The Consortium's Heir Chapter 639
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

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

Ansel shut his eyes in despair. "I know I made a huge mistake, but I lost the ability to think when I read the message they sent me. They told me they wanted to explore the possibility of me marrying Pearl!" He squatted down and wrapped his arms around his head, saying shakily, "I knew I shouldn't have gone there, but I couldn't control myself." He looked up at Darius tearfully. "And that's why I betrayed you—the Chamberlain family agreed to have Pearl marry me."Darius sat behind his desk, looking icy. "You betrayed me? What did you tell them? Was it about me or West Atlantics Int’l?"Ansel looked lost for a split second before shaking his head vigorously. "No, no! I didn't say anything!" His voice became smaller toward the end of his sentence, and he dared not meet Darius' eyes. Darius tapped a finger on the desk rhythmically, making Ansel gulp and pale. However, his tone was firm. "Mr. Reid, regardless of what you think of me, I swear on my life that I didn't reveal any informati

“You obviously don’t belong to any of those categories, so I think you should address me as ‘Mr. Reid’ and not anything else.” Darius’ eyes were cold.Ansel’s mind went blank for a second. He didn’t know what Darius was implying…or perhaps he did know but refused to think further. He smiled bitterly, knowing Darius’ words made sense. Even if the Brezinski family had fallen from grace, he was still its only heir—his existence was essential to its sustainability, which meant he couldn’t follow Darius everywhere he went, unlike Alicia or Erin. “I understand, Mr. Reid. Is there anything I have to do or a price I have to pay to continue working with you?”Darius leaned back and rested his arms on the armrests. “We share the same alma mater, so I have no doubts about your abilities. I’m sure you’ll be able to set up the largest TV station in the country!”Ansel’s head shot up at his words, and he stared at Darius in disbelief. “I don’t think I misheard you, Mr. Reid, but I’m finding it har

“But I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Darius tapped his fingers on the desk in rapid succession. “And so, I have to apologize for turning down your request.” He stared at William without moving, as if he’d suddenly turned into a statue.However, William knew Darius was only waiting for him to respond. Feeling nervous, he gulped and opened his mouth to tremulously say, “I understand, Mr. Reid. It’s my fault for not thinking the matter through, and I’ll improve on this.” After saying that, William hurried out of the room as quickly as possible.When silence descended upon the room once again, Darius leaned forward. He propped his head up with his arm while reading the report William had just handed to him. It was a surprise to see how concise and well-presented the report was; for the longest time, Darius thought William was useless. Now, it seemed he was wrong. In fact, the report was very well done, and it made him raise an eyebrow.He hadn’t had much time to pay attention to how W
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 645
A tall woman stood beside him; the dwarf only reached her waist. Darius gave them a quick look before leaving, but things didn’t go as planned. As soon as he turned to leave, the dwarf hurried to stand in his way. “I’m talking to you, brat. I’ve never seen you in Almiron City before; you must be one of those people who came for the prize money.” The dwarf looked at Darius arrogantly and continued, “I’d advise you to leave now—you paupers have no idea what it’s like to be wealthy, so there’s no way your suggestions will be accepted!” The woman beside him laughed mockingly, then said, “Give them a chance, sir. At least they’ll be able to have a free meal.” Darius raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. He merely sidestepped the dwarf to leave; all he had to do was have someone kick the dwarf out. However, when his back was turned, Erin let out a sharp yelp. He frowned and turned to see the dwarf gripping Erin’s wrist tightly. Darius asked coldly, “What are you trying to do?” H

Darius raised an eyebrow at the bruise and put an arm around Erin’s shoulder. Then, he stepped on Vic and said, “I intended to let you off the hook, but it seems you don’t think that’s necessary. Perhaps you’ll only be satisfied when you’re lifeless and carried out in a body bag.”Vic’s eyes widened at Darius’ words, but there wasn’t a trace of hesitation in his tone when he roared, “That’s enough! Do you realize how unreasonable you sound? I was just interested in the beautiful woman in your arms and wanted to take her home with me, yet you want to take my life! That’s extremely unfair!”Darius smiled, but the crowd shuddered at its iciness. He applied pressure on his foot, stopping when he heard a bone snap. Vic lay on the ground, looking ashen because of the pain. However, he couldn’t make a sound; something seemed lodged in his throat!Darius looked at him scornfully, then turned to the security guard. “Are you linked to West Atlantics Int’l in any way?”The security guard paled a
