The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 157

The manager cautiously shot a sideways smirk at Darius before lowering her head. “My apologies, but I can’t recognize the brand of his clothes as it doesn’t seem well known. However, his clothes do look expensive.”

Darius could tell the former’s tone was full of mockery. That was when a confident voice said on the other end of the call, “If an article of clothing has no brand, it must be a custom piece. I doubt someone that capable would show up at our casino. Likewise, there’s no way this poor little boy would ever be acquainted with someone so wealthy.”

The situation seemed like a joke to Darius, who kept silent the entire time and kept his hands in his pockets. Even so, his frosty eyes sent chills down everyone’s spines. Darius eventually reached out to knock on the table twice before retorting, “Aren’t I supposed to grant your business more wealth through my patronage? Why did no one welcome me? Instead, you left me out here alone. Is this how your fancy casino treats its customers?”

Upon hearing his words, the person on the call flew into a rage and thundered, “Listen here, you little punk! Our casino would never allow you, someone impersonating a member of the Reid family, through our doors! As for your friend, you can only save him after putting the five million dollars on this table.”

Darius’ hands returned to his pockets as his eyes narrowed. “What are you talking about?”

He did not believe the words of the person on the phone. After all, he knew Rudd had excellent control over things, so it did not make sense that the latter would have such a massive funding gap.

Darius’ rage was growing at that point. Even so, he could not do anything since he had yet to see Rudd in person. Thus, he flashed them a blank look while asking, “How did he end up owing you this amount?”

Roaring laughter came from the phone right then. Even the manager was chuckling.

Meanwhile, Darius was the only one whose expression did not change.
