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

“It never crossed his mind that someone would be able to defeat him.” As Darius spoke, he walked toward the sofa Drake was seated on earlier. There were two boxes on the coffee table before it.Edward followed him, his mouth agape in surprise. After spending such a long time by Darius’ side, he had some understanding of how he operated, and he didn’t think Darius would destroy the Moore Group solely to protect Almiron City.He asked in a small voice, “Sir, did you know Drake in the past?” Then, he shrunk back and watched Darius nervously.Darius looked out the window. In that instant, Edward felt like Darius’ mind was light-years away. The feeling didn’t go away even as Darius spoke. “Before my return to the Reid family, I was a poor orphan who had to work odd jobs to continue my education. I’ve always believed even the poor deserved to be loved, and I thought I met someone who loved me for who I was. Unfortunately, she disagreed. She cheated on me with someone rich, and Drake was on
