“Say it again?” The sales assistant was furious. “Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself? If you can’t afford then don’t come to a high-end mall like this. Wearing cheap clothes like yours, you still have the guts to come here. What if you dirty the dress when you try on the dress? Even if you didn’t dirty it, you would just leave without buying, waste of my time.” “That’s right, the girl is right.” The rich-looking lady added, “Being a sales assistant is not an easy job. If you don’t plan to buy then don’t try it on. There is a departmental store, the clothes there will suit you better.” “Darryl, let’s just go.” Lily pulled Darryl slightly, speaking silently. As a matter of fact, Lily was only teasing Darryl, she had no intention to get Darryl to buy the dress for her. Darryl signaled to Lily not to speak, then he replied with a smile, “Not only I want this dress, for all the designs you have in your boutique, I want all that of them as long as they are my wife’s size.” Right af

Wow! People surrounding them took a cold breath. “That’s crazy!” “Eight million bucks? It’s daylight robbery.” “Hungry for money, are you? All the things in your stall combined, wouldn’t have worth more than eight thousand.” Everyone was commenting, Yvonne and the few antique store owners were shaking their heads, smiling. Out of their expectation, someone came from behind. “Eight million? Fine, I’ll take it.” Darryl nodded after he gave a slight thought. Wow! Everyone went into a chaos at that moment. He was really buying it? Eight million for a broken rusted sword, was he out of his mind? At that moment, the few antique store owners were shaking their heads too. They had been observing the antique seller’s sword for a while. It was not even an antique item, it’s just some broken metal. Yvonne was the only one squeezing her brows light, thinking. Lily had no knowledge at antique items at all. However, seeing everyone’s reaction, she wanted to persuade Dar

Listening to Lily’s words, Yvonne smiled and said silently, “It’s fine. I trust Darryl.”Trust him?Three years into their marriage, she had never heard about Darryl having the knowledge of antique appraisal.What she knew was that Darryl did all the washing and cooking at home, apart from that he was good for nothing. On the other hand, the Yvonne Young family had been in the antique business for generations. Why was she listening to Darryl?Meanwhile, Darryl looked at the porcelain plate again and said, “Look at the flower carving, it is thick and round. A normal kiln owned by commoners would not be able to produce this type of item, it must have been made in a royal kiln.”Hearing about a royal kiln, everyone was amazed with a sigh.If that was true, the porcelain plate would be a treasure! The few antique store owners sighed in regret.“Boss, I will take this porcelain plate for two million bucks.” Yvonne stepped forward in her stilettos, took out her cellphone, and w

Once the call was connected, the antique seller put it on speaker mode.He was obviously trying to let others hear his conversation."Hi, Brother Felix. It's me." The antique seller spoke into the phone, glancing at Darryl. Brother Felix? After hearing that, everyone around shivered. How many people named Felix were there in Donghai City? Could it be… Everyone was wondering. At that moment, a deep voice came from the other end of the call, “What happened, Cousin Brother?” “Felix Blakely?” “Sh*t, this guy is the cousin brother of Felix Blakely?” Why would Felix Blakely-with a net worth of a few billion bucks-have a cheater cousin brother?It was true. The guy on the other side of the line was the president of Black Tiger Real Estate, Felix Blakely. He was infamous in Donghai City. No one would want to mess with him!Everyone looked worried, especially a few of the antique store owners. They did not dare to speak. They backed out gradually, worried they might get

The antique seller was in shock and kept nodding his head. He did not dare to go against Felix's words."Pass the phone to Brother Darryl!" he demanded. When the cellphone was handed to Darryl, Felix's voice trembled on the other end of the line."Brother Darryl, it's my fault. I didn't control my people properly. I will go over there now to apologize to Miss Young now…""No, no need…" Yvonne spoke up, still stunned. How could she let Felix apologize to her?Darryl shook his head. "It's alright, you don't have to come here. Just make sure to control your people in the future. He was lucky it was just me today, or he would have been in big trouble." "Yes, sure, Brother Darryl. You are right," Felix replied. Darryl did not want to say more and went on to disconnect the call.The antique seller was about to cry. He kept bowing to Darryl."I am sorry. Extremely sorry, Brother Darryl. If I knew that you were friends with Brother Felix, I would not have dared to do this." He t

The three beautiful ladies gathering together was such a pleasing sight. Darryl admired them for a while sitting on the sofa. After a while, he got bored and switched on the TV.Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Darryl sneezed a few more times, and his nose started to run.‘Damn it, I must’ve caught a cold,’ he muttered to himself as he grabbed two pieces of tissue paper and wiped his nose. He tossed them aside on the coffee table and picked up the TV remote to browse through the channels. He searched for channels on Donghai TV, but an explicit adult channel showed up instead after pressing some buttons.Damn it! What kind of TV was this? Why did it have such channels?“Darryl, can I get you some drinks?” Yvonne walked in from the kitchen, just as Darryl got into the mood from watching the channel he accidentally came across. Quickly, Darryl snapped out of the show and tried to change the channel in a hurry. However, no matter what button he pressed, the channel did not change.

Oh, no! Skyler Burr was here!Daryl was relieving himself when he heard a loud smack from the toilet door being kicked open.“Skyler Burr, are you mad? I’m the East King!” Darryl tried to pretend, not having any idea what an East King even was.“Yeah, go on,” Skylar sniggered. “Keep pretending to be the East King. Today, I’ll make you cry.”By then, the three women were tied up by the men as they were pushed into the living room. They were no ordinary men, but the disciples of the Heaven Cult!Darryl was furious, but he knew there was no way he could fight them alone. He took a deep breath to cool off.A faint smile appeared on Skyler’s lips. “Follow me,” he hissed.With that, he walked into the bedroom. Darryl had no choice but to follow him in. Skyler wanted to speak with Darryl in private since he was the one who stole the ‘Ascension of the Nine Dragons’ from the Grandmaster. He kept the secret well, and his followers had no clue. After all, it was a death sentence for steali

”You’re lucky that you met me today, or else you’d be dead in no time,” Darryl scoffed as he put the Bicolor Flower into the clay pot. He began to prepare the other ingredients.Other than the Bicolor Flower, the antidote required rice vinegar and peony petals. Darryl stupefied Skyler as he watched him work.Was he refining the antidote right there? Did he know the recipe, or was he just pretending? The Heaven Cult Elixir’s antidote… How could someone else other than the Grandmaster know about it?Questions flooded Skyler’s mind. Finally, an elixir appeared in Darryl’s hand. He was done!“Eat it,” Darryl demanded as he put the pill in Skyler’s mouth. Although Darryl seemed calm, he was nervous deep down. If the pill did not work and Skyler died, the disciples outside would assume he killed Skyler. It would turn out mortifying.However, Darryl was overthinking. In less than five minutes, Skyler’s pale face returned to normal, and his body stopped twitching.Darryl sighed in relief

”Darryl, please untie us. Also, who were those people? What were they doing here?” Lily asked quietly.“Nothing much,” Darryl shook his head. “ I don’t even know them. It was a misunderstanding; they came for the wrong person.”He would not tell anyone about him becoming the Hall Master, of course. After all, the Heaven Cult did not have a good reputation.While he was untying them, they heard the door open, followed by an outrage.“Daryl? What do you think you’re doing?!”Looking in the direction of the door, it was Yvonne’s father, Kingston Young. He stood by the door, his face darkened by the horror and rage in his eyes. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly.“Oh, my lord! Oh my!” Kingston held on to his chest, panting heavily. He slammed his bag on the floor. “I know you youngsters are open-minded nowadays, but this is… just wrong! Oh my!” Kingston screamed as he held on to his chest, still breathing heavily. Since they were young, he had brought up his children to be c

”Dad, what are you talking about? When did I ever want to…” Yvonne stomped her feet, her face flushed.Although she outwardly said so, she could not help Darryl’s images floating inside her mind. It was challenging to know what Darryl was thinking. He always surprised everyone. According to people, he was pure trash; a cowardly, useless person. Yet, the Darryl that she knew was as mysterious as the ocean. With him, she felt safe.Strange… Why would she have such weird thoughts? She blushed.After leaving the house, Lily parked the car at the supermarket entrance.“Darryl, why don’t you send Jade home?” Lily asked. “I’ll get some groceries to make you dinner tonight.‘Make me dinner?!’ Daryl thought, shockingly. For the past three years, it had always been him making dinner for them. He had never imagined Lily to be the one cooking for him.“Sure, sure!” Darryl nodded, driving away after seeing Lily enter the supermarket.The two of them remained in the car. Seeing that Jade had
