The Consortium's Heir Chapter 549
Held captive by the dark figure’s enlarged hand, Darius tried to move his arms but realized there was not enough room to move, so his arms stuck close to his body. Sighing deeply, he summoned his gaseous, warm, buzzing life force and sank it deep into his pores. He figured that, since the black gases and his golden gases affected one another earlier, he could apply that theory to his current situation. It seemed like a terrific opportunity to weaken his opponent.He narrowed his eyes at the man behind the black fog, wondering how the latter did not even budge despite his many attacks earlier. Everything seemed abnormal to Darius, who felt the only reason the dark figure could stay unharmed was that he had not found the dark figure’s Achilles heel. “But what would the Achilles heel of a man strong enough to hold me captive be?” Darius wondered, but it was to no avail as the dark figure had grown impatient.The figure tightened his grip around Darius again, letting out a monstrous but

However, Darius could vaguely sense movement from the figure hiding behind the black fog. The latter appeared to struggle, which meant things were looking up for Darius, who could finally fight the man on a level playing field. “Here’s your last chance to fight me fairly. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”“No one can have my life.” The man finally spoke, but his voice still sounded like a series of grumbles. “As a child, I was ordered to kill a hundred thousand people. Only then could I end mine. However, I’m content with my current life and don’t feel the need to end my life yet.” A scowl crept up his face as he stared at Darius and added, “I will say this—you’re the chattiest person I’ve ever met.”That was when his black gaseous life force began to fluctuate rapidly. Watching from afar, Darius noticed little ripples forming in the air and gradually returning to the black fog surrounding the man. He narrowed his eyes as he knew the battle was about to start. He extended his arms, loosen

Even the black gas that fought against the golden net’s ensnarement froze. That gave the golden net a chance to attack. Hence, the net quickly and securely wrapped around the black gas. Likewise, the two domes that battled one another from the beginning finally stopped. The black dome gradually shrunk to barely the size of Darius’ nails, which meant Darius was victorious. Turning to look at the man, Darius continued, “But I’m unwilling to do so because I value all relationships in my life.”His gaze bore into the man. He was unwilling to blink, focusing all his attention on the man behind the black fog. Despite his calm demeanor, Darius placed both hands behind his back and balled his fists, concealing how emotionally turmoiled he felt at that instant. As he said those words, the black fog around the man began to dissipate.That went on until the man’s face became clear. It was as Darius pictured earlier—the face from his memories. The only difference was, now, the man’s eyes were

Darius’ eyes widened. Even his bones trembled deep beneath his skin due to the rage brewing in his chest. Despite that, he did not do anything and merely smiled at Shelvin.Even so, Shelvin could tell the former was pretending. He curled one side of his lips upward, sneering, “You keep pretending like you’re keen on working with me, but deep down, all you want is to hit the pause button on our battle today—”His voice remained monotonous the entire time.“From what I recall, I’ve always viewed you as somewhat of a decent human. Granted, you can be arrogant and lack the potential for much character development, but I can understand why.Shelvin nodded understandingly, but it only left a bitter taste in Darius’ mouth. Although Darius frowned, Shelvin ignored the former and resumed his speech.“That’s normal. You used to be very poor, after all.” He shot a sympathetic look at Darius but then smirked while shrugging. “So, even after you inherited your newfound wealth and martial arts skil

That was because Darius sensed a familiar aura within Shelvin’s eyes as soon as the latter looked at him. However, that only lasted a brief moment. Still, Darius could not suppress the joy in his heart upon realizing Shelvin’s presence.Contrarily, Shelvin’s face darkened. He hoarsely voiced while releasing another plume of black gas, “Don’t get all happy now, brat.” Despite his eyes narrowing to slits, Darius maintained a neutral expression while facing the storm that suddenly formed in the room. The black gas had somehow caused the air to spin faster by the second, sweeping the furniture along with it.Darius’ already torn clothes began to flutter in the air. It got to the point where it could not cover his body anymore. Yet, the two still stood opposite each other without paying it much mind. As they stared at each other more intensely, more and more things got swept into the center of the storm. The atmospheric pressure kept growing until one of the desk lamps broke the window a

“It must’ve taken her a lot of willpower not to kill you and your subordinate. Make sure to thank her later on,” Edward added. He then approached Bridget’s side to say, “Wait here. I’m going to help Mr. Reid.”He was about to head upstairs when someone grabbed his sleeve, stopping him. He turned while frowning as he could sense someone’s jealous stare focusing on him. Once he faced Bridget again, he raised a brow as though questioning her unprofessional reaction.That made Bridget raise her brows before returning to her usual stoic expression. She then parted her lips to speak in a subdued voice. “You wait here. Your combat skills aren’t as good as mine, so I should go and help Mr. Reid.” She then looked behind where Pierce was, and her eyes widened for a moment. Once she saw Pierce trembling in fear, her gaze returned to its usual emotionlessness. However, she raised her voice to say, “As long as we block off those strong winds, you’ll be able to protect those scheming, worthless,

Bridget’s features scrunched in confusion when she heard what Darius said. Yet, Darius shook his head and did not explain himself.The man, supposedly Shelvin, stood opposite the two this entire time. At that moment, his lips curled as he sneered, “I can’t believe you’d be this despicable.”That instantly caught Darius’ attention.Having had an ego boost, the man continued, “Did Shelvin ever see this side of you? He doesn’t seem to have any negative impressions of you—well, none I can access, at least.”A death glare came from Darius when Shelvin’s name got mentioned by the man behind the black fog, who now had control over Shelvin’s body.Yet, this so-called version of Shelvin did not seem to mind Darius’ glares; the man’s smile deepened as he added, “I never thought you’d be this way, Darius.”Bridget was initially pursing her lips in discomfort. However, she soon lost all calm and burst out, “That’s enough! Speak for yourself, creep! Look at how happy you get when you see others in

Darius murmured the name to himself before looking up at the man again. “You’re foreign?”Yarlyn blanked for a second before nodding. Flashing a bitter smile while reddening his eyes, he explained, “I’ve been trapped here for so long that I can’t recall many things anymore.”“Trapped?” Darius quirked a brow. Yarlyn nodded, his features tensed even more as he turned to the side and waved, calling off all the fog around his body.A frown marred Darius’ face in that instant.It turned out that there was a hidden room behind Yarlyn this entire time. Darius could see the brightly lit and fully furnished room where Yarlyn had likely been residing now that the fog had lifted. That instantly made Darius’ brows narrow into a deep V-shape. Nothing seemed odd about Yarlyn’s explanation, but he could tell the furniture was from a different era, and there were signs of wear and tear from the long-term use. Although Darius did not seem overly bothered, he was already in utter shock after specula
