The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Besides, I don't want to, nor will I, allow them to live. After all, their recent schemes involve recruiting children to scam other families, which I can’t tolerate." While saying that, Shevin boldly looked into Darius' eyes. "I believe you're also aware of these things. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have acted against them."

Darius' gaze bore into him as he nodded. "I've said many things to you today, and it's significantly more than my usual conversations with my secretary. Among everything we discussed, your last assumption is the most accurate. It's what I like to hear. Thus, from this point on until the plane lands, I want you to shut up unless you're uttering facts. That way, I might stay in a good mood and allow you to leave this plane alive."

Meanwhile, the captain had been on the ground in the row ahead, his fingers roaming over Kate's head.

After Shelvin and Darius' conversation dwindled, the captain meekly reported to Darius, "Kate's not doing so good. She has suffered trauma to her head, but I'm unqualified to give her a proper diagnosis or treat her. I’ll need to make an in-flight announcement to see if we have a doctor on board. I hope this matter won't affect your mood, sir."

Darius found the captain, who stared at him timidly, amusing as it was not his intention to be frightening. Plus, he did not think he was a scary person. Nevertheless, he kept silent, shut his eyes, and nodded.

Seeing the former behave like usual, the captain heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest while leaving to make the announcement.

Darius massaged his temples. Suddenly, he changed his mind when the captain was about to depart the first-class cabin. He called out, "Wait."
