The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 109 The drive to the SVL Royal Hotel was a smooth and uneventful one. After more than 45 minutes of driving, Darius arrived at his destination.

Darius parked the car neatly and alighted from the vehicle. Just a simple glance at the cars parked told Darius how luxurious of a place SVL Royal Hotel was. It was even more impressive and lavish than the Sky Golden Hotel back at Kingston district. However, he didn't think too much about this. He then walked confidently towards the entrance to the hotel.

Two very muscular security guards were stationed at the entrance to the hotel. Darius was an awakened martial artist now so he could vaguely feel the strength of the two security guards. Although he felt he could easily defeat them, the fact that they could threaten him slightly proved that the security guards were elite.

The two security guards frowned slightly when they saw Darius approaching them confidently. He had come to the hotel dressed in the same casual clothing he wore back in the Reid mansion, so he looked very different from the usual big shots they were used to seeing.

The security guards instinctively looked down on him the moment they saw him. They thought that he was just here to experience the feeling of being in a world class hotel such as this one, which was normal. After all, after working here for a long time, they had seen their fair share of country bumpkins claiming to be someone important. They expected Darius to be the same.

Darius nodded politely at the two security guards and moved to enter the hotel, but the security guards immediately moved to block his view.

"Where is your invitation card Sir?" one of the security guards asked thoughtfully.

Darius was surprised when the security guards blocked his entry, but arched his brow when he heard their question. He had no idea that such cards were needed to enter the hotel.

"Sir, we can't allow you to pass through without an invitation or membership card." The second security guard said disdainfully.

"I had no idea such cards were needed before entry. Could you please let me through just this once? I have an important meeting with an associate soon, and I don't want to miss it." Darius pleaded sincerely. The security guards scoffed loudly at Darius' reply. It was just as they expected. Darius was just a country bumpkin whose aim was to experience how it felt to be in a world class hotel. Hence, their tone took a sharp turn. "No. We're not allowed to grant entry if you don't have any of the aforementioned cards." One of the security guards replied scornfully. This time around they didn't even bother to hide the contempt in their voice.

Initially, they were wary about Darius. After all, several people have been deceived by the casual appearance of some prominent figures, and dug their own downfall. This was why they probed Darius by asking if he had an invitation or membership card. The prominent figures all knew that invitation or membership cards were needed to enter the hotel, so the fact that Darius was ignorant of that common knowledge convinced them that he was here for sightseeing.

The truth was that one could still enter with or without the invitation or membership cards. However, they would never be allowed past the lobby of the hotel, as the other floors of the hotel needed the cards to be accessed.

Since Darius didn't have any of the two cards, they believed that he was a country bumpkin who was there for sightseeing; therefore there was no need to grant him entry into the hotel.

Darius frowned at the tone of their voices. He initially thought that he was mistaken when they received him coldly, but there was no mistaking it now. They were clearly being ruder than necessary to him. "I should be allowed to meet with the receptionist at least, shouldn't I?" Darius asked icily. Since there were being so rude to him, there was no need for him to be polite to them.

"Sir, you are not allowed not to enter this hotel without the proper required cards. Please leave now before we take drastic measures." Aguard said. As he spoke, he approached Darius threateningly. Darius became furious at the security guard's attitude. Even if he wasn't with the required cards, he should still be granted entry into the hotel lobby. There he would inform the receptionist of his meeting with his grandfather's associate. After all, his grandfather had given him the room number where they would be meeting. He believed that once the associate knew of his arrival, he would attend to him immediately. Who would have thought that the security guards would make things difficult for him?

Darius glared at the two bodyguards angrily. He angrily put his hands into his pocket and brought out his phone. He was about to phone Bruce when the loud noises of numerous cars arriving drew his attention.

The two security guards also looked in the direction of the noises, and sure enough, the cause of the noises appeared. Six stunning silver Maybach vehicles pulled up imposingly right in front of the entrance to the hotel. The moment the security guards saw the Maybach vehicles, they immediately ignored Darius. For someone to come in such an extravagant way, he must be a big shot!

The doors to the Maybach vehicles opened simultaneously and several bodyguards alighted from the vehicle. Then they aligned themselves neatly in a straight line, while one of the bodyguards who seemed to be their leader opened the door to the silver Maybach vehicle in the middle.

A man who appeared to be over fifty years old then alighted from the vehicle. Despite his grey hair patches, he was tall and handsome even in his old age. He was clothed in a luxury white suit, with several expensive rings adorning his fingers. As he stood still, he exuded a regal and imposing aura. He was definitely someone very influential. 1

Darius who was pushed to the sidelines at his arrival narrowed his eyes at the man. He couldn't but notice that the man was a bit familiar to him. He was sure that he had seen the man before, but because the bodyguards were escorting the man closely, he couldn't see nis

face clearly.

The man started walking imposingly to the entrance of the hotel. However, he could tell that someone was staring at him intently, so he turned his head lightly to take a brief look at the

person. The moment he did, however, he stopped moving completely, his eyes widening in shock
