The Consortium's Heir Chapter 611
Darius’ gaze sharpened. The old man put his hands behind his back and looked at Darius appraisingly, allowing his gaze to travel over Darius. Darius didn’t say anything. Instead, he calmly lifted his head to meet the old man’s eyes. In that instant, he felt dazed, but he soon returned to his senses and enveloped himself in his life force. This time, the old man was the one who looked dazed. Similarly, he also returned to his senses a second later. He looked shocked. “I can’t believe I still share the same tastes as that old fart—we both chose you to take after us.”Darius frowned, a complicated look flitting across his face. He thought the old man had only discovered he was still alive; he didn’t expect him to also know about Teivel. Darius slowly retracted his arms and got to his feet. The old man frowned and stared at a spot on Darius’ arm, following it wherever it went. It made Darius’ hair stand on end. It seemed the old man was more powerful than he expected—from the moment he

Teivel smiled; it had been a while since he’d last smiled so earnestly. He sounded joyful, saying, “I’m glad to hear you refer to me like that.” After a pause, he continued, “He looks like that because he spent far too long in my body. Besides, he’s always done his best to imitate me.” He started to sound proud. “I’m sure you can now tell how exemplary I am.”Darius’ lips twitched. He didn’t expect Teivel to be in the mood for self-praise now. He turned to the old man and said, “You’ve imitated my mentor for many years.”The old man didn’t even blink. A few seconds later, he suddenly stretched out an arm in Darius’ direction, immediately obscuring Darius’ vision with his life force. Unfortunately for him, Darius had already shut his eyes and allowed the life force to push him backward. He knew he couldn’t fight fire with fire when going up against the old man, so he’d prepared himself for this.The old man’s eyes widened when he saw Darius being sent flying. He thought Darius would

Darius felt like he was going to freeze over. He was dazed when he opened his eyes and saw that his vision had recovered. At the same time, he realized he was floating in mid-air. Teivel was standing before his body, and the old man was standing before Teivel. The old man’s face was as twisted as before—none of his features were in their original spots, which meant there was no way of telling what exactly he looked like. Darius’ lips twitched as he walked—no, floated—over to his body.He frowned, reluctant to take his defeat lying down. He knew he had to be dead this time. However, the moment this thought popped into his mind, he knew he was wrong. When he floated over to his body, both Teivel and the old man turned to look at him, but their expressions were completely different. The former looked worried, while the latter looked murderous.Teivel said, “Get out of here. Lie down in your body; you’ll return to normal soon enough.” Darius looked surprised but still did as he was told
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 614
“It all boils down to one thing—you and I are on opposing sides!” As Teivel spoke, his gaze landed behind the old man’s spirit and on his body. His face turned frosty, and his breathing sped up. He turned back to look at the old man and said, “However, since we’re both still alive, we should leave the past behind us. Now, it’s time to settle new grudges.”The old man narrowed his eyes. “You mean like how you stole my disciple?”Teivel’s lips twitched. Then, he shook his head. “No, like how you stole my body.”An ugly look crept onto the old man’s face at his words. He glared at Teivel as his face started to twist with rage again. He roared, “No, this is my body! It’s mine!”At this moment, Darius could still hear what was happening. He wanted to do something but could only watch as his body and soul slowly merged. He’d never been this impatient for something to happen, and he tried to take a deep breath to calm himself. It didn’t work. Suddenly, he felt something warm drip onto him,

Darius’ eyes were red, and they were tearing up ever so slightly. He didn’t say anything; instead, he tried to channel all the gold life force he possessed into Bridget’s body. Soon, she felt like she’d recovered. She opened her eyes, looking more spirited than before. She frowned at him disapprovingly and tried to push him away, but Darius stopped her immediately. He looked more relaxed than before, but his tone was grim as he said, “You’re not completely okay yet, and nothing’s more important now than your recovery.” Bridget didn’t say anything. Darius continued, “Besides, you must get well as soon as possible. I still need your help with plenty of things.”Bridget looked at him with a smile and nodded. She was a little choked up as she said, “Yes, sir.” She had many questions but didn’t have the nerve to ask them at the moment. When Darius was sure she was fine, he reached out and pulled her to her feet. They stood atop a pile of debris that used to make up the Anderson family’s

Edward blinked, his eyes zeroing in on Darius and focusing. Then, his lips started trembling as he said, “Mr. Reid, I never would’ve expected to be able to see you again.”Darius rolled his eyes. “By that, do you mean you’d die, or were you afraid I’d die?”Edward faltered, then shook his head. “That’s not what I meant, sir.”Darius smiled. “I know that, of course. I just find your way of putting things amusing.” They shared a glance and saw the relief in each other’s eyes. Bridget was still standing atop the pile of debris as she watched the two of them chatting away beside the tornado, and she shook her head helplessly. Then, she cupped her hands around her mouth, channeled her life force to her throat, and said loudly, “Come on down! Mr. Reid, your mentor and that old man have left. We have to go after them.”Darius frowned. He thought Teivel and the old man had been transported somewhere else, similar to what had happened to himself before. It turned out they’d actually left. He

“Despite that, you’re bold enough to test my limits at this moment,” Darius finished, his nose scrunching up with disdain.The old man froze for what felt like forever. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head while retreating backward.Darius believed the man would have immediately knelt for mercy if the latter was not trying to escape. Thus, his gaze snapped doubtfully toward the man. “What are you trying to do?”Meeting Darius’ eyes, the old man shook his head and answered, “Nothing. It’s just that those guys have abandoned me, so—”“So, you intend for me to chase them down and kill them,” replied Darius, who quirked a brow.The man nodded.“Are you sure?” Darius asked, his eyes widening slightly. “You’re content even though you’ll end up dying anyway?”Without hesitation, the man nodded.A broad grin spread across Darius’ face just then. He could tell the man harbored no ulterior motive, and the latter was also a martial artist that had cultivated for some time. Thus,

Darius caught a whiff of even more blood from the cracks. It sent a vile sensation down his throat, and he wanted to vomit. Darius kept his eyes open, not wanting to miss out on what had happened. However, he immediately frowned, taken aback by the endless pool of blood and tall piles of dead bodies. As the black barrier gradually vanished, the bodies poured outward like water gushing from a broken dam. Lips twitching, Darius could not accept the gruesome and unjust scene before him. His breathing hastened, and his mind filled with murderous rage.Just then, Teivel spoke up; the only difference was his voice rang out from before Darius this time. He snapped, “Darius, those bodies belong to the people in black robes. You may find them pitiful now, but you’ll ultimately learn that they’re unworthy of your compassion.”The former spoke with an edgier, almost angry tone that Darius had never heard before. Because of that, Darius realized the gravity of things and took several deep breat

"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
