The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 235

He reached an arm out and quickly grabbed a gun from the guy standing next to him before he cocked it.

Then, he aimed it at Darius and forced out through gritted teeth, "I'll show you there's no human more powerful than a gun!"

However, in the next second, he felt the gun leave his hand.

He remained rooted to the spot and slowly looked up to see the gun in Darius' hand-it was the one he'd been holding earlier. He was about to make his move when a woman's crisp voice rang out.

Darius found this voice to be a little familiar, but he couldn't place it.

He didn't move; part of him was distracted by the woman's voice.

However, most of his attention was still focused on Wilson.

When Wilson heard the woman's voice, he looked at Darius and said mockingly, "My, look at that. She was my future daughter-in-law, but she's so desperate to be with you now! And at the price of my son's life!"

He gnashed his teeth as if he was biting down on Darius' flesh.

Unfortunately for him, Darius didn't take his words to heart. He slowly lowered the gun.

Standing next to him, Erin saw his eyes looking toward the hotel's entrance. She couldn't help saying, "Mr. Reid, now isn't the time to be distracted."

Darius didn't even look at her. He merely turned his back to the wall and headed toward the entrance, saying, "Don't worry. They won't have the guts to make a move now.Anyway, this is just a game. Even if they had the nerve to do anything, their skills aren't up to scratch."

Erin knew he was right, but she didn't want him to head out to see that woman.

Of course, she was also worried that he'd be in danger when walking past Wilson's men.

With all these thoughts in her mind, she opened her mouth to speak, but Darius was already gone.

When Wilson saw her crestfallen look, a sudden bout of sympathy rose in him. He sighed and walked over to her, saying, "Look at you. You've stayed by his side for so long now, but he doesn't even appreciate you.If you work for me, I'll definitely treat you much better than he ever could. Also, I'll do everything I can to give you anything you want —all you have to do is say the word."

Erin resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She crossed her arms and put on a fake smile, saying, "If that's the case, I'd look bad if I were to ignore your request, wouldn't I?"

Wilson didn't realize he'd already fallen into her trap. He put his hands behind his back, looking like his usual stern, serious self.

However, the gleam in his eyes revealed his true thoughts.

Erin said, "I want your wife and kids to disappear off the face of this world! Then, I want you to marry me, announce it to the whole world, and make sure everyone gives us their blessing. That's the only way I'll know this marriage is a sign from above. Otherwise, I'd rather stay single forever."

Wilson's jaw dropped, then he said coldly, "I was just flattering you earlier. How dare you speak to me like that! I can end your life in a split second!"

As he spoke, he held up a hand and gestured at Erin's neck.

This didn't seem to bring about the effect that he wanted, and he frowned.

"There are only a few people who don't fear me, and the fact that you don't just makes me want to have you more." Erin scoffed.

"All that shows is that your people are just too useless for words. Either that or they're putting on a show for you.I may not have worked long for Mr.Reid, but I've learned how to tell whether a person's good or bad."

Wilson's expression turned murderous.

His eyes flashed, but he heard someone cock a gun behind him before he could do anything.

In that instant, he stiffened, put his hands up, and slowly turned around to look at the hotel's entrance.

Darius was back.

Next to him stood a woman who was even prettier than Erin-at least, her figure was better than Erin's. It was Pearl.

Wilson's jaw dropped, and he stared at Pearl greedily.

He walked toward them without hesitation, then looked at Darius with dissatisfaction before saying, "I think it's a waste for you to be working here. I'll find you something better."

The dissatisfaction in his gaze morphed into contempt, but to his dismay, Darius didn't even spare him a glance.

All he got was a mocking laugh.

"You'll find me something better? What right do you think you have to be saying that? Is it because of your wealth or because you think you're a big shot? Do you think you're influential enough to have someone aid and abet you?"

In truth, the moment Wilson spoke, he knew he'd said the wrong thing.

He didn't think he had any other choice, though.

At Darius' words, he subconsciously wanted to explain himself, but before he could do so, Darius sneered.

"Also, you made it sound like I'm your employee."

Wilson had never thought of that, and neither did he dare.

At this moment, Darius was like a savage wolf to him.

He didn't dare make any false moves, let alone step on Darius' tail. He took a deep breath, then put his hands behind his back and looked at Darius seriously.

"I made a mistake earlier, but I don't think you should be backing people into corners the way you're doing now. It's not going to benefit you in any way. You should know that there's a hefty price to pay for offending me."
