The Consortium's Heir Chapter 777
"You're a bad person who deserves to be flushed down the drain…" The rest of the young man's sentence was muffled by a hand being slapped over his mouth—the figure in black did it. Then, his gaze traveled between Darius and the young man before sighing. His attitude surprised Darius, but Darius didn't want to waste any more time there. He headed toward the dean's office.When he arrived, he saw Henry standing there, his hands behind his back, sighing with every step he took. When he saw Darius, he said, "I wanted to apologize to you about some of the things we've done—they're not good, but you should know that we didn't intend for things to turn out like this." He looked at Darius nervously.Darius raised an eyebrow and sat on the couch, crossing his legs at the knee. Then, he said, "It looks like Kingston University has no choice but to merge with another university."Henry turned to face him. "Yes, that's right. You should know that Kingston University has its own board of directors

There were many emotions in their eyes, but none were positive. Darius softened his expression at the sight of them, and he smiled before nodding respectfully at them. "Professors, I'm Darius Reid, and I'm here to cancel the rest of my time off. Also, I'm here to pick a new advisor because my previous one, Professor Plinsky, is indisposed." With that, he stood up straight and gazed at the professors. Unexpectedly, most of them no longer looked hostile. His smile widened—this was a good sign. Then, he noticed that whichever professor his gaze landed on would avert their gaze and avoid meeting his eyes.Darius' smile turned mocking, and he glanced at Henry, who instantly felt a chill run down his spine. Henry cleared his throat and said to the professors menacingly, "What's with your attitude? Darius has already proved his innocence in the previous incident, hasn't he? Are you afraid of him because you're worried he'll dig up whatever wrongdoings you've committed in the past?"The profe

Now, Darius could sense the kindness in Owen beneath his tough exterior, which was the complete opposite of before. As he pondered this, the office door swung open again to reveal many people crowded at the entrance, all eavesdropping on their conversation. They wanted to know how Owen would've treated Darius—he was known for having a fiery temper. Moreover, he was strict and serious when it came to academics. No one could get off easily under his watchful eye.Darius, on the other hand, wasn't a good student in the traditional sense of the word. Yes, he had always been diligent in class and completed his assignments, but that was when he was poor. Now, he was wealthy, and he'd disappeared from campus for a long while shortly after that. So, everyone was curious to know what would happen between him and Owen. As someone who'd been colleagues with these people for many years, Owen immediately understood why the other professors were crowded around the door. An ugly look crept onto hi

"Look at you—you're a sorry excuse for a human, using your fortune to beg others to befriend you!" The woman berated Darius without pausing for breath, but he didn't seem bothered by this. He stood there, quietly listening to her. In his eyes, the woman was insane.Owen, on the other hand, wasn't as cool and collected. His breathing sped up, and he trembled with rage as he glared at her. "As a professor, how can you attack a student like that?" That was all he managed to say."Am I wrong?" screeched the woman. "Do you think Darius is an angel? If he were, he wouldn't have had his security guards drive my father away without hearing him out! And if the security guards hadn't chased my father away, he wouldn't have gotten rammed by a car!"Owen asked with a frown, "Did the security guards push your father in front of that car?"The woman faltered, then shook her head. "No.""Then what does that have to do with Darius?"The woman's gaze turned contemptuous. "It has everything to do with
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 781
The woman, whose eyes were bloodshot, stared at Darius in despair as she lay on the floor, panting anxiously. All Darius did was smile at her before straightening up. He didn't push her because he knew she didn't have answers to most of his questions. With that thought in mind, he turned and left the office without hesitation. Owen watched him, then sighed and followed him. He told Darius, "Once upon a time, I was also jealous of Professor Plinsky for having such an excellent student. This was before you became my student, of course." Darius slowed down and stopped but didn't say anything. Owen continued, "No matter what happened in the past, know that you've come out on top and become an outstanding person. I hope your attitude toward your education doesn't change in the future."Darius nodded, to which Owen smiled. "Alright, that's all I have to say. Go and do what you have to, but remember to come for class tomorrow." With that, Owen returned to the office, putting his hands behin

After some thought, Darius concluded his current apartment was a little on the smaller side. He figured he probably need a four-story house to accommodate all of them. Though the Dragon Estate was luxurious and provided excellent service, it was a little far from campus. Besides, he was about to start his internship soon and needed to get a new place anyway. At this thought, he sighed.Pearl stood beside him, watching him carefully. "You might've agreed to me moving in with you, but you don't seem to be too happy now."As her words fell, Darius held up a finger and wagged it. "No, you need to get your facts right. I didn't agree to you moving in with me; I only agreed to let you stay in my house. That's all."Pearl blushed at his words, then waved her hands vigorously. "No, that's not what I meant! The words came out wrong."Darius chuckled and said, "Alright, that's enough joking." He put his hands behind his back and exhaled. "My apartment, the Dragon Estate, isn't large enough to

Pearl followed Darius into the realtor's office. His car was luxurious enough to attract attention, so all eyes were on them as they walked in. Almost as soon as they stepped inside, Darius was surrounded by sales girls. "Sir, the units in Zone A are under my care, and it has the best environment in this whole development," said one of them.Another piped up, "Yeah, right! Your units are right beside a stinky sewage line. Have you seen the number of pests around there?" She turned to Darius with a smile. "Now, the units under my care are right next to the neighborhood's management office. You don't have to worry about your safety at all."Darius sighed at the squabbling. He waved a hand and said, "I think I'd like some peace and quiet for now, thanks." Before he could continue, Pearl said, "Our employer has yet to decide which area he's interested in, so we still need to walk around and take a closer look before reporting to him." Darius raised an eyebrow at this, then smiled when th

The man didn't know what Darius meant but knew that his smile was creeping him out. He cried, "I'll have you know that my family's one of the most prominent in Ashweir City. You've humiliated me, and I'm furious right now! Do you want to appease me?"Darius resisted the urge to burst into laughter when he saw the man's forced bravado. He nodded and said, "Of course."The man lifted two fingers. "Firstly, take your foot off me. Secondly, give the beauty beside you to me. Regardless of whatever's happened between you two, I'll still welcome her into my arms!" He looked at Darius. "What say you? Simple enough, right?"Darius' smile widened. "Very simple, in fact. But I'm gonna say no."Floyd Davis stiffened. Then, he roared, "You've crossed the line! Who are you? Tell me your name! I swear I'll make you disappear from Ashweir City!" He wriggled around in agitation.Darius smiled. "I can tell you who I am, but before that, I want you to stop wriggling. It annoys me, and I don't think you

"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
