The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 (Reid Mansion]

The past three days had been smooth sailing for Darius, as while the Erihal Group were battling bankruptcy on different fronts as a result of James Reid concentrated attacks, he was recuperating peacefully from his injuries.

He woke up this morning as early as usual, and was still brimming with energy. He obeyed his grandfather’s words and practiced the breathing techniques in the book his grandfather gave him before practicing his martial arts routines. As he practiced over the days, he found out that the moves were executed easier than before. The moves that used to be rigid were now executed as fluidly as water. Not only that, the time taken to perform all his routines cut short by more than half!

He also noticed that his kicks and punches had increased in power, and he could process things faster than usual. Unknowingly to Darius, the golden potion that his grandfather used in treating him not only improved the external attributes of the body, but also the internal aspects. It was why his brain power was improved. If there was a way to check his lifespan, he would also be shocked to see that his life span had been extended! 1

Darius was oblivious to the effects of the golden liquid, and therefore did not think that far. When he was done with his martial arts routines, he took a quick shower before joining his

grandfather in his study room.

As expected, his grandfather was relaxing in his study. There was a book in his hand while a half empty bottle of exotic whiskey on the mahogany desk when Darius walked in. He took a seat opposite his grandfather. His grandfather arched an eyebrow at Darius sudden visit. During the past three days they had only spoken to each other a few times as Darius was mainly recuperating inside his room.

“Grandfather.” Darius greeted politely. His grandfather waved his hands in response to his greetings but did not remove his eyes from the book.

Darius knew his grandfather was an avid reader hence he wasn’t bothered about that. He simply went ahead and stated the reason he wished to speak with his grandfather. “I am fully healed now, so I would be leaving here today.” Darius said. When James heard his grandson’s words, he removed his gaze from the book and stared at his grandson with concern in his eyes. “Are you sure that you have completely healed from your injuries?” James asked concernedly. “I am fine now.” Darius answered. “Are you sure?” James asked. “Why not stay for a few more days?”

“Thank you grandfather, but I can no longer afford to stay here. I have a lot of work waiting for me and a lot of documents to sign. Besides, our exams are coming up too. I have to study too.” Darius replied, politely rejecting his grandfather’s suggestions.

Although Darius didn’t mention it, he also wanted to leave so that he could find and exact his

revenge on Luke. He had no idea that the whole Erihal Group were now facing the brunt of Luke’s vile deed, and wanted to take down Luke himself.

James didn’t give up trying to persuade Darius to stay behind, but Darius turned him down every time. It wasn’t until Darius promised to return in the near future that James agreed to leave.
