The Consortium's Heir Chapter 414
“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

Darius took one step forward, turned toface ahead, and entered the conference room. The lead security guard froze with a blanklook. It took a long time before he snapped to his senses, rushing up to Dariuswhile his eyes darted around the space. Then, he smiled warmly at Darius and said,“Before we assign FT TV’s new successor, I’ll serve you to the best of myabilities. That’s pretty much how things will go. In any case, I’m more thanhappy to be at your service.”A frown briefly appeared on Darius’ face,but he did not say a word since he knew the lead security guard beside him wastelling the truth—those were the security guard’s genuine thoughts. However, that was unnecessary to Darius,who only hoped to gather the television network company’s higher-ups into theconference room at once; only then could he relax and do what he wanted. Eventhough he felt anxious, he did not show it; even the muscles on his face wererelaxed the entire time. No dangerous or threatening powers

“As you wish, then. I’ll gather the otherboard of directors to begin the meeting. I’ve already informed them earlierthrough my laptop, but they ignored me—they’ve never taken me seriously.There’s also the troublesome business manager I previously recruited. AlthoughI’m unwilling to admit it, there’s no denying my lack of ability to manage thistelevision network. Likewise, my indifference allowed the employees to doterrible things as they pleased.” Then, he walked away with his head hunglow. Disappointment weighed his shoulders down as he had once spent a lot ofenergy on running FT TV. Yet, these days, all he could do was sit at thetelevision network’s main entrance and filter through which guests were herewith bad intentions. To make things worse, he now had no choice but to handover FT TV to Darius.Still sitting on the chair, Darius couldtell the former’s every word was sincere. He mused, “Those are indeed hissentiments. It seems he’s genuinely regretting his past fail

Darius knew the lead security guard wasfurious at the other students’ prejudice and could blow up any time. An amusedgrin curled on Darius’ face as he shook his head and said, “That’s because Ididn’t know I was the heir to a wealthy family back then. The poverty Iexperienced was very much real—it was so bad that I dared not eat until I wasfull for every meal, fearing that I’d run out of money.”He had spoken so calmly, but his wordstouched the lead security guard, whose eyes reddened. Thus, Darius smiledhelplessly, straightened his back, and walked to the lead security guard. Hethen gave a comforting squeeze to the latter’s shoulder.“There’s no need to feel emotional for mebecause I don’t think anything I’ve done in the past was worth crying over,” hesaid while smiling brightly.That only made the lead security guard feeleven more pity for Darius. However, he did not want to put Darius in an awkwardposition, so he wiped his eyes, smiled, and nodded. “Okay, I get what you

He calmed down,and his mind started to work again. He didn’t know whether Darius was tellingthe truth because of how expressionless he was. It was the complete opposite ofhow psychological textbooks described a person who was supposed to be excited.As an actor, thelead security guard had once taken a psychology class to portray his charactermore realistically. And so, he trusted the textbook to be right. He looked atDarius and tried to read him.Darius knew whathe was up to, but he didn’t respond. After a few more seconds of silence, hesaid, “I want to know the reason for your disappearance. My gut tells me it’salso why you became a security guard here. I’ll eventually deal with thesepeople, so there’s no point in you hiding the truth. If you want to continuebeing a successful person with a successful career, these people will onlybecome obstacles to you—just like what happened back then. However, I can’t besure that they’ll be kind enough to leave you alive this time.”

“He also has alot of socially unacceptable thoughts. In the beginning, things didn’t go wellfor him because his actions caused people to fear him. As time passed, peoplestarted to forget, and under my father’s watchful eye, he became more and morelike a normal child—one that was great at bringing joy to others.” The leadsecurity guard looked at Darius seriously. “You have tobelieve me. I’ve told countless people about this, but none of them believedme. I’m telling the truth!” His voice trembled with agitation.Darius nodded andpatted him on the shoulder. “Calm down. I know Felix; he died after jumping outof my office window. It’s all over the internet, and the authorities questionedme about it. He’s already dead, so you have nothing to worry about.”The lead securityguard lowered his head, not wanting Darius to see how out of control hisemotions were. Darius looked at him and sighed when he sensed his emotions. Hestood up and said, “I think we can end things here now.”T

And that was whyhe was here. This was his only chance. He’d originally been the richest man inAlmiron City, but Darius had easily taken that all away from him. This meantthat none of the other affluent families in Almiron City could help him becausethey didn’t stand a chance against Darius.Wilson had beentrying to decide between starting over in a new place before returning to getrevenge and letting go. Though he’d only just heard of the Reid family anddidn’t know much about it, he clearly understood it was wealthy and influentialenough to have eyes and ears in many different cities. This meant the Reidfamily was even more terrifying than he imagined.At this verymoment, Darius was seated in his office as he thought about the lead securityguard’s father’s company. The lead security guard had already left the room,but he suddenly returned. He hurried into the room and quickly shut the door.His sneakiness made Darius raise an eyebrow and look at him curiously—he lookedlik

"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
