The Consortium's Heir Chapter 30
Darius nodded and settled into the back seat of the cab. He was finally beginning his search for a new apartment.Darius found himself driving through various luxurious buildings as the cab moved. Darius had never been to this part of town before, so he was taken aback by the opulence of the buildings. Finally after driving for over 45 minutes, the cab came to stop at a very luxurious gate. Darius waited for a few seconds for the driver to move forward but there was no sign of movement from the driver. Confused, Darius decided to ask what the issue was. “Hello, could you please go further? Or is there a reason we’re stopping here?” Darius asked. When he heard Darius' question, the cab driver who was a middle-aged man, lightly shook his head. It seemed that his hunch was right after all. His passenger clearly had no clue how Dragon Estate worked. “Pardon me Sir, but I really cannot go any further than this. Is this by chance Sir’s first visit to Dragon Estate?” the cab driver aske
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 31
Darius was obviously unaware of the conversation between the duo security guards. Instead he was smitten by the luxury and opulence of the estate. The entire estate was crammed with opulent shops and several tall buildings. Numerous pricey sedans and sports cars sped down the street. The shops were noticeably superior to those found outside the estate. Darius had no idea that such an opulent location existed. It seemed very surreal to him. In his fascinated state, he had forgotten that Bruce had never given him a specific location to visit. He only realized after a while that Bruce had only mentioned Dragon Estate and the manager. He brought out his phone and called Bruce. The phone didn’t ring once before Bruce picked up the call. “Hello Young Master Reid. Is anything the problem?” Bruce answered in an overly respectful voice. “Hm. I’m at Dragon Estate now and I just recalled that you only mentioned the Estate and the Manager. There are several housing apartments in this estate.

The receptionist looked at Darius with contempt. She didn’t understand what he was trying to do? Was he intending to use his phone to make a call as a display of his strength? Darius noticed her contemptuous expression but ignored her. The phone rang only once before Bruce picked up the phone call. "Young Master Reid! Is everything alright Young Master?!” Bruce inquired anxiously. “Yes. Everything is alright.” Darius replied in a reassuring tone. Bruce let out an audible sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. The young master was alright. “If everything is alright then why did you call Young Master Reid?” Bruce asked; confusion evident in his voice. “Hm. I'm currently at the Dragon Lord's Imperial Residence, and the receptionist has refused me a meeting with the residence's manager. Could you please notify the manager that I am waiting for her in the lobby?" Darius inquired cheerfully, his gaze fixed on the receptionist as he spoke. “How dare she?! She’ll be there at onc
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 33
When the manager of the Dragon Lord's Imperial Residence heard Mr. Bruce's threat, she was completely taken aback. He had repeatedly informed her that an extremely important guest would be arriving and that she should treat him with the utmost respect, but she had no idea that the guest had already arrived. If she had, she would have dropped what she was doing and attended to the guest immediately! Even though she was the manager of Dragon Lord's Imperial Residence, she had witnessed how Mr. Bruce treated those who were obviously superior to her. If Bruce could treat the people superior to her like ants, how important was the person who Mr. Bruce himself had referred to as an extremely important guest? Without any delay the manager stood up, picked her phone and ran out of her office. She had to make amends for her actions no matter what otherwise she would have to face the brunt of Mr. Bruce’s anger! Meanwhile, in the lobby of the Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence, the receptionist

The receptionist; whose name was Maureen looked at Darius again with a pleading gaze. She figured out that Darius was way higher than the manager herself in the social hierarchy therefore if Darius forgave her rude behavior then the Manager would naturally drop it. Unfortunately for her, Darius didn’t give her the time of the day. “I asked if what Mr. Reid here says is true Maureen?” the manager repeated loudly, narrowing her eyes at Maureen. “It was a misunderstanding Manager Elle. I didn’t know that you were expecting a visitor. Please pardon my impudence!” Elle begged. She saw that Darius wasn’t going to forgive her and neither was he going to plead her case to the Manager. The only option left for her was to plead for mercy herself. “So it is true then.” Manager Elle said in a sad tone. It was no wonder Mr. Bruce was very angry at her. The attitude that Maureen showed to Darius was not just unacceptable but also very unprofessional. She sighed. It seemed that she had been ver

“It’s alright, Manager Elle. I just hope that you keep a closer watch on your employees so that such a thing wouldn’t repeat itself again.” Darius said in a casual tone.Manager Elle felt a huge sense of relief wash over her when she heard Darius’ statement.“Certainly Mr. Reid. I assure you that such a thing would never happen again!” Manager Elle declared with sincerity. She vowed silently to monitor the behavior of her employees closely this time. She would never allow anyone to soil the reputation of the Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence!“That’s good to hear Manager Elle.” Darius said. “Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I think it’s time for you to show me around, isn’t it?”“Most definitely Mr. Reid.” The manager answered cheerily. “This way Mr. Reid.”The interior of the elevator was just like anywhere else in the Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence, Luxurious. The whole elevator seemed like it was made of the most expensive materials.After a few minutes, the elevator stopp

“Do not worry about the price Mr. Reid. We wouldn’t dare demand a payment from you.” Elle said politely with a smile on her face. Darius looked at her with confusion in his gaze. “What do you mean by that Manager Elle?” Darius asked in a confused tone. Elle looked back at Darius when she heard his question. Did he really want to pay for the apartment? Mr. Bruce had informed her strictly to cater to all the needs of the guest. Surely that included the payment for the apartment. Why was Darius then asking for the price of the apartment? Unknowingly to Elle, Mr. Bruce hadn’t informed Darius about the Reid Consortium owning 95% of the shares of Dragon Estate, so Darius behavior was perfectly logical. After all there was no sane person who would inspect an apartment he liked and would not ask for the price. “I like the apartment and would like to know the price for the apartment so that I can pay for it. Why would you give such an expensive apartment for free?” Darius asked. Darius

“Here’s your meal sir.” The waitress said. However when she brought her gaze to Darius her face heated up and her cheeks turned red.“Thank you.” Darius said, dragging the table with his meal into the room before closing the door.The waitress stood motionless outside the door even after Darius had closed it. Her cheeks began to heat up as she recalled Darius' extremely attractive face, his exposed muscular chest, and his magnificently developed abdominal muscles that appeared to have been carved and sculpted by a Greek god.She let out a small shriek as several inappropriate thoughts flashed through her mind. She slapped herself lightly on her already red cheeks before making her way to the hotel kitchen. She still had several people waiting for to deliver their food to them.----Two days had passed since Darius visited the Dragon Estate in search of a new apartment. Elle had kept to her words so it took only one day for the maintenance in the apartment to be completed. When Darius

"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
