There were two cups of tea, fragrance wafting in the air.A man sat opposite Drake. The man looked like he could be in either his thirties or his fifties. Wearing a Taoist robe, with a topknot on his head, this man seemed just, yet there was an ambiguous devilish aura to him as well. This man was Brian Cunningham, also known as Priest Brian to others.“My fellow priest, it is a huge honor to have you grace us with your presence,” Drake said, lifting a cup to him in salute. Two days ago, Drake sent a message to Brian. He expected Brian to arrive a few days later only for him to turn up unexpectedly the next day. Brian smiled and waved his hands, he said, “With our friendship, there is no need to be polite. What urgent matters have you summoned me here for?” Drake took a deep breath, then said, “I want the entire Darby clan to start cultivating.” As he said that, he fumed with rage at Darryl for the commotion he caused previously.Brian’s eye sparkled, he laughed and said, “Do
“My good younger sister, why are you so sweet today?” Darryl said as he laughed. He asked, “What can I help you with?”Megan bit her lip and whispered, “Have…have you heard of the Eternal Life Palace sect?”Eternal Life Palace? The grandfather and granddaughter at the auction just now were from this sect. They were one of the two main cults.“Yes, I’ve just heard of it. What happened?” Darryl asked.“I need you to help me investigate it,” Megan replied softly.Donghai City was in chaos recently. A few days ago, the Grandmaster Heaven cult set up a branch here, followed by the Eternal Life Palace. With the two huge cults setting up their presence here in Donghai City, this city would soon be going to the dogs.Thank goodness the Grandmaster Heaven had simmered down recently. Hall Master Skyler Burr has not been seen for many days now.Unfortunately, the Eternal Life Palace sect has been stepping out of bounds. After setting up a branch, they have been doing all sorts of evil and
‘F*ck, I’ve never stolen anything before,’ thought Darryl solemnly.“Why theft? Thievery is so degrading!” Darryl said sharply. Truth be told, ever since he was young, Darryl despised petty thieves. You have a set of hands and legs, why take something that was not yours?Megan looked at Darryl defenselessly, she replied, “Do you have any better ideas?”Darryl smiled slyly, he sized Megan up and said, “How about me attacking a policewoman, or even touching her inappropriately…”Megan blushed, she glared at Darryl and said, “I’m being serious!”“Fine, I’ll stop with the jokes. Let me think of another way. I want to enter prison with dignity. I heard that the inmates all look down on thieves,” said Darryl seriously.Megan nodded. “What other ways then?” she asked.Darryl offered a few suggestions such as beating someone up or a hit and run. Megan rebuffed all of those. In the end, he could only reluctantly agree to steal. Darryl then texted Pearl a message, instructing her to man
“I’m not his sister but I know him well. He would never do such a thing!” Shelly said gently.“But the facts are facts. He did commit theft,” said the police. He turned to Darryl’s parents and said, “Your son really did steal some phones.”The undercover action was highly secretive, no other person should know about this. Hence, according to their standard operating procedures, they needed to inform family members.Luna tensed as she said in disbelief, “Darryl stealing phones? Impossible. He is the president of a corporation and is highly successful. Why would he do such a thing? This has to be a mistake.”Daniel—on the bed—was flustered. He chimed in, “Yes! This must be a mistake. Darryl despised thieves ever since he was young. Why would he become one?”The police handed them the file and said professionally, “That I wouldn’t know, but if you think we got the wrong person, please have a look at the file.”Luna and Daniel were floored when they saw the photo of Darryl wearing an
Prison.The inmates have three periods of free time daily, all of them after meals. There were a few huge blokes playing basketball on the court. Though mediocre at it, they were equally excited just to be playing.Those who were not playing basketball would cheer them on at the side. Except for one person. He would sit by the court, and be engrossed in reading.He looked like he was in his thirties or forties. With his hair parted down the middle, he was as geeky could be.When Darryl came in, he was immediately interested in this person due to the fact that he chose to read instead of taking part in other activities during his free time. Darryl secretly took a peek at the photo that Megan gave him of Chester, turns out that the guy reading was his target!That cannot be true, the person that Megan described is a high ranking member of the Eternal Life Palace sect, he should look extremely powerful. Whereas the guy in front of him had a weak aura, perhaps only a Level One Master?
“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what our leader said? Pick up the bloody ball! You hear me?”“How dare you glare at Trent! Are you looking for trouble?”A few of Trent’s followers glared threateningly at Chester, ready to attack him at a moment’s notice.Upon witnessing the scene, Darryl let out a cold laugh. He could no longer take it that those people are so openly bullying Chester. Chester did nothing wrong.Trent turned around and met Darryl’s eyes. He was shocked, then he fumed with rage, “Motherf*cker, it’s you?! Why do I keep seeing you!” He rushed forward to fight Darryl. Bloody hell, it was because of Darryl that he ended up in prison. Now that he met him here, he was going to kill him! He was about to hit Darryl when he stopped abruptly.‘F*ck, what is happening? Wasn’t he only a Level Two Master previously? How has he leveled up to Level Four Master in such a short time? I can’t beat him alone,’ thought Trent.He waved his hands to his followers and commanded, “Brothe
Chester’s face twitched intensely. He could take it no longer. He stood up, glared at Trent with bloodshot eyes, and said, “We all live under the same roof, what’s the matter with you?!”He had never suffered like this at the Eternal Life Palace sect, who would dare bully a high-rank member like him?“Wow, the nerd is angry, and I dare say a little snobbish!” Trent jeered.Then he slapped Chester across the face.Slap! It was not too big a hit, but everyone heard it.Chester clenched his fist. He stayed silent for almost a minute, then with murderous intent said, “When I leave this place, I will kill your entire family.” He swept Trent and his men with his deadly glare.Everyone gasped. This nerdy weakling’s threats were actually terrifying.Trent came to his senses, spat on the floor, and said, “Bloody f*ck, are you threatening me? You b*stard!”He rushed forward and was about to hit Chester when the female prison guard stopped him. Then, he decided to leave things be. Until
Trent howled in pain as he nodded in defeat and said, “Understood, I fully understood!”‘Bloody hell, I’m not stupid. That Darryl just got lucky that he leveled up so quickly. When I get out of here, I’m going to myself some Elixirs, you watch out then!’ thought Trent.The prison guard came to her senses, she took one more look at Darryl, and said softly, “Alright, it’s late. Everyone go back to bed! Do go looking for trouble!” Then she left.Chester could finally breathe. He got up and walked to Darryl. He cupped his fist in salutation and said gratefully, “Thank you for saving my life! I am forever in your debt!”‘Haha! He talks in such a polite, studious way! This person is quite interesting!’ thought Darryl.He waved his hands and replied, “It’s nothing, I just can’t stand bullies.” Then he went back to bed casually. Darryl did not want to make the first move as this was the only way he could wipe out any potential suspicion from Chester.He was right.Seeing Darryl’s noncha
