The Consortium's Heir Chapter 942
Darius was used to people looking at him like that, but he could feel his blood boiling at the thought of someone raised by the Reid family being the one to look at him like that. He sighed and said, "You're someone the Reid family trained. No matter where your loyalties lay, you need to remember that you're considered part of the Reid family and that the people you're loyal to are also members of the Reid family. Don't let me catch you giving someone puppy-dog eyes and begging for mercy at the slightest pressure. Otherwise, you'll have a terrible end." The bodyguards outside the room immediately dropped their terror and wariness at his words. However, the one standing before Darius collapsed to his knees again and held his hands up beside his head, looking terrified. He sounded like he was on the verge of tears as he stammered, "S-Sorry, Mr. Reid. I didn't mean t-to offend you." Darius rolled his eyes and balled the hand atop the desk into a fist. He got to his feet and strode to

Darius had a smile on his face. Edward's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "So, is he someone we can trust? I never would've expected this to happen." He lowered his head, looking exhausted. He wanted to sneak a peek at Darius to see what he thought about this but knew that as a professional bodyguard, that wasn't within the list of things he was allowed to do. Ultimately, he sighed and fell silent, frowning as he shut his eyes.Darius couldn't help chuckling at how forlorn he looked. He patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "Now, now. There's no need for that. You're a bodyguard, and even if you've gone through rigorous training to get to where you are, it's only normal that you don't know about these things. After all, this wasn't part of your training, nor were you given the chance to pick up on this. It's just like whatever medical knowledge you gain during your training is only enough to do simple first-aid and not a full-blown operation. You can't expect to become a busin

The bodyguards immediately sagged in relief. Darius smirked and said, "I wasn't talking to you guys." They immediately tensed up again. Darius turned to Edward, saying, "You need to get ready to record what they're about to say."Edward nodded and sat on the sofa. He grabbed a pen and waited for the bodyguards to speak. As he did this, Darius walked over to the door and shut it. The bodyguards trembled violently when he walked past them. Then, Darius channeled his life force to his palm, forming a rope with it and dragging a chair to him so he could sit. The bodyguards gaped at him—in their eyes, the chair had flown to Darius as if he'd summoned it. They stopped trembling and became as still as statues, not knowing how to react to this.Darius placed his arms on the armrests and sighed. Then, he shut his eyes as he tapped a finger on the armrest, looking calm. The bodyguards kneeling on the floor were the opposite of him—they all looked terrified as they stared at Darius. "We don't

"And all of this is only because I came into contact with you guys a little later than those other people. You were willing to betray the Reid family and your original master just because of a slight issue with the time, and you're fine with giving your lives up over something like this. Did I get that right?" Darius didn't say anything else. This was already enough to incite fear in everyone, including Edward. He took a deep breath, not knowing what to say or do under such circumstances. Was he supposed to help Darius or stand up to someone? Ultimately, he straightened up and walked over to stand behind Darius.He looked calm, but that was only on the surface. He said icily, "Sir, what should we do now? These people look obnoxious, and they're loyal to other people. I don't think they deserve to remain here."Darius nodded, looking annoyed. It was as if he could end these bodyguards' lives in the blink of an eye. He straightened up; the bodyguards kneeling on the floor had finally h

"If I want to receive the treatment I deserve, perhaps ending your life would be the best choice." Darius stood up and walked to his desk, grabbing a pair of scissors from there. He appraised it, then smiled. "If I were to stab you in the heart or throat with this … you'd immediately shut up. That would make me happy." He shut his eyes and held the scissors up, looking as if he could already see the bodyguard's death happening. The smile on his face incited fear in everyone present. After a few moments, he composed himself and turned to walk toward the bodyguard who'd spoken. "You've made it clear that we're on different sides, so I'm sure you're ready to face the consequences of your choice. Am I right?" He cocked his head, looking innocuous.However, everyone present knew he was the furthest thing from innocuous. He was thinking of taking their lives with every second that passed, and the other bodyguards were starting to regret their actions. In a small voice, one of the bodygua

Darius smirked. Before he could say anything, the bodyguard who was waiting for death blurted out, "I don't know what you mean by that, Mr. Reid! Whatever it is, everything I've told you is nothing but the truth. If you don't believe me, you can kill me! I won't retaliate or stop you, nor will I resent you!" He shut his eyes again and put his hands behind his back, looking calm and ready for what was coming his way.Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled, then placed his arms on the armrests of his chair. There was a hint of pity in his voice as he said, "I was actually going to let you live, but since it's what you want, I should respect that. After all, you're the first among your peers to take the initiative to tell me the truth, so I think it's only right for me, as your rightful master, to respect your wishes and end your life."The bodyguard's face darkened at this, and he gave Darius a shocked look. He'd considered many possibilities, but this wasn't one of them. He didn't think

Darius stepped on the bodyguard and smiled mockingly. "I think this is the best time for you to leave some famous last words. Even if the other bodyguards aren't willing to save you, they should be okay with passing on your message. In fact, I'd do that for you." His tone was gentle and cajoling; he sounded kind … if one could ignore the fact that he was stepping on the bodyguard. "Don't you have anything to say?" The bodyguard lay on the floor silently, making Darius frown. "Well, this is somewhat of a surprise. Anyway, if you don't leave any last words, I'm gonna go ahead and kill you. I hope you don't regret this—death isn't reversible, after all. It'll be too late for you to say anything once I've started doing my thing." He added force to his foot, making the bodyguard spit out blood again.Gareth couldn't stand it anymore. He shot to his feet and balled his hands into fists, his muscles rippling and making his clothes rip at the seams. Darius turned to him and removed his foot

"No matter what you say or do, every member of the Reid family has to obey you, including me. It's too bad you've yet to obtain the Reid family's recognition. Aside from you, I know two other members of the Reid family, which puts me in a bind. I don't know how to face you right now; after some thought, I feel like ending my life is probably the best thing to do. I'm different from Gareth and the other guy—I was brought to the Reid family as a child, and it's all I've known. I don't have any other relatives or friends aside from those two Reid family members who I mentioned. Unfortunately, I've long since lost contact with them, and I don't even know whether they're still alive. That's why being alive doesn't matter to me anymore." The bodyguard shut his eyes and lay spread-eagled on the floor, looking completely relaxed. Darius would've believed he was truly seeking death if not for him secretly biting his lip.Darius sighed and said, "Before all of you die, I would like you to answ

"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
