The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Darius was obviously unaware of the conversation between the duo security guards. Instead he was smitten by the luxury and opulence of the estate. The entire estate was crammed with opulent shops and several tall buildings. Numerous pricey sedans and sports cars sped down the street. The shops were noticeably superior to those found outside the estate. Darius had no idea that such an opulent location existed. It seemed very surreal to him.

In his fascinated state, he had forgotten that Bruce had never given him a specific location to visit. He only realized after a while that Bruce had only mentioned Dragon Estate and the manager.

He brought out his phone and called Bruce. The phone didn‘t ring once before Bruce picked up the call.

“Hello Young Master Reid. Is anything the problem?” Bruce answered in an overly respectful voice.

“Hm. I‘m at Dragon Estate now and I just recalled that you only mentioned the Estate and the Manager. There are several housing apartments in this estate. Could you please specify the exact place you want me to visit?” Darius explained. “Absolutely Young Master Reid! It is a blunder on my part. Please pardon my incompetence.” Bruce apologized worriedly, afraid of angering Darius. “Don‘t worry about it. Just tell me the exact location I have to visit.” Darius said impatiently. It was mid afternoon now and he was already running out of time.

“Yes yes. Please visit the Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence and ask for the Manager there. She‘ll drop whatever she‘s doing and attend to you immediately.” Bruce said. “Alright. Thank you.” Darius said before disconnecting the call.

“Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence? What‘s with the corny names? This isn‘t a Chinese movie.” Darius mumbled as he input the name into his Map direction on his phone.

Darius followed the directions and after a few minutes of walking he finally arrived at his destination. However the sight before him rendered him speechless.

He couldn‘t find the right words to describe the sight before him. The Residence was completely stunning. It was as imposing as a residence could be. Darius had seen several high rise buildings on his way here but none of them could compare to the building in front of him.

Although the building was named Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence, it was more of a penthouse. The gates in front of the Residence were by far more imposing than the gates to the estate itself.

Darius walked slowly but confidently towards the building‘s gates. Unlike the first time he

approached the gates to the estate, no security guards appeared to stop him this time.

It was expected as the security in the Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence was of the highest class. Not just anyone could enter the Dragon Estate as each person living or working in Dragon Estate had a verified identity. It was why they didn‘t station or hire any security personnel to guard the entrance to the Residence.

It was also the reason Dan was concerned about Thomas‘ decision to let an unknown stranger into the Dragon Estate. Although they occasionally let strangers with expensive cars pass through the gates, they made certain to verify the identities of such strangers. Darius was the first exception, and the only person who had not had his identity verified before being allowed through

Darius made his way past the luxurious gates and entered the lobby of the imposing residence. The lobby was just as extravagant as the exterior of the building. Several golden chandeliers hung from the luxurious ceiling of the lobby while the floors of the lobby were shiny and polished to perfection.
