The Consortium's Heir Chapter 330
“If you think I haven’t toed the line, you can file a complaint against me—provided you’re able to do that.” He looked at Alicia sharply and shouted, “I’m running out of patience, and I’ll give you one last chance to get out of my way! Otherwise, I’ll arrest all of the hotel’s staff, whether or not they’re involved.”Silence descended upon them. Alicia put her hands behind her back and returned Borisin’s gaze coldly. This was her first time dealing with an unreasonable official who didn’t do things by the book. It looked like she was about to mess up her first assignment as the lobby manager. She took a deep breath, and her expression became defeated.Borisin raised an eyebrow at this and smiled. “Since you already know you’re no use, you should get out of the way.” He thought that he’d finally be able to step foot into the hotel, but things didn’t go his way. Alicia remained rooted to the spot. She smiled at him, but the ice in her eyes was apparent. Obviously, she only smiled beca

“Then I’m sure that you guys should know that I don’t even consider Borisin a threat. If I really wanted to take his life, I’d have a thousand ways of ensuring none of you knew about us coming into contact.”Everyone’s eyes widened. None of them could believe that Darius had said something like that out loud and in front of so many people. However, that was exactly what happened. Silence descended upon the crowd again—no one knew what to say.Darius pinched the back of his neck, then smiled and said, “Since no one’s saying anything, I’ll take it to mean that all of you agree with me.” He looked at the live stream to see that there were no comments. This was the only time this had happened since the live stream had begun, and he exhaled before looking at the four fans hiding around the corner.“You guys were probably too busy trying to cause trouble for me that you missed witnessing Felix’s death, but I’m sure it’s all over the internet. I don’t mind giving you guys the chance to look

“I didn’t expect you to ask me about it.”Darius shrugged, not really interested in Borisin’s opinion. He sat back down on the sofa and shrugged. “So, why’d you come here to see me?”“They’re suspecting me.” Borisin sounded calm, but there was a deep frown on his face. It showed that he wasn’t as calm as he sounded.Darius also frowned. “How did things end up like this? Haven’t you been acting exactly the way they wanted you to?”Borisin leaned back, shut his eyes, and sighed. “That’s the thing that I don’t get, but I’m sure that they’re suspicious of me now, especially about our relationship. Before I came here today, they made it extremely clear to me that I had to bring you back no matter what.”Darius leaned back and pressed his temples. “If that’s the case, you can take me away now.”Borisin’s eyes widened, and he shook his head. “No, if I take you away, no one knows what you’ll be put through, and it’ll be a huge blow to the Reid Consortium. Taking you away at this moment will o

Borisin looked at Darius helplessly. “So, before they can find someone to beat you, they’ll always choose me to be your opponent.” He sighed. “I’m already dreading that day.” He walked toward Darius and put a new mobile phone on the table. “If things go smoothly, they’ll tap your existing number so that they can listen in on all your calls and read your messages. With this phone, they won’t be able to do that—it can only send messages to another number of mine outside their surveillance.”He backed up with his eyes still trained on Darius. “Now, I’ve completed everything that I came here to do, and I think it’s time for me to leave. If I continue to linger, people will start thinking that something’s afoot, putting everything we’ve done so far to waste. That won’t benefit either of us.” After saying this, Borisin immediately turned and strode out of the room.Darius wanted to stop him, but he was already gone. He shook his head helplessly but still walked toward the corridor. What

The fan’s courage was further bolstered by Borisin not doing anything. She removed her hands from her hips and pointed at him, saying with her head held high, “Are you acting like this because you know I’m right? You went in there to negotiate with Darius, and he must’ve bought you over. That’s why you came out here to push the blame on us! You must’ve also decided not to take him away!”Borisin didn’t look too happy. He said, “The truth behind Felix jumping off the building is all over the internet, and he’s clearly told the world about his true intentions and mistakes. Aside from you guys, everyone else who watched the live stream should know about this.” After a short pause, he smiled mockingly. “Or perhaps someone among your companions knows the truth but didn’t bother telling you—not that I care. I want you to stop using your opinions to affect our work. Since this is your first time doing something like this, I won’t take you away. However, if you pull something like this agai

He never thought he’d hear those words come out of his grandfather’s mouth. Ever since his return to the Reid family, he’d slowly picked up the reins under his grandfather’s tolerant watch. However, James wasn’t allowing him the time to mature slowly anymore. Darius had never expected this to happen. Moreover, James had announced this so suddenly and seriously.Darius felt his heart start to race. He didn’t know how to explain his situation, so he remained silent. To his surprise, James didn’t say anything too. In fact, James regretted his words the second they were out of his mouth. He coughed to conceal his awkwardness, then took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry for saying something mean in the heat of the moment, Darius. I want you to know that’s not how I really feel—you’ve always been an outstanding child. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to shoulder the costs of your studies alone. At the same time, you’ve managed to remain at the top of your class at Kingston Universi

She bowed deeply at him and said, “I know I’ve made too many mistakes recently for you to turn a blind eye, and I’m not here to ask for forgiveness—all I want to do is hand over my work. From now on, I won’t show up in front of you unless it’s absolutely necessary or if you ask for me. I know it will only upset you.”Darius felt a little uncomfortable at her shaky tone, and he felt like he was being a little cruel. This feeling soon disappeared, though. “If those are your true thoughts, perhaps you’ll have a chance of returning to my side.” He waved a hand and said, “That’s too far in the future to say, though. Now, you need to leave my room. I’ve spent way too much time and energy on you today, and I don’t want to do that anymore.”Erin paled again. She didn’t want to leave but knew she had no choice. Moreover, Darius had already softened his stance a little after she’d admitted to her mistakes—he’d said that there was a chance she could return to his side and work for him. This was

He shook his head, then turned to his computer to review a report of the company’s performance in the last quarter. A few minutes later, he frowned. After quickly scrolling through the report again, he pressed a finger to his temple while picking up his phone with his other hand. It took him a while to find Zack’s number, which showed how rarely they’d contacted each other since he hired Zack.He sighed, thinking of Erin again. He knew that things had to be tough on her now, but this was the only way to resolve the issue. Erin had made too many mistakes while working with him, and if he continued to turn a blind eye without taking any corrective measures, it wouldn’t bode well for either of them in the long term. This was the best way to handle the issue; it was a measure he’d come up with after long consideration. He hoped that Erin would learn her lesson from this incident and mature. With this thought in mind, he took a deep breath and called Zack. Zack was dazed to see Darius ca

"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
