The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 214

Chapter 214

The screen showed what happened after Erin dragged the older woman out of the airport earlier.

Darius’ eyes darkened like a hailstorm had broken out in his eyes. Not a word came from him. He looked at Shelvin and stated, "I don't know who you are, and I can't do anything if you decide to publicize that video. However, I believe you're aware that doing so makes you my enemy.”

Shelvin's lips curved upward. "I know, but I'd still like to see you pay dearly. After all, I don't like people who own vast riches."

Darius’ eyes narrowed. He never anticipated Shelvin to say such things. Even so, he remained stoic. He only nodded before returning to his seat and shutting his eyes.

“Then I wish you luck,” Bridget, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said. She then took out her laptop and got comfortable in her seat.

That set off a sudden anxiety in Shelvin. He quickly shut off his phone, approached Bridget’s side, and looked at her laptop.

Bridget ignored him all the while, her eyes glued onto the screen before her. Still, she remarked, "Edward, this is all your fault."

Edward nodded and immediately stood from his seat. He walked over to the spot between Bridget and Shelvin, pivoted to face the latter, then stated with a low, icy growl,

"You shouldn't be standing here and trying to look at Bridget's laptop. It doesn’t matter what your reasons are.”

"I don't like how you're speaking to me," said Shelvin, whose eyes had narrowed.

"You're probably unaware, but you're no match for me. Of course, I understand a young man like yourself has unlikely seen much of the world, so I doubt you'll believe me. Thus, I intend to prove my superiority to you with my actions."

It was the first time Edward had gotten criticized that way. Rage soon boiled under his skin as he felt Shelvin was provoking him. What surprised him was he could not react in time when a strong wind blew from opposite him. His legs struggled to stay rooted on the ground. Soon, he lost balance and was nearly about to fall.

That was a feeling he had never felt before. The fear gushing inside him caused his eyes to grow wide.

Edward refused to give up just yet. He raised both fists, hoping gravity's pull would help him bash Shelvin. Alas, Edward realized that was wishful thinking as it did not happen.

By the time Edward raised his arms, his body had already stumbled backward. If it were not for the chair behind him and

Bridget's arm that supported him, he would have already landed on the ground.

The turn of events drained all color from his face.He now knew he could not protect Darius, which made him feel very defeated.

Behind him, Kate was in the same state. Sheer panic coursed through her veins as she shot to her feet, wanting to aid Darius.

Unfortunately, the wind was so strong that she stumbled onto the ground without the support of her seat.

The thud caused by her fall was barely audible through the howling wind. That wind came from none other than Shelvin, who casually raised an arm. He did not do anything but that simple movement.

Still, as everyone's eyes glazed with fear, so did his. Everyone soon gawked at Darius.

"That's my most powerful move! Although it’s not lethal, it can strike fear into the hearts of everyone around. So how can Darius stay in his seat as though nothing is happening? I won't accept that! It's as if my attack is powerless against him!" Shelvin seethed in his heart.

In the meantime, Darius remained seated and was looking at his laptop. Not even a strand of his hair got tousled from the wind. Shelvin had been an enlightened martial artist for many years, but he had never witnessed such a scene before. His brows knitted as he stared alertly at Darius, asking, "Who are you? Why are you able to ignore my attack?"

"And here I thought you could tell that we're both enlightened martial artists," Darius casually said while he stood and straightened his clothes. His eyes locked onto Shelvin like a predator.

"At first, I detected something on your body but decided not to question it. What I don’t understand is why you're targeting me. I have many enemies, but I don't recall you being one of them.”

When he said that, he could sense that Shelvin had let out a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, he did not allow the latter to be at ease for long. He added,” And that pisses me off even more. I boarded this plane like any other passenger, yet a stranger now targets me for no reason. He plans to ruin my entire life and kill me."

All warmth had left Darius’ voice when he spat that last sentence at Shelvin. Before Shelvin could respond, he got smashed to the ground by an airborne attack.

The plane shook violently once more.

Shelvin gathered all his might to prop himself upright. At that moment, his eyes rounded with disbelief at Darius. One of his most powerful skills dealt no damage to the other party. Shelvin crawled over and

groveled before Darius’ feet.

"I-I made a mistake, D-Darius. Because of my poor background, I took on this mission to harm you. But now, I understand that I'm no match for you, I hope you can show me mercy by not getting even with me for my earlier actions."
