The Consortium's Heir Chapter 558
“It had eyes on its arms and several long legs that stood sideways like a crab. Also, it had remarkably tiny hands. It was in a cage and had many wounds on its body. Even one of its legs could no longer stand properly. I caught a whiff of an overwhelming bloody scent that made me limp. Soon enough, the figures in black robes put me on the operating table—that was when I heard the most horrid instructions in my life.” Again, a black fog poured from Yarlyn, who became emotional at that memory.A sigh came from Darius, who placed his hand on the former’s shoulder. He released some of his warm life force at the same time. That instantly calmed Yarlyn down and made his black life force gasses vanish.Yarlyn slumped on the edge of his bed, gripping so tightly on the fabric around his knees that it ripped. Only then did he snap to his senses. Even so, he kept his eyes closed while saying, “The person holding me down said, ‘The boss says not to waste any anesthesia on him. Just seal his woun

“Later on, I suddenly met someone one night. He gave me a stamp with the symbol of the Moore Group’s wealth and power. It’s the one you took from Drake Moore. Then, the person told me all the martial artists in black robes belonged to me, and I was free to order them around on one condition—” Yarlyn’s gaze hardened without any warmth, his voice growing hoarse by the second. “I must train at least five hundred skilled and determined beings like myself every year.”Darius knew the former was holding back, but he did not have the heart to wonder why. Instead, the condition shocked Darius so much that his jaw was agape, and he murmured, “How many martial artists in black robes have you trained in the many years that passed since then?”Upon hearing that, Yarlyn thinned his lips into a long line across his face while staring frostily at Darius. It instantly made Darius’ eyes narrow to slits. His voice sounded grimmer while he shot some of his golden gaseous life force at Yarlyn. “Have you

Bridget heaved a sigh of relief, her features relaxing. She then turned to flash her widened eyes at Edward while smiling ever so slightly.Next to her, Edward sensed a killing intent vanish from inside the barrier. Following that, he felt Bridget staring at him, so he smiled in return. “You know, I haven’t seen you this happy since we started training together all those years ago.”“Duh,” Bridget’s smile deepened. “I’m smiling because I want to help complete Mr. Reid’s tasks, and I only wish for him to achieve his goals with little to no suffering.”With that, she turned the other way and ensured Pierce could not see them before flashing a frosty glare. “That rotten Pierce Bronson! How dare he give us false information!”Edward’s jaw fell agape upon hearing that. He assumed Bridget would say, “How dare he have such lewd thoughts about me!” Nevertheless, he was still shocked that Pierce had the nerve to lie to Darius. Edward’s mouth remained wide open for the longest time, and he took

Yarlyn sighed deeply with unbridled loathing burning in his eyes. After hesitating for the longest time, he said, “I need to know why you want it before giving it to you. After all, you’re still young. I know the extent of this magical core’s power, but that’s also why I can’t give it to you.”Immediately after saying that, he felt the power in his body vanish. At that point, he was unsure if he was still standing as every organ and body part felt disconnected from his conscience. His body soon fell to the ground. Then, he mustered whatever energy he had left to narrow his eyes at Darius, who held the magical core and stood aside as though nothing had happened.He frowned and shut his eyes, wanting to ignore what terrible things would come next.On the other hand, Darius did not pay the former much heed. His attention was fully on the magical core for an entirely different reason than the former believed. It was not because Darius had gotten bewitched. Instead, it was because he saw

Bridget turned to look at the barrier again. “Everyone’s life forces have different abilities,” she calmly explained, “I suggest you dig deeper into ways you can use your life force instead of copying other peoples’ abilities.”Edward’s eyes sparkled upon hearing that, and he exclaimed, “Oh! So that’s why you’re such a great martial artist!” Not a word more came from Bridget, as she did not want to confirm or deny that claim.“You genuinely are the best, most remarkable colleague I’ve ever had the pleasure of having!” Edward smiled broadly.Hearing that, Bridget turned to flash her pearly whites at Edward smugly. “Yes, you too. Not only that, but you’re also the most loyal subordinate among them all.”Edward’s smile immediately vanished when he saw her mocking grin. Likewise, he did not speak anymore and merely focused on the barrier, summoning his life force. However, he could not help but notice someone was glaring at him. Any martial artist would agree that it was unwise to igno

Pierce’s pupils constricted at Edward. His lips parted to cry out instinctively. However, his agonized scream only lasted a short second because he could no longer feel his throat.Edward watched as the former’s frightened eyes stiffened and turned dull. He then clapped his hands together, dusting them arrogantly. Edward eventually noticed Pierce was still in the same position. The latter was so stiff that his dead body slumped slightly. Raising a brow, Edward reached out to nudge the former. That was when Pierce’s body fell backward and crashed onto the ground. Pierce had not even made a sound. His eyes even remained wide open in fear.“There.” Edward wiped his hands before turning to look at Bridget. “Everything’s done and dusted. Let’s hope you stop flashing those awkward smiles again. They creep me out.”Bridget rolled her eyes and wanted to retort, but Edward interrupted her.“Something’s odd with the aura inside the barrier,” he said.Bridget immediately fell silent and shut he

Earlier, Darius was healing Yarlyn’s wounds with a golden sphere of life force. Yet, black and golden gasses suddenly appeared in Darius’ palm, indicating Darius could no longer control the life force in his body.Yarlyn was worried, but he was too weak to thank or save Darius because of the wound on his back. When he regained consciousness, all he knew was he had become a regular human being, but Darius was on the brink of death. “None of this should’ve happened!” he cried mentally. His chest aching like a thousand knives were stabbing him all at once. He could not stop the pain and wanted nothing more than to curl up and rip out his hair to distract the pain. Sadly, none of that would work; Darius’ life force kept seeping into Yarlyn’s body, healing it.In the end, the golden gas in Darius’ body lessened while the black gas grew. Yarlyn knew it was game over by then. He had tried mustering all his newly gained golden gas in hopes of taking the magic core from Darius, but he was a
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 565
When that thought appeared in Darius’ mind, he realized he could cultivate and refine the magic core’s black gas as the creature did with its enemies’ gasses. Once he absorbed most of the black gas, he gradually regained consciousness and could hear Bridget and Yarlyn’s conversation. That made his lips twitch; he had just refined all the black gas attacking his body, so he was undoubtedly too weak to absorb more gas from Yarlyn, who wanted to heal him with it now. There was no telling how long Darius would pass out should this happen. Plus, he had to consider that there was barely any gaseous life force left in Yarlyn. Frowning, Darius willed his body’s black gas to shield his body.…Yarlyn and Bridget finally arrived at a consensus. Annoyed, Bridget thundered at him, “Well? Why are you still standing around? Get to it!”A sigh came from Yarlyn, who then replied, “Jeez. Lady, you seem young, so why don’t you have any patience?“Quite your blabbering!” Bridget frowned. “If you don’t
