The Consortium's Heir Chapter 375
“Because I’m honestly not as mad as you think I am,” Darius said calmly.Sean’s eyes darted around. He didn’t know what the right thing to do was. He’d get his way with other people by apologizing or throwing a tantrum, but it didn’t seem to work with Darius. He paled, refusing to accept this.Darius started to walk away. Sean wanted to make him stay, but he knew he couldn’t say anything. Who knew whether it’d make Darius more upset? So, he had no choice but to chase after Darius.Ashley was standing at a spot that Darius had to pass by when leaving. When the two of them walked past her, Sean saw her and slapped her without hesitation, making her fall to the ground again. There were already scratch marks on her face, to begin with, and they only became more evident now that her face was swelling up. She put a hand on her face and stared at Sean with bloodshot eyes, then growled, “Sean Andelen, I’ve treated you well, haven’t I? And everyone knows about our relationship! How do you exp

“If you insist on helping her, I’ll seek help from the authorities to keep you away from me.” Darius raised an eyebrow and turned to leave. He didn’t want to waste another second here—it looked like it was almost time for the banquet. However, he had only taken one step when he felt someone grab him. He guessed that it was the old woman, and he turned to look at his sleeve. As expected, he was right.He slowly turned to face her and said, “I don’t like coming into physical contact with others, and it’s only out of the kindness of my heart that I didn’t fling you away. Now, you’ve used up all the kindness that I have.” His eyes were frosty.The old woman’s heart sank, and she let go of him before realizing what she was doing. Then, she backed away while looking at him warily. She gulped and said, “Whatever it is, it’s not right for you to be treating a woman like this, especially since she hasn’t done anything to harm you.”Darius raised an eyebrow. There was a hint of anger in his ey

“I’m sorry about this. I really want to let you finish your sentence, but we can’t allow that. If you manage to get your phone number out there, I’ll be severely punished, so I have to stop you.” The reporter’s heart raced as she snatched the microphone away from the old woman. Then, she turned and ran away as quickly as possible. Darius was her reason for coming here; he was already leaving before she could get a clear image of him. She'd be dead meat if her superiors were to get wind of this. With this thought in mind, she sped up.As Darius walked away, he heard someone running after him. He frowned and turned around, thinking it was the old woman. However, he was greeted by the sight of a young woman in a blue, checkered dress. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders in waves, and her blue eyes shone brightly.He narrowed her eyes at her dress—it was designed in a traditional Eastern style but had been changed to look more modern. In the past, it was rare for him to come across
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 378
“In the past, we’ve interviewed plenty of wealthy people. Darius is considered relatively kind and easy to speak to compared to some of the others we’ve seen. If we apologize to him and try to talk to him again, I think we’ll be able to get this interview done.”The reporter’s eyes became redder, and she whipped her head around to glare at the cameraman. “How can you say something like that? I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I apologize to him to make him happy? Are you telling me to forget about my dignity so that I can get my job done? Is there something wrong with your brain? I didn’t do anything wrong!”The cameraman didn’t expect her to get so mad; the look in her eyes was so feral that the cameraman couldn’t even think about whether she was right. He backed away, but he was a little too slow. When the reporter finished her rant, she immediately swung a hand at the cameraman. He thought she would hit him, so he leaned back to dodge her. Unexpectedly, the reporter’s atten

His look was one of disdain. “Firstly, whoever I choose to treat nicely has nothing to do with you, and you don’t have the right to question me. Secondly, you’re very ignorant.” Darius turned back to the cameraman. “You can let me know if you need help with anything. For instance, if you want to leave this TV station and find a new job.”The cameraman stiffened and gaped at him. There was no concealing the surprised look in his eyes. “Mr. Reid, are you being serious? I’m 100% willing to quit my job and work for you! When I graduated, it was my greatest wish to get a job at one of the companies under the Reid Consortium. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the skills or abilities necessary.” His voice was shaky as he said this.Darius smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “There’s no need to be so agitated; we’ll have plenty of chances to see each other from now on. Before that, there’s one thing you should know—I don’t plan on recruiting you for any of the companies under the Reid Consorti
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 380
The cameraman stiffened and gaped at Darius, not expecting this at all. He was so shocked that he didn’t even think about running after Darius. When he heard Darius starting his car, he returned to his senses and dashed toward the car. “No, I don’t need to think about it. I’ll do it! I’ll go to West Atlantics Int’l!”Darius was speechless. He couldn’t believe he’d thought the cameraman reminded him of himself. If he weren’t an enlightened martial artist, there was no way he could’ve heard his shouts. At the same time, he also heard the reporter’s footsteps. He hesitated for a few seconds and decided not to leave yet.To everyone’s surprise, the cameraman was overtaken by the reporter. She darted toward the car, slammed her hands on the hood, and glared at Darius. “Darius Reid, you’re too much! I don’t understand why you’re acting like this, so I won’t let you go!”Darius felt a headache coming on. He didn’t expect her to be so unreasonable. Was she mentally ill or something? He open

“It’s the first event you’re going to attend as my employee.”The cameraman’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect to be given such an opportunity, which was a wonderful surprise. He gulped and said, “Mr. Reid, are you being serious? Shouldn’t I undergo some training before attending this event?”Darius smiled. “Yes, you heard me right. Tonight’s banquet is meant to introduce one of the jewelry brands under my company to everyone. Of course, I don’t expect them to buy anything. My goal is for these guests to learn to admire the jewelry as they would artistic masterpieces, even if they can’t afford to buy them. I’ll consider the banquet a success if we can achieve this.”The cameraman’s jaw dropped, and he looked at Darius in shock. He’d never thought that jewelry could be used to do this, and his shock turned to admiration. Then, he was overcome with anxiety again—he’d just realized that he was in the passenger seat; Darius was driving him! He gulped and subconsciously lifted an arm to grab

There were no words in this world to describe his gratitude. His eyes were red as he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Reid. I’ll definitely take everything you said to heart and ensure my safety while…” Before he could finish, his phone started ringing.Mitchell frowned. He’d been a loner while at the TV station, so he didn’t have any friends there, and his parents knew better than to call him on his work phone. He quickly thought about all the people he knew and realized that none of them matched up. He’d hesitated for too long that it made Darius turn to look at him. “Go ahead and answer it. Whatever happens, just remember that it’s all in the past. You’re my employee now.”After saying this, he pulled over. Only then did Mitchell realize Darius had been trying to pull over for a while now but hadn’t managed to because there were too many cars. Darius unbuckled his seatbelt and smiled. “I know you need to answer the phone, so I’ll give you some space.”Mitchell’s lips parted as h

"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
