The Consortium's Heir Chapter 154
He took out his phone and called Bruce “I want to know if my friend was threatened at the casino.”“Dear young master, I have investigated it clearly, but the master thinks it would be better to find out by yourself as you arrive there”He did not understand his grandfather's intention. He hung up the phone and continued to read the documents.Then, he saw the name on the document that made him vomit.‘Dream Investment Group.'Darius' fist gradually turned as hard as a stone, and the tone of his voice was no longer calm, “Alan Roberts, you better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you, or else you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!”Just as the words left his mouth, he heard the pilot's nice voice, “Young master, we'll be landing in three minutes, so please get ready.”Darius put the tea cup back, sat on the sofa, and closed his eyes.The plane landed smoothly and the door opened quickly.Darius looked at the green grass and frowned “what is this place?”He

Darius did not know what people were thinking behind him. He only knew that he had been delayed for a long time, and that Rudd was waiting for his help. It was said that in the casinos of Slokus State, their eyes were wide when they killed people, even the blood flowing into their mouths would not make their faces change in any way. Darius picked up his pace the moment he hit the ground and practically bounced out. The two pilots, a man and a woman, followed him. The poor security guard on the ground was left unattended, only kneeling on the ground, watching in awe as Darius' back disappeared into the distance. His mouth trembled fiercely as he stood up and wobbled back to his post. On the other hand, Darius exited the airport in Slokus State. Unlike other places, It was a casino outside, not stores or restaurants. He didn't see a taxi neither did the two pilots. After waiting for a long time, just as Darius was about to walk. The two pilots came out. While panti

The expression on Darius' face was showing the seriousness of his heart. The woman's face changed. She had lost control of her body when she saw the card. She recognized this card! Everyone had to recognize this card during pee-employment training! So that they could serve the Reid family better. She had fantasied about earning a chance to enter the Reid family, and then, she would be Mrs. Reid. But she couldn't believe that the man she had been waiting for for so long was insulted to the point of anger by her. She stood still, all stiff, with only her eyes, still able to move, looking at the card, and began to think what she could do to salvage the situation now. Darius, however, put the card in his pocket “Now, can I get in?” The woman saw the expression on Darius' face and still found herself unable to accept it. With her eyes on Darius' back as he walked toward the casino doors, she suddenly screamed, “Stop! You liar! I know who you are, and you can't go in!”

The manager cautiously shot a sidewayssmirk at Darius before lowering her head. “My apologies, but I can’t recognizethe brand of his clothes as it doesn’t seem well known. However, his clothes dolook expensive.”Darius could tell the former’s tone wasfull of mockery.That was when a confident voice said on theother end of the call, “If an article of clothing has no brand, it must be acustom piece. I doubt someone that capable would show up at our casino.Likewise, there’s no way this poor little boy would ever be acquainted withsomeone so wealthy.”The situation seemed like a joke to Darius,who kept silent the entire time and kept his hands in his pockets. Even so, hisfrosty eyes sent chills down everyone’s spines. Darius eventually reached outto knock on the table twice before retorting, “Aren’t I supposed to grant yourbusiness more wealth through my patronage? Why did no one welcome me? Instead,you left me out here alone. Is this how your fancy casino treats itscustomer

The speaker dared not utter another word ashe cautiously sat back in his seat.Darius no longer concerned himself withthat man. After all, he knew the people gambling here were much poorer thanhim. Their combined assets would not even amount to a fraction of his wealth.There was no way Darius would waste his time on such people. Hence, he promptlyplaced his black bank card with the letter “R” onto the table.The manager’s brows furrowed. “I know manypeople worship Reid Consortium. Since you know of the Reid family, I’m sureyou’re also aware of the family’s social status. In having this bet against me,I hope you understand that a measly person like you cannot survive the wrath ofour casino or the Reids.”“Don’t forget what you’re saying to menow,” Darius responded, his voice devoid of emotion while he glanced at his watch.Then, he placed his card onto the scanner.A second passed before the machinery letout a beep of approval and flashed a green light.Everyone around them

Their gazes met for a moment before Bridget joined Darius' side like always while Edward headed toward the casino.Darius trusted Edward’s abilities, so he left for the airport.Bridget followed along with a slightly hesitative expression. “Sir, you can move around on foot later. You can use our family's own car.”Darius stopped, then looked at his shocked friend, whose jaw had dropped despite only being able to see through a slightly opened swollen eye. Darius knew Rudd’s exaggerated expression was only because the latter felt shocked. Still, seeing that pleased Darius. He reached out to give Rudd’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “Don’t be so surprised. I merely reunited with my family. It turns out that my grandfather is super wealthy, and so are my great-grandparents.”Those words did not ease Rudd’s shock. Instead, he uttered a string of foul curses to display how taken aback he felt.It was only after the car screeched to a halt before them and grains of sand flew into Rudd’s parted li

Darius felt it was necessary to draw aclear line between his subordinates’ service to their superiors and thelatter’s friends.…He waited for Rudd to alight the car beforeturning around and extending his arms wide. “Come along. Let’s give you a tour ofmy private jet.”Once Rudd set foot on the airport grounds,he wondered if the plane they were boarding belonged to Darius' family. Nowthat Darius had confirmed that suspicion, Rudd’s jaw fell agape as he muttered,“D-Damn. It seems like you can afford plenty of luxuries now. Still, whatshocks me more is that you still see me as your friend. You came to save melike you would’ve done back then.”Seeing how touched his friend was, Dariusblinked several times before replying, “Duh. We’re best mates, after all.”He had ascended the private jet’s steps bythe time he finished speaking. He looked at the door while motioning toward thejet’s interior. “Hurry up. We’ve still got plenty of things to do.”Rudd immediately clambered aboard

Chapter 129 Generous Hospitality##James had a gentle look on his face as heextended both arms welcomingly. “I hope God blesses you with better things,young man.”Rudd never dreamed that he could enter theReid residence’s front doors. After all, the Reids were rich beyond belief—tothe point where someone like Rudd was unworthy of even mentioning their name.Now, alongside entering the residence, Rudd even got to experience suchgenerous hospitality.The excitement caused his chest to tighten,leaving him breathless again.Seeing that, James put down his arms andchuckled. “I suppose my presence might make things slightly awkward, so I’ll beon my way now.”He then promptly turned on his heel toleave with his walking cane in hand.Rudd’s jaw stayed agape for the longesttime. Never in a million years did he imagine tycoons like the Reid familybehaving kindly toward those with less wealth.Once Darius and Rudd were the only onesleft in the hallway, the latter spoke up in a meek t

"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
