best course of action—to let Wilson die now or save him. He did not have to think for much longer, though, as a man soon exited one of the tanks and approached him with a baseball bat. Darius then quirked a brow before deciding to stay silent.Contrarily, the approaching man did not share the same sentiment. He stood before Darius, rage causing the tips of his ears to redden. He gripped the baseball bat so hard that even the veins running down his forearms popped.Still, he gritted his teeth, suppressing his wrath to say, “I’m Benji Anderson. I believe you’ve guessed my family background now that you know my last name.”Darius’ brows raised upon seeing the former. He never thought someone could behave so formally

That ticked Benji off entirely. He pickedup the bat again, hoping to strike Darius down. This time, things still did notgo as he wanted because Kate ran over to defend Darius. Kate extended both arms in front, grippingBenji’s bat tightly and stopping it from lowering further. A reddish tingeseeped into the whites of her eyes and to her cheeks.“Uncle Benji, would you rather believe theguys who released this video instead of me? Don’t you know those people framedme to get my dad’s wealth? Isn’t it too convenient that they uploaded thisvideo now when my dad is missing? They’re the ones benefitting the most fromthis situation—not me and Darius!”Benji’s face warped, still cautious butslightly convinced, so he retracted his bat. Feeling things click into place, Dariusraised a brow while examining the onlookers behind him. They had been standingaround for some time but did not speak. Because of that, Darius assumed theywere security guards or other staff members hired for the

“Let’s leave for now. I promise I’ll proveto you later that I’m not lying,” Kate explained.The chaotic scene was what Wilson saw whenhe rushed out to the yard. He froze, unable to take another step now thateveryone had seen him exit his villa. Wilson was in a dilemma as it was notappropriate for him to stay or leave, and even if he did try to excuse himself,there was no right way to do so.Benji’s eyes were still glued to Darius,not bothering to spare even a sideways glance at Wilson. His fingers tautenedaround the bat again while his breathing grew heavy.Standing opposite the former, Darius kepthis hands in his pockets. It seemed as though he was unperturbed, despite beingthe target of Benji’s murderous glares. That only pissed Benji off more. He groundhis teeth against each other so hard that his jaw hardened. At the same time,he made sure to enunciate his following insult, “Fucking scumbag!”Indeed, Benji saw Darius as nothing morethan a complete scumbag. He felt an

Wilson frowned,feeling distressed. He didn’t know how to react to this. After a short momentof consideration, he decided to tell Calypso the truth. So, he turned aroundand looked at her.Before he couldsay anything, the person beside him cleared his throat. It made him jolt, andhe turned to look at Darius. Then, he saw Darius turn away nonchalantly as ifnothing had happened.In that instant,Wilson tensed up. He understood what Darius had meant! This realization souredhis mood because it was a skill only subordinates needed to have when dealingwith their superiors. In his case, he’dpicked it up without even putting in the effort to. His expression becamecomplicated.However, hedidn’t dare look at Darius again after his hint. A few seconds later, he turnedback to look at Calypso. This was her first time experiencing the feeling ofhaving his eyes on her, and she blushed. She fiddled with the hem of herclothes, and her tone was odd as she said, “Mr. Gillette,when I was i

However, itturned out that he just didn’t know his siblings well enough. In fact, perhapshe didn’t understand them at all. For instance, he felt like Calypso was atotal stranger.His eyes reddenedat these thoughts, but he didn’t cry. He stood there with his hands behind hisback, slowly balling them into fists.Silence descendedupon them. Calypso remained kneeling on the ground, her eyes still dartingaround, but she didn’t say anything.Benji couldalready tell what her answer was. He didn’t expect her to show her disdain forhim so outwardly. He gulped and said hoarsely, “Since you’re not sayinganything, I’ll take it that you think I make sense and that you’ve given up onyour ludicrous idea.”Calypso glared athim and shouted shrilly, “Benji Anderson! Don’t think you have the right tojudge and interfere in my life just because you’re two years older! You’re agood-for-nothing loser, and you’re trying to make me end up like you!”Darius admiredthe shocked look on Benji’s fac

“Kate’s identityis all over the internet now, and someone could do anything to harm her at anytime. Yet instead of thinking of a way to resolve this, you’re allowing her tojust stand here.”Benji’s eyeswidened, and there was a mixture of shock and regret in them. Darius looked athim with pity, but he didn’t stop. He knew the words he was about to utter nextwould only be more hurtful. “I’m sure youdidn’t think about this, but from the moment you brought your family here, yourecognized my relationship with Kate! From the second you showed up here, noone would believe you anymore, no matter what you said or what evidence youcould provide.”Darius’ voicewasn’t loud, nor was he forceful. Still, Benji could feel that his shirt wasdrenched with sweat. He seemed to lose the strength to remain on his feet, sohe slowly sat down and buried his head in his hands. Then, he grabbed his hairand tugged it harshly.Darius could seehow much despair he was in, but there was nothing he co

However, when hesensed the shift in Benji’s emotions, he immediately turned back to look atBenji. Caught in the act, Benji stiffened. At the same time, he lookedthoughtful.The Andersonfamily was affluent, so he’d seen many martial arts experts. None of them hadthe sensitivity Darius possessed, however. Benji found it hard to believe thatsuch a sharp person was poor. In fact, if hecould gain control of the Anderson family, he’d definitely want to take Dariusunder his wing, provided he had enough money to do so.Darius wassurprised by Benji’s pondering again, but it didn’t take long for Benji toreturn to his senses. Calypso lookedfurious. She clenched her fists tightly and swung them around, her voice likenails on a chalkboard as she screeched, “That’s enough! You’re such adisappointment! You’re my brother, and I’m the only person in this world thatshares your blood. Yet, you’re protecting William’s daughter even though he’salready dead!”Silence descendedupon them fo

"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
