Semua Bab The Consortium's Heir : Bab 271 - Bab 280

“I’ll accept your condition as you’re already being so generous,” Darius said while getting off the bench to stand. He shoved his hands in his pockets, turned, then headed for the Gillette family’s villa. “Since both our secretaries aren’t here, only you are available to draft an agreement on our share transfer.”Wilson shut his eyes. Yet, a second later, he rushed up to Darius and entered his villa alongside the latter. A look of resignation shrouded his face like a dark cloud, but Wilson had to do so to survive. After all, there was no telling if he could keep Remnard Estate; perhaps the estate’s villa and every piece of furniture inside it would no longer be his if he disobeyed Darius. There were many thoughts in Wilson’s head, but he kept his face blank the entire time. When he entered the study, he found Darius sitting on the ergonomic chair behind the desk. The latter even considerately turned the monitor and keyboard in Wilson’s direction, ready to have the agreement drafted.Wils

A relieved sigh slipped out of Wilson when he saw Darius slowing to a halt. In his eyes, that meant the latter was willing to help him. However, he was oblivious to how Darius was one step ahead and had figured out the tank meant bad news. Darius had merely stopped to ponder the best course of action—to let Wilson die now or save him. He did not have to think for much longer, though, as a man soon exited one of the tanks and approached him with a baseball bat. Darius then quirked a brow before deciding to stay silent.Contrarily, the approaching man did not share the same sentiment. He stood before Darius, rage causing the tips of his ears to redden. He gripped the baseball bat so hard that even the veins running down his forearms popped.Still, he gritted his teeth, suppressing his wrath to say, “I’m Benji Anderson. I believe you’ve guessed my family background now that you know my last name.”Darius’ brows raised upon seeing the former. He never thought someone could behave so formally

“Let’s leave for now. I promise I’ll proveto you later that I’m not lying,” Kate explained.The chaotic scene was what Wilson saw whenhe rushed out to the yard. He froze, unable to take another step now thateveryone had seen him exit his villa. Wilson was in a dilemma as it was notappropriate for him to stay or leave, and even if he did try to excuse himself,there was no right way to do so.Benji’s eyes were still glued to Darius,not bothering to spare even a sideways glance at Wilson. His fingers tautenedaround the bat again while his breathing grew heavy.Standing opposite the former, Darius kepthis hands in his pockets. It seemed as though he was unperturbed, despite beingthe target of Benji’s murderous glares. That only pissed Benji off more. He groundhis teeth against each other so hard that his jaw hardened. At the same time,he made sure to enunciate his following insult, “Fucking scumbag!”Indeed, Benji saw Darius as nothing morethan a complete scumbag. He felt an

However, itturned out that he just didn’t know his siblings well enough. In fact, perhapshe didn’t understand them at all. For instance, he felt like Calypso was atotal stranger.His eyes reddenedat these thoughts, but he didn’t cry. He stood there with his hands behind hisback, slowly balling them into fists.Silence descendedupon them. Calypso remained kneeling on the ground, her eyes still dartingaround, but she didn’t say anything.Benji couldalready tell what her answer was. He didn’t expect her to show her disdain forhim so outwardly. He gulped and said hoarsely, “Since you’re not sayinganything, I’ll take it that you think I make sense and that you’ve given up onyour ludicrous idea.”Calypso glared athim and shouted shrilly, “Benji Anderson! Don’t think you have the right tojudge and interfere in my life just because you’re two years older! You’re agood-for-nothing loser, and you’re trying to make me end up like you!”Darius admiredthe shocked look on Benji’s fac

However, when hesensed the shift in Benji’s emotions, he immediately turned back to look atBenji. Caught in the act, Benji stiffened. At the same time, he lookedthoughtful.The Andersonfamily was affluent, so he’d seen many martial arts experts. None of them hadthe sensitivity Darius possessed, however. Benji found it hard to believe thatsuch a sharp person was poor. In fact, if hecould gain control of the Anderson family, he’d definitely want to take Dariusunder his wing, provided he had enough money to do so.Darius wassurprised by Benji’s pondering again, but it didn’t take long for Benji toreturn to his senses. Calypso lookedfurious. She clenched her fists tightly and swung them around, her voice likenails on a chalkboard as she screeched, “That’s enough! You’re such adisappointment! You’re my brother, and I’m the only person in this world thatshares your blood. Yet, you’re protecting William’s daughter even though he’salready dead!”Silence descendedupon them fo
