The Consortium's Heir Chapter 634
Darius raised an eyebrow as he looked the old man in the eye. “You’re lying. All of the formidable black-robed people are dead.”The old man looked at him dazedly. However, when he spoke, his tone was agitated. “When did that happen?” He looked at Darius desperately, but it soon faded into doubt and suspicion. “You’d better be telling the truth, Darius Reid. Otherwise, there’ll be hell for you to pay. I know you grew up in squalor, so you might’ve picked up some bad habits. However, you should know that certain nifty tricks that seem to work like magic may not exactly give you the same results when used on a wealthy person.” He looked Darius in the eye as he spoke, trying to determine whether Darius was lying.Darius looked at him scornfully. “You people constantly use the environment I grew up in to attack me, but you’re the ones who end up dead.”The old man stared at him for a few moments before slowly chuckling. Then, the chuckles turned into a hysterical laugh. “Their deaths must

Liam didn't say anything else and followed Darius into the backyard, only stopping when they were at a deserted corner. His eyes widened as he pointed a trembling finger at the corner, saying, "This place looks completely different. It used to be covered in flowers, but it's bare now."Darius raised an eyebrow, then nodded and smiled. "Yes, you're right. While you were away, many people saw a lot of soil and earth being moved out of the Chamberlain family's villa, which means they've built a new secret chamber somewhere."Liam's breathing sped up. He couldn't believe his father and daughter had been locked up here all this while. How were they doing in there? Had they had a bite of food or a drop of water since his return to the villa?Darius patted him on the shoulder when he sensed his anxiety and guilt. "You don't need to be so nervous. I can sense things haven't been too bad for them there." As he spoke, he stepped forward and stomped on the ground, sending soil flying to reveal t

“He’s been worried sick about you two.” Darius strode out of the secret chamber and into the tunnel. When he got to the hole he’d entered the tunnel from, he saw Liam slowly lowering himself to the ground—one foot was already on the ground while the other was still in mid-air. Darius raised an eyebrow at this and said, “Congratulations for making it down here, but I’m sorry to say you’ll probably have to get back up there soon enough.” After that, he channeled his life force to his legs and flew upward.Liam gaped at him, never having seen someone fly without assistance before. A moment later, a joyful and surprised voice rang behind him, crying, “Dad!” Nothing else mattered to him at the moment. He turned to see his daughter and father walking toward him.When Darius landed on the ground, he poked his head over the hole to see what was happening there. He cleared his throat to attract their attention and said, “I hate to break up this touching reunion, but you guys should probably c

Darius smiled at their anxious looks and rapped his knuckles on the table. “Alright, I’m just pulling your legs. I’m the one who still has things to do—I haven’t had time to bother about the company lately. Look at all the documents piled up here.” His subordinates cheered at his words, and he shook his head in amusement. He watched as Erin skipped out of the room, then noticed Pearl standing at the door. He asked, “Has something happened?”Her eyes were red and tear-filled before she spoke, making Darius frown. Despite being reluctant to put aside work, he got up. However, Pearl shook her head to stop him and said hoarsely, “It’s nothing. W-We’ve just been expelled…” She couldn’t bring herself to continue.Darius’ brows furrowed. “What happened for us to deserve expulsion?” He clenched his fists tightly. Now, he knew how tough it’d be for him to be accepted as a genuine member of the Reid family, let alone head it in the future. Though he didn’t think being unable to graduate from

Pearl stood right before Darius’ desk, but he treated her as if she were invisible. She frowned and balled her hands into fists, parting her lips before pursing them again. She’d never felt this awkward, and Darius didn’t show any signs of wanting to speak to her. As she slowly backed away to sneak out of the room, Darius looked at her. “Sorry, I was too engrossed in this contract and forgot about your existence. You can sit over there; Erin will return with something soon.”He looked at her thoughtfully, making her blush as her mind stopped working. Her eyes subconsciously trailed over his hand, and she floated to the spot he’d pointed at, sitting down dazedly. Darius ignored this, merely turning back to his computer. At this moment, his phone rang. His hands were still on his keyboard as he glanced at his phone; his eyes lit up a second later as he smiled and straightened up. Darius was surprised to suddenly receive a call from his grandfather. After all, it’d been a while since

Pearl couldn’t understand this. Her eyes turned red at the thought of Kingston University’s existence being wiped clean. Darius had already calmed down; he looked thoughtful as he tapped his fingers on the desk. His mind was obviously on something, so no one said anything to disrupt his train of thought. They watched him silently, waiting for him to reach a conclusion. To their surprise, he looked at them with a smile instead of declaring anything and said, “You guys don’t need to stand there and stare at me. Go and do your own thing.” Erin hurried off at his words.He turned to Pearl. “Especially you. Don’t rush into anything; you won’t be able to change anything.” After that, he fell silent and focused on his work once again.Pearl’s lips twitched. Eventually, she turned and slowly walked out of Darius’ room. On her way out, she kept turning back, hoping to hear him call out her name and stop her. To her dismay, nothing of the sort happened.Darius looked up with a frown when she w

“She’s right, sir. You’re truly the most amazing enlightened martial artist I’ve ever had the honor of meeting. I can’t believe you thought of using your life force to help you in your work! I’m sure the world would rejoice if you were to write a book on the different ways to utilize one’s life force,” Bridget said enthusiastically.Darius smiled, but it soon faded. He didn’t particularly enjoy having the two women look at him with such admiration; it meant they were starting to get ideas again. He raised an eyebrow and said, “That’s enough. What did you two come here for?”The two straightened up silently at his words, making him smile. The room was too dark for Erin to see the look on Darius’ face, but this wasn’t an issue for Bridget. Instead of saying anything, she merely looked at him with a smile.Erin said, “We thought we’d be able to leave Almiron City by tonight, but we forgot to consider one person.”Darius raised an eyebrow. “Are you talking about Ansel?” Erin’s head shot u
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 641
Darius knew this call probably wouldn’t bring him the news he wanted to hear, but he still answered it. It was noisy on the other end of the line. A few seconds later, a man’s drunken voice rang out. “Darius, I really don’t get you. Why did you treat me like this? I was your senior once upon a time, wasn’t I? Didn’t we work together well? How could you ruin everything just like that? I refuse to accept this!”The man obviously had difficulty getting the words out, but Darius could still tell who it was. He said coldly, “Ansel, you’ve had too much to drink.” He slowly leaned back and shut his eyes to conceal his disappointment. He’d once had high hopes for Ansel and thought he was a person who could stand by his side as his equal in the near future, but Ansel had betrayed him. In fact, it seemed he hadn’t paid much of a price for his betrayal.Ansel obviously didn’t share Darius’ heartache. He burst into manic laughter and roared, “You want to return to Ashweir City, don’t you? Dream
