The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 73 (Reid Mansion]

The past three days had been smooth sailing for Darius, as while the Erihal Group were battling bankruptcy on different fronts as a result of

James Reid concentrated attacks, he was recuperating peacefully from his injuries.

He woke up this morning as early as usual, and was still brimming with energy. He obeyed his grandfather's words and practiced the

breathing techniques in the book his grandfather gave him before practicing his martial arts routines. As he practiced over the days, he found

out that the moves were executed easier than before. The moves that used to be rigid were now executed as fluidly as water. Not only that,

the time taken to perform all his routines cut short by more than half!

He also noticed that his kicks and punches had increased in power, and he could process things faster than usual. Unknowingly to Darius,

the golden potion that his grandfather used in treating him not only improved the external attributes of the body, but also the internal aspects.

It was why his brain power was improved. If there was a way to check his lifespan, he would also be shocked to see that his life span had

been extended! 1

Darius was oblivious to the effects of the golden liquid, and therefore did not think that far. When he was done with his martial arts routines,

he took a quick shower before joining his

grandfather in his study room.

As expected, his grandfather was relaxing in his study. There was a book in his hand while a half empty bottle of exotic whiskey on the

mahogany desk when Darius walked in. He took a seat opposite his grandfather. His grandfather arched an eyebrow at Darius sudden visit.

During the past three days they had only spoken to each other a few times as Darius was mainly recuperating inside his room.

"Grandfather." Darius greeted politely. His grandfather waved his hands in response to his greetings

but did not remove his eyes from the book.

Darius knew his grandfather was an avid reader hence he wasn't bothered about that. He simply went

ahead and stated the reason he wished to speak with his grandfather. "I am fully healed now, so I

would be leaving here today." Darius said. When James heard his grandson's words, he removed his

gaze from the book and stared at his grandson with concern in his eyes. "Are you sure that you have

completely healed from your injuries?" James asked concernedly. "I am fine now." Darius answered.

"Are you sure?" James asked. "Why not stay for a few more days?"

"Thank you grandfather, but I can no longer afford to stay here. I have a lot of work waiting for me and

a lot of documents to sign. Besides, our exams are coming up too. I have to study too." Darius replied,

politely rejecting his grandfather's suggestions.

Although Darius didn't mention it, he also wanted to leave so that he could find and exact his

revenge on Luke. He had no idea that the whole Erihal Group were now facing the brunt of Luke's vile

deed, and wanted to take down Luke himself.

James didn't give up trying to persuade Darius to stay behind, but Darius turned him down every time.

It wasn’t until Darius promised to return in the near future that James agreed to leave.

As Darius cars were now parked at his penthouse in Dragon Estate, his grandfather arranged for him to

be driven back in the Rolls-Royce cars. He had arranged for Bruce and twelve other bodyguards to

escort him, but Darius who didn’t want to draw so much attention to his self by taking the bodyguards

with him declined the gesture, but his grandfather was having none of it.

In the end, his grandfather agreed to take a step back but only if he allowed Bruce and three other

bodyguards to escort him. Exasperated and backed into a corner, Darius had no choice but to agree to

his arrangements.

Soon enough, three beautiful white Rolls-Royce cars white the name ’REID' customized on the license

plates drove to where Darius and his grandfather stood. By then Darius had changed into a casual but

classy looking outfit, and he looked incredibly attractive.

The bodyguards exited the cars orderly and opened the door for Darius to get in. Darius, not used to

this kind of treatment was a bit einbarrassed but got in anyway. He knew that it was his grandfather's

way of expressing his concern for him.

When he was settled, the bodyguards closed the doors and got into the driver's seat before driving off,

leaving the mansion behind.

Along the way Darius instructed the bodyguards to drive him to his university. He had checked his

departmental group chat and saw that an important lecture was about to begin in thirty minutes time.

As he had missed three days of lectures due to his injuries, he made up his mind not to miss this one.

Meanwhile at the venue where the lecture was to take place, a lot of students had arrived at the venue and were now discussing among

themselves. Surprisingly, the topic of discussion wasn't what was going on in the university, but about the crisis that the Erihal Group was

facing

As one of the top universities in the district, gossips in Lockwood University were easily carried around the two other universities, Kingston

University and Evergreen University. Luke Erihal, who was a well known figure mainly in Lockwood University, was now known in the other

two universities.

As Erihal Group was now on the verge of bankruptcy after three days, and such, all the evil deeds Luke was involved was now being

exposed by the media. Details of how he forced himself on several women, beat up and severely injured so many innocent people for no

reason and other evil deeds could now be found on the internet.

Everyone was repulsed by his evil deeds. They had no idea that Luke Erihal was that kind of person. They all thought that he was a kind

person because of how he behaved in public, and

but now that they had seen his true colors, they were disgusted by him.

However, although the students were shocked by Luke's evil deeds, they were even more shocked at how the Erihal Group suddenly

became on the verge of bankruptcy. The wealthy ones among the students knew that the Erihal Group had offended who they shouldn't

have,

and were now being targeted by that entity, but they had no idea who the entity was. As they were still engaging in several discussions

regarding Luke Erihal and the Erihal group, something truly shocking happened, leaving them utterly speechless.
