The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 I Can’t

##Darius heard some noise on the other end of the line, then his grandfather’s resolute voice rang out.

"Tell me everything you know."

He knew there was nothing to hide about this, so he told James everything he and Borisin had seen and experienced.

James sounded even grimmer after listening to him.

"So, you mean to say that neither of you came into contact with anyone? No one injected anything into either of your bodies or force-fed you anything? Yet this still happened?"

Darius rubbed his temple.

"Yes, Grandpa. I’ve tried my best to recall every detail, but I haven’t come across anything that seems out of the ordinary."

"Alright."

James hung up.

Darius put his phone down and looked at Edward.

"That drug you researched—how is it administered?"

Edward met his gaze.

"There are plenty of ways. One can drink, touch, or even breathe it in."

"When do the memory lapses start?"

"The moment the drug kicks in.And that was the reason why it wasn’t thrown into production—there was no way to control the time it took to act up.Some saw the effects earlier than others, but there were some lab rats that only showed effects three to five months later."

Darius took a deep breath and nodded.

"How long will it take to verify whether it’s from that lab?"

"Another eight hours, sir."

Darius nodded again and leaned back while crossing his legs at the knee.

"Well, since we don’t have any updates on that matter, we can look into something else."

"Something else? Is it..."

Edward shook his head after some thought.

"Sir, I can’t think of anything else."

Darius looked at him with a faint smile.

"You don’t need to play down your talents when you’re with me.In fact, I want all the people around me to be worth ten of someone else."

Edward lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Darius sighed and continued, "Borisin took us away, didn't he? What happened to Wilson Gillette?"
