The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

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. 

<Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence found. Please follow the directions below> 

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.

The receptionist ignored Darius like he didn’t even exist. What a joke. Meet the manager? As plainly dressed as he was? Who did he think he was to demand a meeting with the manager?
