The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

Hank was already starting to regret it, but no one was left to protect him except for two bodyguards. So, he grabbed them by the wrists and pushed them forward. 'You two, beat him up! You're only allowed to stop when he's on the ground, or I'll hold you two responsible for this! And if you don't buy me enough time to escape, I'll..."

He didn't get to finish his sentence and stood there, mouth agape and eyes wide. Darius had suddenly appeared before him, and he was terrified. As far as he knew, no normal human could move at such a speed. Now, however, he was proven wrong. A scene he'd never even imagined had happened before his very eyes. This was beyond his understanding, and he was fearful.

He turned to look at Darius, lips trembling. He stammered out, "W-what are you doing?” Obviously, he was terrified, but Darius didn't intend to let him off the hook.

The two bodyguards were dumbstruck. Darius was like a gust of wind. He'd disappeared before their very eyes and reappeared behind them. They felt like they were dreaming, but the screams that Hank was letting out were definitely real.

They returned to their senses and whipped around to see a repeat of what had happened at the hospital-Darius had wrapped a hand around Hank's neck, and Hank was starting to suffocate again. He couldn't take it and flailed around, shouting, “Darius, you're a martial artist!"

Darius didn't expect him to know about this. He frowned and said, “I was going to let you go so that you could make it back to Almiron City alive, but it looks like that's not a part of your plan."

Hank's brain was already fogging up because of the lack of oxygen, and after Darius spoke, he could feel his oxygen supply depleting faster than before. And this time, the pain coming from his neck was more intense. He opened his eyes to glare daggers at Darius, but he was so scared that he started to cry instead.

Darius couldn't stand his tears and started to frown. He was about to reprimand Hank when he felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. It made him lose his balance, and he knew it wasn't a normal gust of wind. It had come from another martial artist.

However, he still didn’t let go of Hank. On the contrary, he kept a hand around his neck and turned around as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, his plan failed. The gust of wind didn't land on Hank. Instead, it billowed past them and slammed onto the ground, turning the tar into pebbles.
