The Consortium's Heir Chapter 972
"—I'll take you to West Atlantics Int’l. Bridget's currently working on something else, so she's most likely too busy to deal with you." Upon saying that, Darius raised both brows and pursed his lips into a thin line.Winston was quick to follow behind Darius as the latter led the way. He was ecstatic to have Darius show him around West Atlantics Int’l. That was the most ideal outcome, so he immediately rushed behind Darius.The journey was mostly successful, except when Winston insisted on driving; he crashed the front of the car into the gate seconds after Darius agreed to let him take the wheel.Sitting in the backseat, Darius crossed his arms before his chest and frowned at the massive sign next to him that read West Atlantics Int’l. He sighed, then turned to face Winston. "You broke my car on the way here. I have no clue how you intend to compensate me since I doubt you can afford to pay the price I demand, no matter how low. On top of the damage, you still drove me to the compa

He stopped and turned to look at Winston. "Have you forgotten that I'm your future employer? You shouldn't be so curious about me."Winston shrunk. "I was just curious when I saw you only had one car! And it's not even that expensive. It's a little weird."Darius gnashed his teeth. "Because this isn't my car! Edward drove mine; this is Bridget's car." He turned away, not wanting to look at Winston anymore. His blood pressure would rise with every second he spent looking at him.When they entered West Atlantics Int'l's building, the two people who'd mocked Darius' car earlier were walking ahead of them. They stopped and turned to look at Darius haughtily. "Oh, my God! Isn't this the guy who was driving that cheap car?" They appraised Darius, and their expressions turned even more obnoxious when they saw how casually he was dressed. "Do you know where you are? How dare you come here dressed like that! How humiliating! Are you here to talk business or something?"Darius raised an eyebro

Darius raised an eyebrow, looking scornful. He turned to look at Winston. "You may not have investigated West Atlantics Int'l, but you should at least know who my assistant is, right?"Winston nodded and pulled his phone out. "Of course. I'll call Erin right now."Even now, the two employees didn't realize something was amiss. One of them reached out to snatch Winston's phone; it worked because Winston didn't have his guard up. He looked stunned by this. Darius raised an eyebrow, looking disdainful. "You're dumber than I thought. Aren't you supposed to be a professionally trained bodyguard? How could you allow two good-for-nothings to snatch your phone?"Winston pouted but didn't say anything in return. How could he when Darius was right? He stood beside Darius and forced out a smile, making Darius sigh. He didn't want to waste time settling the score with the two employees because of how dumb they were, so he sidestepped them. To his surprise, they moved to stand in his way again.

Because the baton in his hand had gone missing without him even seeing how it had happened. The chief security guard was about to tell the other security guards to watch out when the baton hit him in the back. It knocked the wind out of him, and he crashed onto the floor. He never wanted to experience this again, so he played dead. Since Darius was so powerful, there was no point in him putting up a fight because he wouldn't stand a chance against him. If everyone here were going to receive a beating, no one would bother about him. Moreover, someone with only brawn and no brain probably wouldn't do anything detrimental to the company. With that thought in mind, the chief security guard lay on the floor and shut his eyes.When Erin received a call from the front desk, she switched to the surveillance footage to check what was happening. She gasped when she saw what was happening, feeling like her blood had run cold. Never would she have expected Darius to be barred from entering the

She frowned to suppress the laughter, then said, "If I remember correctly, these two come from a support department. If you're unhappy with them, then something must be wrong with their personalities. I'll look into them and punish them severely if there are problems with their work. At the same time, I'll take this opportunity to thoroughly check everyone in the company." Her voice was crisp and carried through the lobby. She gestured at Darius respectfully and said, "I hope everyone present remembers him—his name is Darius Reid, and he owns West Atlantics Int'l. He's also the chairman of the board of directors, meaning he has absolute control over the company's operations. I hope everyone will give him the respect he deserves if you see him again!" She swept a sharp gaze over everyone present, then turned to Darius and gestured for him to head upstairs with her. "Sir, is there anything else?"Darius shook his head. "No, this is fine. I came to ask you to give Winston something to

"How could I possibly think you'd treat me as well as you treat her?" Before Winston was done with his sentence, he felt something sweep him off his feet, making him fall to his knees.Erin retracted her foot with a frown; her eyes were trained on Darius, and she looked concerned. Though she'd attacked Winston, she hadn't spared him a glance from beginning to end. She exhaled and asked, "Has something happened to Bridget? I felt something was wrong with her when she was last here but couldn't pinpoint it."Darius glanced at her and sighed while shaking his head. "It's nothing." No one had yet to tell Erin the truth about her body because they'd yet to find a way to solve the problem, so he couldn't tell her what was wrong with Bridget, either. Otherwise, Erin would immediately link the dots and realize what was wrong with herself. Darius pretended to casually turn away; as his gaze swept over Winston, the look in his eye became one of warning. Winston immediately shut his mouth, reali

However, the Evans family hadn't bothered being decorative. All they'd done was tile the floor with gold. Darius put his hands behind his back and started approaching the manor. As expected, someone stopped him when he arrived at the entrance. He raised an eyebrow and smiled mockingly."I expected you to stop me, but it's still hilarious. Does your employer truly think you're enough to stop me?" He rolled his eyes at the security guards before him.They remained silent as they stood as still as statues before him. Darius sighed, looking irritated. He crossed his arms and said, "I'm warning you: If you continue standing in my way, I'm gonna have to resort to brute force. That's not something you'll want to experience." He shook his head. "Also, if I were you, I'd contact your employer immediately. Trust me—he'd love to see me." He cocked his head.The security guards remained rooted to the spot, not showing any signs of moving or speaking. Darius frowned. "All of you are annoying." Wit

This was especially so because Darius believed the security guard wouldn't be saying these things unless he was certain he didn't stand a chance against Darius. He would've attacked without another word. He trusted his instincts as an enlightened martial artist and stepped forward. "Whatever it is, we're on opposing sides. However, if you step aside now, I won't do anything to you."The security guard's face darkened. "If that's the case, let's just do this!" He reached behind him and whipped out a baton, pressing a button to make it zap to life as the electricity crackled around it.Darius raised an eyebrow. Most security guards were armed, but seeing one with a weapon like this was still rare. They usually carried firearms or batons; it was apparent why the Evans family was equipping their security guards with electric batons that wouldn't harm lives but could still restrain others. Darius' expression turned scornful. "How ridiculous. Soon, you're gonna see that electric baton was

"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
