The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr
The Consortiumâs Heir Chapter 231 He cleared his throat and straightened his collar before saying, âItâs a skill that we enlightened martial artists can use. You just need to direct that warm energy to your eyes to see everything you want anything at all, as long as you think about it.â
This came as a surprise to Darius. He widened his eyes and looked at Shelvin doubtfully, which Shelvin didnât appreciate.
Shelvin took a deep breath and looked at Darius sincerely, then said, âDarius, Iâm not lying to you. Why would I when I want to work for you in the future?â He paused, then continued calmly, âIf you donât believe me, you can try it. Youâll definitely see whatever you want to.â
Darius was still doubtful, but he couldnât suppress his curiosity. He tried to direct the energy from his abdomen to his eyes. What happened next shocked him âit was the exact scene heâd imagined!
Erin flushed when she saw him staring at her. She took a deep breath before saying, âMr. Reid, youâre making me shy, staring at me like that.â As she said this, Darius felt his mouth go dry.
He never expected his mind to conjure up such an image, which was why he couldnât take his eyes off Erin âshe was butt -
naked in his eyes.
It was only when he registered what sheâd said that he returned to his senses. Then, he jumped slightly and quickly turned away.
Erin didnât understand why he was acting so oddly, so she hurried over to him and reached out to steady him. âMr. Reid, are you okay?
Why did you jump? Do you feel unwell? Should I get you a doctor?â
Dariusâ heart was calm as he listened to her concerned questions, but he was acutely aware of her hand on his arm. He pulled his arm out of her grasp and put it behind his back before clearing his throat to conceal his awkwardness. Then, he frowned and said, â Iâm fine. You can let go of me now.â
Erin sensed the displeasure in his tone and quickly put her hand down, but she couldnât conceal her disappointment. Shelvin stood there silently, watching them. He turned to Darius and smiled knowingly, saying, âSo, the view was pretty nice, huh?â
Realization dawned on Erin when she heard his words, and her face burned bright red. She immediately kicked Shelvin behind his knee. He couldâve avoided her, but he knew that heâd crossed the line earlier. He didnât dodge her, so he ended up falling to his knees before Darius.
When Darius heard the sound of Shelvinâs knees coming into contact with the floor, it made him wince. Shelvin didnât look too bothered, though, making Darius raise an eyebrow. It seemed that Shelvin was worthy of his respect. Soon, however, Darius pushed this thought out of his mind.
Because Shelvin looked up at him, grinned, and mouthed, âDonât worry. Iâm aman, too, and I can understand how you feel. Iâll take this kick on your behalf, but I hope youâ ll be braver the next time. Iâll be waiting to attend your engagement party!â
Darius rolled his eyes, choosing not to say anything in response.
He put stuck his hands in his pockets and said coldly, âYou keep saying you have something important to say, but youâve failed to do so. Tell me what you know about Samantha Williams.â
Shelvin knew that he was really out of patience now, so he quickly got to his feet and said, âYouâve already tried directing the energy to your eyes, right? And you saw whatever it was you were thinking of. Basically, your eyes can act as an X-ray, and no one will be able to hide anything from you. Youâll be a walking X-ray machine!â
Darius didnât say anything. He merely turned to sweep his gaze over everyone present and found that Shelvin was right. It was like heâd been introduced to a new worldâone heâd never imagined existed. His gaze landed on Samantha.
He could clearly see that the blood vessels in her brain werenât like the ordinary personâsâthey were all lumped together, and some of them had turned black. They were probably dead.
To Darius, this meant something really was wrong with her brain.
This made his eyes widen, but it also made him more curious. With the Gillette familyâs wealth, there was no way they would choose a disabled person to be the future chairmanâs wife.
Yet, this was exactly what had happened. It was unimaginable, and he looked at her in wonder.
Samantha couldnât hear their conversation.
