The Consortium's Heir Chapter 453
“I want Darius dead, and he knows this. Thus, regardless of whether I actually do anything, Darius will do everything he can to start trouble with me. If that happens, I’ll still be as good as dead, so I’d rather meet up with him now and take matters into my own hands.”With that thought, Wilson balled his fists tautly, shut his eyes, and steadied his rapid breathing.…At the hotel, Darius’ reaction was different; he was utterly relaxed after responding to the text. He sat on the sofa, crossed one leg over the other, and leisurely sipped his coffee. Glancing at his hotel room’s door, he knew four people were waiting to see him, so he announced, “You guys may enter.”The four then formed a neat line before him, and he glanced at the two who stood in the middle. One was his senior from university, while the other was his newly gained follower with a heavily tattooed arm. He shot a look at the latter just then.That immediately prompted Travis to step forward, his eyes lighting up with

“You look weak. I think you should turn around and flee now. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee whether you’ll get hurt,” said one of the tattooed men with his hands on his waist. He and his comrades jutted their chins arrogantly at Bridget, leering at her as if she were nothing more than entertainment. However, deep down, they were excited to see what a weak girl like her could do in a brawl and thought she was an easy opponent to defeat. Although not a word came from Bridget, the men’s impression of her vanished while their faces contorted with fear.That was because Bridget had made her first move, refreshing their memories of what had happened earlier when she vanished into thin air and reappeared to kill someone. Like before, she traveled nearly 35 feet across the lobby before the men could blink. On top of that, her hands somehow snaked around one of the men’s necks and ended him. The same thing happened less than two hours ago, yet the men had somehow forgotten about it entirely. N

While saying that, Travis shot an intentional stare at Ansel. Little did he expect Darius would raise a brow and chuckle at his words. It was the first time Darius had laughed since Travis started working for the former. However, seeing Darius so genuinely entertained made Travus more anxious. He wondered if he had accidentally said something wrong. Gulping, he clarified in a small voice, “I think I might be stronger than Ansel when it comes to combat power.”Nothing changed on Darius’ face. In fact, his smile even deepened as he nodded at the former’s comparison. “That may be true. Perhaps you could have a heart-to-heart with Ansel when we get off this car.”That was when Ansel’s head whipped to the side as he scrutinized every inch of Travis, sizing the latter up. In truth, he had some martial arts skills but had always thought he was an average martial artist. Yet, upon seeing Darius’ current reaction, Ansel wondered if he had underestimated himself. It seemed like Darius was hin

Wilson leaned his upper body close to Darius, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. Sadly, the second half of Darius’ words instantly let him down. “I’ve given you many chances, but you didn’t cherish them. Not only that, but you wasted my tolerance and forgiveness by contacting people who could kill me when I gave you time to investigate the market.”He lightly tapped the table and added, “The only reason you’re begging me for mercy now is that no one is willing to help you. Those guys have already died at this point.”Wilson shot a quivering stare at Darius just then. He assumed he had hidden his plan well, but to his dismay, Darius was more than aware of it this entire time. Parting his lips, he wanted to say something to save his ass, but not a single word came out of his mouth.The two then sat in silence for the longest time. It continued until Darius picked up another one of the many coffee mugs on the table and brought it to his lips. That was when Wilson abruptly laughed and

Darius’ appalled gaze shot up at Uriah. “I didn’t expect you to open the car door. Although, if I were you, I’d go to the crime scene to gather the evidence before anyone destroys it.” Lips twitching, Uriah found Darius odd and wondered what on earth the latter was planning. Uriah had always believed he was an intelligent man who could see through many criminals’ minds. Yet, at that moment, he realized he had overestimated himself all these years. He could not read Darius’ mind. Then again, perhaps it was because the criminals Uriah had previously dealt with had simple mindsets, while Darius was the first capable and clever person Uriah had ever encountered. Several minutes passed as he fell deep into confusion. Eventually, Darius could not stand the silence anymore. He extended his leg out of the car but kept his upper body in place. Then, Darius hooked the bottom of the car door to pull it inward, grabbing the handle and slamming it shut. The difference was that Darius had not

Being an enlightened martial artist, Darius could easily detect he was the reason behind the blond officer’s rage. It seemed that things were turning out as Darius had expected.The blond officer’s fist balled as he shot a venomous glare at Darius. “You’re so fucking loathsome, acting all righteous when you’re the real murderer in this situation! It’s your fault that a poor man, whose wealth you stole, died! Yet, that still didn’t satiate you—you even got your subordinates to pick on that unfortunate waiter working for the late Wilson! So what if there was a conflict between you and Wilson, and Wilson wasn’t entirely innocent? That waiter, his subordinate, is innocent in this matter!”Darius frowned, sighing deeply upon learning that was why the officer had tried to punch him earlier. He mustered his last bit of patience to ask, “Did you not hear what your leading officer on this case said? That he saw the cafe’s ‘innocent’ waiter destroying the evidence?”The blond officer’s face bla

The driver sighed deeply, placing his hand on his heart and patting it a few times before starting the engine again.However, the blond officer did not stop there. His gaze pierced through the driver as he snarled, “I’ve always admired you because you’re my senior, and you’re much older than me. However, you’ve let me down. I bet you’re only cutting our current suspect slack because he’s rich and influential. Does money matter that much? Is a simple bribe enough for you to sacrifice your beliefs as a cop?”He exhaled for the longest time, then turned to shoot a vicious sneer at Darius. “Although I don’t know how you knocked my colleague unconscious, I’m pleased you did it because you’ve basically reinforced your status as a criminal.”Darius nodded before shrugging. “Then, shall I do it to you too?” The blond officer’s eyes widened, and he quickly reached his arms behind his back in defense. Unfortunately, Darius was an enlightened martial artist, so no matter how fast the officer mo

Darius let out a long exhale, gradually opened his eyes, and said, “Your entire police unit’s carelessness and interference eliminated any chances my subordinates had at finding evidence to prove my innocence. Not only that, but because of you guys, that waiter destroyed every last shred of evidence before you could even see it. On top of that, your subordinates randomly attacked me on the car ride and even insulted me. The fact that they’re still alive is because I was the bigger person and kept my temper in check.” His eyes darkened while he cocked a brow at Uriah.It was a look that Uriah desperately wanted to avoid, but he could not at that moment. All he could do was clench his jaw and bow, saying, “I apologize on behalf of my subordinates for their wrongful actions, and I promise they’ll pay for what they did. Please trust my words and let him off the hook this once.”Darius shook his head in response. “I have nothing against you, even if the way you view and treat me is no lon

"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
