The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 241

Darius heard someone roar outside, so he looked out and saw Lyon on the ground, covered in blood again.

This wasn't something he'd expected. He raised an eyebrow and met Lyon's hatred-filled gaze.He sighed.

Borisin looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

"I thought you'd take his life like you did that old lady's."

"Stop trying to frame me.

Her death has nothing to do with me."

Borisin narrowed his eyes.

"Don't you think that sounds weird?" Darius nodded, propping his head up with his arm on the window.

"It does."

He crossed his legs at the knees and tapped his fingers against the seat's armrest.

"There's really no need for you to test me because all you're going to get is another lie."

He wiggled his eyebrows and shut his eyes, not saying anything else.

Borisin frowned at his attitude. His reaction wasn't within Borisin's expectations, so he didn't know what to say.

Soon, the silence was broken.

When the fighting ended, Bridget ran over to them.

"Mr.Reid, I've already rounded everyone up. The hotel's safe for now."

This was what Darius wanted. He opened his eyes, nodded, and got off the vehicle, breathing in some fresh air.

Borisin's eyes narrowed again.

Darius seemed to be different from the things he'd heard.

Darius followed Bridget into the hotel but didn't hear anyone behind him after taking a few steps.

He turned around to see Borisin standing a distance away from him with his hands in his pockets, seemingly deep in thought. He took a deep breath and called out Borisin's name, saying, "i think you should come with me. Our short-term targets should be the same since we're from the same family."

Borisin didn't expect him to use the word "family" to describe their relationship.

He gulped and walked toward Darius, saying, "I may have my worries, but it's only right for me to come with you since you think of me as your family."

Darius didn't expect him to say this. He raised an eyebrow.

"I know very little about you."

Borisin nodded.

"Yeah, because my father and stepmother aren't important people in the Reid family."

Though Darius disagreed with him, he didn't say anything.

To his surprise, Borisin didn't continue.

He turned to look at him and asked, "Aren't you going to say anything else?"

Borisin shook his head.

"No. There are too many people around, and they don't need to know about my past. It's fine as long as you know so that we can work together better."

Darius rubbed his nose.

"I think there's something you've misunderstood about me.I don't know who you are, actually.I saw you from a photo in my grandfather's study, which was taken when you were a child." Borisin gaped at him. He didn't expect the truth to be like this.

After a long moment, he chuckled.

"I see.I thought you knew who I was."

Darius shook his head.

If his eyes weren't fooling him, he'd seen a trace of sadness in Borisin's eyes.

This didn't affect him, though.

He looked at Borisin emotionlessly and said, "I think it's only right for you to introduce yourself properly if you want me to help you."

"The name's Borisin."

Borisin's lips twitched, then he said while walking, "I was born before you were, so I'm actually older than you."

Darius wasn't bothered by this. He nodded and said, "Yeah, that doesn't really matter.I want to know when you realized we were both from the Reid Consortium."

Everyone around them fell silent and looked at him, their eyes wide with shock.

Darius didn't know why they were looking at him like that, so he raised an eyebrow and looked back at them.

Borisin put his hands back in his pockets and smiled while shaking his head.

"Nobody from the Reid Consortium would actually thank someone."

Darius disagreed with this, but he didn't say anything.

Borisin was a little disappointed, but he quickly overcame it.

His expression changed swiftly.

When he saw that Darius wasn't responding, he shrugged and said, "If you're not willing to talk about this, we can change the topic to anything else. I'm open to suggestions." He spread his hands.

To his surprise, Darius still didn't say anything.

There was a trace of panic in his eyes, and it was an odd reaction.

It made him seem completely different from how he'd been outside the hotel.

After some thought, Darius asked, "Do you remember what just happened?"

Borisin froze and blinked at him, looking lost.

Darius sighed.

"It's just as I thought."

He turned to Edward, who was still standing next to Lyon, and said loudly, "Bring him along!"
