The Consortium's Heir Chapter 522
He gave Darius a wary look. “What’s with that look on your face? Haven’t I been kind enough to you?”Darius raised an eyebrow, not wanting to waste his breath. He turned his palms outward, channeled his life force into his palms, then shot it at the muscular man’s chest. The muscular man paled; he thought Darius wouldn’t do anything to him, and he’d definitely make it out of this alive. He didn’t expect Darius to suddenly launch an attack on him. As he instinctively shielded his chest with his arms, he clearly felt the life force stab into his arms and shoulders like sharp blades. The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, and the muscular man gaped at Darius with bloodshot eyes. Indeed, he’d imagined being seriously injured or getting killed here, but he hadn’t expected it to happen in this manner.Darius raised an eyebrow, looking condescending. “You sounded so determined and confident earlier that I almost wanted to applaud. It’s good that I didn’t—look at how fragile and superf
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 523
Darius opened his eyes and raised an eyebrow when he heard this. If his memory served him right, this voice didn’t belong to any of the people he’d seen since coming here. His curiosity was piqued, so he got out of bed. Then, he grabbed the jacket he’d placed beside his bed and placed it over his shoulders before walking to the window. He pushed it open, leaned out, and looked down. When he saw the face of the person who’d spoken, he raised an eyebrow. It was a face he remembered—this man hadn’t moved away from his corner last night. Even as the people around him lost their lives, he’d watched things unfold coldly. It made him stand out like a sore thumb among the anxious people. On the first floor, Bridget pulled her phone out and called Darius. He exhaled, answered it, and said coldly, “Find a way to get him to join us, then end him. He can’t be allowed to stay alive.”Bridget raised an eyebrow. She didn’t know why Darius was giving her such a command, but as his bodyguard, her d

Darius turned to look at the first man to write his name down. To his surprise, the man truly had organized his people well. They were standing together in a neat formation, and the person in the lead held a folder. When he saw Darius, he hurried over and held the folder out with both hands.Darius raised an eyebrow, but he didn’t say anything. He accepted the folder and flipped through the documents inside. He looked calm, but on the inside, he was well and truly surprised. He asked, “Who prepared these documents?”The man who handed him the folder answered without hesitation, “I did. Have I made a mistake somewhere?” Though he hadn’t hesitated to answer, his tone was still shaky.Darius shook his head. “No.” He returned the folder to the man. “There’s no need for a site visit. Let’s move on to the next person.” At this moment, he heard cars speeding toward them in the distance. He frowned and turned to face the entrance, looking displeased. Soon, the cars appeared before his very ey

He moved his hands away from the computer and placed them on the desk.Bridget shook her head. “No, everything’s fine. I just wanted to let you know that the first guy to step forward earlier—his name’s Pierce Bronson—volunteered to do it for me. It seems like something he can handle, so I agreed.”She clasped her hands and looked at him, waiting for his response. She didn’t know whether he would allow this—before this, she had no doubt he’d agree. Now that she could see the look on his face, she started to worry she’d made the wrong decision.Darius sensed her nervousness and shook his head. “Don’t worry; you made the right choice. Is there anything else you wanted to say? I don’t think you’d show up here to report something so unimportant to me.”A trace of surprise flashed across her face. She didn’t expect Darius to place so much trust in her; she was starting to transition from merely executing orders to having the discretion to make decisions independently. It made her happy, bu

“It’ll make you seem like a useless weakling.” Darius tucked his hands in his pockets and turned to leave. As he walked past Edward, he sensed his nervousness. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Keep up.”Edward’s mind went blank again, but he soon returned to his senses and hurried to Darius, remaining one step behind him. As they headed toward the elevator, they heard someone hurrying toward them from the stairwell. Darius stopped and turned in its direction, where Bridget appeared.Her eyes lit up when she saw him, and she said, “Sir, you have no idea how glad I am to see you here. The banquet’s already begun; do you intend on saying anything to the guests?”Darius nodded. “Yeah, I was just on my way there.” At this moment, the elevator doors opened with a ding. It was empty, so he stepped inside and pressed a button. “I’m leaving after saying a few words to them. Take this opportunity to report the banquet to the authorities while I pay a few organizations a visit. This is the last t

“Don’t worry, Mr. Reid. I’ll deal with them as quickly as possible.” Edward hurried toward the car. However, he’d only taken a few steps when someone grabbed him by the collar.Darius looked at him calmly and said, “All you need to do is keep your eyes shut.” Edward’s heart started to race—he knew what would happen. He couldn’t stop a smile from curving his lips, and he shut his eyes. In the next second, he felt the cold wind slap against his face. Though he was an enlightened martial artist, he couldn’t move as quickly as Darius could, and he didn’t have the ability to move in mid-air.He cracked his eyes open just a little to peek at their surroundings and saw they were moving so quickly that the lights beneath them looked like meteors. If not for the place, timing, and the fact he was with his boss, he’d probably be applauding and cheering.Darius sensed his excitement, and his lips twitched. His voice rang out clearly through the billowing wind as he said, “Edward, you’re an enli

##The “other men” referred to Edward and the others from the Moore Group. The fact that Darius was standing there with a relaxed smile irked its leader, Drake Moore. It made him feel like he was being looked down upon. He gnashed his teeth and glared daggers at Darius, saying, “I didn’t expect you to serve yourself up on a silver platter, Darius Reid. Have you forgotten the things you did to survive when you were nothing but a poor orphan?”Darius’ smile faded. Few people had limited knowledge of the odd jobs he’d worked, especially after his return to the Reid family. He looked at Drake curiously. “You seem to know a lot about my past.” He frowned.Drake smiled, looking pleased with himself. “Of course. After all, we’ve already decided to be kind and merely rob you of your wealth. We had to do our homework, didn’t we?” He let out a mocking laugh. He made it sound like what he had in mind was a run-of-the-mill matter, almost as if he was doing Darius a favor.Darius looked at him. “Si

Drake’s eyes became bloodshot. He knew he was no match for Edward, but he refused to lie here and accept defeat! His gaze turned menacing as he shouted hoarsely at his men, “Stop standing there like fucking idiots! Get him!” The veins in his neck bulged with the force he was exerting. After saying that, he suddenly seemed to lose whatever strength he had left and struggled to catch his breath.Darius raised an eyebrow and gave him a pitying look as if he was watching a pig waiting to get slaughtered. Drake had never felt this insulted before, and he couldn’t take it. At this moment, Darius turned away from him to face his men. They were moving toward him—they weren’t exactly fleet-footed, but it was still enough to prove their stance. He smirked and snorted, and they immediately stopped moving.Darius gave Drake a mocking smile. “It amuses me that you’ve placed your hope in these good-for-nothings.” Drake’s face darkened, and his eyes bulged with rage. He tried and failed to turn hi

"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
