The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Darius heart beat sped up even more when he heard the man’s declaration. At that point he knew that the man bore only hostile intentions towards him.

He wanted his life?

That put Darius in a dilemma. From the aura the man gave off, Darius knew that he was no match for him. However there was something that confused him.

“Why do you want to kill me?” Darius asked.

He had not done anything evil or bad to warrant someone to suddenly appear and try to take his life. He had always maintained a low profile since he became wealthy, so he was genuinely confused at this man’s appearance

“No hard feelings. I got a job to kill you. It’s as simple as that.” The man replied.

“Who sent you?” Darius asked again. He was very curious about that.

“That I cannot answer; as it is against my rule to rat out my employer.” The man started.” Besides, you don’t need to worry about that. You will not be leaving here alive anyway.”

As soon as the man completed that statement, he launched himself at Darius. The only thing Darius saw was a flash before a heavy blow landed on him.

The moment the blow landed on him, Darius seriously considered the possibility of him leaving this place alive. The blow was far from ordinary. He had been involved in several fights in the past before, and had surely received a lot of blows. However none of the blows he received could compare to the man’s own. The force of the hit sent him sprawling, and he rolled across the ground for a few seconds. He only came to a stop after forcefully hitting an iron pole.

Darius saw stars as he lay on the ground. That single hit had done a number on him, and he was sure that a bone or two of his were broken.

Darius tried to stand up, but his body wouldn’t cooperate. He had been practicing martial arts since he found out that he became wealthy, and was well versed in kick boxing. His powerful body and strong legs already gave him an edge when he started practicing the martial art.

He had trained everyday for the past one month without fail, and had made so much progress that he didn’t see himself suffering a defeat against anyone should he get involved in a fight; yet it seemed that it was all for naught as he was unable to perform even the simplest of routine to fight back against his assassin.

He forced himself to stand up from the ground, forcibly tearing one of his muscles. The pain was almost unbearable, but he gritted his teeth. No matter how hopeless it seemed, he could not allow himself to be beaten so badly without offering any resistance.

The two of them clashed again, but the result was the same. Darius was beaten pathetically by the assassin. The assassin offered him no reprieve of any kind. His blows were harsh, painful and bone chilling of course, the fight between the two generated a lot of noise, especially when Darius occasionally screamed out in pain.
