The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 301

"Also, why hasn't anyone tried to confirm whether he's dead or alive? The bulk of your family was in a hurry to publicly announce his death after failing to contact him. Not to mention, you and your family members wasted no time battling over your family’s inheritance," Darius added.

He leaned against the car, eyes boring into Austin with curiosity.

Only Austin could see the former’s expression as he lay on the ground, facing directly at Darius, who looked down at him. His eyes darted left and right as he thought,

"Shit. I’m in deep trouble now. This guy’s right-no one has bothered to look for my nominal father, even though it's been a while since he vanished. The only people searching for him are my stupid stepsister and this guy. However, I'm pretty sure Kate doesn't know him because she's an idiot. Contrarily, this guy clearly has superior wealth and abilities. Guys like him would never associate themselves with Kate, who only invites trouble into her life. That must mean this guy before me is purely targeting the Anderson family wealth!”

At that thought, Austin's eyes narrowed alertly. Despite feeling overwhelmed by unbearable pain, he forced himself to sit upright and smile at Darius. The abrupt shift in his demeanor was so apparent that everyone except Darius felt confused.

Unlike the others, Darius already knew what Austin thought when the latter’s eyes darted around. That was the keen intuition Darius developed since becoming an enlightened martial artist. He had tested out its accuracy numerous times in the past, and it was never wrong. Thus, he knew it could predict what would happen next, as it always did in the past.

"I bet you're after my family. My dad's disappearance has left the Anderson family's riches vulnerable. We're essentially a big, juicy piece of meat everyone's eager to grab because they think we're defenseless." Austin's features relaxed into a sly grin. It was as though he were stating facts, fully believing that he was the Anderson family's only heir.
