The Consortium's Heir Chapter 835
Darius put his hands behind his back and raised an eyebrow, looking baffled. "Uh … correct me if I'm wrong, but Ursula isn't the woman you love, right?""What? No, of course not!" To Darius' surprise, the man shook his head so vigorously that Darius could practically feel the wind he was causing. "No, no, no! I would never! There are plenty of women in the Evans family; even their most influential member is a woman! I'd have plenty of choices if I wanted to pick one of them for myself. Why would I go for Ursula?" He gave Darius a bewildered look. Then, he pouted and said, "I don't understand why you would say that. There are countless people on this earth. Why would I fall for Ursula? Any other woman would be better than her!"Darius could tell the man wasn't kidding. His lips twitched as he wondered what Ursula had done to make everyone get mad at the mention of her name. He reached upward to place his hand on the man's shoulder, then said, "West Atlantics Int'l welcomes you. I hope

"I need to let the whole world know about their crimes. I want them to make headlines everywhere! Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace!" The man's voice was resolute. He turned to Darius. "I didn't know how to feel when you invited me to join the Reid Consortium. I have too many concerns; I feel like the things I'm about to do will drag you down with me."Darius raised an eyebrow. "You still agreed to it, though."The man smiled, but it didn't meet his eyes. "The devil got to me in that instant. He told me wealthy people like yourself were heartless, that you were all disgusting and evil people. Your fortune was built from the flesh of the poor, that it was stolen from those who actually did the work for it!" His voice grew increasingly louder toward the end of the sentence, and he trembled with agitation.Darius sensed the passers-by giving him disapproving looks, making his lips twitch. He straightened up, tucked his hands into his pockets, and said, "Alright, then. You can c

Darius turned to look at the people involved in the argument. He had a complicated expression on his face when he heard the entirety of it. The employee who'd served him earlier was extremely kind but was a little bit of a pushover because he'd grown up in squalor. Of course, this wasn't what his personality was originally like. He'd only learned to keep his silence because he couldn't afford to get into arguments with others.Darius' heart raced when he learned this. Once upon a time, he'd been exactly like this employee. However, he'd been fortunate enough to have been reunited with his family when he was at his lowest.At the very least, he knew he hadn't been abandoned, that his squalor had been happenstance due to a series of unfortunate events. He sighed. He'd intended on leaving this place without getting involved in anything, but he knew he wouldn't be able to ignore this.Darius turned around and headed toward the quarreling people. "It's unbecoming of a hotel's employees to

The woman spread her hands and shrugged while looking at Darius haughtily. Darius sighed, feeling like this trip had been a huge mistake. He'd already decided to return home, yet something like this had to happen right before he left. He narrowed his eyes. Coincidences happened all the time, and he could just about bring himself to believe that two coincidences could happen at the same time. Still, if too many coincidences were to happen at the same time … no one would believe they were truly coincidental.Darius looked at the couple and said, "Can I take this to mean that your actions have been condoned by your employers? And that no one will be able to resolve this issue of you causing trouble for me?"The couple narrowed their eyes at him suspiciously. Ultimately, the woman said haughtily, "Of course! Everything we've done so far is what people expect and have been waiting to see!"With her words, Darius didn't think this was mere happenstance anymore. "Alright, then. Just so you k

Darius' expression became mocking at his words. "What makes you think I'll believe your lies? None of that sounds realistic. Why didn't you try to flee after being oppressed like that?"The employee paled and shook his head, looking defeated as tears streamed down his face. "You have no idea how many times I tried, but she sent people to trail me. There were people watching me 24/7; even now, everything that we say now will probably reach her ears in no time. She may show up here in a few minutes for all we know … "As an enlightened martial artist, Darius trusted his instincts unconditionally. They told him the employee wasn't lying, and he said, "You don't sound like you're lying, and I'm about eighty percent convinced. I'll get my people to investigate the remaining twenty percent. If you want to leave this place, I can protect you." He smiled at the employee.The employee's heart raced. "Do you mean that? Do you know who this hotel belongs to?" Darius shook his head, making a mask

They didn't even have the strength to lift their heads from the floor. This didn't stop them from making noise, though. "Why have you guys stopped? You're security guards, aren't you? Isn't it your job to attack and capture him? Do what you were hired for!"The security guards didn't look too pleased at their words. At this moment, a man in a black suit stepped forward. Unlike the other security guards, whose shirts were white, his was black. Darius watched him calmly, putting his hands behind his back. The security guard in the black suit looked impatient as he swaggered forward, spatting on the floor before growling, "Curse the fucker who dropped me here, forcing me to watch people argue over the dumbest things every day. One day, my anger is gonna reach its peak; when that happens, I'm gonna murder everyone here and blow this place to smithereens!"Darius raised an eyebrow at this man. He looked irritated and seemed like the type to have committed many crimes, but Darius' instinct

"In any case, I was punished and relegated here over something that didn't even happen!"Darius raised an eyebrow at Iago's complaint and mentally reviewed the information he'd revealed so far. Iago had been framed, leading to his parents cutting him off financially. He'd originally just been a rich kid living the cushy life but had been forced to work here as a security guard, surviving from paycheck to paycheck. Darius gave Iago an odd look—things didn't look as tough for him as he'd made them seem. He didn't look tortured or disheveled.Iago immediately understood what Darius was thinking. He forced out through gritted teeth, "See, that's what you think as well! You think my current life looks alright, don't you? But you don't know about that woman docking my pay when she feels like it! Going to work and doing my job is all I can do right now. You might think she's doing this out of the kindness of her heart, like maybe she's trying to train me so I can do a better job of managing
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 842
Darius had only known Iago for a short while, but he was confident that all sorts of weird thoughts were going through his mind now. These thoughts were probably along the lines of him complimenting himself on being intelligent enough to pick someone like Darius to be his friend. Darius shook his head at this and sighed. "Alright, alright. I know how kind and outstanding you are." He smiled and continued, "You're probably really happy that things turned out like this. I know your imagination's probably running wild now, but please rein it in for the time being. We need to focus on resolving this matter right now. Otherwise, we won't be able to move on."Iago's eyes lit up at his words, and he nodded vigorously. "You're right." He put his hands on his hips and turned to slam a hand on the front desk's counter. Darius thought he would say something profound and commanding, but … Iago held his head high and gestured at Darius with his other hand. "This is Darius Reid, the heir to the R
