The Consortium's Heir Chapter 977
"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
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 979
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

However, if they were to stop Darius from entering, they'd receive a beating. It was a vicious cycle. Their faces were filled with despair at the thought of this—either way, they'd receive beatings. The security guards who'd been electrocuted staggered to their feet and linked arms, standing in Darius' way. The security guard who'd faced Darius alone was once again face-to-face with Darius, standing with his hands behind his back. Earlier, he'd been right before the army of security guards, so he'd been electrocuted the worst. He was still trembling as an effect of the electrocution, and his hair stood on end. Still, he stood up straight. Though he looked helpless, he said firmly, "I'm sorry, but you can't go in. The only way you'll get past us is to knock us all out or kill us!"In truth, he couldn't help thinking that if Darius had knocked him out earlier, he wouldn't have to stand here and face him again. With this thought in mind, he couldn't help looking at Darius with bright e

Darius was obviously enjoying the show; it was like Bennett was a clown to him. Bennett trembled with rage as hatred washed over him. Darius raised an eyebrow and said, "Now, now. You're the patriarch of the Evans family and a man of wealth and power. Don't you think it doesn't make sense for you to act like this before someone who's junior to you?"Bennett's trembling became even more pronounced. "How dare you saunter into my home like you own the place, Darius? It seems that you have no idea the predicament you're in right now!"Darius smiled. "It's been a while since I've heard something as funny as that. What I want to say is simple enough—everything you say and do right now is useless. You'll never defeat me." He exhaled heavily and put his hands behind his back. "I mean, you've already lost to me more times than I can count; it should've been enough to teach you a lesson. Yet, you're still filled with the will to live, which is surprising." He smiled and continued, "To tell yo
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 982
Darius raised an eyebrow, looking scornful. "It's not about whether you can and want to tolerate me; it's that you have to. After all, I can end your life anytime, and you won't be able to fight back."Bennett let out a disparaging laugh. "Fine! I remember you've been practicing some sort of secret art from the East, and I think there's a saying from there that means something like fools rush in where angels fear to tread, but a fool remains a fool no matter what!" His eyes were bloodshot with fury.Darius shook his head, looking helpless. "You don't have to be so on edge. I've already told you we're gonna do this one by one, so none of you will be let off the hook."His calmness made Bennett's nostrils flare again. He parted his lips to say something in return, but the words didn't come out. Ultimately, he forced out through gritted teeth, "Fine, then. I've finally gotten the chance to see what it's like to deal with an uncultured swine. You should be glad your parents died when you

"None of your wounds were tended to, huh?" Darius said lightly as he put his hands behind his back.Ursula opened her eyes with difficulty to see him looking at her with a mixture of mockery and pity; she'd never been this humiliated in her life. She croaked, "You're the ones who made me end up like this. If I make it out of this, I won't let any of you off the hook—you, Winston, Iago … and you, Bennett Evans! You gave up on me!" Her wounds seemed to bleed more profusely with every word she uttered, but that didn't stop her from glaring daggers at Darius.Darius could tell she was on the verge of death but had no intention of helping her out. He smiled and said, "I never would've expected to get the chance to see you like this." He cocked an eyebrow, looking highly relaxed in a room that reeked of blood. It was as if this was completely normal to him.He sat on the couch in the room and poured himself another glass of water. Ursula kept her gaze trained on him; this action alone made

"Then again, maybe it's not that surprising. After all, you're about to die. Don't worry, though. I'll stay here to witness you take your last breath." Darius looked at her.Ursula opened her eyes and looked at Darius one last time before shutting them again and breathing for the last time. Darius' senses told him Ursula wasn't due to die yet, but she'd lost the will to live. Though he disapproved of this, he couldn't say anything because it was her choice to make. He sighed, thinking that this was probably the best outcome for her. He stood in silence for a few seconds before turning to leave the room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bennett standing there and glaring daggers at him. He raised an eyebrow and smiled mockingly. "That look in your eyes is ludicrous." Darius put his hands behind his back. "A few days ago, your daughter spent a considerable amount of time at my home and caused no shortage of trouble. She was perfectly healthy, yet she's now dead." He snorted and s

"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
