The Consortium's Heir Chapter 324
When Darius saw that her eyes were red, he sighed and said, “Look, you don’t need to be too worried. You really moved me when you protected me on the plane.” His words made Kate stiffen.At the same time, the fear in Felix’s eyes disappeared. He stared at Darius, suddenly feeling like he’d stumbled upon something—Darius had to be faking his wealth! Wealthy people would never fly a commercial flight, so there was no way they’d meet new people on planes. So, if Darius and Kate had met on a plane, Darius had to be pretending to be a wealthy person. Felix’s gaze turned ferocious at this thought.Maurice saw this and frowned. After a few seconds, he walked toward Felix while Darius and Kate watched him. Felix’s attention was fully focused on Darius when he suddenly felt a shadow looming over him. He frowned and looked up to meet Maurice’s eyes, then said impatiently, “Maurice, seeing as we used to be friends, allow me to remind you of something—if your goal is to work for a wealthy man,
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 325
He seemed to feel like he made a lot of sense, and he nodded vigorously with his hands on his hips. “Yes, that has to be it. I have to say, you’re very smart—at least, you were smart enough to trick all the people that wanted to harm Darius. But I don’t understand why you’re doing this. Is it because of something ridiculous like him saving your life? Or is it because he’s grooming you for something?” Felix scrutinized Darius as he spoke, trying to get an answer from his expression.Darius saw his probing look and felt bored. He shrugged and said, “I couldn’t care less about the things you just said. Whether you believe it or not, I have nothing to do with any of this. There’s really no need for you to dig deep into these matters because those people who approached you won’t get an answer from you anymore.”Felix paled. He’d witnessed Darius’ attitude toward Austin and what had happened after that, and he didn’t think he’d be an exception to the rule. It was only at this point that h

He wanted to see whether there was anything odd about Felix to help him see what he was really up to. This only lasted for a short while because Alicia came in. She was holding her phone, and she looked pale. The room door wasn’t shut, so Darius wasn’t surprised by her sudden entrance. However, he was a little unhappy about her walking in without even knocking on the door. She’d never done this before, so he frowned. Still, he didn’t say anything, allowing her to explain her actions.Alicia sensed his eyes on her, and her face turned red. Her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, but something seemed to occur to her before she spoke. She quickly shut her mouth.Darius felt impatient—too many people had acted this way before him today, but this was Alicia’s first time, so he suppressed his emotions. His tone was a little harsher than usual as he said, “You don’t look good.”Alicia nodded. She opened her mouth, but instead of saying anything, she showed her phone to Darius. He never

“Why don’t you tell them what you’re doing in my room? What did you come here to talk to me about?” Darius shook his head while speaking, then clucked his tongue. “There are many things that you can’t explain, and if you tried to, you’d only be making yourself seem immoral.” He smiled and took a step back, then added, “I think it’s time for you to say your piece.”His words were like bullets piercing Felix’s skin. He opened his mouth, and his lips trembled as he tried to think of things to say. Darius’ words kept reverberating in his ears—there was no way he’d be able to provide a perfect explanation for the things that had just happened. In the past, his fans wouldn’t even think that anything was wrong. Now, however, things were different. Now that Darius had brought these questions up, none of his fans would accept a perfunctory answer unless they were dumb.Of course, there was no denying that most of his fans worshipped him blindly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have spent so much mo

His amusement only lasted until a simple sentence caught his attention.“Oh, my God! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why do I think this bad guy looks even better than Felix? In fact, I think his eyes look really pure. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy…”This comment was quickly covered up by the others. Darius scrolled upwards, trying and failing to locate it. A hint of pity flashed in his eyes.A few seconds later, he saw that person's comment again. This time, it said, “Ah! This time, I’m sure that he’s hotter than Felix is! You have no idea how fast my heart was beating when he smiled at the camera earlier. I can barely even breathe right now.”Darius raised an eyebrow. This person seemed to have put a spell on him—he couldn’t help clicking on their profile to take a look. He saw a short video on her home page. It wasn’t long, but it was enough for him to see that it was of the flowerbed outside the female dormitory at Kingston University. He committed this account and name to mem

When he turned the phone to face himself, the screen lit up. Countless comments were flying across the screen.“Oh, my God! What was that sound? Did Felix jump out of the window?”“Is he still alive?”“I doubt it. Someone mentioned they were going to look for Darius, right? Why isn’t there anyone there yet?”Amidst the flurry of comments, Darius caught one that said, “I’m on my way, and I’m almost there. I even called the authorities.” He raised an eyebrow, then put the phone into the drawer. In the next second, he heard a commotion coming from outside the window, but the noise was muffled because it was shut. So, he walked over to the window and pushed it open.There were a few police cars parked at the hotel’s entrance, and some officials were arguing with the hotel’s security guards. When Alicia hurried into the room, she saw Darius calmly watching them with his arms crossed. In that instant, she slowed down and approached him cautiously.Darius was smiling. He turned to lean agai

“If you think I haven’t toed the line, you can file a complaint against me—provided you’re able to do that.” He looked at Alicia sharply and shouted, “I’m running out of patience, and I’ll give you one last chance to get out of my way! Otherwise, I’ll arrest all of the hotel’s staff, whether or not they’re involved.”Silence descended upon them. Alicia put her hands behind her back and returned Borisin’s gaze coldly. This was her first time dealing with an unreasonable official who didn’t do things by the book. It looked like she was about to mess up her first assignment as the lobby manager. She took a deep breath, and her expression became defeated.Borisin raised an eyebrow at this and smiled. “Since you already know you’re no use, you should get out of the way.” He thought that he’d finally be able to step foot into the hotel, but things didn’t go his way. Alicia remained rooted to the spot. She smiled at him, but the ice in her eyes was apparent. Obviously, she only smiled beca
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 331
“Then I’m sure that you guys should know that I don’t even consider Borisin a threat. If I really wanted to take his life, I’d have a thousand ways of ensuring none of you knew about us coming into contact.”Everyone’s eyes widened. None of them could believe that Darius had said something like that out loud and in front of so many people. However, that was exactly what happened. Silence descended upon the crowd again—no one knew what to say.Darius pinched the back of his neck, then smiled and said, “Since no one’s saying anything, I’ll take it to mean that all of you agree with me.” He looked at the live stream to see that there were no comments. This was the only time this had happened since the live stream had begun, and he exhaled before looking at the four fans hiding around the corner.“You guys were probably too busy trying to cause trouble for me that you missed witnessing Felix’s death, but I’m sure it’s all over the internet. I don’t mind giving you guys the chance to look

"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
