"My injury hurts, and I didn't manage to get any rest in that dark basement. The more I thought about this, the angrier I got, and it just exploded when I saw you. That's why I had such an outburst."Darius raised an eyebrow and snorted. "Since you're here, tell us about yourself and the Evans family. I want to hear the whole story from the beginning, not mere excerpts like you've already given me. It's best if you start from your school days and work up to the present. You should know that my patience is limited, so your attitude determines your end. You might not be aware of this, but those bodyguards who were secretly loyal to other members of the Reid family are all dead. They died this morning, and I'm sure that's not something you would want to happen to yourself. At least, that's what I would think. I don't know what you think of this—those bodyguards were loyal to a fault; they just weren't loyal to me. No matter what I said or did, they refused to declare their loyalty to me.

"—Your account is problematic. Are you saying Ursula is unaware you already know the truth behind your father's death?"Winston nodded, tearing up from how emotional he felt while the whites of his eyes turned red from rage. "Yeah, she doesn't know. Apart from you guys and myself, no one in this world knows that I'm aware of the reason behind my dad's death. Therefore, I hope that you guys won't tell another soul about what I've just revealed to you. After all, those include many of my secrets."Darius cocked a brow but ultimately nodded at the former. "Okay. You may proceed.""So, I remained with the Evans family throughout my relationship with Ursula. By then, Bennett couldn't make me leave their family, so he approached me alone. He told me if I wanted to stay and avenge my father, the only thing I could do was leave his daughter. In theory, I couldn't remain with them if Ursula and I stopped dating. The only possibility was if I became a member of the Evans family's household staf

"My mom had always been distant from the Evans family while growing up, so she wasn't as cunning or untrusting toward others as the Evans family; she didn't think twice before refuting Ursula's claims. Mom was an anxious mess and nearly fell for Ursula's lies but ultimately didn't believe the latter. She told Ursula the latter couldn't have dated me because I had a fiancée, whom I loved dearly. Once Ursula learned that, she turned to all her social connections, and used every idea she could think of, to track down and kill my fiancée. Ursula even painted my fiancée's death to be a tragedy! Among everything Ursula did, that was the one thing I couldn't stand the most. Eventually, the authorities concluded that my fiancée had been having an affair for a long time behind my back. They claimed the other guy found out about me and killed my fiancée in a jealous fit—but I know my fiancée; she's a virtuous woman who would never do such a thing!" After saying that, Winston squeezed his eyes

"—because I don't believe that someone this capable and fearless would use turn to such an immature way of assassinating me."Upon hearing that question, Edward sighed, raised his brow anxiously at Darius, and replied, "Sir, I've heard some things about Morrison. He's renowned for being a controversial Reid family member, who often finds loopholes around the rules. Anyone he targets—no matter how much they beg or resist—will end up miserably. From what I recall, you two have never crossed paths."A contemplative frown marred Darius' face, but he was more calm than nervous. He lounged further into his seat before spreading his lips into a grin. He then turned, moved his feet off the bed, and sat with his legs crossed the floor. Then, he rested his palms on his knees. Keeping his arms straight, he exerted force to support his body in sitting upright. At that moment, Darius' expression resembled calm waters."Relax. You don't have to feel so nervous. It's an unnecessary emotion under th

Winston sighed deeply, then sat on the ground before Darius. He mimicked Darius in sitting cross-legged and resting his hands on his knees. While furrowing his brows, he spoke with a helpless sigh. "But I've already told you the truth about that night; your family contacted me first. You just refuse to believe it because you hadn't reunited with the family at the time. I can't tell which member of the Reid family approached me because it's been so long, and I dare not guarantee they're still alive. You might not know this, but your family members die relatively faster than others. Although their deaths are due to various illnesses, I still get this ominous feeling whenever I think about it. By the way, this isn't a secret; almost every trained professional and person in the wealthier social circles knows about it. Thus, I have no reason to hide this from you."He held Darius's gaze, his eyes filling with the utmost seriousness as he exclaimed, "I swear to God that everything I've sai

"—I think that man went too far." By then, Winston's voice bubbled with rage.Bridget happened to hear that when she arrived outside Darius' door. She instinctively raised her fists ahead, ready to break down the door and enter. However, she ultimately listened to her head and stopped herself. Now, only one of Bridget's fists reached out to knock against the door hard. It took several knocks before Darius' voice rang out. "Come in."Bridget opened the door without hesitation. After placing both hands behind her back, she stood at the doorway to announce, "Sir, I heard someone discussing me in the room earlier."Her brows gathered with displeasure.Seeing that, Darius quirked a brow, then exerted strength through his arms to turn his body in the other direction. He soon faced Winston and jutted his chin at the latter. "This man was the one chatting about you; this man finds you very attractive and would like to make your acquaintance. Likewise, he highly approves of your aggression

"That led me to having bountiful riches, enough to raise a child while living a regular life. Likewise, I can afford to bequeath him some assets to guarantee his survival after my death.""Okay, I'll allow that." Darius smiled and nodded before shifting his gaze to Bridget, instructing, "Take him to West Atlantics Int’l. Give him a l position like the one he requested."For a second, Bridget's eyes grew large, then she resumed a flat stare while nodding. Not a single protest came from her. She kept her hands behind her back and lowered her head at Darius. "Yes, sir. I'll head off if you need nothing else from me."Darius nodded. "I appreciate your efforts."Bridget shook her head with a slight smile before strolling ahead. Being an enlightened martial artist meant she could walk abnormally fast. Although Bridget wasn't as tall as Winston, nor was the length of her legs anywhere close to his, it was still challenging for him to match her pace.Hands behind her back, she stepped forward

"—Winston Evans is beside me, and he hasn't stopped rambling. It seems there are many things he wishes to say to you."Darius cocked a brow. "Come in."That was Bridget's cue to enter the room. Upon entering, her eyes swept past every corner inside, yet she didn't see Edward. Her brows formed an offended line at once. Even her tone had withered with a hint of anger and bewilderment. "No wonder I felt something was amiss. Why has Edward disappeared now, of all times? Doesn't he know he must be by your side, especially since all the newly arrived bodyguards are so problematic? They might attempt an assassinate you at any moment! Even if we manage to kill off these bodyguards, the person that owns them could easily send a new batch of bodyguards to continue assassinating you! Still, despite all these potential risks, Edward chose to leave you alone here!"She exhaled deeply, her frustration seeping out with her breath. By then, her respectful gaze at Darius had morphed into a scowl.Win

"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
