Benjamin_JnrHello! Author here. I'm incredibly sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been so occupied with some issues lately, and wasn't able to update. I also had to edit some of the previous chapters before posting these ones, so this also contributed to the lack of update. I appreciate you all for sticking with this novel. I'll definitely try to increase my update schedule this month. Thank you.

“What do you mean by you lost him?!” The chief police officer in charge of the kidnapping case yelled into the walkie-talkie.The police officer with the walkie-talkie grimaced at his superior’s harsh tone. He knew that they would be receiving an earful the moment he returned from the search.“It’s exactly what I said chief. There’s no track anymore. We can’t find him at all. It’s almost as if he just disappeared from the forest.” The police officer replied bitterly.“And you want me to believe that?!” The chief police officer yelled angrily.“Chief-”“Never mind. I shouldn’t have trusted you lot with something so important. Come back now; and don’t let me wait for you more than necessary!” The chief police officer yelled furiously and ended the conversation.The police officer sighed and raised his head to the other police officers before yelling.“Stop searching and pack up! We’re going back!”The police officers obeyed his orders and started packing, and in less than a minute, the

The moment the doctor exited the operation theatre; Alice, Darius’ grandfather and Bruce all rushed forward to meet him. They were very anxious about the outcome of the surgery, and the last few hours of wait was very torturous to them.“How is my grandson?! Is he okay?!” Darius’ grandfather asked in a voice that left no room for a negative response.The doctor gulped when faced with Darius’ grandfather’s questioning. He didn’t know much about the old man in front of him, but from his regal demeanor, he could tell that he was not someone he could offend. His years of experience as a surgeon told him that.“Your grandson is very alright sir. The surgery was a 100% success; and it’s only a matter of time before he is back to full health.” The doctor said carefully, afraid that any of his words would anger the old man in front of him.Luckily; the old man didn’t get angry at his words, and only breathed out a sigh of relief. Alice also made use of this opportunity to slip away from Dariu

Greg and his friends’ astonishment were very understandable; as the person who entered the room was none other than Janet Fox, the number two beauty in Kingston University! Janet was dressed casually, her blonde hair tied into a lazy ponytail. However, her casual dress did nothing to hide her ethereal like beauty and her hourglass shape. Her beauty was even more pronounced by the casual clothing she wore. “Darius! What happened to you?” Janet asked worriedly the moment she entered the room, and did something completely shocking the next moment and threw herself right on to Darius who lay on the bed! Greg, Marcus and Rudd all had extremely shocked expression on their faces, like they had just seen a fish run on land. This was the second ranked beauty in Kingston University! How on earth did Darius manage to get so close to Janet Fox?! Darius was also quite shocked himself, if not more shocked at Janet’s behavior. While they knew each other, they could certainly be called acquaintan

Darius was still in the hospital, but was rapidly recovering due to the effects of the self healing trait the golden liquid gave him.He had been in Serene Hospital for two days now, and according to the doctor, he would be discharged from the hospital in the next two days; and he was recommended to do some light exercises before his discharge. As such, Darius decided to walk around the hospital to heed the doctor’s instruction.The atmosphere in the hospital was serene and tranquil, with the sounds of machines beeping echoing in the hallway.Darius walked unhurriedly, and a melancholic feeling slowly came over him as he walked. He could see the different people suffering from various illnesses restrained to their hospital rooms as he walked.He could hear them speak in sad voices to their loved ones. He was well aware that some of them were having what would be their last conversations as the minutes went by.As he walked slowly, he came in contact with a lady in her early twenties.

There was a look of disbelief on Director Yul’s face when she heard Darius domineering statement.‘Not anymore?’‘What does he mean by not anymore?’‘He’s joking, right?’The doctors, nurses and patients who were attracted by the commotion happening were also shocked at Darius’ statement. They couldn’t understand how someone that was barely in his twenties was claiming to dismiss Director Yul from her duties.Moreover, with the resolute expression on Darius’ face, it didn’t seem like he was joking at all!“You overestimate yourself!” Director Yul stated angrily.“I am the Director of this hospital, so who do you think you are to decide whether I continue to work in this hospital or not?” Director Yul asked angrily.Darius didn’t say anything in response to her question but simply walked away. Vera followed him quite closely, but not before giving Director Yul a cold hard glare.He walked back to his hospital room after parting ways with Vera as she had to tend to her sick mother befor

Just as he concluded his phone call with Erin, he heard a soft knock outside his room.Darius furrowed his eyebrows at the knock, but said calmly.“Come in.”The door opened and a familiar pretty young lady walked in. This young lady was of course Vera.“Hello Darius.” Vera greeted softly, her eyes peeking towards the ground.“Hello Vera. How may I help you?” Darius asked; confusion lacing his tone.Vera pushed forward a basket filled with fruits towards Darius before saying in a shy tone.“I didn’t know that you were admitted to the hospital. I thought that you were here to visit someone who was already sick. I’ve brought these fruits for you to aid your recovery and make you recover quickly.” Vera said shyly.Darius had a small smile on his face after hearing Vera’s words. He stretched his hands and took a fruit from the basket before eating it in her presence.“Thank you.” Darius said as he ate the fruit; and the fact that she thought about him in such a way and even went ahead to

Darius, Director Yul and Vera all turned their direction to the man as he walked inside Darius hospital room.Darius took a closer look at the man who walked into the room. He looked to be in his late thirties, with full black hair and a tall physically fit body, with a white lab coat on. He however had dark circles beneath his eyes, so one could tell that he was either stressed or not getting enough sleep.Darius was surprised at the doctor’s appearance, but took a passive stance as the man would surely have a reason for coming inside his hospital room.Sure enough, it only took a few seconds for the doctor to state the reasons for his appearance.“Hello Mr. Reid. I’m sorry to barge in like this, but I heard all the details from outside the hospital room.” The man said.“My name is Dr. Hills, and I’ve been working as a doctor here for the last ten years.” The man now identified as Dr. Hills said.“Is there a reason for your appearance?” Darius who could not stand someone beating arou
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 147
After Director Yul was taken away by the security personnel, Darius made his way back to his hospital room, not sparing the doctors and nurses any glance at all.Now that he was the new owner of the hospital, some of them must naturally have different ideas on how to get close to him; but since he was not planning on actively managing the hospital, he wanted to prevent such situations by all means.Vera and Dr. Hills followed Darius closely as he made his way to his hospital room. Vera was completely smitten by Darius after the whole turn of events, and now saw him as akin to a god. She knew that he was rich after he spent $270,000 to pay her medical bills, but the events today showed her that Darius was not your average rich person.Meanwhile, Dr. Hills was head over hills with joy after Director Yul was kicked out of the hospital. He had so much longed for a day like that to happen, and he was extremely glad that what he wanted finally came to pass.The moment Darius got to his hosp

"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
