The Consortium's Heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 511 - チャプター 520

Bridget’s eyes narrowed to slits. Despite her smile, her other facial features seemed cold.That was when Darius opened the backdoor inside the hotel and saw a trembling Brock, who could barely stand upright in front of Bridget. Likewise, he noticed a more polished man among the enemy team, Phaedrus, who lay dead on the ground due to severe injuries. Frost coated Darius’ eyes as he scanned the battlefield, where people were still fighting in the background. However, both teams seemed like their minds were elsewhere. Frowning in annoyance, he thundered, “Listen up, every staff member of Umbrite Hotel! I want you to fight off our enemies with the utmost seriousness. Otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences! Need I remind you guys that I’m quick to anger?”He then turned to look at Brock and calmly said, “I’d surrender if I were you. After all, the only one who can effectively defeat our security guards is Phaedrus, but he’s dead. No one can help you since you’re so useless. Tha

The enemy’s weapons, dropping all at once, produced the sorrowful sound of defeat that reverberated in everyone’s ears. Even their hearts ached at the thought of losing.“Thank God it’s all over,” Bridget said, sighing while raising her brows. She then turned to return to her room, thinking, “Alicia’s capable of wrapping things up here.”As expected, once she opened the backdoor to re-enter the hotel, someone opened the door from inside—it was a panicked Alicia. The latter rushed over so frantically that Bridget had to take a few steps backward. With a smile, she asked, “What’s going on? Why the rush? Why don’t you tell me, and maybe I can help out.”Alicia was panting so hard that she could barely speak. Bending forward and resting both hands on her knees for support, she took a haggard breath before replying, “N-No, I’m good. Instead, I was only checking up on your end and seeing if you needed help. Also, I found something that might help you next time.”It took a lot of effort for

“Because the fact of the matter is—you pissed me off, and that wiped out any hopes they had of surviving.” Darius took slow and controlled steps toward the man, his presence exuding an oppressive aura that quickened everyone’s breaths.Eventually, one of the many men on the enemy team could not hold back any longer. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the person who lied to Bridget earlier, thundering, “That’s enough, Waylon! This Darius guy has spoken a lot, but his words aren’t entirely wrong—you’re the sole reason we’re all going to suffer now! That little piece of shit that left us earlier didn’t think twice before giving that woman insider information. He doesn’t even care if the rest of us live! We don’t get access to much of the company’s secrets, but you and that shithead know everything. That’s clearly unfair to us! And now, for some unknown reason, you’ve decided not to tell Darius what you know. Are you having fun challenging them, knowing our lives are at risk? I don’t

“I could tell the man lifted his legs high when walking because the distance between each footprint was wide but still within an average person’s walking range. Thus, I stopped feeling scared. I no longer saw him as a superhuman and figured he was likely just skilled in ancient martial arts.” Waylon locked eyes with Darius before continuing, “That’s all I know. As for the man’s third time attacking me, I don’t think there’s much to say. He thought he’d killed me, but I lay still on the ground for the longest time until I gradually regained consciousness. During that third time, I had no clue how he abducted me or how I survived. All I know is my body hasn’t been functioning well since that encounter.”Following that, his gaze shifted into the space around him, giving him a dull and forlorn expression.Unlike him, Darius frowned, feeling displeased with that information. Some time passed before he curtly waved in dismissal, saying, “Get out of here. You’re a free man starting today.”T

Even so, his sloppy appearance did not take away from his robust build, nor did it make his tightly clenched fist look any less intimidating. His fist swung in the air, igniting a gust of wind that blew throughout the yard, eventually spreading all over Umbrite Hotel’s main entrance.That was all Bridget heard—the wind. For the first time, she had an idea to gather her internal energy and form them into ear plugs, blocking off any sounds around her. That was what Bridget did. Because of that, she sat in the hotel’s backyard and could not hear Darius calling her name from the second floor.Not receiving a response, Darius let out a weak sigh before focusing on Bridget. Only then did he understand what she was doing. It also shocked him to learn about her actions; Although Darius had not paid much attention to Bridget’s cultivation of her internal energy and martial arts skills, Darius could still tell she had improved significantly. That was because he could see the state of Bridget’s
