The Consortium's Heir Chapter 598
“I figured that if you guys could get along well, I wouldn’t interfere. Now, it looks like things aren’t as straightforward as I thought.” Darius’ eyes were frosty as he looked Yarlyn in the eye. A few seconds later, he suddenly exhaled and started gasping for breath. Darius’ face softened. “Welcome back, Shelvin.”Shelvin coughed violently, putting a hand on the wall to keep himself upright as he nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Reid. I wouldn’t have made it back alive if not for you.” His eyes were red from his coughing fit. “The bastard used his black life force to suffocate me. I’m nothing but a ball of consciousness, but I almost died of asphyxiation! Do you know how humiliating that is? It looks like I was being too merciful toward his son.” As he spoke, he turned to walk back into the room.Darius didn’t budge. He frowned and watched Shelvin storm off. Shelvin was injured—at least, his supply of life force had been cut off earlier—and should’ve been extremely weak at the moment. Besi

Darius raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. “I’m surprised you’re so open-minded.” He smiled in satisfaction. “I didn’t expect this. It’s rare that I’m pleased, so I’ll reward you for this.” William looked pleasantly surprised at his words, making him smile again. “Your attitude surprises me every time.”William didn’t say anything, but the smile on his face widened. Darius leaned back and took a deep breath. “If that’s the case, I promise you that I won’t bear a grudge against your family for everything that’s happened before today. I’ll wipe the slate clean.”William’s eyes widened. Darius raised an eyebrow, thinking about how different William was from his sister, Calypso. From what he’d seen so far, every member of the Anderson family placed great importance on relationships and emotional bonds—whether familial or not—but Calypso seemed to be the exception to this. The only person she cared about was herself. He didn’t linger on these thoughts for long; it wasn’t any of his bus

Darius raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and smiled. “I still don’t trust you. If the Reid Consortium were to acquire the Anderson Group, how would it be different from being sold off by Calypso? Either way, it’ll end up belonging to someone else, and the Anderson family will no longer be independent.”William’s eyes turned redder as he said anxiously, “Please, stop saying that. I’m telling you nothing but the truth! Besides, the two situations are completely different! The Anderson family has been around for many years, but it’s only become what it is now through my hard work. Obviously, Calypso couldn’t care less about that—that’s why she’s taking advantage of my absence to sell my heart and soul. And if the company were to be sold to anyone but you, the Anderson name will forever be forgotten. I can’t live with that.” He trained his gaze on Darius without any hesitation.Though William seemed to be moving in slow motion in Darius’ eyes, his instinct as an enlightened martial artist told

At the same time, she turned to look at Darius. When Erin saw the calm look on his face, she knew she’d guessed correctly and gulped. After a long moment, she asked, “William isn’t out of his mind, is he?”Darius shook his head and sighed. “He’s too worried about his daughter.” He turned to look at a corner of the Anderson family’s villa despite it being too far away for them to see anything. A few seconds later, he said, “Hurry up.”The chauffeur nodded. “Yes, sir.” He put the pedal to the metal, and they shot forward so quickly that Erin was pressed onto her seat due to the momentum. Less than a minute later, they arrived at the villa, which was more than a mile away. Darius raised an eyebrow and silently gave the chauffeur a thumbs-up.William Anderson was lying on the ground, and Darius couldn’t sense his breathing because too many people surrounded him. He got out of the car, walked to William, and saw his chest rise weakly. The bodyguards didn’t know who he was, but they could

His comrades had abandoned him mid-fight! His breathing sped up, but he didn’t change his mind. He pointed at them and roared, “You’re all weak, cowardly, good-for-nothings! Look at the clothes he’s wearing—they’re obviously cheap and low quality, which means he lives in squalor. Don’t you guys even have the nerve to beat up a poor and powerless man? I’m humiliated to be associated with you guys!”He turned back to Darius. This time, his gaze was appraising. He looked Darius up and down, then cleared his throat and said, “Brat, I’ll give you a word of advice—the Anderson family’s wealthier than you could imagine, and Miss Calypso’s gotten to know plenty of wealthy people recently. They’ve invested in the Anderson family, and we’ve even gotten pay raises. You have no hope of winning against them!” His tone was resolute, and he was obviously proud to say this.Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled. “You may be right, but there’s one thing you’ve gotten wrong—the Anderson family might not

Darius let go of him, crossed his arms, and took a few steps back while looking at him mockingly. “I thought you’d realize what a huge mistake you made and apologize to me.”William gaped at him. He didn’t know what to say, so he remained silent, merely lowering his eyes to the ground.When Darius saw he wasn’t willing to say anything, even in such a situation, he didn’t push him. Instead, he turned to walk into the villa. The bodyguards made to stop him again, but they stiffened when he stopped. Then, he stretched out an arm and sent some life force their way, forming fists with it and landing blows on them. They immediately collapsed onto the ground, and Darius smiled. No one dared to speak, including William. He merely followed Darius into the villa.Contrary to Darius’ expectations, William didn’t trail him for long. Once they were in the villa, he immediately headed toward the staircase. Darius wanted to stop him but ultimately didn’t—William had moved too quickly. And so, Dari

“He might be in a lot of danger now because he’s useless to those people.”“Those people?” Darius raised an eyebrow, looking curious. “Who are you talking about?”Kate looked hesitant, but she quickly made up her mind and said, “I don’t know either. All I know is they were in black robes.”Darius frowned. He buried his confusion and placed a hand on Kate’s arm. “Got it. I’ll save your uncle, but you and your father need to get out of here.”Kate relaxed at his promise, then turned to look at William. “Dad, let’s go. I trust Darius. Now that he’s promised me, he’ll definitely save Uncle Benji.” William nodded and turned to look at Darius with a complicated gaze. He parted his lips to ask for more details but ultimately decided against it.Darius said calmly, “Don’t worry, Benji will be fine. You two will only cause more trouble for me if you stay.” After that, he turned away from them to face the people who’d gathered outside the room.Calypso was in the lead, and she looked at Willia
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 605
This time, however, Calypso had a pleading look in her eyes. William frowned and moved to stand behind Kate, using her to block Calypso’s gaze. Instantly, Calypso’s eyes widened, and her breathing sped up.Darius smiled. “Alright, we have a definite answer now—your brother isn’t going to save you.”Calypso pursed her lips tightly and turned to face Darius. Her eyes darted around crazily as she tried to figure out what Darius meant. Darius’ smile widened as he said, “You’ve given up hope by now, right? Are you ready to tell me everything?” His tone wasn’t dangerous or threatening, making Calypso’s heart settle in her chest again. She said shakily, “Let go of me, and I’ll allow you to leave. I can act as if none of this happened.”Darius raised an eyebrow, and the look on his face became mocking. “Honestly, you’re dumber than I thought.” His disdain made her eyes bulge. “I’m not blind—I saw every minute change in your expression. Come now, let’s have a nice chat.” He looked her in the

"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
