Darryl was furious. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the door.“Master Darby, our Master is inviting you and Dax to dine with him in the main hall.”“I’ll be right there,” Darryl replied.Darryl took a deep breath. He looked at Megan and explained, “I admit, Chester and I are close. I’ll admit that I am also a Hall Master of the Eternal Life Palace, but we never did any evil or harm anyone. We lived an honest life. You’ll sleep here tonight. You’ll take the bed, and I’ll take the floor. I’ll untie you when I get back later. Dax and I are leaving for Donghai City tomorrow, so we’ll bring you along.”Darryl walked out of the room.“Darryl, you bastard…”Darryl could hear Megan’s cries. Darryl loathed Abbess Mother Serendipity. Chester must have captured Megan to blackmail her, and he definitely would not let her go that easily. Darryl ignored her as he made his way to the main hall.The main hall was magnificent. All the furniture was made out of Golden-thread Nanm
The thought of Megan still made Darryl angry. However, he wanted to have a good time with his brothers. He put Megan in the back of his mind.“Drink up, drink up!” Dax lifted his wine glass and shouted, “You all have to promise not to force the alcohol out with Internal Energy! Then, we’ll see who has the worst tolerance!”“Who’s afraid of you? Drink!” They clinked their glasses and downed the wine. They did not have enough wine, so they swapped their glasses for bowls instead. They drank bowl after bowl of wine.It was said that men bonded through alcohol. That was the truth.They did not know how much they had drunk. Suddenly, Chester lifted his bowl as he stood up and declared, “Darryl, Dax, it is my honor to have known you two. Shall we officially become sworn brothers?” “Yes!” They looked at each other and laughed.Dax slammed the table. “Brother Chester, I have the same thought! Haha!”Ever since Callum Web transferred all his Internal Energy to Dax, he had a sudden affin
In the kitchen, Adina wore an apron as she was busy chopping carrots. There were hints of sweat on her beautiful face. She knew that Chester wanted to treat his brothers to dinner, so she had to serve them well.A maidservant approached her and said, “Mistress, Master wants you to join them for dinner.”Adina smiled and nodded. “Okay, you head over first. I’ll come when I finish this dish.”The maidservant nodded. She took out a handkerchief and dabbed the sweat off Adina’s face before she left.Ten minutes later, the dish was finally done. She carefully held the plate in her hands and headed toward the main hall where Chester was.She was halfway there when she heard a woman’s cries coming from Darryl’s room. She stopped dead in her tracks.‘Wasn’t Darryl drinking with Chester and Dax? Why were there sounds of a woman coming from his room?’ thought Adina.She was curious, so she pushed the door open. She was stunned by what she saw—a beautiful woman tied up on a chair, crying t
“Say, what are you up to? Why are you letting me go?” Megan clenched her jaw and kicked Adina.Adina was lying on the floor, her breath weak. There was blood splattered everywhere. Megan’s kick made her bleed more.“The Eternal Life Palace is evil! Find a better man in your next life. Don’t marry filth anymore,” Megan spat coldly.Seeing how Adina could not reply, she kept her sword and ran downhill.She did not regret killing Adina. She was angry that she was caught, and there was no one else to take out her anger on. Adina was the wife of the Sect Master. Killing her was getting rid of evil. Adina deserved it! In the main hall, the three brothers drank lots of wine. There were many empty jars on the table.Darryl’s phone rang all of a sudden. It was from Zephyr Dixon.Darryl was surprised. Zephyr would not have called him out of the blue. Was Elysium Gate be in trouble? He quickly answered the call.Zephyr beamed excitedly, “Master, good news!”Hearing his excitement, Darry
A self-proclaimed righteous sect learned the evil Dark Method. How dare they still pretend to be self-righteous?Dax was seething with rage. “Darryl, don’t think about it too much. We’ll find Leroy tomorrow!” Chester nodded, “Yes! Let’s go together!” Darryl nodded, somewhat touched by their reactions. He was extremely fortunate to have met these two brothers in his life.“By the way, where is Adina?” Chester frowned as he asked the maidservant.The maidservant quickly answered, “Master, mistress said she would come after she finished the last dish. She should have finished long ago. Should I go call for her again?”“Don’t need to rush her. We’ve also finished eating.” Chester waved in dismissal. Adina must be exhausted from preparing a feast.Darryl nodded and smiled. “Yes, let her rest. She has worked hard hosting us!”They clinked their glasses again. It was almost ten at night by the time they decided to call it a night. Chester was drunk.“I can’t take it anymore…” Chest
“Adina… Adina…”Chester wailed as he hugged Adina tightly, tears falling non-stop. It was heart-wrenching. Chester already had a hard time accepting Callum Webb’s death. After becoming sworn brothers with Dax and Darryl, he cheered up but seeing Adina’s dead body was another bullet straight to the heart.“Adina, don’t scare me. I beg of you to open your eyes. Please…” Chester’s voice was hoarse. He was trembling.Darry and Dax’s mind went blank. They instantly sobered up. Chester mentioned that Adina lived on the Eternal Life Island most of the time. She was a vegetarian who would not even step on an ant. She was the kindest soul with no enemies. Furthermore, she was the Sect Master’s wife. Who would do this to her?Dax and Darryl looked at each other with anger in their eyes. Chester had just mentioned how he and Adina came a long way and how he was guilty that he could not give her a better life, so he spoiled her as much as he could. Who knew Adina would be found lying in a
This needed no thought—someone from Emei must have killed Adina and accidentally dropped her jade pendant! There was only one woman from the Emei sect in the entire Eternal Life Island—Megan Castello! Darryl took a deep breath. He had seen this pendant when he entered Megan’s house the first time. She told Darryl that she was from the Emei sect.“Go and see if that woman, Megan Castello, is still in the room. Go!” Chester yelled.“Yes… yes, master!” A few maidservants quickly ran off. They returned not long after.They explained timidly, “Master, that Emei woman has freed herself and left.”Chester trembled in anger. “Emei! I will make sure all of your followers die together with my wife!” he yelled.Loud thunder rumbled, and heavy rain poured from the sky.Chester hugged Adina tightly. He stood up slowly and walked toward the backyard.Megan escaped Eternal Life Island on a fishermen’s ship. Riding on the vast ocean, she sat on the deck, looking determinedly at the Eternal Li
As she heard Megan berate Darryl, she smiled. “You’ve finally come to your senses. I am happy. I have told you before that Darryl is a piece of filth.”Abbess Mother Serendipity frowned. “One Darby is an Eternal Life Palace member, another is Elysium Gate’s Indomitable Darby. These two Darbys are pests of our world.”Megan did not say anything, only nodding in agreement.The Abbess patted Megan’s shoulder. “The Eternal Life Palace needs to be destroyed, of course, but we have an even more important matter now. The Six orthodox sects have gathered at Hexad’s to discuss the Judgement Day plan. Come with me tomorrow.”Judgement Day? Megan was confused.Abbess Mother Serendipity grinned. “The Judgement Day plan is a scheme to destroy Elysium Gate. Its Sect Master, Indomitable Darby, has insulted the Six sects. We have to get our revenge by destroying their sect!”The most humiliating thing was that Indomitable Darby forced her to get married to Wudang Sect’s Master Leonard at the Wis
