All Chapters of The Consortium's Heir : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Darius’ first thought was to nod in agreement. But before he could do so, his gaze swept over a clock on the wall. It was already 3.00 am. By the time they were done eating, they would probably have two hours to rest. There really wasn’t much point in having Pearl leave at this time.So, he said, “You can choose to stay since we’ll need to leave in about two hours.”Pearl blushed. She looked around, then lowered her head to look at the floor. “Okay. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”Darius frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her suggestion. “I may not be the perfect gentleman, but I won’t allow a woman to sleep on the sofa.” He then turned to walk to the sofa, but he heard Pearl running after him.He stopped and turned around to face her, her face was red with agitation. “Please, let me sleep on the sofa. I’m here to repay you for saving my family’s company, so there’s no way I’ll let you sleep there.”Darius glanced at the clock and decided not to argue with her anymore. “As you wish.” He walked o

Darius kept his eyes trained on Ward so he caught the resolution in his eyes. He didn’t say anything else and merely looked into Ward’s eyes.Ward was uncomfortable with the way Darius was watching him. His gaze was filled with helplessness and disappointment. However, he didn’t have a choice.He figured that since Darius had already tracked down his family, he was probably already privy to much information. So, he allowed himself to drop the mask of anger as he looked at Darius, revealing his guilt and regret.Darius didn’t know what was happening, but he could hear the officials’ custom-made leather shoes tapping against the floor. He looked at Ward with a poker face and said, “Professor Plinsky, they’re coming, and I’ll go with them.”Ward stared at his favorite student. As he watched Darius leave, he knew that this was the end of their relationship.Darius could sense that Ward still had plenty to say to him. So, he walked slowly. He told himself to give Ward one last chance—if Ward had

The official couldn’t help but tremble. He’d been watching Darius closely, but he still didn’t manage to catch what exactly he’d done. Now, all he could see was Darius holding two fingers up and his colleague sprawled on the floor. He knew that he didn’t have a choice.His hands trembled as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs, which made them jingle. He reached out to put them on Darius but couldn’t even bring himself to look at him. He held the handcuffs out for a while, but Darius didn’t show any sign of moving. His hands were still in his pockets, and he looked at the official with displeasure.The official knew this, and his mind started to race. He had to think of a way to resolve this as soon as possible without offending anyone. Otherwise, he would probably end up worse off than his colleague. This wasn’t a consequence he could bear.So, he tucked the handcuffs away and looked at Darius, deciding to appease him. “Darius Reid, you’re very smart, and you should know what the right choi

They whipped their weapons out and aimed them at Darius.Unfortunately for them, he was an awakened martial artist. Before they even moved, he already knew what they would do. So, he dropped to the floor, still maintaining his grip on Hank’s neck, bringing him down with him. Darius quickly moved toward the bodyguards, forcing Hank to move with him.Darius could sense that Hank was running out of oxygen. It wasn’t the result he wanted, but he was fine with it either way.On the other hand, Hank knew what Darius was up to now. He wanted to tell his bodyguards to stop, but he couldn’t. When they came to a stop, his eyesight was blurry. However, he could still see that his bodyguards were already down. Only then did he realize that he couldn’t even begin comprehending Darius’ true abilities.The fact that Darius could do this showed how powerful and wealthy the force behind him was. It was definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the Gillette family. It wasn’t a secret, and almost everyone else wa

Hank was already starting to regret it, but no one was left to protect him except for two bodyguards. So, he grabbed them by the wrists and pushed them forward. “You two, beat him up! You’re only allowed to stop when he’s on the ground, or I’ll hold you two responsible for this! And if you don’t buy me enough time to escape, I’ll…”He didn’t get to finish his sentence and stood there, mouth agape and eyes wide. Darius had suddenly appeared before him, and he was terrified. As far as he knew, no normal human could move at such a speed. Now, however, he was proven wrong. A scene he’d never even imagined had happened before his very eyes. This was beyond his understanding, and he was fearful.He turned to look at Darius, lips trembling. He stammered out, “W-what are you doing?” Obviously, he was terrified, but Darius didn’t intend to let him off the hook.The two bodyguards were dumbstruck. Darius was like a gust of wind. He’d disappeared before their very eyes and reappeared behind them. Th
