Circe was not only the prettiest in her class, but also the belle of Hexad’s. She was the center of attention wherever she went.She walked toward Darryl. Everyone’s eyes were on Darryl as she walked toward him. Extending her arm, she demanded, “Darryl, return my phone.”That morning, Evelyn dialed the Newmans to inform Circe that Darryl had her phone.What? Darryl took Circe’s phone? Everyone was partly confused and partly shocked.Darryl awkwardly handed the phone back to Circe. “I’m so sorry,” he chuckled. “I wanted to return it to you last night, but you had already left.”He thought of the excuse last night.“Why would my phone be with you?” she frowned.She was outraged. Darryl had her phone the entire night, so he must have had gone through her phone! Circe rarely got angry, but she was fuming.She glared at Darryl. Any ordinary person would have cowered in fear, but Darryl calmly muttered, “I picked it up.”Picked it up? Circe was suspicious. “Impossible,” she snap

“Darryl.”Declan stood up as he jeered, “You can’t change your ways after all! You still steal out of habit! Are you not one bit embarrassed? You said you found Circe’s phone. Can you swear that you found it?”F*ck. Darryl was trapped. He smiled bitterly and admitted, “Alright, I stole your phone yesterday.”Circe bit her lip as she menacingly glared at Darry. She had never loathed anyone so badly in her life. This was the first time that someone had stolen something from her.It was an insult to her to be in the same class with a lowly thief like him.Darryl scratched his head. “Circe, I don’t care what you think of me. I stole your phone for a reason. Yesterday at the Oriental Pearl, Declan knew he couldn’t afford to pay for the meal. He wanted to make you pay for it, so I stole your phone to prevent it from happening.”‘I saved you from spending twenty million bucks!’Circe’s expression was unchanged. She did not believe Darryl.There was a burst of laughter. Has Darryl lost

Katherine stuck a QR code print-out onto the blackboard.The students scanned the QR code and started donating. Some donated two hundred thousand, some five hundred thousand. The generous ones contributed a million bucks.They had their hearts set on the reward for the highest contributor, as what Miss Katherina had said.“How much did you donate?”“Wow! Five hundred thousand.”“I’m not bad as well. I donated six hundred thousand.”Everyone was proud of themselves for donating. Katherine was right. The school’s online platform had a list that showed which student contributed the most.Everyone’s eyes were glued to the list.Suddenly, a student from another class donated a million and eight hundred thousand bucks.“Look! Declan donated two million!” someone yelled.The class was in an uproar. The list stated that Declan Noel from Class Sixteen was the current highest donor at two million.All eyes were on Declan. Two million. This man had to be rich.Katherine nodded in appro

What?Everyone was floored when they saw the list. A few girls gasped in amazement.Five million.How did this live-in son-in-law donate so much? Where did he get the money from? Clueless, Katherine asked, “What happened? Why are all of you so stunned?” “Miss Katherine,” someone replied, “Look at the online donation platform.”Katherine checked her phone. She trembled.What? Darryl donated five million? He was the highest contributor out of the entire school!She was in a daze, staring at Darryl with disbelief.Circe could not help but look at Darryl as well; her eyes glimmering slightly. If he could donate five million, why would he steal phones? Unless what he said earlier was true? Among the many who were stunned, the Palmer sisters—Daisy and Daphne—were conflicted. They were dumbfounded. How could Darryl have donated so much money? Darryl approached Declan. “Declan, you said I’m poor, so I had to steal phones,” he accused. “Please let me know how many phones would I

A burst of praise erupted from the class. Many of the girls looked at Declan in utter adoration. To donate close to twenty million without much thought, Declan must have been extraordinarily wealthy.Declan’s image in his classmates’ eyes improved once again.However, some of them did notice the tiny details—Circe especially. She observed Darryl. She could clearly see that every single time Declan donated the money, his hands trembled. Darryl, on the other hand, remained calm all this while. He could donate tens of millions and still remain poised.She was more interested in Darryl out of the two of them.Darryl could not help but laugh. “Declan, are you almost broke?” he mocked.Declan could barely afford the meal at the Oriental Pearl yesterday. He had just donated seventeen million, so he must not have much left. Darryl took his phone and donated once more.There was dead silence once again. Declan swallowed hard. When he saw the ranking list, he was floored.Twenty milli

Katherine did not tell anyone that she dropped by two levels to a Level Four Master General. How did Darryl find out?“Miss Katherine,” he laughed as he spoke slowly. “Like I said yesterday, the Spirit Petrification Elixir had some issues. Sadly, no one believed me.”Katherine did not speak, biting down on her lip nervously. Did the Spirit Petrification Elixir truly cause it?“If I’m not mistaken, you will drop two more levels every day,” he continued. “According to your current level, you’ll become an ordinary being within the week.”Katherine’s expression darkened. There was fear in her eyes, her lips trembling.It took her a lot of effort to become a Level One Master Marquis. She even became an Elder of the Xiaoyao sect! Everyone respected her.If she became an ordinary human being, she would lose everything.Katherine’s mind blanked out. “Darryl, did you come up with this lie to frighten me?” she snarled.She came to her senses. She had heard of the Spirit Petrification Eli

Abbess Mother Serendipity was meditating at the pavilion in the courtyard. She exuded an ethereal aura in her long white dress.There was a silhouette at the courtyard door peeking in with an evil smile. It was Florian Darby.Ever since the gorgeous Emei sect followers moved into the mansion next door, he hoped to have a memorable encounter with them. However, Abbess Mother Serendipity and the others rarely left the mansion. They were mostly in the courtyard.Florian dared not disobey his grandfather’s orders, so he stood by the fence to look in. Suddenly, an idea came to him.Abbess Mother Serendipity noticed Florian. “Mister Florian,” she greeted politely. “May I help you?”“Abbess Mother Serendipity, sorry to disturb you,” he laughed sincerely. “I was thinking… Since the Mid Autumn Festival is approaching in two days, I would like to invite you and the followers to have a meal at our place.”Abbess Mother Serendipity thought about his offer. “That would be asking too much from

“What thief?” Yvonne asked curiously as she overheard the Palmer sisters’ sneers.Daisy smiled and said, “Yvonne, didn’t you hear? Darryl stole someone’s handphone yesterday. You’d better stay away from that thief.”Yvonne smiled, not believing a single word. Darryl stealing phones? This was the funniest thing she ever heard.He could live comfortably for the rest of his life just by relying on his skill in authenticating antiques and artifacts. Why would he steal phones? Darryl ignored Daisy, completely engrossed in examining the piece of jade.“There is a carving of a foreigner playing a musical instrument. If I’m right, this should be from the jade carving of it. This jade is a gem, estimated to be worth roughly around one and a half million or so.”Lily’s face was filled with admiration as she heard Darryl’s analysis. “Darryl, you’re wonderful!” she cheered.How did she not know sooner that he knew so much about antiques?Yvonne was equally in awe as well. Even her father
