The Consortium's Heir Chapter 584
Darius held his breath the moment he saw Donald’s state. Perhaps he was wrong from the start; he should have never let Uriah take Donald into a holding cell. Maybe that way, Donald would not have gotten hurt this badly. Drowning in absolute guilt, Darius hated himself for trusting Uriah and being useless against Uriah’s abuse toward Donald. All of that set off another bout of rage in Darius. Thus, when Uriah pointed at Erin disrespectfully, Darius did not hesitate to shoot a bolt of life force toward Uriah. Even so, he did not exert much life force as he did not want to grant Uriah such a swift death. Uriah was unsure of what had happened, but he felt a robust burst of wind slam into his body, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the impact sent his body flying a distance away. He could even feel the wind blowing against his skin so harshly that it cut every inch of his arms. The worst part was Uriah’s back collided with the wall, but he did not fall onto

Gaze trembling from utter fear, Uriah boomed, “You’d better think carefully before doing what you’re about to, Darius Reid! Think about whether you can bear the consequences!”Darius cocked a brow while flashing his pearly whites. “I’m not going to lie; your words amuse me.”He then extended his arm to grab Uriah’s collar, except this time, he yanked Uriah out of the dent in the wall and threw Uriah to the space behind him. Only hostility was visible in his gleaming eyes just then. It stayed that way until Uriah landed on the ground with a loud thump. The only difference was that Uriah had not cried in pain this time; Uriah remained silent long after he crashed against the course floor.Darius pivoted on his heel, his nose scrunching into a sneer at Uriah while he spoke casually. “Oh? I’m impressed. You’re still alive.”On the ground, Uriah tried his best to move his arms, wanting to adjust himself and meet Darius’ gaze. He was determined to face Darius without shame or defeat, regar

As Uriah’s forehead dripped with sweat, he heard a familiar laugh from the hallway. Right away, he put on a cocky grin and exclaimed, “Hah! Take that, Darius! Have you finally realized how much of a fool you are? Do you know who’s that person laughing outside your hotel room?”His haughty gaze landed on Darius for a brief moment before vanishing entirely. Soon, he pursed his lips in fear when he heard Darius’ reply.“Your boss. Anyway, I’m glad you’re happy to see him. Let’s hope you can continue to stay this happy.” With that, Darius shifted his stern gaze toward the door.Similarly, Uriah lay on the ground and stared eagerly at the door while murmuring under his breath, “Just you wait, Darius! Death will deliver its final blow upon you soon enough!”Darius’ stoic gaze abruptly snapped toward Uriah. Although he did not say or do anything, his stare was enough to make the hairs down Uriah’s back stand straighter. Intimidated, Uriah shut his mouth but looked ahead with glimmering eyes

No matter how terrified Bryce was, he dared not move and only nodded stiffly in compliance.Lips curving into a satisfied smile, Darius said, “I had several exchanges with one of your police officers named Uriah, and I didn’t have the best experience with him. Not only that, but he made it clear that he stands with Gillette Group. Even though he fell short on his end of the deal, I still ensured you knew my every move and plan in Almiron City. Isn’t that right?”Sweat coated Bryce’s forehead, and he quickly glanced at Uriah. He then refocused on Darius with a smile while buttering up to the latter. “Dearest Mr. Reid, I don’t think this is necessary.”Placing his hands by his sides, he carried himself sincerely. He avoided Darius’ gaze and said, “We could renegotiate the terms of our collaboration.”Bryce could not help but tremble in fear. All he saw was Darius’ lips curl into a slight sneer, and even though Darius did not speak or react, he could already feel his scalp tingling with

“I didn’t kill him because I don’t think his mistakes warrant such a grave punishment,” said Darius, whose hands were behind his back as he strolled toward Uriah. Then, he smiled and added, “But it’s obvious you’re displeased with my decision.”Uriah lay on the ground, shutting his eyes and finally realizing how he had taken the wrong side this entire time. One could even say he was at fault from the beginning for doubting Darius. Despite that, Uriah could not suppress his skepticism toward everything; after all, Uriah felt things were going smoothly before this moment. Laying on the ground, he loosened his clenched jaw and stared into the space with a blank expression. Uriah began to question everything around him but kept those feelings to himself. Silence filled the room as he pondered when things turned against him.That was when Darius’ gaze briefly swept past the former. The quick look was enough to inform Darius what the former was thinking. Hence, he looked at Bryce with a s

Darius snickered, unable to hide his amusement. The situation was so baffling that his laughter grew louder by the second.Bryce frowned, turned on his heel, and looked at Darius. He wanted to question the latter, but Uriah beat him to speaking.“Have you lost your mind, Darius? You’ll never be rich because you’re a vile piece of trash! No matter what you paid to disguise yourself as this so-called rich man, that money has gone to waste now! We don’t believe you one bit!” Uriah yelled at the top of his lungs, despite him being out of breath and in pain.Darius looked at Shelvin, who shrugged and said, “I had to remove my needles. He would’ve permanently lost his voice otherwise. Besides, we can always shut him up a few minutes later.”After nodding, Darius turned to look at Bryce again. At that point, Bryce frowned as he did not understand what Uriah was implying. Yet, he could not ask Uriah to clarify under the current circumstances, especially since he could not confirm whether Dar

Bryce paled, his knees buckling once he heard the person speak on the phone—it was his superior.“This is Bryan Weiss’ phone. Who is this?” Bryce fell to his knees almost instantly, gazing at Darius nervously. He could no longer keep himself upright in that instant. His eyes trembled so much that they nearly fell out of their sockets.Sensing the former’s anxiousness, Darius smirked and replied, “It’s Darius.”The voice on the phone immediately adopted a respectful tone. “Oh! I’m honored to speak with you, Mr. Reid! May I know why you’ve called me?”A smile curved on Darius’ face, but it was merely due to formality rather than him showing his sincere joy. He spun on his heel to look at Bryce and snarl, “I believe you and I need to discuss my investment into your police force.”Two seconds of silence passed before Bryan chuckled sheepishly. Wanting to appease Darius, he asked with a tone of flattery, “Would you like to discuss it over the phone, or shall I head to your hotel?”Darius

Bryce dared not imagine what would happen to him next. He gawked at Darius, eventually closing his mouth and shutting his eyes in resignation.Darius sighed. Just as he felt slightly more in control of the situation and less powerless, an agonized scream burst from Uriah’s lips.“Darius, please, I’m begging you to kill my fiancée as quickly as you’re killing me now if she still behaves absurdly like before,” Uriah screamed. Then, he whipped his head to the side and grabbed Shelvin’s silver needles, stabbing them into his neck.That was not what Darius or Shelvin expected. That said, Shelvin was not as shocked as Darius; he approached Darius’ side and placed his hand on Darius’ shoulder. “Mr. Reid, please don’t be upset. Doing so was the best possible choice for Uriah.”The unexpected situation made him bite down on his lips so hard that they bled as he spoke.Darius turned to look at Shelvin just then. He quickly gathered his emotions and replied, “I understand. Let’s pull ourselves

"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
