The following days were peaceful for Darius. Helen still refused to pick his phone calls or reply his texts, leaving Darius at a loss on what to do. Since the matter with Luke had been settled, he then focused on his studies. The second semester exams were fast approaching and he needed to pass effortlessly.After two weeks of intense studying and preparation, the semester exams came to a conclusion. As expected, Darius was the best student in the exams when the result came out. Darius had an apathetic response to that. He had always emerged as the best student in all the exams he had taken since he got admitted to Kingston University, so this time wasn’t any different to him.Now that the exams were over, the students were given a two months break, before they resumed school for the next semester. This meant that when school resumed for the next session Darius would be in his final year of study.The whole student body was bustling with excitement after seeing their results. Majority

Darius let out a helpless sigh at his grandfather’s words before sending the company’s address to his grandfather’s e-mail. There was nothing he could do than to obey his grandfather’s wishes.He quickly exited the conference room with Erin following closely behind. He rushed downstairs and stood at the entrance to the building to wait for his grandfather.Just thirty minutes after he sent the company’s address to his grandfather, three beautiful white Rolls-Royce cars pulled up outside the company’s building.The bodyguards who escorted his grandfather alighted from the Rolls-Royce cars and opened the door to a Rolls-Royce car. His grandfather and Bruce then alighted from the car slowly.The bodyguards quickly surrounded his grandfather and Bruce, providing them maximum security from any security threats.Darius quickly walked over to his grandfather and greeted in a polite voice.“Grandfather! You didn’t really need to come over here!”However his grandfather just waved off his gree

“I can only give you the capital to start up your company under one condition.” Darius’ grandfather declared in an authoritative tone.Darius gulped slowly at that, but braced himself to ask the condition.“What condition, grandfather?” Darius asked tentatively.“You have to make a profit of five times the original capital I give you in one year.” His grandfather answered domineeringly.Darius eyes widened in surprise at his grandfather’s condition.He had to make five times the original capital in a single year?!That was a very tall condition; especially for him!Darius had only little experience which was gained only after managing a few assets like Nix Inc. and other businesses for a few months. Even at that, he had not made five times the profit they usually earned.Darius was feeling very unpleasant at that moment, but he forced himself to calm down. He had not yet known how much his grandfather was willing to give him as capital. Hopefully it won’t be a very large sum. If it wa

The caller was Helen!It had been close to two weeks since Darius rescued Helen from Luke’s vile actions. After taking her to her dorm, she kissed him on the lips and ran off before he could even react.After that day, he had tried to get in touch with her; not because of the kiss, but because he wanted to know if she was doing alright as he guessed that she might have gotten a huge scare.Contrary to his expectations, Helen refused to pick any of his calls at all! Not only that, she totally refused any meeting with him at all, leaving Darius at a total loss on what to do. She was completely avoiding him.Darius had no choice but to leave her for the time being. He had no idea why she was avoiding him, but he respected her choice. He still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn’t spend his whole time thinking about Helen’s refusal to meet with him.Therefore one could imagine how surprised he was when he saw that the caller was Helen. He did not expect her to contact him so soon.“He

Darius frowned slightly at Erin’s words as he wasn’t expecting a visitor anytime soon. However since this person had come to see him, he figured that he should entertain the person.“Let the visitor in.” Darius said.Erin nodded in agreement before exiting the office. Seconds later, the door to the office pushed open and a man stepped in, with Erin following suit.One look at the man showed that the man was an ordinary business man. He was dressed in a worn out black suit that had several patches on it, and his shoes were equally worn out. Even though Darius was sure that he was middle aged, the wrinkles on his face made him seem way older than he actually was.“Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Mr. Reid!” the man greeted in a very polite voice. He even gave a light bow as he spoke.Darius merely smiled in response to his greetings. He had seen his outfit and knew that he was an ordinary, or perhaps even a struggling business man, but there was no scorn in his expression. He rec

“I’ll give you a call soon, Mr. Zack.” Darius said. In the end, he could not just employ a complete stranger. He needed to do some research and make sure that Zack was a trustworthy person before he employed him.“Certainly Mr. Reid.” Zack replied. He had a dejected expression on his face, but still made sure to be polite to Darius. Although Darius didn’t accept him, he didn’t outrightly reject him either. He could only wait for his phone call. If he didn’t receive any phone call from Darius after a week, then he would ask for investments.Zack bowed lightly again before exiting Darius’ office. When he left, Darius motioned to Erin. Erin naturally understood what her superior wanted, so she nodded in response. He wanted her to research about Zack and see if he was trustworthy. If he was, then there was no harm in employing him.As soon as Erin left his office to fulfill that task, his phone rang once more. Darius checked the caller ID and saw that it was Bruce. He quickly answered the

[Dragon Estate, Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence]Darius woke up later than usual. He had worked late into the morning the previous day, which was the reason he woke up later than usual. Fortunately, he was able to complete all of his work because of his all nighter.By the time he woke up, it was already mid noon. He then performed his morning routines which included his martial arts and meditated.As Darius practiced his martial arts, he noticed that his moves were even more fluid than before. It was as if they got better and more powerful with each practice routine, leaving Darius utterly confused.He had no idea that his grandfather had used an ancient potion to heal him of his injuries, and it was the golden potion that improved his physical prowess and made his martial arts moves stronger and more powerful than before.Darius didn’t think much about it, and took a quick shower when he was done with practicing his martial arts.He was having his breakfast when his phone rang. He

The crowd present all let out surprised gasps when the young man alighted from the car. He was incredibly handsome! With a very attractive face, a well built body, and very clear skin, he was even more handsome than the male celebrities and models that arrived earlier. They were not just shocked by his attractive appearance, but also by his classy entrance. The car that he drove to the gathering looked incredibly expensive, and one glance told them that it was a class above the other cars the businessmen and celebrities came with. The paparazzi and the media people present hurriedly took pictures of the incredibly handsome young man. Although they had not seen him before, the fact that he was present at the gathering, and with such a dazzling car nevertheless proved that the young man was of impressive background. Of course, the young man in question was none other than Darius. Darius was the last person to arrive to the gathering, as he had driven a very far distance. He looked

"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
