The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Darius turned to his grandfather with shock in his eyes.

His grandfather knew who the culprit was? “You know who the culprit is?” Darius asked.

“Yes.” Darius grandfather replied.

“How bold.” Darius grandfather sneered. “They dared to harm you; completely ignoring your identity as a member of the Reid family.” “Are they not afraid of the Reid family anymore?” Darius grandfather asked in a cold tone.

Darius looked at his grandfather and felt shivers run down his spine. The look his grandfather had on his face was the look of someone who had been in charge of a company that was on top of the food chain for over 40 years. Darius was still a student and was yet to graduate from his university, so it was completely normal that his aura paled to that of his grandfather who was a seasoned veteran.

However that didn’t stop Darius from asking his grandfather who the culprit was. He was incredibly curious to know who sent an assassin after him. He had not offended anyone recently and was always respectful to people. Why then would anyone send an assassin after him?

“Grandfather, could you tell me who the culprit is?” Darius asked.

“Yes. The triangular mark on the back of the palm of the assassin is a trademark tattoo of the bodyguards of the Erihal group. They perform their dirty deeds and are considerably stronger than average humans. I just didn’t expect them to lay their hands on a member of the Reid family.” James answered angrily.

He couldn’t believe the audacity of the Erihal group. Even after conceding several business projects for them, they ignored all his deeds and launched a deadly attack on his grandson. They must be seeking death!

Darius eyes widened in surprise when he heard his grandfather’s answer. He had not come in contact with anyone from the Erihal group apart from Luke Erihal, which he beat to a pulp after his attempt to rape Helen. Who would have thought he had such a vile character? Not only did he not feel any iota of remorse, he even had the heart to send a professional and trained assassin to take his life. How evil!

Darius was a hundred percent sure that Luke was the person behind the attack on him, as he had even threatened him when he rescued Helen. Darius felt extreme anger bubble up in his heart as he thought about it.

In the end he only had himself to blame. If only he was as strong as the assassin, then he wouldn’t have been injured so badly. When he recalled his fight with the assassin, brief anger’ welled up in his heart. He had practiced several martial arts including Kick boxing and

Taekwondo, but even that was not enough to help him defeat the assassin.

He was still lost in his thoughts when his grandfather’s words jolted him out of his reverie.

“I know what you are thinking.” His grandfather started. “Don’t worry too much about it for now.”
