The Consortium's Heir Chapter 805
Darius concluded that the person who'd murdered his father was ready to make another move. This time, he was the one they were after! He shot to his feet, trembling with agitation. Suddenly, he staggered forward and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he blacked out and collapsed on the floor. As he fell, he crashed into the table, causing a ruckus. Pearl's heart jolted when she heard this. She darted out of her room and bolted downstairs without hesitation, skidding to a stop when she saw two black-robed people in the living room. Darius, who was unconscious, lay before them.Pearl screamed, making the two black-robed people turn to look at her with bloodshot eyes. Her chest heaved as she reached behind her to whip out a pistol and her phone. To her relief, the two black-robed people weren't too quick to react. She fired at them while calling Edward. At this moment, Edward and Bridget were strolling along the street. Suddenly, they stopped and exchanged looks as an ominous feeling
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 806
Pearl squatted before Darius, sensing the black-robed people present starting to get agitated. Despair washed over her. She only had one bullet left; it would help slow down the black-robed figures but wouldn't do much else. Their heads were about as penetrable as bricks, and they didn't seem bothered by their gunshot wounds anyway.At this moment, Darius stood in the realm in the book tattooed on his arm, looking at Teivel in surprise. "You've merged with your physical body!"Teivel nodded. "Yes, and it's good that it happened when it did. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw you in danger."Darius didn't dwell on the subject. He put his hands behind his back and looked out a window showing what was happening outside the realm. He frowned when he saw Pearl standing before his body protectively.Teivel leaned close to him and clucked his tongue while shaking his head. "That look on your face is the farthest thing from being touched. Aren't you moved by a powerless woman trying to protec
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 807
As Darius pondered this, he suddenly heard a loud crash. Then, his body landed on the ground before him. His lips twitched; he was at a loss for words to describe how he felt. It appeared someone had flung his body from a distance and with all the strength they possessed because it bounced a little before settling on the ground. The next thing Darius noticed was that his skin was as purple as an eggplant. Although he knew it was because of the poison, he still couldn't accept it. He sighed, then turned back to the mirror.The scene had changed, and he could see many things that hadn't shown up before. Darius' breathing sped up when he saw Teivel. For some reason, Teivel stood behind Pearl. She seemed to be mimicking his actions … not that he could see what Teivel was doing. Surprised, he raised an eyebrow—this was the first time something like this had happened. Any enlightened martial artist who had the honor of witnessing someone so powerful in action would want to learn as much a
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 808
As he waited for the antidote to take effect, Darius imagined something nasty happening. In his mind's eye, he saw his body opening its eyes though his spirit had yet to merge with it … because another spirit had taken his spot. His breathing sped up. This wasn't impossible, so he had to be careful. When Darius saw his skin return to normal, he tried and failed to enter his body multiple times in succession. Then, he stopped and glanced at the mirror, looking worried. Everything that had happened was way beyond his horizon, and the scene he'd imagined earlier—though ludicrous—was not impossible. After all, Teivel had also talked about wanting to merge with a better body than his own.Darius exhaled, clenched his fists, and turned his attention to the mirror. He saw Teivel had already stepped away from Pearl; she collapsed to the floor, looking exhausted. Then, Teivel approached the mirror and suddenly appeared before Darius. The latter raised an eyebrow and looked at the former thou
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 809
Darius felt like his eyelids had been glued shut, and his ears filled with water. There were many muffled voices around him calling his name; they seemed to be coming from somewhere distant … very distant. Something about this thought made his eyes fly open, and he sat upright. And just like that, Darius sat up in his hospital bed. Everyone present gaped at him. No one had expected him to suddenly wake up and sit up like this.Darius winced at the sunlight pouring in through the windows. He felt like it had been ages since he'd last seen the sun, and he felt exhausted—it was tough staying upright, but he still propped himself up and swept his gaze over everyone crowding around his bed. They were all familiar faces, and they looked similarly exhausted. Pearl, Kate, Edward, Bridget, and Bruce were all present. He raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when Bruce placed a hand on his shoulder and gently pushed him back down. Darius was again on his back, but it didn't make hi
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 810
"The fact that you're asking me about this proves you already have your doubts about this matter." Darius sighed. "Unfortunately, I've been unconscious for too long that I can't remember too many details. All I can say is my prime suspects are a woman named Fleur Chamberlain and a man named Floyd Davis. The former handles the signing of contracts at Solaris Estate's sales office, and the latter owns the business. Then again, there's also a chance that the person behind this is one of the employees that I had some conflict with. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the mastermind could've been hiding in the crowd."Bruce's lips twitched. He gave Darius a look before sighing and standing up. His gaze was a mixture of helplessness and affection as if he was looking at a mischievous child. "Understood, sir. I won't reprimand Edward and Bridget anymore, but I still hope you'll allow the new bodyguards I've picked out to stay with you. I have a feeling Edward and Bridget won't
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 811
Kate raised her head. "I wanted to express my gratitude through more appropriate methods, but everything I could think of to help you wasn't within my abilities. I'm no match for you; everything I could do, so could you. It's not like I could hang around you every day, observing you to see what you needed. At the same time, I don't think that's appropriate behavior between friends." She stopped here, unable to continue making things up anymore. Her mind was a mess, and she didn't even know what she was saying. She lowered her eyes to her feet and exhaled. "Well, that's all I wanted to say. I'm sure you understand exactly what I mean—whatever happened between us, whether good or bad, ends here. Things will spiral out of control if we continue like this." With that, she spun around and hurried out of the room.Darius stared in the direction she'd left as if his eyes had been glued to the door. This lasted until Edward stepped forward to stand between him and the door, making him return

Darius didn't want to miss even the slightest change in Teivel's expression. He watched as Teivel rolled his eyes at him, then pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved. "I saw that, and I know it's not a good thing. I don't think I did anything to deserve that, though."Teivel sighed, looking helpless. "If you were mature enough, you wouldn't be asking me this. I didn't want to say these things to you, but since you insist, I don't mind telling you everything. After you passed out, I handled the three black-robed people and scanned their memories to find out what had happened. Of course, I should also mention that I used Pearl Chamberlain's body to do all this, so she knows about all this. Obviously, she couldn't see me, so she thought some unknown force in the universe protected you. Still, she received a shock and had a fever for a few days, but she's already collected herself and accepted everything she witnessed. She also seems quite happy about this turn of events."Teivel exhaled and

"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
