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

A few seconds later, Teivel spoke with the utmost confidence. "You did it on purpose. You've already guessed where things were going, and you believe I'll undoubtedly fail based on everything I've said so far. That's why you're saying this."Darius' brows raised as his eyes widened in shock. Then, he shook his head at once. "No, what you're saying now is merely a guess. However, I can tell you the truth; I haven't tried to reason or make assumptions about the relationship between you two." Upon saying that, his eyes lit up with curiosity. "Sir, I know you're emotional now, but I can only think of one reason for your reaction—you believe you're going to fail." The corners of Teivel's lips twitched as he shook his head. "No. I didn't seek out your grandfather because I firmly believed he did those things for your safety; he wanted to protect you. No matter what, I refuse to be the villain; I can't bring myself to harm an elderly man who loves his grandchild that much."While cocking

The security guard crawled to Darius' bedside and reached up to grip the ends of Darius' sleeve. Tears welled in his eyes before he spoke. "I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I didn't have a choice—they threatened me! I have an adorable son whom they took from me. They said they'd hurt him if I didn't do what they wanted. As a father, I can never let that happen to my son, so I chose to save his life over yours. I know this is a grave sin. That's why I never asked you or God for forgiveness when I did it. Every second I injected that drug into your medication, I prayed someone would catch me, so I wouldn't have to bear the weight of regret."He sat on the ground, slumping weakly as he continued, "I don't know if someone superior like you would understand the pain of us average folk. We put our blood, sweat, and tears into earning a decent living, but the best we'll ever get is only enough to feed us. Sometimes, our salaries aren't able to support our children's education. Despite m

"Because you used your wealth to harm others! Yet, an ordinary person like me is left to bear the consequences of your actions! I wouldn't have hated you if I was the one getting kidnapped—but they took my son! He's still a boy and has just learned to speak! I don't understand what my boy did to deserve this. Is it merely because I know you—no, you and I are merely strangers whose lives don't intersect. Yet, it's because of you that my son has to suffer!" the security guard cried with all his might, trying to vent his sorrows.Darius pursed his lips at that truth. He couldn't deny that the security guard's life had gotten negatively impacted because of him. Thus, he stood again and bowed deeply under the security guard's nervous stares. "I'm not the kidnapper of your son, but you're right; my presence has caused him harm."While saying that, he heaved a heavy sigh and took out a card from his wallet, extending it toward the security guard. He maintained a neutral tone while explaining
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 816
The security guard trembled so much that his voice sounded shaky. "Aren't you trying to kill me because my presence has caused your employer's shameful state to spread online? This situation has likely damaged his reputation, which could lead to a reduced income for the Reid family and a sharp drop in their share prices. God knows what other negative impacts there'll be."Bridget's lips twitched as she raised a brow at Darius, who reacted the same way at her. They were both taken aback by the security guard's unfounded panic."Continue what you were doing, Bridget." Darius spoke up, then turned to look at the security guard. "Based on the loud thump when you knelt, I can confidently say you've hurt your knees. I suggest you leave this room at once if you're that frightened."Surprisingly, the security guard didn't move a muscle. That elicited a sigh from Darius, who crossed his arms and said, "I agree with those negative implications you mentioned. However, I need to remind you this—

"And that's the last thing I want to happen," said Borisin.Bridget didn't understand what was going on, so she glanced over at Darius, who waved her off. "Everything's fine," Darius stated, "You can leave now. Take your knife with you, and don't worry about the camera. Leave it here."A smile spread across Borisin's face as he nodded.Despite that, Bridget held her ground, hesitating for a few seconds. She was worried about Darius' safety but trusted her senses as an enlightened martial artist enough to know none of the police officers harbored ill will. Thus, she cautiously placed the camera on the table. Before she left the ward, she curled her lips, pointed at the camera, and sneered, "Just a reminder, but the camera is still live. No one has dealt with the broadcast yet, which is strange since I informed Miss Erin about it. Based on Miss Erin's manner of dealing with things, the live broadcast should've gotten shut off long ago."Borisin casually placed one hand above his head
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 818
Darius' smile vanished as he pointed ahead at the camera.Borisin nodded but said nothing. He merely turned to look at the other officers, who immediately understood and glanced at the camera. The police unit then brought it out of the room to destroy it for good. What happened next was unknown to Darius. All he did was sigh deeply at Borisin, stating, "It's been a long time since we met, yet you look extremely tired."Smiling and shaking his head, Borisin said, "Things like a lack of rest are unimportant to me. I'm more worried about you; you passed out for half a month because of some unknown toxin. During your absence, the Reid family's dynamics have changed again. Everyone now views you differently, too. I believe you should host another family meeting to confront them.""Yes, I heard plenty about the Reid family's state these days." Darius raised both brows. "Also, I've already encountered most of the Reid family members. I know they bear plenty of malice toward me and have alre

"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
