The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 75
The looks on everyone’s faces instantly changed. At first they were surprised by the appearance of
such a shy and expensive sports car, but when they saw who the car belonged to, any trace of
surprise and admiration they felt for the owner of the car vanished immediately.
They now had looks of contempt on their faces. It was expected, as the crimes Luke Erihal had
committed weren’t petty ones. They were grave ones, and not only that, he was even a repeat
offender!
Luke noticed the looks of contempt directed at him, but could care less about that. He didn’t care about
what some students thought about him, especially at this crucial juncture. His family was on the verge
on being bankrupt, and it was a well known fact that if they were unable to receive external funds to
improve their stock prices, by the end of today, the Erihal Group would cease to exist.
The top business tycoons knew that the Erihal Group had most definitely offended a tall figure in the
corporate world, which was why their Group was now being targeted and on the verge of bankruptcy.
The only way for them to get back on their feet was
hem to get back on their feet was to pacify whoever they offended.
The business tycoons had researched who the Erihal Group had offended, but they came up with
nothing. In the end, they informed all their heirs and high ranking staff to stay low-key for now.
If the mysterious person could afford to make the Erihal Group bankrupt in less than 72 hours, then
theirs would take even less time!
Naturally, Ian Erihal knew this fact as well. He had pulled all the connections that he had at his disposal
yet he was unable to save hispany from going under. Since he knew his son Luke was the
offender, it was expected for Luke to apologize and plead for mercy for his misdeeds.
Luke himself knew how dire his situation was. He knew he was only able to ignore the consequences
of his crimes and go scot free because of the protection of his father. Now that the Erihal Group was in
dire straits, his prior cases were now being dug up. If he was unsessful in convincing Darius to
spare them, he might have to spend a lot of years behind bars.
Meanwhile, the moment Darius saw Luke alight from the sports car, it took him all he had not
to rush up to him and attack him. He was boiling in rage!
Luke hadmitted a severe crime, yet the only thing he got from Darius was a beating. Instead of
being remorseful for his crime, he had the audacity to send an assassin after Darius. He was clearly
aiming to take his life!
Darius red at Luke coldly. His re intensified when Luke walked up to Darius. Just being in the
same ce as Luke irritated Darius greatly. Luke was a vile person after all.
Perhaps Luke unexpected appearance was even a good thing. He had sworn to take revenge on Luke
for his attempt to take his life. As a matter of fact, he was just going to get to that when he got home.
Who would have thought that Luke would appear before him?
It didn’t matter what brought Luke here. It was a great opportunity for him as he could finally settle all
the grievances he had in his heart.
“My God how shameless can one be?” A student gossiped; her toneced with contempt. “You don’t
say.” Another student chimed in.
“I mean, even after all the allegations leveled against him, and the situation his family is in, he still has
the pride to strut around in campus with his sports car?” the first student said in a disgusted tone.
They all knew of the crisis the Erihal Group was facing; hence they expected Luke to be giving in all in
reviving thepany. His current action therefore made little sense to them. Coupled with the facts
that they now bore deep grievances against him after reading the several crimes hemitted on the
inte, they spared him no mercy.
Darius had a look of surprise on his face at their words. He had no idea that his grandfather had
already taken matters into his own hands and punished the Erihal Groud o
As they were gossiping audibly, Luke heard everything they said, but he didn’t respond. Instead he kept
on walking towards Darius.
The gossips increased in volume when they saw Luke walking towards Darius. It became even louder
when they noticed Darius was ring at Luke with unbridled hostility. They all wondered what was
going on.
When Luke got closer to Darius, there was a brief stare off he did the least thing that anyone present
would expect.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
He knelt down and ced his head on the ground, bowingpletely to Darius! There was a brief
moment of silence, before everyone started talking loudly. “What is going on?!” “Are my eyes deceiving
me?!”
“This can’t be real!”
They all had exaggerated reactions at what happened. It was understandable, as the sight before them
waspletely unbelievable.
They all knew Luke Erihal to be a proud man with arge ego. As someone who was the member of
the Erihal Group, he was always rude and arrogant. It was shocking that the rude
and arrogant person was now on his knees before Darius!
Now that they looked at Luke closely, they noticed that his former high and mighty attitude was
nowhere to be found. He looked very unkempt, like he hadn’t taken his bath in days, which was very
out of character for him. They were too blinded by his shy arrival; otherwise they would have noticed
his shabby appearance earlier. Darius looked at Luke kneeling before him. Being the observant person
he was, Darius deduced what the situation was from the gossips of the students and arrived at a fitting
conclusion. As far as he knew there was no other person capable of making the Erihal Group go
bankrupt in 72 hours except his grandfather. He figured out that the reason Luke appeared before him
was to beg for pardon. As expected, Luke’s next words confirmed Darius’ hypothesis. “Please pardon
me and save my family!” Luke begged loudly in a very distressed voice.
The students all turned to each other in confusion. They were confused as to why Luke was suddenly
begging Darius for pardon. There was no reason for Luke to beg Darius to save his family, unless …!
The students’ eyes widened in surprise as they realized what had happened. Wouldn’t this mean that
Darius was the one responsible for the bankruptcy of the Erihal Group?!
