The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Darius found himself driving through various luxurious buildings as the cab moved. Darius had never been to this part of town before, so he was taken aback by the opulence of the buildings.

Finally after driving for over 45 minutes, the cab came to stop at a very luxurious gate. Darius waited for a few seconds for the driver to move forward but there was no sign of movement from the driver. Confused, Darius decided to ask what the issue was.

“Hello, could you please go further? Or is there a reason we‘re stopping here?” Darius asked.

When he heard Darius‘ question, the cab driver who was a middle–aged man, lightly shook his head. It seemed that his hunch was right after all. His passenger clearly had no clue how Dragon Estate worked.

“Pardon me Sir, but I really cannot go any further than this. Is this by chance Sir‘s first visit to Dragon Estate?” the cab driver asked.

Darius wondered how the cab driver could tell that it was his first time here but answered anyway.

“Yes it is.”

“Ah. I see. No wonder.” The cab driver said out loud.

“Is there a problem?” Darius asked. He was curious to know why the cab driver looked at him the way he did.

“Of course not. It‘s just that taxis and public transportation are not permitted in Dragon Estate. It‘s a common rule around here. I assumed you were aware of the rule. That‘s it.” The cab driver elaborated.

Darius made a light realization sound. It was no surprise that the cab driver gave him an odd look when he said he was going to Dragon Estate. If he was going to Dragon Estate, he should have known that taxis and public transportation were not permitted.

“Oh. I see now. Thank you for your explanation.” Darius said, thanking the driver.

“It‘s nothing sir.”

Darius alighted from the cab and paid the money for the cab services before making his way towards the luxurious gates.

Darius hadn‘t given the gates much thought before, but as he approached them, he realized how impressive they were. It appeared to be entirely made of gold. It had a regal appearance and was expertly designed. The gates had a detailed dragon logo on them, and the words” Dragon Estate” were neatly carved onto the top of the gates.

Darius wondered what over the top place Bruce had arranged for him. He let out a sigh before moving forward. However, before he could get close to the gates, he was stopped in his tracks by a loud voice.

“Halt!”
