Chapter 99
The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr
Chapter 99 âWest Atlantics Intâl?â The figure asked domineeringly.
Beads of sweat formed on Alanâs head as the figure asked. His aura was just too overwhelming, and Alan felt like he had been submerged in a bucket of ice.
âY-yesâ Alan stuttered There another was a brief moment of silence, and the figure withdrew his suffocating aura before he finally spoke up âTell me more about this companyâ
Alan heaved a sigh of relief after the figure withdrew his aura before proceeding to tell the figure all the details he knew about West Atlantics Intâl.
As Alan spoke, the figure listened with rapt attention, and by the time Alan was done speaking, there was an indiscernible smirk on his lips.
âInteresting.â The figure commented According to Alan, West Atlantics Intâl was a new investment company based in Capital city, and the sole chairman was a young man in his twenties who was acquainted with Tyrell Sanders of the Sanders Group Perhaps, the young man had a very impressive background, which was why he could ignore the Gillette Group and save the Chamberlains Corporation, However, he was still too naive.
âFind another business group and give them your full support. Our plan remains the same.â The figure ordered with a note of finality.
âCertainly sir!â Alan exclaimed enthusiastically âAs for West Atlantics Intâl, leave them to me.â The figure said cynically, Alan nodded timidly at his words.
âYou can leave now.â The figure said nonchalantly âYes sir!â Alan said fearfully before scurrying away from the room in haste. It was only when he was far from the room that he breathed out a sigh of relief.
The figure was far too scary Meanwhile, after Alan left, the figure grinned widely before speaking out.
âInvestigate this young man from West Atlantics Intâl. The figure ordered It was stranoe because there was no one in the room at first glance. So, who was the figure conversing with?
âAs you wish.â A hoarse voice sounded out of nowhere.
Just as the voice sounded, the shadows in the room shifted significantly and a figure cloaked wholly in black appeared in front of the mysterious persona.
âDonât hurt him yet. It will be troublesome if he is part of them. I just need you to monitor him.â The mysterious persona said.
âAs you wish.â The figure cloaked in black replied âGood That is all Report back to me in two days.â The mysterious persona concluded.
This time there was no response from the cloaked figure, and the figure flickered blurrily before disappearing from sight The mysterious persona smiled sardonically. If the young man was indeed part of them, then he would consider taking another decision if he wasnât then he would kill him.
[Reid Mansion Inside the extremely luxurious Reid mansion, James Reid, Dariusâ grandfather was inside his study room, On the brown mahogany desk in the study room, several picture albums lay on the table In James Reid hands was another picture album.
The picture album had pictures of Tristan Reid, his son, his daughter-in-law, and Darius Reid, his grandson, seventeen years ago. The three of them had beautiful smiles on their faces, and were extremely happy Unfortunately, both his son and his daughter-in-law were no longer alive, and he lost his grandson for over sixteen years. Luckily, after years of fruitless search, he was finally able to meet his grandson again As he stared at the picture, his gaze slowly turned cold. Although the accident happened a long time ago. it was still very fresh in his mind, as it was a traumatizing experience for him.
The autopsy and investigation said they died from a car crash, but James didnât believe it. He knew that there was more to it than met the eye According to the police, the car malfunctioned, causing their accident, but it was quite unbelievable because the Reid mansionâs staff always made sure that the cars were well maintained Therefore, how could a malfunction be the cause of the crash?
James Reid in his anger and bitterness had expended a lot of resources to search for the truth behind the accident for years, but he was unable to find anything related to the incident This astounded James because the Reid consortium was an influential and wealthy conglomerate in S country, worth trillions of dollars. The fact that they couldnât find anything even after searching for years meant that the people involved were no less powerful than them 1 If his speculations were true, then he needed to tread very carefully around them. One wrong step could prove to be very costly for him, While he was still contemplating about this issue, there was a knock on the door, jolting him out of his reverie âCome in,â James called out The door opened slowly and Bruce walked in with a pile of documents in his hands.
âThis is the report about the progress of West Atlantics Intâlâ Bruce said politely as he handed over the report to James James collected the report and read through it. He had directed Bruce to keep track of West Atlantics Internationalâs progress and report back to him. He needed to see if his grandson could lead the entire Reid consortium in his absence, because what he had shown him about the Reid consortium was only the tip of the iceberg 1 By the time he was done with reading the report, there was a solemn gaze on his face.
