The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Darius and Janet naturally had no idea that Jonathan was planning his revenge at that moment, and chatted lightly as they walked.

They could not be bothered about what seemed to be a trivial quarrel, and an equally trivial person.

Janet could see that Darius was no longer interested in continuing the conversation with her, so she decisively decided to leave him alone, but not before exchanging phonecontacts with him.

Darius was a bit reluctant to exchange phone contacts with her at first, but after seeing how she made the so calledLong family bend with just a phone call, he decided to accept her contact details.

He could see that from the brief phone call she made, she proved how formidable her background was.

There was no harm in knowing someone with such a strong background.

Darius then accompanied her to the hotel's exit and waved her off sincerely before making his way backto the hotel.

Even though her appearance was a bit unexpected, he couldn't deny that it was a pleasant evening.

He made his way to the presidential suite he paid more than $100,000 for. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Although he was reluctant to spend the night in the Sky Golden Hotel, he didn’t have much of a choice after his residencein Dragon Estate was closed off.

After taking a shower and changing into a comfortable night robe, he lay down on the king sized bedand slept off.

The next day, Darius woke up late in the morning.

It was already 10 am the time he woke up, but although he woke up late, he felt very refreshed and invigorated.

His body felt very light, and there was a bubbling explosive energy in his body.

Darius was now an awakened martial artist, so basically he should not be tired even after all his activities, asmartial artists were significantly stronger than ordinary humans; but the golden liquid Darius' grandfather fed him was very potent, so unknown to Darius, he was unable to fully integrate the liquid into his body, which was why only the self healing trait was developed, and why he felt so tired yesterday.

Fortunately, he was finally able to integrate 10% of the liquid into his body after a long time, hence the explosiveenergy he felt when he woke up.

There were special sets of routines that should be practiced to integrate the golden liquid into his body,but as Darius did not have it, it was understandable why he had only managed to integrate 10% of the golden liquid since he ingested it.

Darius didn't know why he had so much explosive energy within him, but he knew that he would not be able to get much done withoutgetting rid of it or toning it down, so without hesitating further, he started his morning routine.

This time around, even after performing his routine like he usually did, he was unable to tone down the explosive energy within him.

It wasn't until he repeated the same routines three times with two times the original intensity did the explosive energy finallycalm down.

Such an intense morning routine was supposed to wear him out, but contrary to that, he even felt more refreshed than he was when he woke up.

He then took a long and relaxing shower, before changing into his usual casual clothing.

He rang the bell in the room and ordered for breakfast while he dressed up, as hewas incredibly famished after his intense work out.

He just finished dressing up when the door bell rang.

Of course, it was the waitress who had arrived with his breakfast.

He quickly collected his meal from her and closed the door, ignoring the smitten look in hereyes, before gobbling down his meal.

He was halfway with his meal when his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and a surprised expression flitted across his face.

This was because the caller was none other than Janet Fox.

Darius was naturally surprised to see that it was Janet who was calling him; after all it was just yesterday that he mether for the first time.

It was too unexpected for her to call him out of the blue.

Nonetheless, he only hesitated for a few seconds before answering the phone call.

“Hello Darius!” Janet greeted playfully once the phone call connected.

“Hello Janet.” Darius replied politely in an even tone.

Janet noticed that even though his tone was polite, there was still some level of restraint to it; thereforeshe decided to skip the pleasantries and go straight to the point.

"I received an invitation to an auction at Vane city by a close friend of mine, and I have the option to bring someone withme; therefore I'm wondering if you're interested on going to the auction with me." Janet said.

“An auction?” Darius asked, surprised.

Darius arched his eyebrow at Janet’s statement.

While Janet might make the auction seem like a normal auction, Darius knew that it wouldbe far from that.

Considering the fact that Janet was from a very impressive background, it was evident that someone of her statuswould not be invited to an auction that was not befitting of her status.

He was curious as to why she wanted him to attend it with her.

Nonetheless, Darius had no need to go to an auction, even if the person inviting him was Janet,so he was about to reject her invitation, but her next words stopped him short.

“Yes.

It's a pretty high class auction; so many interesting items would be put up for sale.

I also heard that a courtyard villa relatively close to Kingston district is being auctioned too.

I'm sure that you'll be interested in some of the items being auctioned.” Janet answered.

Darius hesitated after hearing Janet’s answer.

Indeed, he was in need of a new accommodation, especially now that his residence at Dragon Estate was cordonedoff by the police force.

Even though the presidential suite at Sky Golden Hotel was very impressive, it was still a hotel suite.

The appeal it held compared to a courtyard villa was completely different.

Coincidentally, a courtyard villa was put up for sale at the auction house, so it could only be described as a great opportunity for him.

There was no longer any need for him to reject Janet’s invitation.

On the contrary, he was now thankful to her.

“When is the auction?” Darius asked in a softer tone.

A triumphant smile broke out on Janet's face when she heard his soft tone.

She knew she had convinced him to attend the auction with her.

“The auction is by 8pm.” Janet replied.

“Okay.

I'll be there.” Darius promised and then disconnected the phone call.

Janet looked at her phone screen after the phone call ended for some seconds, before letting out a mesmerizing laugh.

As she laughed, her eyes twinkled, complimenting her already gorgeous facial features.

It was a beautiful sight.

She initially didn't want to go to the auction and had considered declining the invitation, butafter Darius agreed to accompany her, the situation unexpectedly turned around and she now found herself looking

forward to the event.
