Darius sighed and turned to leave while waving a hand. "I only came to see how Ursula was doing. Now that she's dead, I should get going. As for what I've promised her … I can only wish you good luck." He left without another look back.Bennett stared at his retreating figure dazedly. He breathed deeply, feeling like he didn't have the brainpower to comprehend this. Why had his daughter told Darius her last wishes on her deathbed? Besides, how could she possibly want to drag her father down to hell with her? Ursula couldn't be that dumb! Darius had to be lying! At least, that's what Bennett told himself.Ultimately, he still couldn't take it. He stumbled backward until he collapsed on a couch, then covered his face with his hands. No matter how hard he tried to convince himself this was all Darius' fabrication, he knew very well Ursula had genuinely asked Darius to help her with this. Darius had no reason to lie; this made Bennett's breathing hitch. He remained slumped on the couch fo
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 986
He couldn't finish his sentence for the longest time. Darius stood before him, watching him with a face devoid of emotion. Bennett gulped, feeling incredibly tormented. He'd been watching for Darius long enough but couldn't decipher his emotions. Worse still, Darius didn't do anything except watch him. Of course, Darius didn't allow him to do anything, either.Darius couldn't help feeling wronged. He'd planned on waiting for half an hour before making his move; he'd only entered the manor to apply some pressure to Bennett. Still, it was torturous for him to sit before his target for half an hour, so he'd decided to head to the backyard to chill there. Then, he happened to see the fleeing Bennett. Darius smiled at this thought and said, "You know, there was something about you that piqued my curiosity as soon as we met. I've been wondering what is it about you that's allowed you to survive on this earth for so long and even amass such a huge fortune. Now, I know the answer." Bennett s

"No one can do a better job than me as the head of the Evans family," said Bennett shakily.Darius smiled mockingly. "You may say that, but you don't sound too confident." He put his hands behind his back and cocked his head. "Whatever it is, you won't be leaving this place today. Instead of wasting your time on unsavory schemes, you should think about enjoying the last moments of your life."Bennett's head shot up, and he gave Darius a pleading look. However, he didn't say anything. Darius snorted and said, "What's wrong? Have you been the head of a family for so long that you can't bring yourself to beg for your life?" He raised an eyebrow, looking disdainful. "Since you've made your stance clear, I don't think there's anything else to say."He tucked his hands into his pockets and stretched his neck. "Have someone get me a chair. I don't know what you're thinking, making me stand here like a fool." He rolled his eyes.Bennett felt like his rage was about to make him keel over. He'd

"You're the most ignorant wealthy person I've met." Darius put his hands behind his back and cocked his head. "Now, I'm confident that my perception of you was right—luck got you where you are right now." As an enlightened martial artist, Darius' senses were incredibly sharp. He was positive Bennett's breathing hitched at his words, and he raised an eyebrow. "Well, your reaction only serves to solidify my guess. You're someone who's only managed to survive thus far because of luck. I've never met any wealthy person as emotional as you." He almost looked exasperated by Bennett's ignorance, if not for the laughter in his eyes.This made Bennett's blood boil. He roared, "That's enough! You've been uttering nonsense this whole time! What the hell do you want from me?"Darius looked heavenward and sighed. This wasn't the scene he'd anticipated, nor was it something he was happy to see. However, he had no choice but to wait. After all, he'd promised Iago that he would get what he deserved
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 989
"What right do you have to take the helicopter?" Bennett bellowed so loudly everyone in the manor's vicinity could hear him.Darius frowned, looking irritated. "He took my helicopter; I should be the one asking that question, not you. What right do you have to question the usage of my helicopter?" He slowly approached Bennett, who stiffened.His eyes widened in disbelief as he croaked, "What? The brat took your helicopter?" He looked even more furious as he glared at Iago and yelled, "Do you even realize who you are? Do you know about the conflict between Darius and me? How dare you swear your allegiance to him! Are you trying to say that you want to sever ties with me, your father?" Bennett sounded tortured as if he was genuinely hurt by the prospect of losing his son.Darius rolled his eyes, then turned to look at Iago. "I'll be upstairs, so you can come look for me if you need me. Otherwise, you should leave this place as soon as possible. Something about this place doesn't bode we
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 990
At this moment, Iago heard Darius say from upstairs, "Come on, you've already wasted too much time on him, which is something we're running short on. Deal with him as quickly as possible to get your shares. We need to leave soon." He slowly walked down the stairs.Iago sighed and looked at Bennett. In that instant, Bennett sensed his murderous intent, making him panic. He widened his eyes at Darius, shaking his head as he cried, "No, you can't do this to me! I'm Iago's father! How can you kill me over something as trivial as money? People are going to criticize and point fingers at you for this!"Darius raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I care about that?" He couldn't help looking scornful as he recalled what Bennett had done earlier. "Besides, if you could shout at your daughter's dead body, why would you care what people think of us?" With that, he turned to leave. As he walked, he said lazily, "Hurry up. My time and patience are limited; I would've dealt with him long ago if not fo
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 991
Darius' smile made him seem cheery and relaxed. At least, that was what Iago thought. He sighed and said, "Sir, this is my last time addressing you like this in public. I hope we can work together one last time."Darius raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You want me to be there for the Evans family's board and family meeting so that you can successfully take over as the head of the family and president of the company?"Iago nodded earnestly. "Yeah. I'm not capable enough, nor do I have enough experience. If I want to successfully take over as president of the Evans Consortium and head of the Evans family, I'll need an external power to help me. I won't find anyone like that in the Evans Consortium or Evans family; you're the only one I can think of. Maybe this also points to what a failure I am." He lowered his head, looking gloomy. "I've been stuck in my world over the years and have made many mistakes. Now, your presence in my life has helped to lead me back onto the right path."Dari
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 992
Iago laughed at Darius' words. They boarded the helicopter. Ten minutes later, the Evans Consortium's building came into view. Iago sighed in relief and smiled. "This is where my mother first met Bennett, and it's also where she ended her short and tragic life. From then on, I swore to myself that I had to have the Evans family under my control! Now, I've finally done it. I won't allow those who once harmed me and my mother to get away with the things they've done."Darius nodded. "That's fine and dandy, but I don't particularly care. All I wanna know is what I can get out of this after putting in so much effort.""You'll get the Evans family." Iago looked at him seriously. "Don't think I'm speaking without thinking. I mean every word I say right now; they come from the heart. I'm uninterested in managing the Evans family and Evans Consortium. If not for the vow I made before my mother's grave to make the members of the Evans family pay for everything they'd done, I wouldn't have both

"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
