The Consortium's Heir Chapter 278
“Kate’s identityis all over the internet now, and someone could do anything to harm her at anytime. Yet instead of thinking of a way to resolve this, you’re allowing her tojust stand here.”Benji’s eyeswidened, and there was a mixture of shock and regret in them. Darius looked athim with pity, but he didn’t stop. He knew the words he was about to utter nextwould only be more hurtful. “I’m sure youdidn’t think about this, but from the moment you brought your family here, yourecognized my relationship with Kate! From the second you showed up here, noone would believe you anymore, no matter what you said or what evidence youcould provide.”Darius’ voicewasn’t loud, nor was he forceful. Still, Benji could feel that his shirt wasdrenched with sweat. He seemed to lose the strength to remain on his feet, sohe slowly sat down and buried his head in his hands. Then, he grabbed his hairand tugged it harshly.Darius could seehow much despair he was in, but there was nothing he co

However, when hesensed the shift in Benji’s emotions, he immediately turned back to look atBenji. Caught in the act, Benji stiffened. At the same time, he lookedthoughtful.The Andersonfamily was affluent, so he’d seen many martial arts experts. None of them hadthe sensitivity Darius possessed, however. Benji found it hard to believe thatsuch a sharp person was poor. In fact, if hecould gain control of the Anderson family, he’d definitely want to take Dariusunder his wing, provided he had enough money to do so.Darius wassurprised by Benji’s pondering again, but it didn’t take long for Benji toreturn to his senses. Calypso lookedfurious. She clenched her fists tightly and swung them around, her voice likenails on a chalkboard as she screeched, “That’s enough! You’re such adisappointment! You’re my brother, and I’m the only person in this world thatshares your blood. Yet, you’re protecting William’s daughter even though he’salready dead!”Silence descendedupon them fo
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 280
Darius didn’t sayanything, though. There wasn’t any need to because Kate had already startedscreeching, “Calypso Anderson, let go of Darius this instant, and I’ll turn ablind eye to what you’ve done so far. Once my father’s back, I won’t tell himabout this, either.”Calypso quicklystopped when she heard this. Then, she whipped around so swiftly that her hairwhipped against Darius’ face. He frowned but didn’t say anything. Calypso wanted tolet go of him but didn’t dare do so. She knew that someone of his wealthdefinitely had bodyguards protecting him, but for some reason, they hadn’t doneanything to her. If she were tolet go of him at this moment, there was no way Darius’ bodyguards would let heroff the hook.She discreetlytook in her surroundings at this thought, but no one appeared. She relaxed alittle, looked at Kate, and said lowly, “Kate, your father’s still alive, isn’the? You know where he is and how he’s doing.” Her tone went from beingquestioning to certain.K

Leah’s voice wasfirm, and her eyes were confident.Kate took a deepbreath, clenched her fists, and started to tremble. As time passed, hertrembling grew worse.Benji wasn’t muchbetter off, but he took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then, he placed ahand on Kate’s shoulder and said, “There’s no need to get mad over the thingsshe said. She grew up withher mother and was educated the same way. Trust me—I may not be the brightest,but I’m definitely the best at telling right from wrong among everyonepresent.”Kate could tellhe was trying his best to comfort her, but she could sense that he wasn’t doingtoo well himself. She took a deep breath to calm herself, then turned to lookat Darius with reddened eyes. “I think youhelped me to make the correct decision.” Then, she looked away.Calypso had alreadyrecovered from her earlier embarrassment. At Kate’s words, she shot to her feetand dashed over to Darius, grabbing him by the collar again. “It looks likeWilliam’s disap

“If this werejust between the two of us, I would still accept you as my brother. But that’snot the case! You’re accusing and hurting your sister because of Darius’words!” Calypso spat out. Her expression was twisted as she bent over andpounded herself on the chest.A trace of painflashed in Benji’s eyes at the sound of her fists coming into contact with herchest, but he didn’t waver this time. He shut his eyes, took a deep breath, andsaid, “You’re no longerthe sister I remember, and you’ve become a completely different person. Orperhaps, you’ve been lying to me since we were children. It doesn’t matter—notanymore. Too many things have happened for us to return to how things used tobe.”Calypso gaped athim. Darius swept his gaze over everyone present, then raised an eyebrow andpatted Kate on the shoulder. When she didn’t react, he smiled and reached outto push her jaw back up. Only then did shenotice the warmth on her jaw. She backed away, then turned to look at him. H

##He was caughtup in his shock at Calypso’s words. He opened his mouth a few times to saysomething but failed. It only made Calypso angrier. She panted loudly andturned away from him, her gaze landing on Darius.Suddenly, shesmiled, making a chill run down the spines of everyone present. This didn’tinclude Darius, of course. He stood there with his hands in his pockets,looking exactly the same as normal.This surprisedCalypso. She walked over to him, wanting to touch his face. However, she’d onlystarted reaching out when he grabbed her wrist. Then, a sharp pain shot throughher arm. This was completely out of her expectations.Her face twistedwith pain. Darius looked at her, his face devoid of emotion and his voice calm.“It’s been a while since I last came across someone with such nerve. Let me tryto recall how the last person died.” He looked at hermildly, but it made her shudder. Despite this, she didn’t look away from him.Her hatred was obvious, and she didn’t back do
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 284
Almostinstinctively, Benji wanted to deny this. He’d already opened his mouth tospeak, but Darius beat him to it. “Look, there’s noneed for you two to act this way because Calypso won’t make it out of thisalive. I won’t allow someone who’s plotted against me repeatedly and wants touse me to achieve her hidden agenda to remain in this world.” His tone wasdevoid of warmth.Benji frowned,feeling slightly anxious, but he didn’t dare to do anything too out of placebecause of Darius’ abilities. He took a deep breath before saying seriously, “Ican apologize to you on her behalf.”Before he couldcontinue, Calypso cut him off shrilly. “Benji Anderson, that’s enough! I don’tneed you to put up such an act in front of me. Anyway, it’s obvious that youtwo have your own issues to work out, so stop dragging me into your mess!”Benji was shockedat her words, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that once therewas a misunderstanding between two people, it wouldn’t be an easy f

He smiled. “Ah,it’s you. I remember that you were expelled because of your bad record. Also,the university tested you psychologically and determined that you had a highpropensity for violence.” As Darius spoke,he pulled his hands out of his pocket and allowed them to rest by his side.Though he didn’t think Holt was a threat, there was no denying that Holt couldlaunch a sudden attack on any of the people present.Holt looked atDarius and laughed mockingly. He rolled his sleeves up and cracked his knuckles.“It looks likethe beatings you received back in university didn’t leave much of an impressionon you. You don’t seem to remember what we rich people are capable of, but Isuppose they’re the ones to be blamed for not being able to teach you a lesson.It’s okay—I’ll teach you a lesson on their behalf.” He turned to face Darius.At his words,Calypso couldn't hold herself back anymore. This was mostly due to herstupidity—earlier, she’d suspected Darius was a wealthy person! H

"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
