Semua Bab The Consortium's Heir : Bab 591 - Bab 600

Then, Shelvin felt like he’d been frozen; he couldn’t make a sound. He wanted to look at Darius to ask for help, but he soon found there was no way for him to do that—he couldn’t even blink! This put him on the brink of tearsAt this moment, Bryan’s calm voice rang out. “Don’t be so nervous. My father, Yarlyn Weiss, was a kind man. If not for that, you wouldn’t be alive now, nor would you have been able to take over his body.”Shelvin’s eyes widened. He thought Yarlyn had ceased to exist when choosing to save him.Darius looked at Bryan. “So, what’s happening now?”Bryan shrugged. “He wanted to say something mean to me; there’s no way my father would allow that.” There was a pleased look on his face, but it quickly faded. “It’s sad—I know for a fact my father’s still alive, but I also know there’s no possibility of me seeing him ever again.” He squatted down and buried his face in his hands; his pain was evident.Darius looked at him calmly and said, “You look like you’re only thirty

Darius shook his head with a smile. “There’s no need to apologize for something like that.” He stood up and walked over to the window, putting his hands behind his back. “Erin will be here shortly; all our questions will be answered then.” The second his words fell, he saw an egg flying toward him. His lips twitched as he stepped back and said calmly, “Look—their rage is proof of their urgency. No matter how smart one is, they’ll slip up once they become anxious.”Shelvin didn’t say anything. Darius smiled again. “Even if he doesn’t slip up now, he will later.” He turned away from the window, which was being splattered with eggs, and sat behind his desk again. He acted as if nothing had happened and made quick work of his documents.At this moment, Erin knocked on the door. Darius looked up and said, “Come in, Erin.”She pushed the door open, hurried in, and said, “Mr. Reid, the conversation you had earlier with Bryan Weiss is all over the internet.”Darius raised an eyebrow, looking

“They lost their jobs and countless other things because of you!” Bryan’s voice was hoarse from all the shouting.Darius narrowed his eyes. “Your actions are rash, but you sound rather cautious. Why?” He looked Bryan up and down.Bryan frowned, looking repulsed. “Darius, this is where your life ends!” Once his words fell, he felt a gust of wind blasting him to the floor. He lay there, his eyes wide with shock. What the hell had happened? Why was he suddenly on his back? His shock immediately disappeared when he heard Darius walk toward him. Though he didn’t yet know what had happened, he knew Darius was the one who had caused him to end up like this. Before he even realized what he was doing, he growled, “Darius Reid, you’re nothing but a piece of trash who only leeches off the Reid family! What right do you have to treat me like this? You might be wealthier than me for now, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the money will end up in your pocket! Plenty of people in the Reid family h

“I figured that if you guys could get along well, I wouldn’t interfere. Now, it looks like things aren’t as straightforward as I thought.” Darius’ eyes were frosty as he looked Yarlyn in the eye. A few seconds later, he suddenly exhaled and started gasping for breath. Darius’ face softened. “Welcome back, Shelvin.”Shelvin coughed violently, putting a hand on the wall to keep himself upright as he nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Reid. I wouldn’t have made it back alive if not for you.” His eyes were red from his coughing fit. “The bastard used his black life force to suffocate me. I’m nothing but a ball of consciousness, but I almost died of asphyxiation! Do you know how humiliating that is? It looks like I was being too merciful toward his son.” As he spoke, he turned to walk back into the room.Darius didn’t budge. He frowned and watched Shelvin storm off. Shelvin was injured—at least, his supply of life force had been cut off earlier—and should’ve been extremely weak at the moment. Besi

Darius raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and smiled. “I still don’t trust you. If the Reid Consortium were to acquire the Anderson Group, how would it be different from being sold off by Calypso? Either way, it’ll end up belonging to someone else, and the Anderson family will no longer be independent.”William’s eyes turned redder as he said anxiously, “Please, stop saying that. I’m telling you nothing but the truth! Besides, the two situations are completely different! The Anderson family has been around for many years, but it’s only become what it is now through my hard work. Obviously, Calypso couldn’t care less about that—that’s why she’s taking advantage of my absence to sell my heart and soul. And if the company were to be sold to anyone but you, the Anderson name will forever be forgotten. I can’t live with that.” He trained his gaze on Darius without any hesitation.Though William seemed to be moving in slow motion in Darius’ eyes, his instinct as an enlightened martial artist told
