The Consortium's Heir Chapter 436
Darius raised an eyebrow, not expecting to run into someone with such a mindset in a place like this. After hesitating for a few seconds, he repeated the young man’s last sentence.The young man immediately smiled when he heard this and looked up at the dark-suited board member. Then, his mind processed what had happened, and his expression turned into shock, doubt, anger, and disbelief. He turned to look at Darius. At the same time, he stumbled backward, pressed one hand to his chest, and pointed the other at Darius. “You… why do I feel like you’re trying to frame me? There’s no bad blood between us, is there? Why are you doing this to me?”Darius chuckled. He was about to say something in response when the young man shouted, “No, don’t answer me! Just swipe your card and repay my master whatever you owe him.” Then, he ran over to the dark-suited board member and tugged his sleeve. He said seriously, “Sir, I didn’t do anything. You’re a witness to everything I’ve done since steppin
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 437
All he knew was that he’d suddenly lost his balance while watching things play out, and he’d stumbled in Darius’ direction. In that instant, he thought, “I’m dead meat.” He watched as the distance between him and Darius shortened, but he didn’t think it was something worth being happy over. Then, something flashed before him, and there was now nothing between him and the floor. He relaxed and let himself fall to the floor with a loud crash.The dark-suited board member’s eyes twitched at the loud thud, and he looked up at Darius. “Mr. Reid, Timmy may not be the smartest, but he’s strong. He’s been by my side since he was a child; he may have just been there to practice martial arts with me, but he’s put plenty of effort into his training. He’s not the best, but he’ll probably be of a little more use than a normal employee.”His gaze was now calm and settled. “Everything that’s happened today just shows how much of a loser I am, which means I’m no longer in the running to become my fa

Darius heard someone’s phone vibrate, and he turned to look at the other board members. He smiled when he saw them sitting there silently with their backs straight. “Now that we’ve taken care of everything, you can leave if you want to.” He grabbed the contract, then strode out of the conference room. Now, he owned 94.5% of FT TV’s shares, meaning his opinion was the only one that mattered here. That wasn’t his style, however.When he stepped out of the conference room and saw the numerous gazes trained on him, he knew what was up. They’d all heard about what had happened in the room. This was one of the main reasons he’d insisted on getting the dark-suited board member’s shares—before the meeting, he’d already sensed the eyes and ears on them.It was a shock. To him, this wasn’t something a normal company would allow, but a TV station had allowed word to get out. And that was why everyone already knew about what happened. Darius believed that the other TV stations would already be

Bridget’s eyes widened. Then, she nodded. “I understand, sir. I think you should get ready for the authorities’ arrival—there’s probably going to be a tough battle when they get here. This battle will establish our status in Almiron City for a long time to come.” She looked at Darius seriously.“Yeah.” He sat down, crossed his legs at the knee, and frowned. “I know what you’re worried about, and you’re right to be worried.” He gave her a thumbs up. “You’re very smart, and it’s very likely your prediction will come true… if the official that comes isn’t the smartest.”Darius narrowed his eyes, then said, “Well, I hope that doesn’t happen. Otherwise, the whole of Almiron City will end up in chaos.” His voice was soft, but it still made Bridget shudder. She turned to look out the window, then turned back, pulled her phone out, and checked the time. She said, “Mr. Reid, I called the authorities when I was at the entrance. Their office is only three streets away from here, so they should

Darius raised an eyebrow and looked at the official with surprise. He didn’t expect him to be so blunt, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He liked people like him, so he nodded decisively. “Sure. I’d be glad to invest in an orderly and lawful city.” As he spoke, he got to his feet and turned to look at Bridget. “I think I can entrust this to you.”She didn’t say a word, but her frown was enough to show her displeasure. Darius saw this, but he didn’t allow her to reject him. “You should know that with Zack’s disappearance and Erin’s departure, there aren’t many people left that I can trust. This is a key part of my plan, and it means a lot to Almiron City—I need someone I can trust wholeheartedly to handle it.”Bridget knew what he was getting at and understood that this wasn’t something she could turn down. Her brows were still furrowed, but she nodded. Then, she turned to look at the official and said, “Hello, my name’s Bridget Manson. I’m Mr. Reid’s bodyguard.”The off

“At the same time, this means that I won’t allow anyone to question my decisions. I need you to set up a proper regulatory framework instead of allowing this mess to continue. Your actions worry me, and I have to reconsider our cooperation. In the meantime, I want you to arrest these people who’ve broken the federation’s laws.” Darius turned to leave without another look at the official.To his surprise, the petite woman didn’t intend to let him leave. She shouted, “What right do you have to act so high and mighty? You might be wealthy, but it’s not like you’re the one who amassed such a massive fortune! Once Almiron City’s government is established, you’ll definitely regret this!”Darius stopped, and the official paled. He waved his hands anxiously when Darius turned to look at him, saying, “No, we don’t mean that. Rest assured that we’ll never go against the law, not even when Almiron City’s government is as powerful as the other cities. Please, you have to believe me; we’ve never w
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 442
The people who’d been secretly trying to send the updates on the situation at FT TV to other TV stations were rounded up, cuffed, and led out of the building. At this moment, Priscilla started acting up again.When her gaze landed on one of the cuffed men, she stiffened, and her eyes widened. Then, she turned to look at Darius.Uriah was sensitive enough to his surroundings that he immediately noticed this. He didn’t know what was happening, but he still kept a tight grip on Priscilla’s arm. Then, he turned to look at the men they were leading out of the building. He scrutinized their faces, then frowned—he didn’t recognize any of them, but this didn’t seem to be the case for Priscilla.This had never happened in the past. Priscilla didn’t have the chance to meet anyone new, so this wasn’t a situation he was used to being in. He lowered his voice, but everyone still heard him ask, “What’s going on? Why are you so agitated? Don’t you know these people have broken the law?”There was a
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 443
He had a bad feeling about this. Lo and behold, he was right—as he looked around, he saw that Priscilla had almost reached Darius. As she lunged at him, she heard him lazily say, “Don’t move.”Bridget frowned and looked at Darius worriedly. This didn’t seem to have any effect on Darius, though. He merely looked like he was enjoying the show, and she suddenly realized that he was excited to see what would happen next. So, she crossed her arms, waiting to see how things would play out.Everyone thought Darius was Priscilla’s target, and this included Darius himself. However, they were wrong. Priscilla was aiming for the man standing behind him. Darius raised an eyebrow, looking at Uriah curiously. Once Priscilla discovered people were getting arrested, she hadn’t even spared Uriah a glance.Perhaps the pity in his eyes was too obvious—Uriah’s face darkened. Darius didn’t say anything else at this and turned to look at the people behind him. He had to admit that Uriah’s men weren’t half

"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
