Chapter 87
“Come, Darryl, Sit here.” Megan smiled. She pulled a chair next to her while ignoring the judgemental glares from the others. Darryl was about to leave, but he was touched by Megan’s sincerity. He sat down calmly. “Meg love, why are you friends with him?” Kent came to his senses—he asked confusedly. Megan sighed gently, “Kent, can you not judge a book by it’s cover? In my eyes, everyone is the same. So what if Darryl Darby is living with his in-laws? Does that mean I can’t be friends with him?” explained Megan patiently. Kent was struck dumb. Megan shook her head and took the Godly pill from her bag. “Kent, weren’t you stuck at Level Five Master for some time now? This pill can help you. Darryl gave it to me.” “Whoa!” They were astounded by Megan’s remarks. A few of these bunch of rich brats are Cultivators as well, though only beginners as they just started practicing cultivation. After all, their family is willing to spend the money to let them become Cultivators. They a

“Oh wow, working for someone. Haha!” Kent nodded exaggeratedly. The waiter started serving. Due to Megan’s outrage, Kent was less sharp-tongue. However, he still tried to find various topics to deliberately embarrass Darryl, with back-up from the other rich brats as they chime in cooperatively. Megan could take it no longer, she excused herself to the washroom. The minute she left, Kent sprung onto Darryl. “Dude, if I were you, I would get out of here as soon as possible. What good will come of you staying here? Do you even know what type of place this is? Oriental Pearl is the finest hotel in Donghai City. Who are you to eat here?” The rest slammed the table in agreement. Their girlfriends smiled mockingly at Darryl. The others interjected, “Yeah if it weren’t for our sis-in-law, do you think we’d really be your friends?” “F*ck off, us letting you overstay your welcome in the dining room is already a huge courtesy to you.” “You unworthy live-in son-in-law, who do you thi

Kent Hough stood up straight, thinking he looked handsome, he said, “President Woodall, I’m glad to meet y-” Kent froze. Wayne did not even look at him but walked straight toward Darryl. “Mr. Darby, you called, what can I help you with?” What? Mr. Darby? Wayne Woodall actually acknowledged this live-in son-in-law with an honorific? Everyone’s jaw dropped, they were all bewildered. How is it possible that a loser like Darryl would be of acquaintance with a person like Wayne Woodall? Just when everyone is still recoiling from shock, Darryl smiled gently, nodded towards Wayne. “Nothing special, just wanted to see you,” said Darryl. “Mr. Darby, you’re too kind!” Wayne laughed politely. He scanned the room and suddenly seemed to understand the situation. He added, “Mr. Darby, you should’ve told me beforehand that you’ll be coming. I would’ve prepared for you.” At that, Wayne waved towards the waiter, “Tell your manager to waive all expenses in this box.” What? All free? Ken

Darryl laughed lightly. “It’s fine, I had nothing to do there anyway, plus I wasn’t hungry.” Megan was apologetic. “I’m so sorry. Kent and the others, they are just like that. Please don’t mind them.” Darryl shrugged, “It’s fine, I’ve met many of his types.” He glanced at Megan, and hesitated. “But, do you think you and Kent Hough are a match?” It was none of his business, Darryl should not have brought it up, but he does not know what overcame him. Megan did not reply, but she seemed stiff and awkward. The truth is, Megan does not dislike Kent, but she has no feelings for him either. It is mainly due to the fact that they both have similar family social standings, they have known each other for a long time, and on top of that, both of their families heavily approve of them being together, hence why she reluctantly agreed to be with Kent. However, she has a clear stance—no sex before marriage, hold hands at most. Megan pivoted to another topic, and said, “Hey let’s go. I’ll s

Megan tried not to panic. She glared at the young man in the front seat and asked, “Who are you? Where are you bringing us to?” This young man—clearly the leader—looked evil. He turned around, and replied with a devilish smile, “Officer Castello, you arrested so many of my men, of course, I had to do something.” “You…you’re from the Grandmaster Heaven Cult?” Megan exclaimed. It was as if she suddenly understood something. “Gr…Grandmaster Heaven?” Kent was flabbergasted. He started to panic. Darryl on the other hand frowned, ‘Grandmaster Heaven Cult? What powers do they have and why have I not heard of them before?’ he thought. “As expected of Donghai City’s Criminal Investigation Team Leader, you got it right away. Not bad, not bad at all,” the leader smiled. “I won’t beat around the bush. My name is Skyler Burr, I am the Head of the Donghai City Branch. Officer Castello, in just a month you’ve arrested tens of my men. It’s payback time.” Megan bit her lip. Everyone knows t

At Kent’s response, Megan has no words. She shook her head silently. Skyler laughed mischievously, “Officer Castello, you’ve got to be kidding me! I took such a huge effort to kidnap you three, why should I let them go at your command?” He looked at Kent and said, “I know you, you’re one of Donghai City’s rich brat, Kent Hough isn’t it?” Kent nodded his head frantically, trying to appease Skyler, he offered, “Yes, I am! If you let me go, I’ll give you money! Just name your price! I’ll give it all to you!” Skyler laughed, “Afraid of death, are you? I heard you and Officer Castello got engaged. Am I right? As a man, don’t you want to save your fiancée?” Kent opened his mouth, but no words came out. He swallowed hard. Must be still in shock. Skyler ignored him and turned to Darryl, “To be able to have a meal with Young Master Kent, you must be rich too.” Darryl could not understand what Skyler meant by that, he frowned. Skyler continued with a twisted smile, “Alright, you tw

Amid the panic, Darryl wanted to cultivate his Inner Force. However, the effect of the powder he inhaled before was too strong, his strength had not recovered. Darryl was in despair. His palm was being forced open, one of the men lifted a knife. The man was about to swing the knife down when Skyler howled, “F*ck, Stop!” The man stopped in mid-air. He looked confused but took a step back nevertheless. Skyler immediately walked toward Darryl and took a good look at the ring on Darryl’s left thumb. “Where did you get this thumb ring from?” he exclaimed. Skyler could not suppress the agitation in his heart. He was familiar with this black and white jade ring, it is the symbol of one of the Six Orthodox Sects and Clans—The Tianshan. Though Tianshan might belong to one of the Six and was considered a respectable clan, they—like the Grandmaster Heaven Cult—are more morally ambiguous. Furthermore, those in the higher order of the cult know that Tianshan and Grandmaster Heaven have an

Darryl secretly scanned his surroundings. He realized that the decor here is much more intricate than the rest. This must be their resting area. As if right on cue, Darryl’s stomach growled. He did not eat much at the Oriental Pearl, only had a few cups of tea. He felt a little embarrassed.Skyler was an observant man. He chuckled, “My lord, please wait a while. I’ll get my men to prepare some food and wine. We’ll drink till we drop! Haha! By the way, Lord East King, after drinking we can each take turns on that Megan Castello. She’s really attractive! Haha!” “Right, right,” dismissed Darryl. As Skyler left, Darryl realized that it is a good time to walk around, to attempt to locate the exit. The guards did not stop Darryl as left the room but bowed to him. Darryl got bolder, but to not create any suspicion, he did not return to the main hall—he followed the tunnels, exploring while contemplating his next step. How is he going to rescue Megan once he finds the exit?Darryl real
