Semua Bab The Consortium's Heir : Bab 681 - Bab 690

After saying that, Darius started to head toward the dean’s office without sparing the security guard another glance. He narrowed his eyes, starting to feel annoyed. He had never been patient, especially when he had to deal with these issues.The security guard frowned, understanding what Darius had in mind as soon as he turned to leave. He exclaimed hurriedly, “No, wait! You’re making the wrong decision! If you head there now, you’re not gonna achieve your desired results!” He had more to say, but Darius had already disappeared from view. He sighed and waved a hand at the three other security guards. “That’s enough staring, guys. Come over and take him to the hospital. We can talk about this later.” He looked in the direction in which Darius had left worriedly, then walked toward the unconscious security guard.On the other hand, Darius arrived at the dean’s office, so incensed he forgot about the two people behind him. Edward wanted to dash to catch up with Darius, but Pearl grabbe

Darius’ face darkened at Henry’s words. If there was one thing he couldn’t stand, it was being falsely accused. He stood up, flexed his wrists, and walked toward Henry. Henry was caught off guard by this and looked terrified as he said tremulously, “W-what are you doing? Don’t come any closer! I’ll call security if you take another step! I know you’re a martial artist, but the security guards are much stronger than you could ever be!”Darius smirked. “Go ahead; see whether they respond.” He stalked toward Henry and said, “Professor Plinsky’s already explained what was up with my so-called cheating, and the authorities have verified it. However, it seems you aren’t too pleased with the authorities’ verdict.”Henry scowled. At this moment, the woman on the couch said, “Mr. Fort, I don’t think you should believe him. After all, he’s been expelled. Everyone knows how strict Kingston University is with these things—he must’ve done something serious enough to warrant expulsion.” Henry rela

“His only condition was that I use all of the company’s wealth to make West Atlantics Int’l bankrupt and make you disappear from this world.” Darius narrowed his eyes and frowned impatiently. He sat on a chair nearby and tapped his fingers on the armrest. “Why did you expel Pearl and me, then? And why did you stop us from setting foot on campus?” Henry lowered his head. There wasn’t any point in him hiding the truth anymore, but he knew he’d be doomed if he were to spill his guts. As he weighed the pros and cons, he suddenly felt himself turn cold. It was a feeling he was familiar with, and he knew it came from the woman seated on the couch. His eyes turned red, and he said hoarsely, “Because I thought as long as I could drive you two out of here so you two couldn’t graduate, you’d lose plenty of other things. That way, I wouldn’t have to dirty my hands with your lives as the black-robed person wanted.” Darius smiled coldly. Henry glanced at him, thinking he’d pulled off the lie

“I honestly have no idea how you formed this misconception of your so-called beauty—it’s not like you’ve compared yourself to all the men and women in this world.” Edward sighed and put his hands behind his back, standing up straight. He looked at the woman resolutely. The woman’s chest heaved with rage at his words, and she growled, “You may look like you know what you’re talking about, but that doesn’t mean you’re right!” Edward raised an eyebrow disdainfully. “I think you know very well whether that sentence is directed at me or yourself.” The woman gnashed her teeth angrily but soon regained her composure and forced out a smile. “You’re the most useless man I’ve ever met, Edward. All you’re capable of is standing here and squabbling with me. What else can you do?” She gave him a condescending look. “And yet you dare look down on me! Regardless of what you think, there’s no denying I’m an outstanding woman, and I landed my job through my own hard work. I started as a lowly ass

Darius’ instinct as an enlightened martial artist told him the woman was telling the truth. So, he didn’t interrupt her lest she had some funny thoughts and decided to lie again. The woman looked at him when she was done speaking and relaxed when she saw him nodding. Her tone became lighter as she continued, “I don’t know whether there’s anyone else who can enter his office; as far as I’m aware, in the company, his secretary is the only one. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything about him. I’ve only ever received calls from him and never seen his face. Of course, if you need his phone number, I can give it to you.” She looked at Darius cautiously. Darius frowned. “You can continue speaking. I’ll reward you accordingly if I think you deserve it.” The woman sighed in relief. Then, her eyes glowed with the excitement of sharing gossip—it even overwhelmed her fear of dying. “Mr. Reid, I’m positive that the black-robed person behind Dream Investment Group has to attend to certain ne
