The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Read The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 141 – “What do you mean by you lost him?!” The chief police

officer in charge of the kidnapping case yelled into the walkie talkie.

The police officer with the walkie-talkie grimaced at his superior’s harsh tone. He knew that they would

be receiving an earful the moment he returned from the search.

“It’s exactly what I said chief. There’s no track anymore. We can’t find him at all. It’s almost as if he just

disappeared from the forest.” The police officer replied bitterly

“And you want me to believe that?!” The chief police officer yelled angrily.

“Chief-”

“Never mind. I shouldn’t have trusted you lot with something so important. Come back now; and don’t let

me wait for you more than necessary!” The chief police officer yelled furiously and ended the

conversation.

The police officer sighed and raised his head to the other police officers before yelling.

“Stop searching and pack up! We’re going back!”

The police officers obeyed his orders and started packing, and in less than a minute, the once rowdy

forest was now empty and silent once again.

Back at the cabin, Darius had been given world class emergency treatment and was now wheeled into

an ambulance. The paramedics were all present in the ambulance, and were now about to leave.

Alice whose heart was wrenching at Darius’ injury was restricted entry into the ambulance Darius was

wheeled into; but this only served to increase her worry and rightfully so. The nearest hospital was

located in the heart of Yale city, which was more than three hours away, so it was hard to say if Darius

would survive during those three hours.

Alice who was the victim of the kidnapping still needed to give her statement to the police, plus she was

also dirty from the rough 36 hours she had, so she needed to clean up too.

Just as she was getting into the police van, the police officers who embarked on the hunt for Michael

arrived at the cabin. She could see the chief police yelling at

them, but she couldn’t make out what was being said.

Before she could pay close attention to their discussion, the police van she was in started and drove off.

The ambulance drove at top speed to the nearest hospital, while the paramedics in the ambulance kept

on administering emergency treatment to Darius.

There was so much blood around Darius, and as the bullet was just an inch away from his heart, it was

unknown whether he would survive till they arrived at the hospital.

However, the paramedics were soon shocked at Darius’ perseverance. Despite the huge amount of

blood lost, Darius was able to maintain his health just above

was able to maintain his health just above the danger level!

The paramedics had no idea that this was because of the self healing trait the golden liquid gave Darius.

He was able to continually heal and maintain his health just above the danger level because of the self

healing trait.

Nonetheless, the self healing trait was not omnipotent, so unless the bullet embedded in Darius’ chest

was removed, Darius would never be fully healed; and if it wasn’t removed soon, Darius’ health would

surely take a huge hit.

Luckily, the ambulance was able to arrive at the hospital two hours later, one hour ahead of the

scheduled time.

The hospital had already been contacted ahead of time, so when the ambulance arrived at the hospital,

Darius was quickly wheeled into the operating theatre and had the best of surgeons operate on him.

Meanwhile, while Darius was being operated on, Bruce was driving Darius’ grandfather to the hospital.

“D*mn Darius! How many times has he gotten critically injured?! Is he tired of living?!” His grandfather

cursed angrily; but the worry on his face and voice could not be hidden.

The moment he was contacted by the hospital as Darius’ next of kin, he immediately ordered Bruce to

drive him to Yale city, not caring how far of a distance it was from the Reid Mansion to the hospital.

This clearly showed how worried Darius’ grandfather was.

“Who was responsible for his injury?!” His grandfather asked angrily, and the wrath of vengeance could

be seen roiling in his eyes.

“According to the police, it was the current head of the Finn conglomerate, Michael Finn who was

responsible for his critical state.” Bruce answered.

“What exactly happened?” Darius grandfather asked with a frown on his face.

Bruce then narrated what happened from the moment Darius discovered Alice was kidnapped, to the

search for her, and to when he got shot by Michael..

There was a deep frown on Darius’ grandfather’s face as Bruce narrated what happened, and the frown

only deepened as Bruce kept narrating. By the time Bruce was done narrating the events that led to

Darius’ shooting in detail, there was a sinister frown on James Reid’s face.

Just as he finished narrating the events, Bruce drove the white Rolls-Royce into the hospital grounds. He

parked the car neatly and alighted from the vehicle. He then led Darius’ grandfather straight to the

theatre waiting room where Darius was still operated on.

In the waiting room was Alice, who had just finished giving her statement to the police. She had been

there thirty minutes after Darius was wheeled into the operating room, and refused to leave for

whatsoever reason. She even refused to take her bath and clean up, opting to wait until she heard the

outcome of Darius’ surgery before doing such.

When she saw Darius grandfather walk – into the waiting room, the atmosphere became unbearably

tense for her. After all, James Reid was the former head of a financial group whose wealth couldn’t be

measured. His aura wasn’t something a normal person like Alice could handle.

Darius’ grandfather glared at her angrily, as it was because of her kidnap that his grandson was fighting

for his life in the operating theatre. His glare made Alice very scared, but he didn’t say anything to her

and just sat down, also opting to wait

for the outcome of the surgery, while Bruce stood still behind him.

After the three of them waited for an hour more, the door to the theatre room opened and the doctor in

charge of Darius operation walked out.
