The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 139 Beads of sweat drooped down Darius’ face when faced with the menacing pistol in Michael’s hand. The safety of the pistol was off, and the moment Michael pulled the trigger, a bullet would be embedded in Darius’ heart.

Darius felt genuine fear when faced with the gun trained on his heart. He wasn’t a fool, so he knew that with the amount of training he had now, there was no absolutely no way he could dodge a bullet. The instant Michael shot him, Darius would be a goner.

The moment I shoot you, I would no longer be able to save myself. Even then, I still have to kill you.” Michael stated firmly; and with that statement, he pulled the trigger on
