The Consortium's Heir Chapter 408
“We’re warning you—leave at once!Otherwise, we’ll have the police deal with you!” the security guards bellowed.“I look forward to when that day comes.”Darius merely smiled at them and shoved one of the security guards aside by thecollar.That was when the elevator doors opened.Many people inside wanted to get out, but they could sense the overwhelmingtension outside once the doors cracked open, so they dared not move.Darius’ gaze swept past them, and just aseveryone inside was still tremblingly fleeing the elevator, his attentionreturned to the security guards. “Someone from this place told me to comeover. Thus, I ask that you let me see him now, or I can’t guarantee whetheryou’ll end up obliterated like that security gate earlier. FT TV has committeda heinous crime—they’ve reported several pieces of fake news and distorted thetruth. Because of that, my patience for your television network has reached itslimit.” He spoke calmly but in a way that emphasized he meant ever

The lead security guard’s breathingquickened, tickling Darius’ skin. However, there was nothing malicious abouthis expression; curiosity flickered in his eyes as he asked, “Why didn’t youstop me from getting in? You and I are the only ones in this elevator, so youcan easily break the surveillance cameras and attack me if you wish. It’s clearthat I’m no match for you. There’s no doubt I’ll get defeated if you strikenow.” He stared at Darius with a complicatedwhirlwind of emotions, but the one thing he did not feel was fear. Standingopposite Darius, he kept both hands by his sides while raising his head in arelaxed manner. Darius returned the former’s stare. Soon,the elevator arrived on the 10th floor, and a smile curved on Darius’ face. “Well, I’ll have to make your expectationsa reality then.” After saying that, he extended his arm. While nothing seemed unusual about hisaction, it set off a gust of wind inside the elevator. The wind blew somightily that the lead secur

Darius added, “Since the two of you calledme over, I think it’s only fair that you both face me in dealing with theissue.”The director shot up from the couch. Hisbelly rolls bounced like jelly as he dashed toward the door. It took him lessthan a second to do so.Daisy saw everything happen, her eyesrounding with interest for the humorous scene. She knew the director hadrecently gained a lot of weight, so he never made any explosive movements. Thatwas the first time Daisy saw him doing that.When the director finally arrived at thedoor, he placed one hand on his waist while hunching over and panting. Hisbreathing was so fast that anyone would have worried he would pass out in thenext second. Standing aside, Daisy lowered her head, butit was not out of worry; she did so to hide her smile. After all, Darius hadalready opened the door, so he and the director were awkwardly staring eachother down. Daisy kept her head low and pursed her lipstautly, suppressing her laughter.

“What a joke. Have you forgotten? Youcalled and texted him in front of me, saying that you did all these thingsbecause you fell for his good looks on TV. None of this would have happened ifhe was willing to date you!” A sneer wrinkled the director’s face as hescoffed, “Besides, it seems you’ve misunderstood something—you’re not mywoman.”Darius felt so repulsed by the two thatbile gathered at the back of his throat. “If you guys called me here just to boastabout how you’ll force me into coercion, well, I can tell you this—you’repractically courting death by doing so!” he interrupted, reaching a hand up tomassage his temples. “Exterminating my foes is the last thingI’m willing to do. But now? I’m okay with it.”With that, he headed into the office andsat on the sofa, leisurely crossing one leg over the other.Meanwhile, the director and Daisy weresitting and lying flat on the ground, respectively. Both instantly widenedtheir eyes at Darius; this office was supposed to b

Darius could not even guarantee that theidiotic director could understand what he had to say, so he remained silent.Yet, he was shocked that the director viewed his silence as a sign of defeat.The director saw it as confirmation thatDarius was wearing a fake. Hence, he jutted his chin at Darius with the utmostarrogance and spoke even louder than before. “Why aren’t you responding? Is itbecause I’ve guessed correctly, and you’re now afraid?”Darius did not want to waste another breathexplaining things to the director anymore, so he merely approached the latterto emphasize, “I’m a cantankerous man, which I believe you’ve heard from othersin the past few days. However, what shocks me is that you insist on upsettingme.”As he shook his head, he cracked hisknuckles, letting out a crisp and chilling sound.Upon hearing that, the director’s kneesgave in. He plopped onto the ground while locking eyes with Darius and gulpingnervously. He dared not speak anymore as he could tell Da

“You’re clearly an unknown brat. I don’tknow how you won the hearts of your little family and got them to buy you thatexpensive watch, but let me tell you this! If I were you, I’d return the watchor at least gift it to someone else to gain benefits for my family!” thedirector bossed.“What you just said is very contradictory.Earlier, you claimed my watch was a counterfeit. However, now you’re saying myfamily gifted me the real deal.” Darius cocked a brow. He spoke so calmly thateveryone could hear the lingering threat in his tone. It did not take a genius to tell he was ina foul mood at that point. Sighing, Darius balled his fist and cracked hisknuckle again. However, this time, he followed up by bending over, reachingout, and raising the overweight director with one arm. He thundered, “You said I never did a DNAtest to prove my blood relation before reuniting with my family, didn’t you?”The director felt as if an invisible forcehad locked his neck in place. He wanted t

“There’s also the guy at the company’s mainentrance who oversees all our security personnel!” At that thought, all thehairs down the director’s back straightened.Standing opposite the former, Dariusquirked a brow and remarked, “That’s an odd reaction. You’re radiating terror,but I can’t imagine why. Need I remind you that you asked me to come here? Ithought you’d at least be mentally prepared to face the consequences once Iarrive.”The director’s jaw fell open for thelongest time. At some point, the director snapped to his senses and pleaded,“I-I’m sorry! I’m more than willing to relay your request to my superiors—Iswear I am, but I can’t do it because I might lose my job. After all, thecompany doesn’t belong to one person, and we’re also a television network…” He gulped and stared at the ground aftersaying that. The cogs in his brain turned rapidly, recalling everything aboutDarius that he had learned from Daisy earlier. The director fell deep inthought, hoping to conv

Darius raised a brow, recognizing the leadsecurity guard because they had taken the elevator together earlier. He calmlycommented, “You look better in this suit than in your security guard uniformfrom before.” The former’s reaction was abnormally calmdespite seeing the lead security guard, who would have earned only 2500 dollarsa month, change into an expensive suit. That transformation indicated the guardwas, in reality, someone higher in status and was responsible for distributingthe other employees’ paychecks.Because Darius was collected, the leadsecurity could not hold back his emotions. His brows raised to the top of hisforehead in shock as he smiled at Darius. “You don’t seem surprised by thereveal of my true identity. Did you already find out beforehand?”Upon hearing that, Darius, who was about totake a step forward, stopped moving. The elevator doors’ threshold was the onlything standing between him and the lead security guard. He raised a brow, replying, “Of

"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
