"My name is Jewel." The little beggar responded in a low voice as she looked at Darryl. "Mister, I did steal two steamed buns, but the buns were only worth two pennies. The ring you gave to the restaurant owner could pay for thousands of steamed buns. Please, go get the ring back!"Even though she was only a young lady, she was very knowledgeable.Darryl's ring had exquisite workmanship. It was evidently not an ordinary item at first glance. They were mere strangers, so she wondered why she deserved such a big favor? "You stinky beggar! Shut up!" The restaurant owner was angry. He had already gotten the ring, how could he give it away so easily? The owner glared at Jewel fiercely. "Scumbag! Do you think you have a say here? How dare you steal my steamed buns! I'm already doing you a favor by not killing you."Jewel was not timid at all; she glared at him."How dare you glare at me? Maybe we did not beat you enough just now..." The restaurant owner rolled up his sleeves as he rush
Chapter 736
She knew a lot about the Great East continent, but she did not know that there were other continents in the world.Jewel still struggled with what happened earlier, and she said gloomily, "I feel so bad, Mister. I have stolen two steamed buns, and because of that, you gave your ring to the restaurant owner. That ring looked expensive, and it must be worth a lot of buns, but you used it to pay for only two buns..."Jewel pouted as she talked; she also looked dejected.Darryl was amused by her persistency and said, "The ring is still here with me. I haven't given it to him at all."Darryl stretched his hand out and flipped it around to show her the ring that was still in his hand. Darryl had noticed that the restaurant owner looked aggressive and menacing, so he had used the Shadow Skill to steal the ring back. That was not all; he also took the restaurant owner's money.When she saw the ring in Darryl's hand, Jewel gawked. She stared at Darryl blankly; she was unable to speak.W

"Mister, I'm willing to follow you and serve as your maid for forever," Jewel said with a huge smile.Darryl's journey became much more enjoyable with her around. Jewel was like a little tour guide who introduced Darryl to the places wherever they go. Darryl took Jewel to get new clothes because she was grimy and unkempt.After they bought the clothes, he brought her along to look for a place to stay. There was no available room in several inns that they went to until they found one in a high-end restaurant.Darryl sighed in relief. There was only one guest room left; he thought it was awkward for him and Jewel to be in the same room. As he hesitated, Jewel walked up to him. She tugged the corner of his sleeves and whispered, "Let's take this room, Mister..."It was already very late, so it was extremely hard to hunt for another inn. There was no guarantee they would find another room if they were to leave the restaurant.Darryl had no choice but to get the room. It seemed t

Darryl was amused. "Who told you that you are a maid?""I'm your maid, Mister," Jewel said firmly. "I am willing to serve you for a lifetime.""Alright." Darryl smiled bitterly. He picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth."Eat this quickly. This is an order.""Okay!" Jewel nodded. Then, she held the dumpling and took a bite out of it. She burst into tears.She had been a wanderer since she was a little girl. Every time she passed by the shop, she was eager to try the dumplings. She did not expect she could eat them one day; it was a sudden change of fate.Darryl looked at her and gave her a warm smile after he took a few bites. He said softly, "It's okay. Why are you so touched by the dumplings? I will buy it for you every day."That made Jewel cry even more and continued to do so for the meal's duration. After that, they left the restaurant together.Jewel asked curiously when they were outside. "Where are we going, Mister?"Darryl looked at the street in front of

"I'll go with you, Mister." Jewel took Darryl's arm with a firm expression. "Silly girl..." That gesture immediately touched Darryl. When he saw the scene in front of him, Marcus gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Take them both away since they're not afraid of death!" A few of his people tied Jewel up as well. Then they took them both to a dance hall. A salient word was printed on the wall of the dance hall—Wealth. The Wealth Dance Hall was the largest dance hall in the city. Many reporters gathered at the door; they were in the middle of an interview with an alluring and beautiful lady. That beautiful lady was Cheryl Marks—the lady Darryl peeked at when she was changing her clothes. Many rich men sought after her! Darryl noticed that the cameras in the reporters' hands were all old-fashion models. It came with a heavy tripod, and white smoke fumed out of it after they took one photo. Click, click… With the cameras' constant clicking sound, those reporters were e

Marcus glared at Darryl. "This brat wears such weird clothes. He must be from the film industry, perhaps one of those who played the small random roles. There is no need to be so distressed about such an unimportant person. My heart would ache for you if anything were to happen." "Cheryl, something bad has happened!" Someone yelled as they pushed the door ajar and walked in with a panic expression. "Cheryl, I just got the news that Mister Zayn had been killed." What? Cheryl was shaken when she heard that; she looked at the man and asked, "Mister Joseph Zayn is dead?" "Yes..." Cheryl was anxious. She said nervously, "What should I do? It doesn't matter that he is dead, but he promised to write a new song for me. Now that he is dead, who will write my new song?" The Great East Continent had four sects—the Sword Sect, the Jade Sect, the Elixir Sect and the Artemis Sect. Joseph Zayn was the Artemis Sect's disciple. Even though the Artemis Sect was a cultivation sect, the

Did he demand her to kneel and address him as her master? Cheryl's expression changed drastically as she glared at Darryl. "Don't be too presumptuous..." Darryl shrugged. "Very well, I won't force you. You can call your fiancé to tie me up again. Even if I have a song, I won't give it to you." Cheryl bit her lips as she stared at Darryl; she gritted her teeth with hatred. She was unwilling to address Darryl as her master! However, the song he sang earlier sounded very nice. If she could sing the song on the stage the next day, she would definitely be even more popular. "I'll give you three seconds." Darryl said with a smile, "If you don't address me as your master in three seconds, you won't get another chance to do so." "Three." "Two" Cheryl bit her lip tightly; it almost bled. "One." Cheryl suddenly panicked and stomped her feet anxiously. "I promised you." Pfft… Cheryl's slender legs bent as she knelt in front of Darryl. She pressed her lips and said softly

Darryl waved his hand and smiled as he said, "I am not from the Artemis Sect. I have lived in the mountains for a long time and only recently came out of it." 'Oh, is that so?' Cherryl said respectfully, "In this case, I shall get them to clean a room for you, Master. You can stay in the Wealth Dance Hall temporarily." She had to perform on stage the next day, so she needed to quickly practice the new song. "Very well." Since it was already outside, Darryl agreed to that. As per Cherryl's arrangement, Darryl and Jewel were placed in a luxurious room on the second floor. As soon as he arrived in the room, Jewel quickly went to Darryl and asked, "Mister, why did Miss Marks call you master?" Jewel was perplexed. Darryl smiled slightly. "I taught her a song. Of course, she will have to address me as her master." "Mister, do you know how to write songs?" Jewel asked in a low voice. Darryl smiled as he patted her hair; he did not say another word. Before they went to
