The Consortium's Heir Chapter 578
Darius stared emotionlessly at his phone. No one could have known what he was thinking, not even Alicia, who had eavesdropped on the call from the beginning.Moments of silence went by before Alicia gathered the courage to approach his side. She kept two steps away from him while speaking. “Sir, shouldn’t we go and save Kate? She hasn’t done anything wrong all this while, after all.”Although Darius turned to meet her gaze, it took a while before he sighed and responded, “Indeed, she’s innocent. However, the best person to deal with this isn’t us.”Darius spoke emotionlessly, just like how he looked at Alicia. It lacked warmth to the point where Alicia’s body instinctively quivered. She no longer dared meet his eyes at that moment.Sighing, Darius asked, “Are you aware what you’re doing now is the same as what Erin did before?”Alicia paled at once, her head shooting upward with determination at Darius. “Then, I’ll go to Kate alone.”Eyes sharpening like blades, Darius scrutinized Al

Alicia nodded grimly, which was a method she picked up from Darius; it seemed everyone would fear her when she displayed this expression. She then turned to leave without so much as another word. Erin froze on the spot for a long time. At some point, she snorted, feeling a mix of amused speechlessness and anger at the former’s actions. Regardless, Erin turned and strolled away immediately, her every step growing heavy. When she arrived at the second floor’s stairway and walked past Bridget’s room, she heard a voice say, “Erin? Is that you?”Screeching to a halt, Erin thinned her lips in guilt. She had forgotten one crucial thing; like Bridget, Darius was an enlightened martial artist. Hence, he could hear everything inside the hotel. “Yes, it’s me. Is something the matter?” Erin took lighter steps and spoke gentler than before while walking into Bridget’s room. “No.” Bridget shook her head. “I just heard your footsteps and the conversation between you and Alicia downstairs. I figu

Despite how impossible that was, Erin did it.Darius’ gaze hardened at Erin. He knew his carelessness had put Erin in her current injured state, and he blamed himself for it. Eyes narrowing with determination, he shot a bolt of life force forward. At that moment, Erin’s grey gaseous life force was already halfway out of her body but struggled with all its might to stay inside her.Darius had never seen such a situation before, so he looked down at his arm and called out, “S—.”Like clockwork, Teivel appeared before Darius could finish saying “sir.” He glanced at the gas with a smile. His figure then projected behind Darius to say, “It’s merely a plume of regular life force. The only reason it’s resisting your attacks is that its owner fused her blood into it.”Simultaneously, he waved his arm at the desk ahead, causing Darius’ cup on the desk to float into mid-air. The glass cup seemed to come alive as it emptied its contents onto the gas. Almost instantly, the grey gas no longer res

Shelvin’s gaze swept past Erin before settling on Darius as he said, “It’s just that I sensed an abnormality in the lady when she arrived earlier. Thus, I backtracked on all Yarlyn and my collective memories to compare—”Erin’s eyebrows gathered into a deep frown, but she refrained from commenting as she could tell Darius was solely focused on the conversation.Despite seeing the two’s different behaviors, Shelvin continued, “I found out those horrible people from the East—the rotten ones that attacked Yarlyn—had already been developing this drug many years ago.”Darius nodded. “Yeah, I’m aware.”Features warping into a complicated yet slightly pleased expression, Shelvin replied, “Yes, but what I wanted to tell you was those people have not succeeded.” “That’s possible,” Darius said and nodded after a long pause. He figured that although the group of horrid figures had tested the drugs on many people, no one understood their ultimate goal. As he pondered the situation, Shelvin abrup

Shelvin candidly revealed, “I found Yarlyn’s memory about a training ground with cruel practices. The Eastern countries’ forces have banned the group that started the training ground. The group wanted to achieve immortality, so they tried absorbing the lives of others to extend their own. All their immense efforts in developing the drug? That’s all for this sole but grotesque reason. They did many unethical and illegal things, but at some point, they got exposed. Many were furious at them, despite their many superior social standings and power. The group couldn’t fend against the righteous backlash, so their experiments failed. The group got given death sentences, but they were sly and sweet-talked the countries’ forces to spare them. In the end, they merely got deported. Because this happened long ago when people didn’t keep written records, the Eastern forces weren’t aware that other human beings existed on the other continents. Thus, the forces assumed deporting the group would ens

Darius leaned back against the couch while tapping his knuckle against the table. He was deep in thought, wondering if there was anything else he needed to deal with after returning to Ashweir City. Yet, that thought soon paused when Erin returned to the room with two figures behind her. Darius could tell from the two’s footsteps that the first was a calmly approaching male while the other was someone hesitant. Frowning, Darius shot to his feet at once.Like the former, Shelvin’s features immediately took on a frostiness as he looked toward the door and asked in a low voice, “What happened, sir?”Darius placed both hands in his pockets. He then strolled toward the door, his face turning murderously cold as he spoke. “During your absence, I gained a new subordinate named Donald. However, he did many vile things on behalf of the Brezinski family in the past. He got taken under police custody, but a policeman named Uriah once assured me no harm would come to him. However, judging by tho
The Consortium's Heir Chapter 584
Darius held his breath the moment he saw Donald’s state. Perhaps he was wrong from the start; he should have never let Uriah take Donald into a holding cell. Maybe that way, Donald would not have gotten hurt this badly. Drowning in absolute guilt, Darius hated himself for trusting Uriah and being useless against Uriah’s abuse toward Donald. All of that set off another bout of rage in Darius. Thus, when Uriah pointed at Erin disrespectfully, Darius did not hesitate to shoot a bolt of life force toward Uriah. Even so, he did not exert much life force as he did not want to grant Uriah such a swift death. Uriah was unsure of what had happened, but he felt a robust burst of wind slam into his body, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the impact sent his body flying a distance away. He could even feel the wind blowing against his skin so harshly that it cut every inch of his arms. The worst part was Uriah’s back collided with the wall, but he did not fall onto

Gaze trembling from utter fear, Uriah boomed, “You’d better think carefully before doing what you’re about to, Darius Reid! Think about whether you can bear the consequences!”Darius cocked a brow while flashing his pearly whites. “I’m not going to lie; your words amuse me.”He then extended his arm to grab Uriah’s collar, except this time, he yanked Uriah out of the dent in the wall and threw Uriah to the space behind him. Only hostility was visible in his gleaming eyes just then. It stayed that way until Uriah landed on the ground with a loud thump. The only difference was that Uriah had not cried in pain this time; Uriah remained silent long after he crashed against the course floor.Darius pivoted on his heel, his nose scrunching into a sneer at Uriah while he spoke casually. “Oh? I’m impressed. You’re still alive.”On the ground, Uriah tried his best to move his arms, wanting to adjust himself and meet Darius’ gaze. He was determined to face Darius without shame or defeat, regar
