The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202

‘That's impossible!” the manager boomed, unintentionally attracting people's attention.

Flustered, he cleared his throat and waited for the right moment to explain, “Our airport's security members are professionals. Every aircraft has a dedicated safety inspector, so our planes will never falter. I bet you're someone with ulterior motives. You must have gotten hired by our competitors to spread fake news!"

Darius glanced at the man from the control room and said, "I believe you guys can confirm whether I'm telling the truth or not. I've already wasted plenty of time in this airport, which is a tremendous loss on my part. So, I hope we can resolve this soon."

The man nodded. Although the two came to an agreement, they did not consider the manager's feelings.

That caused the manager’s eyes to widen with rage, and he thundered, ” You guys are being unreasonable! Our airport has nothing to do with the matter!”

He then scanned Darius from top to bottom before flashing a disdainful look.

“Look at you. Your clothes don't look like they’re worth much. Plus, I've never seen you before! I've checked your ticket purchase records, and it seems you’ve never even bought a flight ticket from us before today. You should know that our company is the best among all other airline companies. That's why our prices are much higher than theirs. Therefore, it proves that you have never bought a ticket from us before. Yet, you and your group suddenly bought expensive tickets from us today. I bet you got paid by our rival companies and are trying to defame us."

The man from control room stood aside without speaking, but his eyes were on Darius, scrutinizing him.

Darius felt his gaze shift upon hearing the manager's words. He scoffed before responding, "It seems your eyesight isn’t that good, despite you being an airline company’s manager."

While saying that, he crossed one leg over the other, adding, "If you had good vision, you would know the clothes I'm wearing, excluding any accessories, are worth more than your yearly salary."

The manager fell silent. He had to admit what Darius said was true.

Even so, something clicked in his mind after a few seconds. He placed his hands on his waist again and spoke louder than before.

‘That's because the company you're working for provided clothes for you! Since they gave you money to purchase expensive tickets, they obviously had to get you a luxury outfit to match!"

Darius’ laughter grew when he heard that. "If that's the case, then the clothes they gave me, including all the accessories on my body, are worth far more than what they're paying me to defame you. I can easily leave with all these luxury items and not do the task."

Erin stood behind Darius throughout the exchange, perplexity flickering in her eyes.
