The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 117
Meanwhile, Darius was already speeding towards Serene Hospital. Naturally, he had no idea about his
grandfather‘s ns. His thoughts were totally upied with the old man‘s death.
After minutes of driving speedily, Darius arrived at the hospital. He parked the car neatly and then
rushed to the old man‘s room, without paying any attention to anybody.
When he opened the door, Dr. Langhan was already waiting for his arrival with an expectant
expression on his face.
“Mr. Reid.” Dr. Langhan called out carefully.
Darius ignored him and walked straight to the old man‘s lifeless body on the bed. Darius didn‘t say
anything and stared at the old man‘s body with aplicated expression on his face. Darius back was
turned to Dr. Langhan, so he couldn‘t see the expression on Darius‘ face.
The two of them maintained a period of silence for over five minutes, before Darius finally spoke up
“What happened exactly? Wasn‘t his condition stabilized already?” Darius asked.
Dr. Langhan sighed forlornly before answering Darius‘ question.
“That was a lie. In truth, the old man was already severely injured before you hit him with your car. He
was already destined to die, and even the aid of world ss doctors would be unable to save him.” Dr.
Langhan said in a sad tone.
Darius turned around and stared at Dr. Langhan in shock.
“What do you mean?” Darius asked; surprisecing his tone.
Dr. Langhan then exined what he discovered from the old man‘s body after an intense scan. It
turned out that the old man already had several internal injuries that dated years back, and some that
were recently inflicted.
There was no way the old man would have survived those injuries. Perhaps if Darius didn‘t hit him with
his car, then he would survive a few more weeks before his death. Darius hitting him with his car
aggravated his already grave injuries, hereby elerating the inevitable.
After Darius heard Dr. Langhan‘s exnation, an expression of realization appeared on his face. He
now understood why Dr. Langhan was always cutting his meetings off. It turned out that the old man
was already close to the end of his lifespan, and he didn‘t want Darius to
figure out that something was wrong with the old man.
“Why didn‘t you tell me?” Darius asked calmly.
“The old man begged me to keep this a secret from you. He didn‘t want you to be burdened by the
truth.” Dr. Langhan replied sadly.
Darius sighed at Dr. Langhan‘s answer. In the end, Darius was responsible for aggravating the old
man‘s injuries, indirectly causing his death.
“I understand.” Darius said atst.
“He asked me to give you this.” Dr. Langhan abruptly said, pulling out a special piece of paper with
equally special writings on it and handing it to Darius.

Darius collected the piece of paper with a confused expression on his face. After going through the
contents of the paper, the confused expression on his face became even more profound.
The special writings on the paper werepletely unreadable to Darius, and were written in a
language Darius had never seen before in his life.
He didn‘t understand a single thing in the paper!
“Why did he tell you to give this to me?” Darius asked Dr. Langhan skeptically.
“I don‘t know. He only said that it would be extremely important to you soon.” Dr. Langhan replied
helplessly.
Darius only became more confused at Dr. Langhan‘s answer. Unfortunately, the person who handed
Dr. Langhan the paper was now dead. There was no way he could find out the reasoning behind the
old man‘s actions.
Darius tucked the paper into his pockets and waved Dr. Langhan goodbye before exiting the hospital
room. He did, however, remember to pay hisst respects to the old man.
Darius walked straight to his car after leaving the hospital. His phone rang just as he was about to start
the car and drive away.
He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Erin once more; so he quickly answered the phone call.
“Mr. Reid, the news concerning the ident has spiraled out of control. Several of our projects have
been stalled because of the news.”
“The businessmen and the public are both beginning to question the morality of the chairman
of West Antics Int‘l, and they have tantly refused to continue any business talks until a satisfactory
exnation is issued to them.” Erin concluded.
“Alright. I‘ll be at the headquarters soon.” Darius said emotionlessly and then hung up the call.
He clenched his teeth in rage at thetest development before calming down. He knew it was pointless
to get worked up about the current turn of events. His opponent was still lurking in the shadows, and
any misstep by him would be disastrous for hispany.
He then switched on the car engine before driving towards Capital City where hispany was
located. As he drove, he kept on calcting on how to handle the current issue. The fact that his
opponent was able to sway one of the country‘s most powerful news outlets demonstrated that he was
no pushover.
Darius knew what this attack on hispany signified. The otherpanies under the Reid
consortium were only stable because of the influence his grandfather built. As the new head of the Reid
consortium, he would surelye to be in charge of all thepanies.
A massive financial group like the Reid consortium was not without its enemies. By that time, he would
have been subjected to a slew of attacks from various financial groups and conglomerates with a
vendetta against the Reid consortium.
If he was unable to sessfully defend a singlepany under his name, how would he be able to
defend hundreds ofpanies under the Reid consortium?
Darius sighed and pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind as he drove. There was a lot going on
right now, and he could only deal with one problem at a time.
He first had to deal with the obvious attack on hispany. There was no way he was going to let his
opponent have his way.
