The Consortium's Heir Chapter 62
The walk to his friends’ location was a short one. After walking for five minutes, he got to his friends’ location. When he was still a short distance away from his destination, he caught sight of Marcus and Greg discussing. A smile unknowingly crept up on his face at the sight of his two friends. Delighted, he increased his pace and walked up to them. “Darius!” Greg exclaimed when he saw Darius. He was not present the time Marcus had a phone call with Darius; therefore he had no idea that Darius decided to hang out with them. It was pleasant surprise for him to see Darius. “What’s up Greg?” Darius replied; smiling heartily as he gave Greg a bro hug. “I’ve been alright man. We missed you. Where have you been?” Greg asked as he hugged Darius. “I’ve been really busy these past few days, but don’t worry. I’m free now. We can hangout for a while.” Darius replied pleasantly. Just as Greg was about to reply Darius, Rudd appeared in their line of sight and started walking towards them. H
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 63
A frown crept onto Darius’ face the moment he heard her scream on the other end of the phone. He didn’t need to be told that Helen was in danger. The last time they met was at the charity gala, and apart from the light conversation he had with her before the auction, he hadn’t spoken with her again. “Where are you now?” Darius asked calmly. He knew that getting her location was of paramount importance. Anything else could take back seat in the face of her location. “I’m at the VIP section, room 38 of HKN Diamond Hotel.” Helen replied in a shaky voice. “Please come fast. I’m in-” Before Helen could complete her sentence, the phone call disconnected. Darius gripped his phone tightly before releasing his grip. He let out a short breath before speeding out of the parking lot. As he drove at top speed, he connected his phone to the Bluetooth system of his car and made a phone call. The call rang once before the person picked up. “Where is HKN Diamond Hotel?” Darius asked curtly, goin

Luke was instantly intimidated by the intruder’s icy demeanor. Even still, he managed to regain his composure. He could not allow himself to be intimidated by the intruder. “What do you think you’re doing now?” Kris asked angrily, glaring at the intruder as he did so. Who gave him the keys to get inside the room in the first place? He had ruined the fun with his arrival just when Luke was getting to the good part. Darius was naturally the intruder. He had driven like a mad man on his way here, completely ignoring the traffic laws that were set in place in the country. If it weren’t for the fact that his car had a customized license plate, he would have had scores of traffic vehicles on his tail and even probably spend the night in a police cell. When he got here, he charged straight to the Manager’s office. Erin had done her job flawlessly and convinced the Manager to hand over the key to Darius when he arrived. The Manager had refused at first, but once he heard that the person de

Darius walked quickly to the spot he parked his car. As he walked the embers of rage still burned fiercely in his heart. He was very dissatisfied with the beating he gave Luke. He felt that Luke deserved way more than the beating he received. However despite how disgruntled he felt about it, he didn’t act on his feelings. Taking Helen back to safety took precedence over anything now. He unlocked his car and placed her gently in the passenger seat and got into the driver’s seat before driving off at full speed. As Darius drove, he couldn’t help but throw occasional glances to where Helen lay curled up on the seat. Anger bubbled again in his heart when he thought about what Luke and Kris wanted to do to her. If he hadn’t managed to arrive in time the consequences would have been very severe. He turned his gaze away from her and focused his gaze on the road. Nevertheless there was a very cold glint in his eyes as he drove. Helen wellbeing took precedence for now, but that wouldn’t be

The next two days went on as usual for Darius. He went to classes as usual, practiced his martial arts and made some time to relax. Now that majority of his work had been delegated to Erin, he now had some free time for himself. The situation with Helen was however a bit complicated. Although he was still shocked about the kiss from Helen, there was nothing he could do about it as Helen had put him in a bind. He had gone to the hospital today as her roommate was being discharged. He drove her roommate to her dormitory personally with the hopes of fishing her out, but the result was the same as other days. Since she kissed him on the night he saved her, Helen had avoided him like the plague. He had called her several times to keep her updated about the progress of her friend in the hospital, but she had refused to pick any of his calls. He only got reports from Erin that she visited the hospital regularly during the time her roommate was hospitalized. Frustrated by her antics, he h
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 67
Darius heart beat sped up even more when he heard the man’s declaration. At that point he knew that the man bore only hostile intentions towards him. He wanted his life? That put Darius in a dilemma. From the aura the man gave off, Darius knew that he was no match for him. However there was something that confused him. “Why do you want to kill me?” Darius asked. He had not done anything evil or bad to warrant someone to suddenly appear and try to take his life. He had always maintained a low profile since he became wealthy, so he was genuinely confused at this man’s appearance. “No hard feelings. I got a job to kill you. It’s as simple as that.” The man replied. “Who sent you?” Darius asked again. He was very curious about that. “That I cannot answer; as it is against my rule to rat out my employer.” The man started. “Besides, you don’t need to worry about that. You will not be leaving here alive anyway.” As soon as the man completed that statement, he launched himself at Dari
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 68
[Reid Mansion] James Reid, Darius’ grandfather and former head of the Reid consortium was going through some documents in his study. The documents were a report of how well Darius had been performing as the new head of the Reid consortium. Ever since he handed the leadership of the Reid consortium down to Darius, his life had been very basic. Apart from the occasional reports of how the companies were faring, he completely detached himself from company matters. He would have not demanded the reports of how the companies were faring, but he needed to know, as Darius was merely a student and still new to the business world. Therefore he was glad when he read the reports and saw that Darius was doing incredibly well. There were even increases in the stock of the companies. James sighed. He was indeed glad, as it proved that his grandson was just as shrewd as the rest of the Reid family when it came to business. He sighed again. He was now getting older as he was 72 years old now. He
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 69
James, Bruce and Erin all had surprised expressions on their faces when they entered the room and saw Darius on the hospital bed. James in particular had the most surprised expression out of the three. “How severe are his injuries?” James asked in a choked voice. The doctor glanced at him and sighed before answering in a professional manner. “His ribs are fractured; his right and left arms are broken; his left leg is temporarily paralyzed after being shot with a poisoned bullet, with risks of being permanently paralyzed, and his right ankle is fractured.” James closed his eyes for a brief moment after he heard the Doctor’s answer. After a minute of silence, he asked the Doctor a question. “What are the chances of him surviving this ordeal?” “10%.” The doctor answered. James closed his eyes again. It was even worse than he expected. A 10% chance meant that he had only one out of ten times to survive this ordeal. There was another moment of silence, as James kept staring at Dari

"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
