August noon, brilliant weather. However, the atmosphere at the Darby Mansion was extremely gloomy.The clan gathered in the main hall, glancing at Jackson and Rebecca with grim expressions.“Jackson, have you thought this through?” Drake asked.“Yes, dad,” Jackson nodded. “I have. I fully support Rebecca’s decision to have the baby.” He looked at Rebecca’s belly. Indeed, she was pregnant. However, she and Jackson had not consummated their marriage.Ever since the wedding where Rebecca was raped, Jackson gave her space to heal from the trauma. After all, it was distressing for her. However, Jackson did not foresee that Rebecca would get pregnant. One does not need to guess who the father was. The news of Rebecca’s pregnancy spread throughout the entire Darby clan barely within a day. “Jackson, you’re crazy!”“Yeah, this kid isn’t yours. Why are you keeping it?”“Darryl raped your wife, yet you still want to keep his child?”Everyone in the family was yelling in indignation. Ja

The sword was blood-red with a realistic dragon carved on it. It was about three feet and two inches long. ‘Blood Drinking Sword’ was engraved into the other side of the blade.What was happening?Darryl could barely react when a buzzing, mysterious voice entered his head.“The Blood Drinking Sword has acknowledged its master. Current level: Category Red, Level One.” ‘Wow! Even weapons have their own levels as well. ‘Category Red, Level One’ must be strong!” thought Darryl excitedly. He took out his phone and dialed Megan. Megan was a Senior Sister in the Emei sect. She had to know more than him. The moment the phone call got through, Darryl asked, “Officer Castello, do weapons have different levels?” They had not contacted each other in many days, yet this was the first question he asked? Megan nodded. “Yes, they do,” she replied. “Did you acquire one recently?”“A sword,” Darryl laughed. “It was recent. It felt odd, so I called you up for your advice. How are the levels

Darryl shook his head. ‘Bloody hell, am I not wearing a good set of clothes? I just bought them! Why do people keep looking down on me?’Even though he bought it from a street vendor, it was cheap and comfortable!“Fine, I won’t go in,” Darryl exclaimed, accepting his defeat. He could not be bothered to start an argument with her.He was about to phone Megan to let her know that he would be at the entrance when Sharon stomped over to him in her high heels.“If you want to make a phone call, do it outside! Do not disturb our VIPs,” she ordered.“I can’t even make a call?” Darryl was dumbfounded.“No!” she shrieked, pointing towards the main entrance. “The VIP entrance is not for you to loiter around. Make your call outside.”A security guard walked over. “Sir, this is the VIP section,” he frowned. “Please don’t linger around here. You’ll disturb the others.”The other customers started to notice the commotion.“Who is this poor, broke dude trying to enter the VIP section?”“He

Everyone was stunned seeing the two suitcases of cash. “Sir, this is five million,” Sharon approached Darryl with caution. She was extremely polite and did not dare to look Darryl in the eye. “Now deposit them and take one thousand out,” Darryl replied flatly. He did not need that much cash. One thousand was enough for him. Sharon did not dare disobey. She quickly went and returned shortly with one thousand. Megan appeared at the same time. “Darryl, you’re only withdrawing one thousand, why are you at the VIP section?” she asked with confusion. Were VIP sections open to the public now? It used to be restricted for transactions worth more than a million. Were banks getting more lenient in their guidelines? Megan was not in her uniform today. She wore a white shirt, with a body-hugging skirt. She was extremely attractive and onlookers were gawking at her. “This bank has excellent customer service, they treat me like a VIP even though I only withdrew a thousand bucks,” repli

The men were shocked at Megan’s reaction. They sized her up—high heels, white shirt, and a body-hugging skirt. She was as gorgeous as a movie star! “I’m a cop! Put down your weapons!” Megan said coldly. Cop? The men’s expression darkened. They looked at each other, then surrounded Megan. Darryl’s head hurts. This woman had no weapon on her, yet she dared to stand up to them? He slapped his forehead, then silently crept toward them. “Brothers, tie her up!” the leader howled. This was an unexpected gift! She was too beautiful. The men smiled devilish and approached Megan with a rope. ‘This woman is such a troublemaker,’ thought Darryl. He sighed, then rushed forward. “Megan, look after the rest, I’ll deal with the robbers!” yelled Darryl. He punched the first robber in the face. The robber could barely react and his body flew across and passed out. What?! Knocking someone unconscious with only one punch? Was he not a useless live-in son-in-law? How was he so strong?

‘To dodge or not to dodge, that was the question!’In the fraction of a second, Darryl decisively chose the latter.As Megan exclaimed, she noticed the female student. Suddenly, her heart quivered.He… was willing to take the bullets for someone irrelevant.Megan gave Darryl a strange gaze.Thoughts were spinning in Megan's mind when the camouflaged man pulled the trigger. Bang!Accompanied by a shocking sound, Darryl's body fell backward and blood shot out from his left shoulder.Darryl took in a sharp inhale when the pain attacked him! However, he gritted his teeth to stop him from making any sound. He retreated a few steps back and had his eyes fixed on the camouflaged man, he cracked a smile. "Your gun skill is not that good."While talking, Darryl tore a piece of cloth from his body and quickly wrapped it over his wound.The entire lobby of the bank was dead silent.Those people who were lying on the ground had their mouths agape and eyes staring wide in astonishment.

The robbers’ van sped toward the outskirts. The robbers in the car removed the black cloth on their heads one by one.Their eyes flashed with excitement when they saw the big bags of money in the back of the van. "We have got a problem, Brother Walter. The brat and the policewoman are behind us."A robber glanced back inadvertently and noticed the car behind them, he shouted at the camouflaged man in panic.The other robbers quickly looked around to check, their expressions changed drastically. There were so many of them in the bank, yet they were unable to subdue the brat. Instead, Darryl managed to counter-attack them. Besides, Darryl seemed to be just fine even after he took a shot from Brother Walter!"What up? Don’t tell me that you guys are afraid of a brat like him! Drive up the mountain. The mountain has a poor signal. Even if they call up the police, it will not be easy for them to locate us." The camouflaged man called Brother Walter wore a grim expression and rebuked i

He was piqued to be humiliated by the young brat in front of him."What? Am I wrong? Let the child go if you still have a teeny bit of guilty conscience and humanity." Darryl kept his straight face and said as he continued to approach the robbers. "Motherf*cker! Stop it, you f*cking stop right there!" Lance shouted, hatred ablaze in his eyes.‘What is Darryl doing?’Megan wondered anxiously. She was all tensed up. She thought that Darryl must be out of his mind. What if the robber were flurried and they ended up hurting the innocent child?Darryl cracked a smile. "To be honest, I admire your courage. You dare to rob the bank with just a few members. However, it's shameful to take a little girl as a hostage. Your goal is just to escape, isn’t it? What if you take me as a hostage instead and release the little girl."Lance did not respond, his eyes fired up in intense rage.Darryl smiled indifferently and continued, "You hate me, don’t you? This little girl is innocent, and you h

"You… your wound..."Megan walked up to Darryl quickly. She asked about his wound anxiously. "It's okay." Darryl shook his head, looking relaxed.In fact, he was just holding the pain in.His wound was affected when he wielded the Bloody Drinking Sword earlier, he was in a lot of pain.Megan nodded and said nothing more. She still looked very worried through her eyes when she took the little girl into the car.The moment Darryl got into his car, he felt a burst of unbearable pain spread from his shoulder. He cursed silently. The bullet was stuck in his wound for a long time. If he did not get it out in time, he might lose too much blood.Instead of starting the car engine, he untied the cloth wrapped around his shoulder and used his internal energy to force the bullet out.When the bullet popped out of his wound, Darryl quivered in pain. His forehead was covered with sweat! ‘F*ck! Fortunately, I became a cultivator. Otherwise, I might be incapacitated if the bullet is left in

Megan bit her lips and stopped talking when she noticed that Darryl was looking at her with a smile.‘Have I cared too much about him?’"It's really not necessary. It's already late at night and the doctors are off work.""Then… your wound, how are you going to deal with it?" Megan frowned. She was quiet for a while before saying softly, "Why don't you go to my house? I'll help you clean up the wound and apply some medication."Darryl laughed and teased her, "Why do you care so much about me? Are you afraid that I will die?""I..." Megan panicked for no reason. "After all, you were injured because of me..."It was already late at night. Megan knew that it was inappropriate to invite a man to her house at such late hours. However, he was injured. How could his wound be left untreated? And it was exactly because of her that he was injured…Darryl nodded. "Well, it's okay if you want me to go to your house and treat my wound, but you have to promise me one condition.""What is
