The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Darius looked down at his watch before calmly stating, "The banquet will start in four hours.We don’t have time to waste on this man anymore.According to what he said, the hotel's security must be on the way.We’ll let them decide who to trust when they get here."

Erin nodded, then clapped.

The staff waiting outside the hotel room holding trays soon entered the room.

They stood uniformly before Darius, slightly bowing so that Darius could see what was in their trays.

Bilgi was about to yell at them but clamped his lips shut once he saw the staff’s behavior.

He knew the staff’s treatment toward Darius was out of his reach, even with his current wealth.

That notion peaked when he saw what was on the staff's trays.

His jaw fell open, rendering him flabbergasted.

Meanwhile, Darius’ attention was on the trays.

Erin also focused on the trays, while only Bridget spared some of her focus on Bilgi.

"Mr.Reid, here are the clothes, a necktie, a belt, and other accessories you’ll need for tonight’s banquet,"

Erin stated while pointing at all the trays down the line in respective order.

When she arrived at the second last tray, she reached ahead and pulled out a fountain pen from the red velvety cloth.

"Mr.Reid, this is a fountain pen, and I'll keep it with me.I’ll be by your side at all times should you successfully negotiate a contract tonight."

Darius quirked a brow, asking, "Is it common in Almiron City to negotiate contracts at such banquets?"

"Yes, Mr.Reid."

Erin nodded with a smile.

"According to the information I have gathered, such contracts exist as many people, who are looking for investors, often bring contracts when attending banquets."

Darius nodded, leaned into the couch, then shifted his gaze onto the last tray without speaking.

With just one look at his countenance, Erin knew she should introduce the final item.

She approached the tray, maintaining her formal posture while explaining, "Mr.Reid, in this final tray is the car you’ll drive."

She lifted a car key from the tray, placed it into her palm, and presented it to Darius.

"It's a Bugatti, similar to your previous car.Unfortunately, because of time constraints, we couldn’t modify it according to your preferences."

Darius took the car keys from her, replying, "This car is enough.I believe that, here in Almiron City, apart from the Gillette family -"

He did not finish speaking as he suddenly detected a gust of wind charging from beside him.

As a result, his arm shot forward to grab Erin, leading her behind him.He then retracted his arm and placed them on his legs, sandwiching the car keys between his palms and his knee.

The spot where he swung his arm was where someone fell to the ground.

Subsequently, Darius placed his foot right above the person’s chest.He did not waste a second in interrogating, "Bilgi, I’d like to know what you’re trying to do now."
