The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 239

All she remembered was that she’d walked into a room.

Before she could even see what was in there, someone threw her a protective suit and shoved her out.She took in a deep breath and looked at one of the men she’d come here with.

"Sorry, but I’m here for an interview."

The man nodded and gave her an encouraging look.

"Good luck, then."

Afterward, he gestured at the bodies with his jaw and walked away.

Darius was now standing in the middle of the hall, and he was repelled by the bodies.

This wasn’t something that was supposed to happen.

The skinny official, Borisin Martinez, narrowed his eyes, noticing Darius’ odd behavior.He frowned, took a step back, and pulled out a walkie-talkie. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"How Many more are there?"

The voice on the other end of the line said respectfully, "Sir, those are all the bodies we found.There are seventy-two of them in total."

Borisin nodded.

"Where are the people who came with Darius?"

The person on the line probably didn’t expect him to ask this question.

After a short pause, he said, "I think they’re resting somewhere, but I’m not too sure."

Borisin narrowed his eyes, subconsciously wanting to reprimand the guy.

In the end, though, he didn’t say anything, merely letting out a sigh after a long silence.He turned to Miguel and said, "Go and keep an eye on Darius.I get the feeling he’s a dangerous one."

At this moment, in the lounge, Erin stood up with a frown.

She looked at the other people present and said, "I have a bad feeling about this.I know that you three are powerful, so please track Mr.Reid down and take him somewhere safe.There’s no need to concern yourselves with our safety."

Pearl’s eyes were red.She nodded vigorously at Erin’s words.

"Yes, she’s right."

Bridget got to her feet.She was frowning, but she tried to stay calm as she comforted the other people.

"Calm down.Things may Not be as bad as we think."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Everyone turned to look at it.

When Miguel walked in, he was greeted by their looks of disgust.

He stopped and rubbed his nose.

"It looks like I’m not really welcome here."

Erin let out a sigh of relief when she saw him like this, then put on a smile.

"Hi there.May we know when Mr.Reid will be released?"

Miguel frowned at her question.

"He was released a while ago."

In that instant, everyone in the room shot to their feet.

After leaving Shelvin behind to protect the women, Bridget and Edward left the room with Miguel.

At the same time, Darius returned to his original spot.

Borisin raised an eyebrow when he heard his footsteps, then turned to Darius and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back."

Darius ignored him and walked toward the bodies in the middle of the hall.

Borisin didn’t know what to say.

Based on what he’d seen so far, Darius was much too obnoxious for words, and he didn’t like it.

At the same time, he knew that there was a high chance he was just like Darius.

His lips twitched subconsciously at this thought.

He watched Darius to see what exactly was going on.

A storm was brewing in Darius’ eyes.

"I’ve lost all memory of everything that’s happened since I got into the car.Before I knew it, I was brought here.What do you think happened between then and now?"

Borisin’s eyes widened at his words.He shot to his feet and jumped over the railing before stalking toward Darius.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I drugged you and had you brought here to push all the blame on you? Darius raised an eyebrow.

"Isn’t that what happened? Don’t tell me this didn't occur to you at all." novelebook Borisin fell silent.

"If I told you I had nothing to do with this, would you believe me?"

He didn’t harbor any hope as he said this.

When Darius stepped into this room, acting so oddly, he realized that this whole thing was just a plot against him.

The mastermind behind this wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and he’d successfully pulled it off.

Something had happened to Darius, which Borisin hadn’t expected.

Unfortunately for the mastermind, Darius had woken up on his own.

Then again, no one would believe him, especially since Darius had no idea who he was, and he wasn’t anyone important.

There was no way Darius would’ve heard of him before.

Sometimes, however, things just worked out well.

Darius nodded and said, "I believe you, of course.Otherwise, I wouldn’t have returned here.Either that or I would’ve held a knife to your neck."

No one dared to say anything after this.

Logically speaking, Borisin should’ve thanked Darius with a smile for understanding, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it because of the knife Darius was holding against his neck! When he saw his two guards looking at him in agitation, Borisin held a hand up to stop them.

"Relax, you two."

He carefully held the blade between his fingers, pulled it away from his neck, and then sighed in relief.He frowned at Darius, "Have you discovered something?"

Darius took a step back while rolling his shoulders.

"It suddenly occurred to me that you brought me here because you claimed that you’d found the old lady’s body.After looking around, I didn’t see her, so I decided to return just to confirm it.After all, this has to do with someone’s life!"

Borisin looked at him.

"Didn't you already figure this out in the car?"

Now, Darius had an answer.He got into the car again.
