The Consortium's Heir Chapter 833
Since then, they'd braved many dangers together. Zack's company had also gone from being on the verge of bankruptcy to officially being a member of the Reid Consortium. Darius had done his best to protect the livelihoods of many families, which was something most companies would find hard and even impossible. Still, Darius had managed it. This was why Erin couldn’t understand what sort of conditions would’ve been enticing enough to attract Zack to betray Darius for another company.Darius had long since been mentally prepared for Zack’s betrayal. He nodded. "It’s fine. After all, he only joined us when he was backed into a corner. Nothing he did, under those circumstances, would be out of the ordinary. Perhaps joining me was never something he wanted or wished for. Now that he has the means to leave, it’s only normal for him to make such a decision. Of course, it’s also possible that he could’ve been threatened or something along those lines. Save your sorrow and sadness for another

"After all, she'd been through so many boyfriends because she only wanted to experience the freedom of choosing to date whoever she liked. Or rather, she just wanted to be with someone who made her happy. All you have to do is go along with everything she wants. Women like her move from relationship to relationship quickly and easily; the fact that you can't make her fall for you means that you need to reconsider what you're doing wrong, not go after the men that she likes." Darius shook his head and stroked his jaw. He looked the man in the eye and said, "I've already told you everything you need to know, and you can easily verify whether I'm telling the truth by watching the video." As he spoke, he patted the man on the shoulder. "My heart goes out to you, my man. That's why I'm telling you all of this. If anyone else were in this situation, I wouldn't bother saying a thing to them.""Why?" the man mumbled.Darius smiled meaningfully. "Because I think we're in the same situation. W

Darius put his hands behind his back and raised an eyebrow, looking baffled. "Uh … correct me if I'm wrong, but Ursula isn't the woman you love, right?""What? No, of course not!" To Darius' surprise, the man shook his head so vigorously that Darius could practically feel the wind he was causing. "No, no, no! I would never! There are plenty of women in the Evans family; even their most influential member is a woman! I'd have plenty of choices if I wanted to pick one of them for myself. Why would I go for Ursula?" He gave Darius a bewildered look. Then, he pouted and said, "I don't understand why you would say that. There are countless people on this earth. Why would I fall for Ursula? Any other woman would be better than her!"Darius could tell the man wasn't kidding. His lips twitched as he wondered what Ursula had done to make everyone get mad at the mention of her name. He reached upward to place his hand on the man's shoulder, then said, "West Atlantics Int'l welcomes you. I hope

"I need to let the whole world know about their crimes. I want them to make headlines everywhere! Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace!" The man's voice was resolute. He turned to Darius. "I didn't know how to feel when you invited me to join the Reid Consortium. I have too many concerns; I feel like the things I'm about to do will drag you down with me."Darius raised an eyebrow. "You still agreed to it, though."The man smiled, but it didn't meet his eyes. "The devil got to me in that instant. He told me wealthy people like yourself were heartless, that you were all disgusting and evil people. Your fortune was built from the flesh of the poor, that it was stolen from those who actually did the work for it!" His voice grew increasingly louder toward the end of the sentence, and he trembled with agitation.Darius sensed the passers-by giving him disapproving looks, making his lips twitch. He straightened up, tucked his hands into his pockets, and said, "Alright, then. You can c

Darius turned to look at the people involved in the argument. He had a complicated expression on his face when he heard the entirety of it. The employee who'd served him earlier was extremely kind but was a little bit of a pushover because he'd grown up in squalor. Of course, this wasn't what his personality was originally like. He'd only learned to keep his silence because he couldn't afford to get into arguments with others.Darius' heart raced when he learned this. Once upon a time, he'd been exactly like this employee. However, he'd been fortunate enough to have been reunited with his family when he was at his lowest.At the very least, he knew he hadn't been abandoned, that his squalor had been happenstance due to a series of unfortunate events. He sighed. He'd intended on leaving this place without getting involved in anything, but he knew he wouldn't be able to ignore this.Darius turned around and headed toward the quarreling people. "It's unbecoming of a hotel's employees to
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 838
The woman spread her hands and shrugged while looking at Darius haughtily. Darius sighed, feeling like this trip had been a huge mistake. He'd already decided to return home, yet something like this had to happen right before he left. He narrowed his eyes. Coincidences happened all the time, and he could just about bring himself to believe that two coincidences could happen at the same time. Still, if too many coincidences were to happen at the same time … no one would believe they were truly coincidental.Darius looked at the couple and said, "Can I take this to mean that your actions have been condoned by your employers? And that no one will be able to resolve this issue of you causing trouble for me?"The couple narrowed their eyes at him suspiciously. Ultimately, the woman said haughtily, "Of course! Everything we've done so far is what people expect and have been waiting to see!"With her words, Darius didn't think this was mere happenstance anymore. "Alright, then. Just so you k

Darius' expression became mocking at his words. "What makes you think I'll believe your lies? None of that sounds realistic. Why didn't you try to flee after being oppressed like that?"The employee paled and shook his head, looking defeated as tears streamed down his face. "You have no idea how many times I tried, but she sent people to trail me. There were people watching me 24/7; even now, everything that we say now will probably reach her ears in no time. She may show up here in a few minutes for all we know … "As an enlightened martial artist, Darius trusted his instincts unconditionally. They told him the employee wasn't lying, and he said, "You don't sound like you're lying, and I'm about eighty percent convinced. I'll get my people to investigate the remaining twenty percent. If you want to leave this place, I can protect you." He smiled at the employee.The employee's heart raced. "Do you mean that? Do you know who this hotel belongs to?" Darius shook his head, making a mask

They didn't even have the strength to lift their heads from the floor. This didn't stop them from making noise, though. "Why have you guys stopped? You're security guards, aren't you? Isn't it your job to attack and capture him? Do what you were hired for!"The security guards didn't look too pleased at their words. At this moment, a man in a black suit stepped forward. Unlike the other security guards, whose shirts were white, his was black. Darius watched him calmly, putting his hands behind his back. The security guard in the black suit looked impatient as he swaggered forward, spatting on the floor before growling, "Curse the fucker who dropped me here, forcing me to watch people argue over the dumbest things every day. One day, my anger is gonna reach its peak; when that happens, I'm gonna murder everyone here and blow this place to smithereens!"Darius raised an eyebrow at this man. He looked irritated and seemed like the type to have committed many crimes, but Darius' instinct

"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
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1158
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
