The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307

Austin’s brows crinkled closer.His head shot upward as his eyes pierced through Kate, hoping to catch her off guard and see what she thought.

Everything went as he predicted, but sadly, he did not see what he wanted in her eyes; there was a whirlwind of fear, anger, dissatisfaction, hurt, and many more emotions.

The one feeling absent in her gaze was a raging desire for him to die.

Before looking at her, he assumed she only felt hatred at that instant.

If he had to dig deeper, he would have guessed there was a Sadistic joy in her eyes, eager to see him die.

Yet, reality turned out different from what he had expected.

Every part of his body tensed while a frosty aura radiated from him.

It contrasted with Kate’s warm and inviting presence, something he refused to welcome with open arms.

Kate lowered her head, simultaneously shivering as though the air was cold.

It took her a while to discern what the boy’s pointed stare meant; eventually, she realized he was angry.

Still, she assumed his reaction was merely a fearful response toward his inevitable death for crossing Darius.

Pursing her lips, Kate pondered her next move for some time, then turned to face Darius with a set of doe eyes.

Her voice sounded small as she pleaded, "Darius, I know you’re a good person.Austin may have made many mistakes, but he’s just a boy who didn’t have a role model or anyone to guide him on the right path while growing up! But now, I’m willing to fill in that role for him.Please, can you give him a chance to live for my sake?"

Warm tears filled up her eyes with every growing moment.

Although, it was never her intention to appear desperate.

Nevertheless, her body could not help reacting that way from the overwhelming pity she felt for the boy.

Even her voice trembled as she spoke those words.

Meanwhile, Austin felt a burst of energy in his body, allowing him to push himself off the ground.

He temporarily ignored the intense pain in his chest, something he could not do before.

No one paid much mind to that, though, as they were busy gawking at him.

Because logically speaking, a person on his deathbed should not be attracting their murderer's attention—yet, Austin did so.He bared his teeth at Darius but surprised the latter with what he said next.

"I’m sorry for everything I did to you, Kate.But, since Darius is about to kill me, I might not have the chance to apologize or ask for your forgiveness.Nevertheless, I don’t want you to beg him for mercy on my behalf anymore.He’s an evil man."

Darius shrugged, feeling Austin was unreasonable.

Not wanting to waste another second, he narrated his actions while doing them.

"Watch closely, kid.One has to load their gun, then take the safety off."

A crisp click rang out, indicating the gun’s safety lock had gotten deactivated and was ready for firing.

Kate could not help but yell at Darius.

Even so, she maintained a pleasing tone instead of aggressively screaming.

At the same time, Kate had already rushed up to Darius’ side, her trembling hands gripping his collar.
