The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

The young man looked at Dar

ung man looked at Darius for a brief second before bursting out into laughter. Darius stood still and watched the man laugh for a few seconds. When the man was done laughing, he wiped a fake tear from the corner of his eye before speaking.

“What? You want to pay for the shoes?” The young man asked.

Darius remained silent and only stared at the young man, showing how dead serious he was.

“You can‘t be serious. How do you even want to pay for the shoes when you can‘t even afford a decent pair of shoes?” The young man asked in a mocking tone.

Everyone immediately moved their eyes to Darius‘ shoes. When they saw the worn out shoes he was wearing, another round of whispering and gossip broke out. “He‘s asking the price for the limited edition collection shoes while he can‘t even afford a nice pair of shoes?” “I can‘t believe my eyes. What sort of vanity is that?” “He must be probably trying to impress the lady. After all look at his outfit, plain ordinary.”

The lady who stepped on the young man‘s shoes felt her heart leap to her throat. She didn‘t pay attention her defender‘s outfit, but when she did the tiniest bit of hope she had about him being able to pay for the shoes flew out the window.

Although his outfit was very neat and presentable, he didn‘t look like someone who could afford to pay for the shoes, especially not after she took a look at his worn out shoes.

The young man smirked before speaking. “Sure. I‘ll tell you. This pair of shoes cost 1 million dollars.” The young man replied in a haughty tone. Everyone sucked in a deep breath when they heard the price for the shoes..

1 million dollars?

That was absolutely ludicrous!

There was no way that a pair of shoes would cost 1 million dollars. It was completely unbelievable!

The lady felt tears welling up in her eyes. Now she had really done it this time. She had never seen that amount of money before in her life, so how would she be able to pay it? Even the young man who was standing up for her would not be able to pay such a huge sum for the shoes.

The young man smirked as he watched Darius face closely for any change in his expression. Once again he had made up a lie regarding the price of the shoes. He had made up another falsehood about the price of the shoes. They didn‘t cost more than $10,000, but he had increased the price by a factor of 100 to entice Darius to go. He assumed that even if Darius had any cash on him, he would not pay such an outrageous price for a pair of shoes. He didn‘t care

about getting paid for the shoes in the first place. He merely desired to put Darius in his proper place Darius smirked as he looked at the young man. He wasn‘t a fool. He knew that the other party was underestimating him and didn‘t believe that he could actually pay 1 million dollars for the shoes, so he was going to use that to his advantage

“Sure. I‘ll pay the money to you. You must, however, pledge to apologize to the lady appropriately until she accepts the apology. Deal?” Darius stated, his eyes glimmering with mischief. He was trying to persuade the young man to accept the deal.

The young smirked before replying to Darius
