The gala was quite dull; it was just an event where celebrities performed on stage.Darryl walked around the venue, but he did not see Giselle and Lana. He figured they were backstage to wait for their turn to get on stage for their performances.He decided not to stay for them; he wanted to go home, take a shower, and go to sleep.He left the Donghai Satellite Television Building and lit a cigarette near the entrance. It was almost 9 pm; the lights flickered as people walked around the streets.Darryl was about to call a taxi when he noticed two men acting suspiciously beside a luxurious MPV.One of them was skinnier than the other, and they placed a bag behind the MPV's trunk before they hid behind a utility pole.'What are those two doing?' Darryl smoked his cigarette as he watched with interest.A pretty woman in a white dress walked by a few moments later. She looked like a college student.She had the keys in her hand, and she got up to the MPV. She ignited its engine and

"You can't just name an exorbitant price just because the girl is young."The two con men were not worried about the crowd's discussion.They were professional con men; they were well prepared. The certificate might have been fake, but the vase was an actual antique from the Yuan dynasty, although they had only spent a thousand bucks to purchase it.The two purposely chose to act on someone with a luxurious car. They placed the luggage behind the vehicle and waited for the driver to knock over it when they reversed their car. Then they would appear and accuse the driver of breaking their vase.The driver would be bitter if they were to know about it."You don't believe that it's worth two million bucks? Anyone here from the antique field? Come and decide if we are lying," the skinny man scanned through the crowd and said confidently."I work at Donghai City Museum; I can take a look."A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses approached them and showed them his employee card.

"Your analysis is correct. The vase is worth two million bucks if it is still in pristine condition." Darryl continued, "However, you missed something, the time when the vase was broken."Shawn's expression changed, but he did not say anything."Kid, you're acting like you know more than a museum employee.""You looked like a security guard. Wait, you smell like you just came out of a washroom. Are you also a janitor?"The crowd laughed; Darryl indeed smelled like he had urine on him.There was one person who did not laugh; Dora stared at Darryl frozenly.Darryl crouched and took a piece of the shattered vase. "Experts would know that the Yuan dynasty's delftware was made from a mixture of two ingredients—china stone and kaolinite. Therefore, when a delftware item broke, its yellowish base would get dark if it was exposed to air."Darryl handed a piece of the porcelain to the middle-aged man. "The pieces in the luggage can prove that the vase was broken quite some time ago. Base

“What the f*ck? Is he Megan Castello’s brother?”“F*ck, run!”The con men panicked; they ran past the crowd and disappeared in an instant.Darryl could not help but burst into laughter.“Hello, Younger Brother? Why are you not talking? What’s up?” Megan asked.There was nothing left to say as the two men were already gone.Darryl laughed again. “Nevermind.”He ended the call without any explanation.Megan stomped her foot in anger on the other side of the call.‘What the hell is wrong with Darryl Darby? Why did he call at such a late hour and disregarded me right after that?’‘Weirdo!’The crowd near the Donghai Television building had also dispersed.“Thank you so much.” Dora walked toward Darryl and bowed to him in gratitude.She was grateful that he had appeared in time, or she would not know that the two men were out to con her.Darryl smiled and replied casually, “You’re welcome. It was nothing.”He looked at Dora as he talked. She looked beautiful and pure.Dora w

Abby smiled lightly and looked at Darryl. "Yes, you did save me at the wedding, but I gave you the Spiritual herb in return. You wouldn't be a cultivator if it weren't for the herb. My debt was cleared long ago."Darryl was helpless. He smiled bitterly and said, "Fine, since it is already cleared, why did you kidnap me?"Abby sipped her wine and said calmly, "Are you really that oblivious, or are you just acting dumb? My brother sent his men to kidnap Dax Sanders' wife, but you interrupted them. You really do have some balls for interfering with our family's business."She stared at him, coldly.The tension in the room was suffocating.'So, it's because of that.'Darryl was amused, and he stared right into Abby's eyes. "Dax is a friend of mine, so his wife is also my friend. Of course, I had to interfere."Abby grimaced as she splashed the wine onto Darryl's face.F*ck...Darryl cursed internally as he got angry. He could not free himself as his limbs were tied tightly.He li

Abby utilized her connections and power to look for those Godly pills everywhere but to no avail.A Godly pill was sold at an extremely high price of five billion bucks at the Roger family's auction. Abby did not attend the auction, and she regretted it immensely when she heard the news.She was willing to give five billion, even 50 billion bucks, to achieve the Master General level. She was willing to sell her house, car, and even her company for it as a breakthrough to another level was a cultivator's lifelong target!Darryl had a few of those pills in his palm!

Abby bit her lips in frustration. The Godly pill that she had been dreaming about was right in front of her, but she could not lay her hands on it!“I can make as many of these pills you want, but I can’t just give them to anyone,” Darryl said smilingly“Please, I’m begging you. Please give the pill to me…” Abby’s previous arrogance had completely disappeared as she started to beg him.There was a hint of pleasure on Darryl’s face as he acted as if he wanted to eat the last pill.“No, stop!” Abby’s legs almost buckled. “I’m begging you, don’t put it to waste. Please don’t eat that, just give it to me… It was my fault, I shouldn’t have treated you like that. I shouldn’t have whipped you, I’m sorry…”‘That’s more like it.”Darryl smiled and sat on a chair. “You whipped me almost 20 times. What do you say to that?”“You can whip me back…” Abby lowered her head.Abby did not think that she could say such a humiliating sentence but she was desperate for the Godly pill.“Whip you?”
