The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 200

Darius chuckled, feeling taken aback by Edward's words. 'That doesn't matter because you can prove

your capabilities by speedily defeating them."

Edward nodded.

As their conversation ended, two men appeared beside Edward.

One of them swung their arm around Edward's shoulders and said," Edward Elliott, we’ve had a hard

time tracking you down these years. We didn't think we’d see you here."

Edward, Bridget, Erin, and Darius were surprised that the other party did not immediately take action.

However, Edward would tell the man had exerted a lot of force on his shoulder, which made his brows

furrow.

He remained unmoving but spoke with an irritated tone. "Shouldn’t you be happy to have found me?"

The man's face warped with rage. "We’ve always treated you well in the past, Edward. Why would you

do this to us now? Besides, I need to know where our mom has gone. She said she saw you and came

over but never returned to us, not even until now."

Edward’s gaze shifted to Darius. He was unsure if he should tell the truth about what had happened to

the two men, who were brothers. If he did so, it would complicate and delay Darius' departure from

here.

Little did he expect Darius to speak up. "Your mother made a grave mistake, So I've already sent her

down to the gates of hell. I can do the same for you two if you wish to join her that badly."

The men gawked with sheer disbelief.

"What did you say?" one of them exclaimed. The man then took Darius in from head to toe.

'Who’s this? Is what he said true?”

Edward was well accustomed to Darius' attitude at that point. Thus, he shot the men an icy look.

'Yeah, your mother crossed the line. I'm unsure whether you two were aware of her decision to act that

way, but you’ve already made a massive mistake by showing up here."

All emotions vanished from the men by then. Instead, a fiery hatred sparked in their eyes and soon

spread throughout their faces.

One of them glared at Edward while the other scowled at Darius. Despite that, they shared the same

thought, which the one standing before Darius voiced,

"We would consider letting you guys off the hook if you had answered us nicely. What a shame,

though. Since you couldn’t give us a satisfactory response, there's only one way to handle this—you'lI

have to join our mother down there and keep her company."

Only a brief chuckle came from Darius.

He parted his lips to speak, but it was then that an announcement rang out in the airport.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun boarding for the flight heading to Almiron City. Thus, we invite

all passengers to approach the boarding gates for ticket inspection. Thank you."

Darius finally raised his gaze off the ground. He looked at a boarding gate nearby before instructing

with a much colder tone,

"Edward, finish them off soon. Let’s not delay the flight."

The brothers' gazes met, hatred and mockery gleaming in their eyes.

One of them then put his hands on his waist while guffawing. "I've never been ignored like this before.

It seems we've been too nice to you guys, and it's giving off the wrong impression. Anyway, I hope you

lot will hold your tongues during what we're about to do because you'll pay dearly for crossing us."

Before Edward could respond, a snicker rang out.

Although the environment was noisy, the brothers could still hear it. Their attention instantly shot toward

Darius while pure hatred radiated off them.

"Do you have a problem with what I said?" One of the brothers approached Darius, glaring daggers at

the latter.

He wanted to say more, but Darius beat him to it.

"Edward, you have five minutes left. If you can't settle this within five minutes, there's no need for you

to join me on this trip. "

Upon hearing that, Edward’s eyes widened. He then replied with quivering lips, "Rest assured, Mr.

Reid. All I need are two minutes to get rid of them."

Then, he speedily knocked the brothers to the ground with one punch, not giving them a chance to

speak.

Darius' mouth opened slightly in shock as he mused, "Edward's capabilities in combat grew

significantly since our last encounter. Incredible."

Contrarily, Bridget, who stood nearly, did not seem shocked by the outcome.

The brothers that got knocked over felt a ringing in their heads but still got back onto their feet.

That was when Darius glanced at Edward while tutting. "And here I thought a single punch from you

would render these guys immobile. I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed."

Edward glimpsed at Darius before quickly looking away with shame.

"I’ll do exactly that now, Mr. Reid."

He then turned toward the brothers, whose bodies swayed as they struggled to balance on their feet.

The two had just stood when a blow got dealt to their faces, causing them to stumble once more.

This time, they could not bring themselves to stand.

Two control room personnel suddenly rushed over just then. They frowned while stating,

"Fighting in such a public space will cost you guys greatly."

Darius silently glanced at Edward.

However, no words were necessary, as Edward understood what was happening.

He knelt, grabbed both brothers' collars, and growled, "We grew up together! Was it necessary to call

the authorities because of our little brawl?"

Although Edward was smiling, he gripped the two with force.

The brothers glared at him.

One of them then turned to the control room personnel and loudly spoke while tearing up, "Don’t trust a

word he says! We did grow up together-but he abandoned our sister!"
