Read The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 151 – The next turns of events were straightforward for Darius.
After appointing Mr. Lewis as the new Director of Serene Hospital, the details he requested from Erin
were sent to his phone. This included the details about every doctor or nurse who had involved in
questionable activities that were overlooked by the previous owners.
As a result of this, several long term doctors and nurses were laid off without any hesitation despite
their pleas and tears. They had expected the worst from Darius the moment they heard the owners of
the hospital had changed, but they were still shocked at how quickly he executed his orders.
It had only been two hours since Darius became the new owner of the hospital, yet several doctors and
nurses had been laid off!
The news of Mr. Lewis’ appointment as the new Director of Serene Hospital was received by the staff
with mixed feelings. Some were happy, some were sad, while some were mainly indifferent.
Nonetheless, no matter what they felt, they knew better than to complain outrightly about it. No one
wanted to be on the wrong side of the new owner after all.
Dr. Hills was also given a new position as the Chief of his medical department by Darius. He was
incredibly glad, as this was something he would never have gotten during Director Yul’s reign.
After handling the major changes, Darius handed over the rest of the structural changes for Mr. Lewis
to handle; which he gladly accepted.
A day had passed after Darius hostile takeover of Serene Hospital, and only a day was left until Darius’
discharge from the hospital.

He was seating on a sofa beside the hospital bed in his hospital room, a stoic expression on his face.
The door to the hospital room suddenly swung open and two people walked in. Darius looked up
immediately at the sound, a small frown on his face, but the moment he saw who the two people were,
he stood up and bowed his head lightly.
Of course, the two people were none other than James Reid his grandfather and Bruce.
“Darius,” his grandfather greeted as Darius bowed his head lightly.
“Have a seat grandfather.” Darius said as he offered the sofa he previously sat on to his grandfather.
After his grandfather settled down on the sofa, he glanced at Darius with a serious expression on his
face before speaking “Darius, there is something I would like to talk to you about.” Darius’ grandfather
said in a grave tone.
Bruce, who was standing silently behind Darius’ grandfather, nodded his head subtly after Darius
grandfather words before slipping out of the hospital room quietly.
Darius felt his heart leap and beat rapidly after hearing his grandfather’s words. The fact that his
grandfather had come over all the way here to talk to him directly showed how important the situation
was.
“I’m all ears grandfather.” Darius said slowly but firmly, all the while staring at his grandfather with a
resolute gaze.
“Have you been feeling some changes in your body recently?” His grandfather asked out of the blue in
a heavy tone, a serious expression on his face.
Darius was completely taken aback by the question and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
“Changes?”
“What do you mean changes?” Darius asked; confusion lacing his tone.
Darius’ grandfather let out a sigh at his grandson response before saying in a serious tone.
“Don’t tell me that you don’t know that something has been going in your body.”
“You were shot close to the heart at close range. Did you think that it was normal to recover this quickly
from what seemed to be a critical injury?” His grandfather asked exasperatedly.
A look of realization crossed Darius ‘face at his grandfather’s words. He then remembered the changes
he experienced in his body prior to the kidnapping incident, “Do you remember the first time you were
attacked by a subordinate of Luke Erihal?” Darius’ grandfather asked calmly, Darius nodded his head in
agreement. There was no way he would forget the attack that nearly cost him his life.
“You see, you almost died then, and I was forced to use an heirloom of the Reid consortium, which is
why you were able to survive the critical injuries.” Darius grandfather said.
He then went ahead to explain how he used the golden liquid that was passed down from different
generations of Reids to save his life, and Darius listened to him with apt attention,
By the time he was done, everything became very clear to Darius. His sudden improvement in strength,
his faster comprehension of combat moves and martial arts, and his improved bodily senses all
stemmed as a result of the golden liquid. It was an eye opener for him.
“You see, the world is a very vast one, and there are so many things that are out of our control.” His
grandfather said somberly.
“There are different consortiums in the world that are at the same level as us, and some might even be
bigger than we are. As a result, every of our decisions and actions has to be well thought out.”
“For the past three years I’ve noticed that a change is coming, and there are many dark forces that are
now coming out of obscurity. While they would not dare go against the Reid consortium now, I don’t
know about the future; therefore we need to be duly prepared for any unexpected revolution.”
Darius fell into deep thoughts at his grandfather’s words. He had no idea that something so profound
was brewing in the dark, and that it was enough to make even his grandfather wary.
He knew that the reason his grandfather told him about this was to prepare him for the future when he
would be fully in charge of the Reid consortium, and he couldn’t be more grateful than this to his
grandfather.
“Grandfather, I know you’re worried about me, but I can reassure you that as long as I’m here, no one
will be able to topple the Reid consortium.” Darius swore solemnly.
Darius’ grandfather looked at his grandson who had a resolute gaze on his face and smiled softly
before saying “That’s good. I’ll always be here to support you no matter what.” His grandfather
promised firmly.
The two then engaged in a light conversation for a couple of minutes before Darius’ grandfather
decided to take his leave.
After Darius’ grandfather and Bruce exited the hospital, Darius fell into deep thoughts, a solemn
expression on his face; and he couldn’t help but worry.
Despite the words of reassurances he whispered to himself, he couldn’t help but feel that they were
troubled times ahead; the ones that could overwhelm him.
