The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

By the time Darius realized they'd been circled, the men had already gotten out of the cars, and Hank was in the lead. He had to be held up by people on both sides to stand. There was dried blood on his face, and his eyes were red with fury.

This was Erin's second time encountering something like this, and she wasn’t as nervous as the first time. Her breathing sped up, but she quickly calmed down. She turned to look at Darius. "Mr. Reid, what should we do now?"

Darius pressed his fingers to his temple. Hank was the stupidest guy he'd ever met and was a waste of space. So, when he put down his hand and opened his eyes, all one could see was his frosty gaze.

Erin knew the frostiness wasn't directed at her, but she still shuddered. When Darius spoke, it made her tremble even more. He paused and looked at her but quickly averted his gaze. "You only need to do two things right now. Firstly, inform the university that I'll be gone for a month. Secondly, get me a ticket to Almiron City."

Erin started to frown when he said he would be away for a month. She didn't think it was wise, but she had no right to object. She nodded and pulled her phone out.

The people outside the car saw her actions and thought she was calling for backup. They couldn't just stand by and watch that happen, so they reached out to open the car door. Unfortunately, they failed. Erin let out a yelp at their actions and dropped her phone.

Darius could see how nervous she was, so he stretched and opened the door. At the same time, he said, "Don't worry. They won't be able to open the doors or come in here. Even if they manage to do that, they won't be able to harm you." After that, he got out of the car without letting her say anything.

She took a deep breath and bent down to pick her phone up when she heard the door shut. She started making the calls.

Darius stretched his neck and arms outside the car before he looked at Hank. He said disdainfully, “This is the second time something like this has happened to me in recent times. I didn't bother keeping things under wraps, so you should've already found out what happened."

Hank widened his eyes. "What are you talking about?”
