The Consortium's Heir Chapter 466
Darius scrutinized each of them but kept a gentle tone and asked, “May I know why you guys are looking for me?” The hospital director’s brows furrowed. Still, he mustered all his courage to lock eyes with Darius before boldly exclaiming, “That guy in your arms has many unpaid medical bills, so he owes this hospital a lot of money!”While speaking, the director examined Darius like he was testing the waters. In truth, he was hesitant about confronting Darius as he was unsure whether Darius could cover the expensive medical bills. Nevertheless, he needed to take his shot for the hospital’s sake. Much to his surprise, Darius nodded.It was almost as if dollar bills appeared in the director’s eyes. He grinned from ear to ear but suddenly spoke more arrogantly. Raising one finger at a time, he said to Darius, “Firstly, no one has paid his hospitalization fee for the month that he’s stayed here. That, and his medical fees, require payments.”“A month?” Darius cocked a brow, his once polit

“Who’s to say those aren’t clothes you bought from a random unknown shop? Not to mention, you’ve only acted unreasonably since stepping into the hospital! You must now do as the law says and pay your outstanding bills before leaving! Alternatively, you could go back to your hotel and gather some money before returning for the patient. Either way, I’d advise against digging up every last coin you have to pay the bills in one go, as you’ll end up a pauper.” While saying that, the director smirked.A faint growl came from Darius as he sighed. Pivoting on his heel, he then ordered, “Edward!”It did not take long for Edward to fetch a wheelchair over.Once Darius gingerly placed Zack onto the wheelchair, he straightened his back and waved dismissively. “Get Zack out of here.”Edward stiffened, his brows knitting while he did not do as told. He merely stood by Darius’ side in silence. He held his ground, not wanting to leave, despite knowing he would get punished when all of this was over.

Black cards were often custom luxury credit cards that banks issued to exclusive customers. Many could only dream of owning such a card, and based on what the director knew, no more than ten wealthy families across the country were rich enough to have their family monograms engraved on their bank cards. Not to mention, none of those affluent families were from Almiron City. “Crap! I’m in deep shit now,” the director thought, his face paling like a ghost while his lips trembled. He then shot a trembling look at Darius and did not hesitate to get on his knees to beg for mercy. Tears soon gathered in his eyes as he pleaded, “I know I’ve made a grave mistake by offending you. I was wrong. You aren’t an arrogant nouveau riche, and the aura you give off is nothing like the sort! I was only blabbering nonsense. Please forgive me, I-I…”His eyes darted around, searching for the perfect solution to gain Darius’ forgiveness. Meanwhile, Darius kept his hands behind his back, and his glare wa

Darius looked scornful. “I’ve treated you with kindness and patience, but all you’ve done is disappoint me.” His eyes turned cold. “You must’ve heard what I said, seeing as you managed to immediately lay your eyes on me.”Samantha didn’t know what he was getting at. She shook her head and looked at him disdainfully. “Yes, I heard everything you said, but so what? Are you going to harm me? It’s too bad I know for a fact that you don’t have the nerve to do anything. Otherwise, you would’ve made your move ages ago. Also, you’re so crazed for money that you’ve forgiven me time and time again because of my father’s wealth.”Darius raised an eyebrow, surprised by her candor. He hadn’t expected her to convey her thoughts so bluntly. Obviously, she thought the worst thing that could happen was that there’d be some sort of monetary loss. Unfortunately, she didn’t know losing money was the most inconsequential outcome. He smiled and shook his head. “I hate to say this, but you’re dumber than I
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 470
“You can’t treat me like this. My father has been your business partner for a long time, and he’s been extremely kind to you.”Darius shrugged. “You’re right. I’d be glad to continue working with him if he’s okay with it.” He sounded like he was talking about the weather.Samantha wasn’t half as calm as he was. She looked at him with bloodshot eyes and said, “Cut the crap! I don’t believe for a second that my father will continue working with you if you lay a finger on me! You’d better pray he doesn’t skin you alive!” Now that she was sure Darius wouldn’t forgive her, she didn’t bother playing nice.Darius looked at her mockingly. “You know, I thought you’d become smarter and learn a thing or two after working for a few years, but you’ve actually become dumber than before.” He walked toward her, and she trembled violently at the murderous intent in his eyes. She knew this matter wouldn’t be easily resolved and needed to think of a way to get out of this. However, it was too late. Da

Edward nodded. “Yes, but he’s not the smartest either. I would’ve immediately taken credit for treating Zack if I were him. Also, I would’ve chosen to continue treating him without charging anything.”Darius raised an eyebrow. Then, he looked at Zack with a smile. Zack didn’t know the reason for the smile, and he was puzzled. He wanted to ask what was happening but remained silent in the end.Darius shook his head, still smiling. “You’ve forgotten about something important—many people were watching Zack in the hospital, and there’s a chance they haven’t paid a single cent. Perhaps the hospital director didn’t dare to ask them to pay their medical bills, so he chose to push their bills to me instead.” His smile grew. “I didn’t sense any greed from the hospital director, but I did sense some slyness. Whatever it is, he’s not an angel.” He was probably in a great mood. Although he was talking about something unpleasant, he wasn’t angry. Zack’s eyes were trained on him from the backseat
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 472
Michael didn’t say anything. He knew Darius was telling the truth—there was no way to push the blame on Darius, no matter how one looked at it. Samantha was the cause of this whole mess. After a long silence, he sighed. “I know this is all my daughter’s fault, but I still have to defend her. If you insist on punishing her, the only thing I can do is throw every cent the Williams family has into going against you.” He hung up after saying this, no longer possessing the strength to keep the conversation going.He sat stiffly on the sofa, shrouded in darkness in the Williams family villa. The butler appeared beside him, bowed his head, and said, “Sir, I think we’ll need to prepare to face Darius.”Michael nodded. “You’re right, but I don’t know what we should do.”The butler sighed. “The risk of failure is too high. We have to come up with a contingency plan. For instance, we should send Miss Samantha away as quickly as possible.”Michael’s heart started to race at his words. He frowned

“I’m sure you’ve already witnessed firsthand how dangerous it is to be by my side. You can stay with me and face the danger, but Zack can’t. He’s just a normal employee of West Atlantics Int’l.”Edward frowned. He already knew what Darius was getting at, but he didn’t want to accept it. He turned to look at Zack and saw that he was still asleep. His frustration grew, and he reached out, wanting to shake Zack awake. Ultimately, the remnants of his rationality stopped him from doing so.Darius sensed the shift in his emotions, but he’d already guessed what Edward would do. He smiled and shook his head silently.Soon, they arrived at the hotel. There were about sixty yards between the hotel’s main entrance and its gates, and it was filled with people. Darius sighed. He didn’t even need to ask to know what had happened here, and he watched them grimly.When Edward saw the look on Darius’ face, he immediately knew what Darius wanted to do. So, he got out of the car and hurried to the oppo

"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
