The men were shocked at Megan’s reaction. They sized her up—high heels, white shirt, and a body-hugging skirt. She was as gorgeous as a movie star! “I’m a cop! Put down your weapons!” Megan said coldly. Cop? The men’s expression darkened. They looked at each other, then surrounded Megan. Darryl’s head hurts. This woman had no weapon on her, yet she dared to stand up to them? He slapped his forehead, then silently crept toward them. “Brothers, tie her up!” the leader howled. This was an unexpected gift! She was too beautiful. The men smiled devilish and approached Megan with a rope. ‘This woman is such a troublemaker,’ thought Darryl. He sighed, then rushed forward. “Megan, look after the rest, I’ll deal with the robbers!” yelled Darryl. He punched the first robber in the face. The robber could barely react and his body flew across and passed out. What?! Knocking someone unconscious with only one punch? Was he not a useless live-in son-in-law? How was he so strong?
‘To dodge or not to dodge, that was the question!’In the fraction of a second, Darryl decisively chose the latter.As Megan exclaimed, she noticed the female student. Suddenly, her heart quivered.He… was willing to take the bullets for someone irrelevant.Megan gave Darryl a strange gaze.Thoughts were spinning in Megan's mind when the camouflaged man pulled the trigger. Bang!Accompanied by a shocking sound, Darryl's body fell backward and blood shot out from his left shoulder.Darryl took in a sharp inhale when the pain attacked him! However, he gritted his teeth to stop him from making any sound. He retreated a few steps back and had his eyes fixed on the camouflaged man, he cracked a smile. "Your gun skill is not that good."While talking, Darryl tore a piece of cloth from his body and quickly wrapped it over his wound.The entire lobby of the bank was dead silent.Those people who were lying on the ground had their mouths agape and eyes staring wide in astonishment.
The robbers’ van sped toward the outskirts. The robbers in the car removed the black cloth on their heads one by one.Their eyes flashed with excitement when they saw the big bags of money in the back of the van. "We have got a problem, Brother Walter. The brat and the policewoman are behind us."A robber glanced back inadvertently and noticed the car behind them, he shouted at the camouflaged man in panic.The other robbers quickly looked around to check, their expressions changed drastically. There were so many of them in the bank, yet they were unable to subdue the brat. Instead, Darryl managed to counter-attack them. Besides, Darryl seemed to be just fine even after he took a shot from Brother Walter!"What up? Don’t tell me that you guys are afraid of a brat like him! Drive up the mountain. The mountain has a poor signal. Even if they call up the police, it will not be easy for them to locate us." The camouflaged man called Brother Walter wore a grim expression and rebuked i
He was piqued to be humiliated by the young brat in front of him."What? Am I wrong? Let the child go if you still have a teeny bit of guilty conscience and humanity." Darryl kept his straight face and said as he continued to approach the robbers. "Motherf*cker! Stop it, you f*cking stop right there!" Lance shouted, hatred ablaze in his eyes.‘What is Darryl doing?’Megan wondered anxiously. She was all tensed up. She thought that Darryl must be out of his mind. What if the robber were flurried and they ended up hurting the innocent child?Darryl cracked a smile. "To be honest, I admire your courage. You dare to rob the bank with just a few members. However, it's shameful to take a little girl as a hostage. Your goal is just to escape, isn’t it? What if you take me as a hostage instead and release the little girl."Lance did not respond, his eyes fired up in intense rage.Darryl smiled indifferently and continued, "You hate me, don’t you? This little girl is innocent, and you h
"You… your wound..."Megan walked up to Darryl quickly. She asked about his wound anxiously. "It's okay." Darryl shook his head, looking relaxed.In fact, he was just holding the pain in.His wound was affected when he wielded the Bloody Drinking Sword earlier, he was in a lot of pain.Megan nodded and said nothing more. She still looked very worried through her eyes when she took the little girl into the car.The moment Darryl got into his car, he felt a burst of unbearable pain spread from his shoulder. He cursed silently. The bullet was stuck in his wound for a long time. If he did not get it out in time, he might lose too much blood.Instead of starting the car engine, he untied the cloth wrapped around his shoulder and used his internal energy to force the bullet out.When the bullet popped out of his wound, Darryl quivered in pain. His forehead was covered with sweat! ‘F*ck! Fortunately, I became a cultivator. Otherwise, I might be incapacitated if the bullet is left in
Megan bit her lips and stopped talking when she noticed that Darryl was looking at her with a smile.‘Have I cared too much about him?’"It's really not necessary. It's already late at night and the doctors are off work.""Then… your wound, how are you going to deal with it?" Megan frowned. She was quiet for a while before saying softly, "Why don't you go to my house? I'll help you clean up the wound and apply some medication."Darryl laughed and teased her, "Why do you care so much about me? Are you afraid that I will die?""I..." Megan panicked for no reason. "After all, you were injured because of me..."It was already late at night. Megan knew that it was inappropriate to invite a man to her house at such late hours. However, he was injured. How could his wound be left untreated? And it was exactly because of her that he was injured…Darryl nodded. "Well, it's okay if you want me to go to your house and treat my wound, but you have to promise me one condition.""What is
She saw Darryl start to undress and lay on the couch.“You!” Megan glared at him but ended up just leaving him to his own devices since he was going to sleep on the couch.Meanwhile, Darryl took out his phone while lying down. There was a reason behind him sleeping there.It was already quite late. If he were to return home now, Lily would not be able to sleep well again. Besides, he would have also disturbed Samantha who would later grumble at him.Not long after, Megan walked out and pointed toward the couch. “You shall sleep here tonight. Behave yourself and don’t go walking around.”After braving herself to say that, Megan quickly walked into her bedroom.Soon, she was holding her clothes and walking towards the bathroom.She hesitated when she was about to close the door and gave Darryl a glare.Without waiting for her to speak, Darryl smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t peep.”Megan’s face turned red with her heart racing as she quickly closed the door.The sound of
Why did it feel like she was asking Darryl out on a date in the middle of the night?Darryl shook his hands and said, “No need, I’ll get it from you tomorrow.”Yvonne was slightly disappointed upon hearing that and gently said, “Fine then, I’ll wait for your call tomorrow.”Megan also walked out of the bathroom at that moment when he hung up his phone.Although she was dressed in a conservative set of pajamas, it could not hide that sexy body of hers.Her damped long hair resting on her shoulders and rosy cheeks after the hot bath made her look really attractive.Darryl could not stop staring at her as he finally understood the meaning of the word ‘alluring’.Megan felt the heat from Darryl’s stare as she looked at him and asked, “You’re still not asleep?”Darryl smiled. “I’m waiting for you to appraise my sword.”He took out the Blood Drinking Sword as he spoke.Under the hall’s dim lights, the Blood Drinking Sword was shining with an unusual bloodied-colored glow. There was
