The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268

The cogs in the man’s brain spun at lightning speed, and he made his decision in under a second; he quickly stepped back when Darius ’ fist came close to his face.

Darius did not foresee that, so he did not pursue the former out of caution.

Once his fist fully reached out, the man was already far away.

"You truly are formidable," the man said while looking down at Darius and standing atop the Remnard Estate’s concrete fence.He then fled, vanishing into thin air.

Darius’ figure flickered just then.

He wanted to chase after the man I but was shocked that he could not detect the latter’s aura in the air.

The man did not leave any traces, so it was like he was never there.

Because of that, Darius halted on the spot, no longer charging ahead.

Another reason he did not move was that he felt the tornado dissipate once the man left.

Thus, it left Wilson’s body rapidly falling from almost 30 feet above the ground.

Darius did not know if Wilson had suffered any injuries after being held that high up, but all he needed was for the latter to remain alive.So, he launched himself into the air, where Wilson's body was approaching.

He reached his arms wide to catch Wilson before they landed together.

Darius’ feet soon met the ground, but before he could stand still, he had already tossed Wilson aside.

The friction between his body and the course dirt made Wilson open his eyes and look at Darius.

However, he did not speak and only shifted his gaze upward at the sky.

Darius detected a sullen hopelessness oozing from the former’s eyes.

He placed both hands in his pockets, lips curling upward.

"You look funny right now.Sadly, I don't have a mirror on hand.Otherwise, I’d show you how comical you look."

Only then did Wilson finally react.He turned to cast a bleak look at Darius while sternly stating, "You’ve won.Even if you decide not to act against me, my name will inevitably vanish from this city."

Wilson assumed others would not hold back their opinions when facing a person close to death.

Yet, little did he expect Darius to remain emotionless; not a change showed on Darius’ blank face.It was as though the latter did not care about Wilson’s death.

Knowing that caused Wilson’s eyes to narrow as he lay on the ground, unable to decipher Darius’ thoughts.

He eventually said, "I’m about to die, so you don’t have to hide anything from me because there’s nothing I can do to you now.Besides, you're a powerful being, so I can never defeat you even if I wasn’t injured like I am now—hell, I can’t do anything to you even at full health."

Darius picked at his ears while listening to the former.
