The Consortium's Heir Chapter 526
“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

No matter the answer to his question, it wouldn’t change the fact that he was now up against this person. He looked at the woman frostily and asked, “Are you part of this organization?”The woman smiled gently. “That’s an interesting question. Have you forgotten what this organization’s called, or did you just not bother looking into its background?” Her voice was sweet and melodious, and her smile captured Edward’s attention.Darius didn’t even blink. He looked at her disdainfully and said, “You don’t realize how ridiculous you sound, do you? Anyway, you already tried and failed to get me with that move. Why were you stupid enough to try it again?” He smiled mockingly.The woman’s expression shifted, and she forced out through gritted teeth, “Darius Reid, I know you’re powerful, but your arrogance will be the cause of your downfall!” She gave him a menacing look.Darius’ smile grew, but he didn’t say anything in response. Instead, he channeled his life force to his palms. He still di

Edward turned to look at Isabella with a smile, but all she could sense was his mockery. She snorted and shut her eyes, which immediately made Edward feel clear-headed. Now, he knew why Darius wanted him to ask the questions. He said, “Mr. Reid, she seems to be more powerful than Drake Moore, but you managed to defeat Drake with a snap of your fingers. In fact, he had no objection to you recording a video of him. We didn’t even break a sweat when dealing with him.”Isabella opened her eyes and looked at them suspiciously. Darius tucked his hands in his pockets and shrugged. “Maybe it’s because Drake knows his limits. He looked at Isabella, stepped back, and cocked his head. “Edward, why don’t you send the video to Miss Brightstone? Perhaps she’ll learn a thing or two from it.”Darius sounded relaxed, but Isabella paled—she now believed everything he said, though she still didn’t know why Drake had chosen to go down without a fight. Despite being on edge, she still couldn’t help being

Darius leaped into the air just as Isabella launched her attack, so it missed him. He looked down and saw a black vortex where he had stood a second earlier; everything within a certain radius of the vortex was sucked inside.Edward’s lips twitched when he saw this, and he immediately moved away. He couldn’t guarantee his own safety, but he was sure if he came into contact with that vortex, he’d immediately lose his life. As he tried to think of a way to deal with Isabella, he subconsciously shuddered as the temperature around him suddenly dropped. It wasn’t because of a change in the weather—someone had laid their eyes on him. He frowned and turned to look in the direction the gaze was coming from, which led him to Isabella’s smiling face.For some reason, he suddenly didn’t feel cold anymore. On the contrary, a warmth filled him, which confused him. Just a second earlier, he’d found Isabella to be more terrifying than he had imagined. What was going on? Then, he jolted in shock as
