"You're amazing!"Tanya clapped her hands and leapt in joy. She looked at Darryl with appreciation and admiration. "I thought that this car was completely broken. Who knew that you could fix it so easily!"Then, Tanya asked, "Oh, I still don't know who you are or where you're from.""Me?"Darryl thought for a while before he replied, "I'm Darren Derby, from the World Universe."Darryl had wanted to tell her his real name, but he changed his mind. Instead, he decided to keep a low profile as his name was too well-known."Oh, no wonder you know how to fix cars; you're from the World Universe," Tanya said in realization.Among the Nine Mainland, the World Universe had the most advanced technology. Almost everyone there knew about cars, so it was not strange for them to know how to fix one. Then, Tanya thought of something and asked Darryl curiously, "You're here in Westrington to run from the war, right?"Ah? Darryl was a little stunned.Tanya continued with a complicated exp
Tanya started the car and drove toward the Green Dragon City Gate. Darryl took a deep breath when they approached the city gate; he felt heavy-hearted when he saw the scene before him. He saw thousands of civilians had gathered outside the city gate. Most of those people had fled from the World Universe. Some of them carried packages, and some helped the old and young in their families. All of them looked exhausted. A checkpoint had been set up at the city gate where the fully armed Green Dragon City garrison soldiers were interrogating those refugees. The refugees pushed and shoved each other because there were too many people. The city gate was in a frenzy. "Shut up!" A captain yelled solemnly, "What's with the noise? Get in line and come one by one. Don't blame me for being harsh if you don't follow the rules." He was loud and intimidating. The noisy crowd suddenly became a lot quieter. At that moment, Darryl and the others got out of the car. "Why are there so man
Tanya groaned and froze on the spot. However, she was not angry because her cousin had stepped out of line. Darryl chuckled discreetly. He also cracked a faint smile; he was secretly pleased. Jonas had finally hit a snag. He had brought it upon himself because he had been too arrogant. At the same time, Darryl sent the captain a look of approval. It was unexpected that the small Green Dragon City Gate would have such an upright soldier on duty! "You—" Jonas covered his face; he was surprised and angered. Then, he pointed at the captain in disbelief. "How dare you hit me? I am the Dokko family's young master from Middle Terra. You are merely a low-ranked captain and a gatekeeper, yet you dared to do this to me?" Jonas was in a rage. He had always been treated with care and respect as the dignified young master, but the captain had felt no qualms when he hit him. He felt a burning shame as if he had been insulted. Whoa! The crowd erupted in an uproar. "You're th
Tanya was in a white cheongsam. Her sexy and firm figure was enough to make countless men drool. Tanya trembled, and she was a little anxious. "My assistant told me that a beautiful lady from the Synder's family in Middle Terra had graced us with her presence. You are the eldest young miss, aren't you?" Zane asked as he smiled and checked Tanya out. Mmm! Tanya felt uncomfortable at the way Zane had looked at her, but she nodded and responded. "Tsk... tsk..." Zane had his eyes locked onto Tanya and exclaimed. "I didn't expect that Middle Terra would have such a beautiful lady. Miss Synder, I've fallen in love with you at first sight. I heard that you are here for business. What a coincidence that I know many people in various businesses. Why don't you come to my house and have a few drinks and discuss this in detail? How about that?" As the Green Dragon City Gate's guardian, Zane had been unruly since he was a child. After he grew into adulthood, he became a big bully and
"Miss Synder, don't be afraid. Have a few drinks with me and I will not only support your business but also give you some tender loving care..." Zane laughed and hugged Tanya before he turned around to head into the city. Many civilians around them were exasperated, but they dared not voice it out. Tanya knew that she could not get out of Zane's clutches, so she gave up and closed her eyes in hopelessness. She was utterly in despair! Tanya was regretful. Had she known that would happen, she would have listened to her family, who had warned her against going outside to do business by herself. "Stop!" However, at that moment, a cold voice sounded. Then, an aloof figure walked out of the crowd. It was Darryl! Darryl could not take it anymore; he was extremely furious. He thought Jonas was very annoying, but he did not expect that Zane would be even worse. How could the man snatch a woman under everyone's eyes? He was worse than a beast!Darryl was the Westrington Empero
"Darren!" Tanya was very anxious; she continued to tremble. Her face was concerned as she was worried about Darry. She shouted, "Go, quickly! This has nothing to do with you! Just go, quickly..."Tanya was reluctant to see Darryl get into trouble because he stood up for her. They had only met by chance, like two duckweed that drifted nearby. However... Darryl stood there quietly as if he had not heard Tanya; he looked at the soldiers who had surrounded him, but his stern expression did not waver. "Young man!"The garrison soldier captain observed Darryl and said coldly, "You're quite courageous. How dare you challenge Mister Xanthos! If you know what's good for you, you should surrender now lest you suffer later—" Darryl interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. "You are the captain who guards the city gate," Darryl said with an icy tone. "I admired you for what you did, but I didn't expect that you would help Zane bully an innocent person. It's regrettable fo
"Young Man!" Finally, Zane reacted and grinned at Darryl. "Not bad. Even if you could beat these men, you are just an ant and a pool of mud to me." Zane's gaze turned cold, and he said, "But then, I appreciate your courage. So, you want to be a hero? I'll fulfill your wish." Then, Zane handed Tanya to the soldier beside him before he approached Darryl. Buzz! Zane mustered his internal energy. A strong gush of power permeated from the young man and filled the air. The crowd felt an intense pressure—their expressions changed, and they quickly backed away. When he sensed Zane's strength, Darryl sighed before the corners of his lips drew into a smile. 'No wonder this kid is so arrogant; he is a level one Martial Emperor.' "Go to hell! How dare you mess with me," Zane roared as he threw out a punch; he had exerted all of his strength into that punch; he wanted to kill Darryl with it. His brute strength distorted the air—the momentum was terrifying. However, Darryl did no
Jonas felt bitter when he pleaded for mercy; he almost cried. At the same time, he gave Darryl a stern look. Jonas thought that Darryl was a troublemaker who had made things worse. Zane was only teasing his cousin and took advantage of her. After that, however, things went downhill because Darryl had been too nosy. "Jonas!" Tanya's body shook as she yelled at Jonas, "Shut up!" 'Darren took the risk for my sake. How embarrassing it is that my cousin announces that we are unrelated to Darren because he fears death!' After Tanya told him off, Jonas kept quiet, even though he felt wronged. Then, the two were taken away; they had disappeared from everyone's sight. Darryl, who saw what had happened, drew in a deep breath. His face was gloomy and scary. He had wanted to rescue Tanya and Jonas forcefully, but he gave up because he was afraid that he would injure Tanya accidentally in the process. Darryl scrutinized Zane before he said coldly, "Zane, I have given you a chance.
