The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 147 There was no other fiasco with the doctors or staff in Serene Hospital, and after two days as

the doctor said, Darius was discharged from the hospital.

The fast rate at which he was discharged was quite shocking to the medical personnel attending to

Darius. The reason was because a critical wound like the one Darius incurred should have one

bedridden for more than a month even after a successful surgery, yet Darius was discharged in less than

a week. :

It was completely unheard of.

Of course, this was due to the self healing trait of the golden liquid, but as the medical personnel had no

idea of the golden liquid in Darius‘ body system, their shock at his fast healing rate was understandable.

Another peculiar thing was that the surgery Darius had left no scar on his chest! It was as smooth as an

egg, and without the medical records, it would be impossible to tell that a surgery was performed on

Darius.

Darius had just finished changing from his hospital gown to his casual wear when he heard a loud knock

on his hospital door. An equally loud voice soon followed suit.

“Mr. Reid!” a male voice sounded courteously from outside the hospital door. “Come in.” Darius replied

calmly.!

The door opened and a young man in his early thirties walked in. Of course, the young man was none

other than Mr. Joseph.

Ever since the fiasco with Dr. Hills, Mr. Joseph had always made it a habit to stick to Darius. He

completely shed his previous conceited and arrogant attitude and adopted a humble one. Everyone was

shocked to see Mr. Joseph act so courteous and servile to Darius. It was a strange sight that it was

almost bizarre.

Darius however wasn‘t affected by Mr. Joseph‘s attitude. He couldn‘t care less about a minor character

like Joseph. This wasn‘t the first time people were being servile and humble to him after learning his

identity.

He didn‘t try to chase Joseph away either. He would only be in the hospital for two more days, and

people like Joseph would never completely leave him alone even if he said so. After all this was his

chance to elevate his status and that of Torrent Automobiles. He would never let a chance like this pass

him by. Moreover, after Darius was discharged from the hospital, there would be little chance of them

meeting in the future. They were in completely different worlds after all. This was why Mr.

Joseph was trying so hard to impress Darius during this short period. “Mr. Reid, I heard you are getting

discharged today, Is there anything you would like me to do for you?” Mr. Joseph asked the second he

walked into the hospital room. “None at the moment.” Darius replied flatly while adjusting the cuffs on his

shirt. Mr. Joseph didn‘t say anything after Darius‘ statement and simply waited until Darius was done

dressing up before accompanying him out of the hospital room,

After walking for a few minutes, the two of them exited the hospital. There was a very luxurious black

Bentley parked just outside the hospital doors, and Darius recognized the vehicle as the Bentley Bruce

had used to pick him up from the police station when he was nearly assassinated in Dragon Estate.

The appearance of the luxurious Bentley attracted attention as usual, but Darius was already used to it.

Mr. Joseph who was beside Darius at that time however had his jaws wide open at the sight of the black

Bentley.

As the General Manager of an automobile company, Mr. Joseph was more adept and more

knowledgeable about cars than anyone present, so he naturally knew how expensive the black Bentley

was.

It was worth well over ten million dollars! It was an amount that he was not sure he would be able to earn

even after working as the General Manager of Torrent Automobiles for five years! .2

Darius walked over to where the black Bentley was parked, the door already opened for him to enter.

Once he got into the Bentley, the door automatically shut, and the Bentley sped out of the hospital

ground.

All the while, there was only one thought on Joseph‘s mind.

‘He was glad he had made the right choice.‘ Meanwhile, in the Bentley, Bruce was the one driving the

luxury car, and this arrangement was demanded by James Reid, Darius‘ grandfather.

“It‘s glad to see you fully healthy once again.” Bruce said as Darius settled into his seat.

“Thank you.” Darius replied courteously. The rest of the ride was uneventful. Bruce and Darius kept

having light conversation with each other, but as the journey went on, the interval between Darius replies

became longer and longer. Eventually, there was no more reply from Darius, and when Bruce took a

glance at the passenger‘s seat through the mirror, he realized that Darius had fallen asleep along the

ride.

Letting out a smile, he slowed the Bentley‘s speed in order to let Darius have enough sleep. They

weren‘t in a rush to reach their destination after all. By the time Darius finally woke up, Bruce was just

five minutes away from the Reid Mansion. “Sorry. I fell asleep halfway the journey.” Darius apologized

sheepishly. “It‘s alright Young Master Reid.” Bruce replied with a smile on his face. Darius didn‘t say

anything after that, and soon enough, the Bentley came to a stop in the Reid Mansion

Darius alighted from the Bentley and made his way inside the mansion. He didn‘t go to room; but instead

headed straight to his grandfather‘s study room. It had been a while since he last met his grandfather,

and knowing him, Darius guessed that he must have been very worried. Darius knocked twice on the

sturdy study room door before opening it and entering the room, without waiting for a response from his

grandfather, “Darius!” His grandfather greeted happily, and there was a huge smile on his face the

moment he saw Darius.

Darius walked over to him and gave him a tight hug. They stayed in the hugging position for more than a

minute before his grandfather finally broke away. “Sit, and then tell me what happened exactly.” His

grandfather said strongly as he took his own seat.

Darius obeyed and took his seat before narrating the events surrounding Alice‘s kidnap once again.

When Darius was done narrating the incidents that occurred, there was a blatant expression of rage on

his grandfather‘s face.

There was a brief moment of silence before Darius‘ grandfather spoke up. “I would have already taken

action against the Finn Conglomerate, but Michael Finn‘s father, Maxwell Finn invited the two of us to

dinner in IUV Xenon Hotels.” His grandfather said in a stoic voice. Darius arched an eyebrow at his

grandfather‘s statement. He didn‘t expect that Michael‘s father would invite him and his grandfather for

dinner. “Why?” Darius couldn‘t help but ask. He was genuinely curious to know what Michael‘s father

reason was for inviting him and his grandfather for dinner. “He didn‘t say so.” His grandfather shook his

head and replied. There was another brief silence, and both of them thought about the dinner invitation

for a while before Darius‘ grandfather suddenly said in a domineering voice.

“He must want to plead for leniency with this invitation, so we will accept his invitation for dinner.

However, if he doesn‘t give us a satisfactory reason for us to be lenient with them, then even God will not

be able to save them from the hell I will unleash on them.” Darius‘ grandfather swore, a dangerous glint

in his eyes, and even though the threat was not directed at him, Darius felt chills run down his spine.
