The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Chapter 184


    Darius nodded. This was the best option he had right now.


    When the official saw that he didn''t mind, he finally felt at ease. He now knew how wealthy Darius really


    was, and it wasn''t something that he could even begin to imagine. However, because of his job, he had


    no choice but to treat Darius like this, despite his reluctance.


    Under such circumstances, it would be hard to prevent Darius’ impression of him from turning sour and,


    in turn, taking action to vent his frustrations. The official couldn''t think of any way to make this situation


    better.


    Soon, however, something worse urred to him. Judging from Darius’ attitude, it would piss him off


    even more, and it wasn''t something the official wanted to see. He started feeling anxious again, but


    there were no other alternatives. If he were to keep this from Darius, it would probably only make him


    angrier. He kept shifting around, and both Darius and Ward noticed this.


    Ward looked apologetic again. “I''m sorry about this mess. There''s something that''s troubling you, isn''t


    there?"


    The official''s eyes widened. "God, Professor Plinsky, you got me. ording to our guidelines, what


    you''ve done is a serious matter with serious consequences. But I can''t help sympathizing with you after


    listening to your side of the story, which means I can''t bring myself to handle this objectively. It''s not


    right for me to feel like this."


    Ward shook his head. "No, you just need to do what you''re supposed to. I, too, have to bear the


    consequences of what I''ve done." Then, he turned to Darius and sighed. "I''m sure you know that I''ve


    made a grievous mistake here. Now, I''m no longer a teacher and will never be in the future. I believe


    you understand this is because of what I''ve done."


    He turned to the official and said, "Darius Reid is the most outstanding student I''ve ever had, and you


    can trust him as I do. He won''t seek revenge or make you pay the price for doing your job.”


    The official looked at Darius, who took a deep breath and nodded. "That''s right. I won''t me you for


    this and disrupt your job.”


    While they spoke, the car continued to drive along steadily. Soon, they arrived at their destination.


    Darius opened the door and got out of the car, looking calm. It was as if he was getting out of his


    Bugatti.


    The officials stood behind him, and all four of them went into the building, after which Darius was


    escorted to a room with a ck door. He walked in and sat down under the bright lights. There was a


    table in the room. He sat on one side while two other officials sat on the other. The tall, burly official that


    had escorted him here didn''t leave the room, though. He stood by the door and waved at the two


    officials seated at the table.


    They looked at him in confusion, then got up and walked out of the room, leaving Darius alone. As the


    door was shut, he saw the official who''d brought him here dropping something on the floor. It was tiny


    and didn''t look like a phone, but Darius still walked over to it. He squatted and saw that it was a small


    key that had been wrapped up in what looked like cotton wool. He put it into his pocket. He didn’t know


    what it was for, but it definitely wasn''t for him to break out of there.


    Darius recalled what the official had said about locking him up in a ce where he would be alone and


    with a phone signal. This key probably had something to do with that. He had just returned to the table


    and sat down when the door swung open. The two officials who''d sat across him came back in, not


    looking too happy.


    "Darius Reid, we''ve already looked into the matter. You were brought here to be given a final chance to


    exin yourself. As one of Kingston University''s top students, you should know what''s the right thing to


    do.”


    Darius now knew why the official who''d brought him here had left him that key-he probably knew


    something was wrong. So, he stood up and straightened his clothes while nodding. "I was already


    prepared for the possibility that you guys were not innocent from the moment I stepped in. And so, no


    matter what you say, I''ll admit to it. If you want to take me away, now’s the time."


    The two officials shared a look and saw the anger in each other’s eyes. They turned to Darius, their


    gazes turning hostile. "We thought you would’ve known what the right choice was, but it seems that we


    were wrong. That''s why we''re going to teach you exactly the right choice to make under these


    circumstances, and we''re going to show you what you should and shouldn''t do."


    When Darius saw them take their shirts off and walk over to him, cracking their knuckles and smiling


    menacingly, he knew what they would do. A hesitant expression crept onto his face, but after some


    thought, he figured there was nothing to worry about with his wealth.

    Therefore, he got to his feet and dodged one of the official''s attacks with a quick sidestep. Then, he


    took the opportunity tond a kick on his back, which sent him sprawling onto the floor. A crisp sound


    rang out. Darius knew his bones were broken and looked at the guy mockingly.


    "You''re pretty bad at this. I''d be worried if all you officials were like this.” Then, he turned to look at the


    other official. He was in an offensive stance but hadn''t made his move because of his horror.


    Darius said, "You have two options-either you take me to where I''m supposed to be, or you can end up


    sprawled on the ground like your colleague.”
