The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 84

(Dragon Estate, Dragon Lord's Imperial Residence)

Darius woke up later than usual. He had worked late

into the morning the previous day, which was the reason he woke up later than usual. Fortunatel y, he was able to complete all of his work

because of his all nighter.

By the time he woke up, it was already mid noon. He

then performed his morning routines which included his martial arts and meditated.

As Darius practiced his martial arts, he noticed that his moves were even more fluid than before. It was as if they got better and more

powerful with each practice routine, leaving Darius utterly confused.

He had no idea that his

grandfather had used an ancient potion to heal him of his injuries, and it was the golden potion that improved his physical prowess and made

his martial arts moves stronger and more powerful than before.

Darius didn't think much about it, and took a quick shower when he was done with practicing his martial arts.

He was having his breakfast when his phone rang. He checked the caller

ID and saw that it was Bruce. He then answered the call.

"Hello young master Reid.” Bruce said respectfully.

"Hello Bruce." Darius answered.

"I'm calling to remind you about the business gathering in Ashville city. Do you need me to send

someone to pick you up?" Bruce asked politely.

"No. I'll be attending on my own." Darius replied. "Thank you for your worry though."

"Certainly young master Reid." Bruce answered bitterly. He could only accept his Darius' decision.

Darius then disconnected the phone call. He knew that Bruce was probably following the orders of his

grandfather, but if he agreed to Bruce's request, then his grandfather would go way over t he top, and it

was something that Darius didn't want.

He was still eating his breakfast when another call came in. This time around it was from Erin, his

personal assistant. Darius answered the call immediately. They conversed for some minutes befo re

Darius disconnected the phone call.

The reason Erin called was because of a document Darius overlooked. Darius asked her to e mail the

document to him. He was about to disconnect the phone call when something flashed in his mind.

He had been so busy with work that he completely forgot to infonn Erin about the business gath ering.

If she hadn't called now, he would have totally forgotten to extend an invitation letter to h er.

Darius then extended an invitation letter to her. Even though Erin was usually very busy, she imm

ediately put aside all her work without hesitation and agreed to go the gathering in Ashville city.

Darius was a bit shocked at her enthusiasm and willingness to attend the business gathering. He half

expected her to turn down his request since she was usually very busy, but that wasn't what happened.

She instead eagerly accepted his request. Darius however didn't think too much abou t her decision.

They conversed for a few more minutes before Darius disconnected the phone call.

He then dressed up for the business gathering. As Ashville city was quite a considerable distance from

Dragon Estate, Darius needed to leave early, if not he would be late to the gathering

He put on a pair of refined suit, and a pair of luxurious leather shoes. He still wore the same expensive

wristwatch that Bruce had gifted to him for the c harity gala some months ago. When he was done with

his dressing up, he took the elevator to hi s private garage. He then got into his Lamborghini and drove

off.

[Iris Hotel, Ashville city) Outside a very luxurious hotel, a huge number of people were gathered

outside. There was a red carpet spread out, and a lot of journalists and reporters were present. B

eautiful hostesses moved around busily, welcoming the people present, while the security guard s

moved about, making sure to maintain order in the crowd. -

The reason for such a scene was well known. The business gathering that Darius was invited to b y his

grandfather was an annual event at Ashville city, and only the top businessmen were invited . Apart

from the businessmen, high ranking celebrities were also invited.

The event for the gathering was even Iris Hotel, the only ten star hotel in the city. There were onl y a

handful of ten star hotels in s country, and Iris Hotel was one of them.

As such, such crowd pull was completely normal. After all, many of their favorite celebrities woul d be

present, and they would be able to see them in person. If they were lucky, they could even take a picture or two with them.

At that point, the attendees for the business gathering began to arrive. A very classy Maybach ca r pulled up right next to the red carpet. The

bodyguards present hastily rushed to the car and op ened the door for the person seated inside. A middle aged man then alighted from the

vehicle.

"Wow! It's really him! It's Mr. William Jung of the Jung Group in the flesh!" an excited voice exclai med. It wasn't only him that recognized

William Jung, because as soon as he alighted from the c ar, several voices cheered loudly. The journalists and reporters all started taking

pictures at a rapid rate, since it wasn't every day they saw wealthy and prominent figures like William Jung

As he walked, a flag representing his status as a VIP was

raised. Every VIP who attended was prepared to show something off to present their identity and business.

SHOW

William Jung was all smiles as he waved to the crowd under the protection of two bodyguards, b efore stepping past the hotel lavish doors.

After his arrival, several other VIPs which included celebrities as well started making their appearance.

Numerous luxury cars flooded the scene, with a lot of top businessmen and celebrities already pr esent. By this time, everybody was

bubbling with excitement. The journalists and reporters were particularly busy taking pictures. After all, most of the VIPs were flaunting their

luxury cars and w ealth to show how powerful and wealthy they were; and as how they arrived would be published in the papers the next day,

none of them wanted to look inferior to anyone.

The crowd's excitement seemed to suddenly escalate as a very dazzling sports car, unlike any of the previous ones, arrived at the scene.

It was very shocking to say the least. Although most cars present were very luxurious, none were as luxurious and spectacular as this sports

car!

While everyone present were still reeling in shock about the car, the doors to the car opened, an d a young man alighted from the vehicle.
