The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 122 (West Atlantics Int'l, Capital City) Darius' eyes shone when he heard Hector’s answer. The Gold Group! Darius had never expected that the person who was behind everything was the head of the Gold Group.

end of the deal." Darius smiled and replied, before disconnecting the phone call. After disconnecting the phone call, Darius interlocked his fingers, rested his chin on his fingers and fell into deep thoughts. The Gold Group was Capital City's third largest business group, with a net worth in the billions of dollars. Of course, the Reid Consortium could easily crush them, but Darius had not considered this option. The Gold Group targeted West Atlantics Int'l, not the Reid Consortium; therefore he would go against the Gold Group using the strength of West Atlantics Int'l, not the Reid Consortium. This discovery put Darius in a bind. The Gold Group had deep roots in Capital City, and a huge amount of influence, otherwise they wouldn't be the third largest business group in Capital City. West Atlantics Int'l clearly had no way of going against the Gold Group with its current level of strength. As for Sterling Corporations, Darius had never considered them his opponent. The tax evasion crime was just the fastest way to crush the already crumbling company. Although he promised to destroy some evidence of Hector's tax evasion, it was not enough for Hector to escape punishment from the law. Tax evasion was just one of the heinous crimes Hector had committed to save his company. By the time the police were done with their investigation, his other crimes would be brought to light. By then, it would be useless even if the remaining evidence were not handed over to the police. The real opponent now was the Gold Group. They were the only opponent worthy of his time. He needed to work twice as hard to take them down without the Reid consortium's influence. As Darius' eyebrows were furrowed together as he was in deep thoughts, Erin watched him intently. There was a hint of admiration, respect and awe as she looked at him. When Darius received the text message the previous night, he immediately called the Director of BNC news station, the news station that reported the false news about him. When the Director discovered the identity of the caller, he was overcome with fear and shock. To be honest, BNC news would have not gone against West Atlantics Int'l, especially with such a measly attempt if it were not for the influence the Gold Group had in Capital City. They were just a news station. How could they hope to go against an influential conglomerate group like the Gold Group? Therefore, when the Director heard that the caller was the chairman of West Atlantics Int'l, he quickly adjusted his attitude and expressed his apology towards him. Even though Darius was a bit annoyed at the effects and damages BNC news station brought to his company, he chose not to pursue it. The news station was a vital weapon in his hands, and if used appropriately, it could crush his opponents easily and thoroughly. Darius then disclosed his information regarding the Sterling Corporation's tax evasion crime and advised them to broadcast it the following day on their TV station. Because the director was already anxious to please Darius, he quickly accepted his offer. Furthermore, he could see by the quick rise of West Atlantics Int'lin Capital City that West Atlantics Int'l would only grow to be a very powerful force in the near future. As for how Darius managed to discover the well hidden documents and evidence about Sterling Corporations tax evasion, no one would expect that Hector's secretary would be the one to sell Hector Sterling out. Darius wasn't lacking funds, and when benefits were involved, especially monetary benefits, there was no way
