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

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
