The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 266

Wilson's eyes trembled so much that they were about to pop out of their sockets.

Facing off against Darius left him intensely frightened.His voice became hoarse as he asked, "W-What are you trying to accomplish? I never invited you to tonight’s banquet—"

"That's enough!" Darius interrupted loudly.

"I’ve been more than patient with you.I can investigate how that invite appeared in my room and who delivered it to me.What I never expected was someone would use such immature tricks against me.Then again, perhaps you thought that making me show up with a fake invite to this banquet would embarrass me. Is that it?"

Wilson’s eyes grew dim with fear.It shocked him to learn Darius did not care about getting humiliated.

Because of that, he never got to say the smug words he had prepared beforehand.

All he could do was quiver on the ground like frightened prey.

At that moment, Darius raised his chin while placing his foot on Wilson's shoulder.

"I sense another potent presence in this villa— it’s from an enlightened martial artist."

That made Wilson pale.He could not deny the statement as it was the truth.

Yet, at the same time, he could not reveal any more information to Darius; the martial artist Darius mentioned made sure Wilson was powerless from the start.
