Chapter 149
Darius had a stoic expression on his face as he stared at the man seated beside the table filled with
delicacies, and although he couldn‘t look at his grandfather‘s expression now, he could guess that he
had the same stoic expression. Maxwell Finn was relatively handsome, and although he was old now,
Darius could tell that he was a playboy in his younger days, and it wasn‘t hard to tell where Michael
Finn got his impressive looks from.
Yet, while there were some similarities between the father and son, there were surely some differences
between them.
For one, Maxwell did not have the brutal and cunning impression his son had, and he looked somewhat
gentle; but that made Darius a bit wary. After all, he knew one of the most basic rules in a meeting like
this was never to judge a book by its cover. Although Maxwell Finn might look harmless right now, he
could be more cunning and brutal than his son. They had the same blood after all.
Maxwell Finn stood up as a sign of respect and welcomed both Darius and his grandfather to the table.
“Welcome, Mr. James, Mr. Darius.” Maxwell greeted in a voice that portrayed humility as Darius and his
grandfather settled into their seats.
“It‘s a pleasure to meet the famed business mogul; James Reid of the Reid Consortium.” Maxwell
stated as he settled down into his own seat.
“The pleasure is all mine.” James Reid replied calmly.
“The same goes for you as well, Darius Reid.” Maxwell said in the same humble tone, staring right at
Darius as he spoke. However, there was an indescribable glint in his eyes as he stared at Darius.
“Me?” Darius asked skeptically, his tone betraying his confusion.
“Yes you. I‘ve been following your exploits and I must say you‘ve done a great job as the chairman of
Nix Inc. and other subsidiary companies.” Maxwell praised.
“Ah. I see. Thank you.” Darius responded in a tone that lacked conviction. Maxwell merely smiled at
Darius‘ lackluster response and said nothing else. “Please have your meal. I had the very best chefs in
this hotel prepare the meals. I‘m sure they would be to your liking.” Maxwell suggested happily as he
shifted some of the food on the table closer to them.
Darius frowned slightly and stole a peek at his grandfather. He was skeptical about eating the meal
Maxwell prepared for them, but seeing his grandfather eating with gusto; he let out a sigh and also
delved into his meal.
Maxwell let out a small smile, and followed suit. Soon enough, only the sound of them eating could be
heard in the large room.
The meal was concluded in silence, and by the time they were done eating, fifteen minutes had already
elapsed.
Maxwell clapped his hands twice and the expensively dressed waiter who showed Darius and his
grandfather to their seats appeared and cleared the table, before leaving just as silently as he came.
“That was a pleasant meal.” Darius‘ grandfather said, breaking the fifteen minute long silence.
“I‘m glad.” Maxwell replied with a smile on his face.
“Good. Now let‘s move on to the main reason we‘re gathered here.” Darius‘ grandfather said without
warning, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely tense.
“What is your purpose for inviting us here?” James Reid asked in an extremely cold voice. There was
no longer any amicable atmosphere to the meeting, and it was now time to come out with guns blazing.
Maxwell Finn had a complex expression on his face. He had thought that after the pleasant meal, he
would take charge of the conversation and ease into the reason he invited them out, but he seemed he
had underestimated Darius‘ grandfather. With just a single compliment, he had seized control of the
conversation, and he was now on the back foot. This development had inevitably made things more
difficult than he expected.
“I‘m not here to beat around the bush, Mr. Maxwell.” James Reid said in an icy tone.
“Tell me why I shouldn‘t take action against the Finn Conglomerate after your son tried to take my
grandson‘s life.”
“If you can‘t give me a good reason not to, then I guarantee you that I will crush the entirety of the Finn
conglomerate in just two days!” James Reid threatened furiously, and Maxwell felt chills run down his
spine.
James Reid was just too overbearing! “M–Mr. James, please calm down.” Maxwell pleaded; his
composure no longer present.
There was no doubt in the business circle that James Reid was a man of his word, and was someone
that could not be offended at any cost.
He could tell that James Reid was being truthful with his threat, and Maxwell knew that it would be cost
even less than two days for the Reid Consortium to crush them; hence he needed to pacify them no
matter the costs.
“Please calm down Mr. James. I know the gravity of the crime my son committed, which is why I have
decided to make amends for them.” Maxwell said, recomposing himself.
“I will give this hotel to Darius right here as a token of my apology.” Maxwell said calmly.
“Are you mocking me?” Darius narrowed his eyes and asked in a tone as cold as ice. If looks could kill,
Maxwell would surely be six feet under.
What a joke! He was nearly killed by Michael. Did Maxwell think that a measly 10 star hotel was
enough to mitigate the damages caused to his life? The Reid consortium didn‘t have shortage of 10
star hotels. This token of apology was nothing more than a sham in his eyes.
Michael seemed to have anticipated Darius‘ response, so he replied in a calm tone. “I wouldn‘t dare
mock you. It is truly just a token of my apology.” Maxwell responded wryly.
Even James Reid grandson was overbearing, and clearly cut from the same coat as his grandfather.
«The Finn Conglomerate has nothing to do with the attack on your grandson; and it is solely my fault as
a parent that I let Michael develop in the direction he went.” Maxwell started; his tone bitter.
“It is obvious that the Finn conglomerate is no match for your financial group, so we wouldn‘t dare
resist, especially when we are in the wrong.” “As a result, we have taken a drastic action and decided
to cut Michael off from the family tree.” Maxwell said resolutely.
“As from now on, Michael Finn is no longer a member of the Finn family, and hereby has no shares in
the Finn conglomerate!”
