The Consortium's Heir 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 741 - 챕터 750

Darius retracted his hand and tucked it into his pocket. "Those people out there are unscrupulous businessmen. They must be here because they can reap plenty of benefits from this." He sighed. "They'll do unthinkable things to get what they want—that's even scarier than them pulling anything to save Byron." Before Borisin could ask anything else, Darius saw Bruce racing toward them, gasping for breath. He sighed again and nodded in Bruce's direction. "Look at that. Things must be getting out of control."He walked toward—no, magically appeared before Bruce, who sagged in relief when he saw Darius. Bruce sounded panicked as he said, "Sir, there are people from the two most prominent families out there, and they're causing a ruckus. Since Master James isn't around, you're the next best person to turn to…but I don't know whether you're ready to face the world as the Reid family's heir." His hands twisted together before him, and he frowned, looking concerned.Darius' lips curved upward

Bruce's gaze was earnest and sincere as he faced Darius, but the people on the other side of the gate couldn't help quaking in their boots. They no longer dared look down their noses at Darius now that Bruce was present. A man who'd silently stood beside the woman who'd spoken suddenly said, "Allow me to apologize for my daughter's impudence." He didn't dare look Darius in the eye as he spoke, focusing his gaze on the ground. He also sounded guilty. "I know it's rude to ask for your forgiveness, but this is the only thing I can do." Without any warning, he fell to his knees on the ground and finally looked up at Darius with tear-filled eyes.Darius frowned at this, looking disgusted. "Having a man look at me like that only makes my stomach churn." The man paled at his words, then put a pitiful expression on. Darius sighed.When Bruce saw this, his gaze turned cold as he said, "Are you trying to challenge the Reid family's authority by putting on such a look at Mr. Reid's words?"Dariu

"As a former member of the Reid family, I'm sure you must've amassed a small fortune for yourself over the years. You may have been away for a while, but I doubt that will affect your chances of survival."Stephen's head shot up at Darius' words. He tried his best to keep his emotions in check, but Darius could still tell he was extremely agitated. In fact, he started to tremble. Darius sighed at this, not wanting to go into detail with him. He waved a hand dismissively and said, "Right, you can leave now. Your father—your biological one—will be here soon, and I'll call you when the time is right." This time, Darius clearly sensed Stephen's gratitude. He glanced at the latter to see the tears in his eyes, and his lips twitched. "Leave—now. I have other matters to attend to."Stephen nodded and slowly left the room. Once he was gone, Darius turned his attention to Bruce and smiled. "Sit, please." Bruce relaxed and sat down. Darius looked at his computer and said, "I didn't expect you

Darius' eyes widened as he stared at James in disbelief. "Plain" was the last word he would've used to describe his current outfit, but when he compared it to his grandfather's diamond-studded suit…his lips twitched. He didn't know what to say in response to that, nor did he want to say anything. So, he merely smiled. "Grandpa, this outfit may not meet your expectations, but I'm perfectly happy with it.""Alright, then." James' lips twitched. He still didn't look too pleased, but he added, "It's fine as long as you like it."Darius sighed in relief. He'd been worried James would've forced him to wear a diamond-studded suit. Soon, however, he realized he was dumb to have ignored James' words—his plain suit only brought about endless trouble. When he entered the banquet hall, all the spotlights focused on him, making him the center of attention. He raised an eyebrow and tried to control his expression so he wouldn't display any of his shock, but it didn't work. His shock stemmed from th

"Times have changed, and it's been years since the Reid family has changed under my leadership. All it's done is become wealthier. I couldn't understand why we were stuck, but I now know the answer to that." James sighed and looked at Darius through the monitor. His impression of Darius had suddenly undergone a transformation, but Bruce was the only one who caught it. However, he didn't say anything—his impression of Darius had changed as well.After a moment, Bruce glanced at his watch and said, "Sir, we should head to the banquet hall. It's almost time to begin." James nodded, put his hands behind his back, and made his way to the banquet hall. The gathering was due to start in three minutes, and they were the only ones missing. They walked along the silent corridor to get to the banquet hall, and Bruce didn't make a sound as he trailed James. This was normal—James wasn't much of a talker. However, when they were halfway down the corridor, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at
