The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1117
Darius looked like he was ready to murder him. Hansley trembled uncontrollably as terror washed over him. This was totally different from what he'd imagined. Things weren't supposed to play out like this.Darius wasn't grateful to him. Instead, he wanted to kill him! Hansley's mind raced as he tried to think of something to get out of this situation. Unfortunately, he had his head in the clouds. He didn't know how scheming he looked.Darius watched him coldly. "Nothing you say is gonna change the situation."Hansley immediately lost the will to fight. There was no doubt that Darius would kill him. He couldn't and wouldn't hold out hope anymore.Darius said coldly, "You knew my actions would harm my father. Yet, you stood by and watched me do it." He exhaled. He utterly regretted not killing Hansley the first chance he'd got. It was the situation with the Evans family all over again."There's something you need to get straight, though. I was originally gonna let you off the hook, but I

Hansley lay on the ground, trembling with fear. "D-Darius, you can't do this! You're already an enlightened martial artist. Killing me won't do you any good!" His eyes darted around as he tried to find Darius. Unfortunately, the black dragons were all he could see.Then, the pain was all he could feel. He shouted, "Darius, you're an inhumane monster! I treated you well after your father's death. Is this how you're repaying me?"Darius raised an eyebrow. His bloodlust grew stronger. Never in his life had he wanted to kill someone so badly. He frowned.After a few seconds, he stretched out an arm and focused his gaze on Hansley. He stopped suppressing his life force. All he wanted was to go along with what his heart desired.Darius didn't know his eyes were slowly turning red. His skin was also turning black from the life force. With these changes, more and more life force gathered around him. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. It was an eerie sight.Hansley was still on the ground. He

"Since you've successfully merged your body and soul, it's only right for me to give you a gift. I'm your apprentice, after all," said Darius.Hansley didn't dare look up. He knew it was likely he would die, though. He tried to sneak a glance at Teivel without lifting his head. In the next second, he shut his eyes.Teivel was even scarier than Darius. He didn't dare look at him any longer. Darius and Teivel both noticed this.Teivel couldn't care less about him, but Darius snorted. His gaze was angry as he looked at Teivel. He said, "Sir, this guy tried to impersonate my father."I tried to have a proper conversation with him, but he kept lying. Most of his consciousness now comprises my father's soul shards, except for the heart of his soul. That still belongs to him. And—"Darius stopped abruptly and dropped his eyes to his feet. The black life force started swirling around him again. He shut his eyes, looking pained. "He told me the heart of my father's soul was used to build tha

Tears immediately streaked down Hansley's face. "I don't know anything about that, I swear!"Teivel snorted. "I bet you don't know I can probe your memories."Hansley's crying stopped abruptly. His eyes widened in disbelief. Darius said coldly, "Mr. Teivel already told me about my father."Hansley stiffened. It had never crossed his mind that some people were powerful enough to probe someone else's memories without permission. This was unbelievable!Hansley's eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his head, looking pleased. "I don't know who you are, old man, but you and Darius need to—"He stopped abruptly. Darius put his hands behind him and watched him curiously. He could see the changes in Hansley's eyes. The emotions were in such conflict that they couldn't belong to the same person.Darius' eyes lit up as he turned to look at Teivel. Teivel looked calm, but the surprise in his eyes was plain. He glanced at Darius, then nodded. He looked conflicted, but his good wishes for Darius co
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1121
In that instant, Darius felt his fury peak. He stretched out an arm and channeled his black life force. To his surprise, it swirled in the air before returning to his body. This was the first time this had happened.Darius looked at Teivel in surprise. Teivel didn't turn around. He said, "You're being too rash. They're sharing the same body, so we can't tell who's actually speaking."Darius felt his blood run cold. The thought hadn't even occurred to him. If Hansley had been putting on a show earlier, Darius would've killed Tristan without realizing it.Darius trembled. He glared daggers at Hansley. Teivel sensed this and straightened up. He stepped between Darius and Hansley so that Darius could only see him. Then, he said, "You're too agitated. It's not gonna get you anywhere."Darius shut his eyes and breathed deeply. Teivel saw the black life force around him dispersing. He said, "You're powerful, but you haven't learned how to control the black life force. Or at least, you haven

Darius raised an eyebrow. Then, he looked at Teivel curiously. Teivel sighed and said, "Earlier, I only told you how soul shards came to be."His gaze turned helpless. "But storing soul shards isn't as easy as you think. Soul shards can only be stored in the correct container. And human bodies are those containers.""I was wondering why that old fogey kept creating those zombie-like monsters. Now, I know. He was probably using them as containers for those soul shards. Still, it probably didn't occur to him that the regular individual's soul was too weak to withstand its container's powers."Teivel shut his eyes, looking pained. Then, he turned to look out the window at Hansley, who was still rolling on the ground. "That's why I said it's not a good thing for your father's consciousness to have the upper hand now."This body doesn't belong to him. Sooner or later, he'll become a different person. I'm capable of doing this because I'm an enlightened martial artist. My soul is strong."H
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 1123
Darius looked at Teivel calmly. He knew what Teivel meant but wasn't sure he understood properly. He lowered his gaze to the ground. "Sir, you lost me.""You're still too naive." Teivel shook his head. He said amicably, "A person's soul changes after leaving the body. They might forget things or get a personality transplant. Look at me—I used to be boisterous, but I became quiet after my soul entered the book realm."He smiled. "Now that I've explained everything to you, I need you to calm down. That's the only way we can revive your father." Teivel straightened up and put his hands behind his back.He moved toward the window and looked out. "Hansley's smart. He's not as sincere as he seems." His brows furrowed deeply.He turned back to Darius. "I haven't observed you and him for long, but I can tell he's capable of bringing out the worst in you."Teivel looked grim. "I don't know what you were thinking when you spoke to him. My advice is to suppress all your negative feelings no matt

"You look like you're raring to go, sir. Are you that excited to get into a fight?" Darius said.Teivel raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Is it that obvious?" He rubbed his face roughly. "Obvious enough for you to read me like an open book?"Darius' lips twitched. Then, he said, "Yes. Now, tell me what your plan is."Teivel's expression became serious. This was Darius' first time seeing him like this. "Hansley's very sly. He must have some ulterior motive for showing up before us. There's nothing much we can do about this situation."There's one way we can catch him out, though. We need to make him think he's powerful beyond imagination and that we believe his lies. That's the only way for us to make him slip up and reveal more information to us."Teivel sighed. "Unfortunately, it's close to impossible for him to believe you've fallen for his tricks. The same can't be said for me, though."He raised an eyebrow. "Do you understand me now?"Darius looked surprised. He'd never thought about

"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

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
