"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 cf 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.

Darius raised a brow but did not speak.

Erin, who had been watching the entire time, notice Darius’ slight nod and knew he no longer wished to speak to the ignorant blond boy.

Hence, she walked over to the space between Dazius and Austin.

"I believe you.should forma.ly introduce yourself before further discussing this matter with my employer." Austin tensed on the spot.

His brows furrowed while he examined every inch of Erin’s tody, commenting, "You’re gorgeous but I'm sorry to say we have nothing to do with each other, so I don’t think you’ re qualified to speak to me."

H? raised his chin high as if his words were gospel, and Darius would undoubtedly do as he said.

That was when Darius raised a brow at the boy again.

He parted his lips, but what he said was entirely different from what Austin wanted to hear.

"How old are you?"

The question hardened every muscle on Austin's face.It confused him so much that he instinctively asked, "Why are you asking me that? Shouldn't you be gifting this hot employee of yours to me?"

All warmth vanished from Darius’ face, leaving only a dead gaze on his face.

Austin did not expect that to happen.

The sudden change of atmosphere sent a chill down his spine.

Regardless, he stood his ground as he firmly believed he spoke the truth.He did not understand why Darius would get upset, so he confidently locked eyes with Darius, not backing down.

Darius then turned to look at Edward and said, "I don’t thinkI have anything more to say to this child."

Edward immediately nodded.

Although Austin had never heard of anyone important named Edward, he could tell what was about to happen from Edward’s towering height and threatening posture.

Even as the latter approached, he did not run; instead, he pointed at Edward and shrilled, "What the hell do you think you're doing? Are you planning to lay your hands on me? Let me repeat myself —I’m the Anderson family’s only heir! My family will not let you off easy if you dare harm me! They’! definitely avenge me!"

He shot a death stare at Darius after saying that.

Much to his disappointment, Darius ignored him and got straight into the car.

Upon seeing that, Erin did not hesitate to get into the car, leaving Edward behind.

That was when Edward paced quickly toward Austin, raised his leg, and kicked the latter back onto the ground.

All Austin felt was a chill spreading throughout his body, then his stomach went numb while the rest of his body tremored fervently.

He mused, "Am I about to die? I doubt this man and his subordinates are kind enough to let me walk away alive, especially since he came here for the Anderson family’s wealth."

Edward’s eyes narrowed viciously at the shriveled blond on the ground.

He snarled, "I was planning to let you off the hook when you nearly crashed into our car earlier.Little did I know a brat like you would have such a death wish! How dare you pull all these tricks?"

Still lying on the ground, Austin’s eyes widened.

Before he could muster up a retort, Edward smirked.

The latter’s eyes were so frosty that they made the hairs down everyone’s backs stand straighter. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Austin quivered uncontrollably.

What terrified him more was that all words had failed him; his teeth chattered so much that he could not speak.

One corner of Edward’s upper lip raised at that sight.

He interrupted the former by saying, "7m pretty sure I know what you wish to say.

Let me guess—you want to threaten me, saying that if I do anything bad to you, the entire Anderson family will come for me? That they’!] cause trouble for me and maybe even kill me?"
