The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 238

Chapter 238

Miguel felt Darius’ hand wrap around his neck, and it wasn’t a nice feeling.He became especially angry when he heard what Darius said.He struggled to take a deep breath, his eyes bulging.

It wasn’t easy to do so because of Darius’ grip, but he managed to force out, "Darius, you've made a mistake.As long as you admit to your wrongdoings or pay a fee, no one will come after you anymore.But if you harm me, it’ll only worsen your crimes.You won't be able to bear the consequences!"

"Thanks for the advice, dude.But if I were you, I’d think about this —you were the one to attack me out of nowhere, yet you’re telling me to think about the consequences."

Miguel paled and widened his eyes in shock.

"You’re about to get locked up at the detention center! How dare you speak to me like that!"

Darius looked at him, his face is void of emotion.His tone was mocking, though, as he said, "I wouldn’t be saying things like that if I were you.After all, you have no idea how rich I am."

Miguel stared at him.

Despite his breathing difficulties, he still forced out a laugh.

"I know that, as a young man, you want people to acknowledge you, but pretending to be rich isn’t going to help you achieve that.On the contrary, it will only make things awkward for you."

Darius didn’t expect him to say that.He raised an eyebrow, then said, "What would you do if you were in my shoes?"

This made Miguel falter.He hadn’t thought about this.He opened his mouth a few times, but he ended up not saying a thing.

Then, the skinnier guy who’d been standing behind the three burly men finally showed his face.He stood before Darius with his hands in his pockets, looking like nothing could faze him.However, his gaze was sharp.

Darius looked at him, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The skinny official looked slightly below 5’5" when standing with the burly men, but now that he was closer to Darius, it turned out they were almost the same height.

Darius glanced at Miguel, whom he was still holding by the neck.

His feet were still dangling about an inch from the ground, so Darius flung him aside. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Miguel was sent flying.

Judging from the time it had taken for him to land on the ground, he’d probably been thrown about a hundred feet away! This made Miguel’s eyes widen.

Pain shot through his body as he staggered to his feet, and when he stumbled over to Darius, he said, "You’re truly powerful."

Darius didn’t think his sudden friendliness was something he liked. N no vel ebook He frowned and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

Miguel's smile faltered, then he scratched his head and shook it.

"No, I don’t.I’m just surprised.I never expected you to be able to catch me, let alone send me flying.In the past, if anyone were to send me flying like that, I’d be able to land on my feet, but I didn’t manage

to do so this time despite flying a hundred feet away.You’re the first person to make me land on my back."

Darius couldn’t bring himself to trust a guy who'd attacked him upon their first meeting.

Obviously, Miguel sensed this and said, "Hey, why don't you trust me?"

Darius said, "I do.I already told you that, didn’t I?"

Miguel didn’t believe him, but he said, "Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Then, he heard Darius say, "If I were you, I wouldn’t be sitting here.You’d be better off getting yourself checked rather than trying to convince me of anything.Do you think want to sit here and waste time like this?"

Miguel wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, so he said bluntly, "No, it’s okay.I know my body, and I know I’m perfectly fine.Also, I’m curious to know how you became as powerful as you are now."

Darius didn’t say anything because he didn’t know the answer either.He crossed his arms and leaned against the door, the atmosphere cooling around him.

When everyone started to shudder, he raised an eyebrow, knowing that he’d achieved his goal.

Now, he only had three problems to take care of.He took a step forward and looked at Paula, who’d shown up with the rest of the gang.

"Any problems here?"

Paula felt lost.

She’d run into these officials at the airport, so she hadn’t had time to ask them what was happening.She turned to look at them, questioning them with her eyes.
