He was sending the message behind his desk, so how did she realize? Darryl let out a sigh. “Miss Katherine, I wasn’t playing with my phone. I’m just checking the time.” With that, he was about to keep his phone. “Don’t you talk back when you’ve made a mistake. Give me the phone,” Katherine declared with a cold tone that made it obvious her order was non-negotiable. She snatched his phone. “Darryl, you’re already a live-in son-in-law. Why do you show no remorse? You should appreciate the opportunity to study at The Hexad School and work hard. Others can fool around because they’re from wealthy families; even if they don’t succeed, it’s okay. But you? You’re fooling around. No wonder everyone’s laughing at you!” Katherine turned and walked back to the podium. Darryl was helpless, and he mumbled, “What’s so bad about being a live-in son-in-law? I’m living just fine.” Although his voice was soft, Katherine heard it clearly, and so did the students around him. ‘Huh? The ki
The Oriental Pearl was the best hotel in the city. Of course, he had to pick the best hotel since it was their first gathering. Hearing that they were going to the Oriental Pearl, the class was in an uproar. Everyone walked out of the classroom happily. Once they got out of school, everyone went into their cars. Since most of the students were from wealthy families, most of them drove here and offered a ride to those who did not come with a car. Since Lily sent Darryl here this morning, he needed a ride from someone else, but most of the cars were filled up by now. Darryl glanced around and saw that Declan’s car still had an empty seat. Declan was driving, and Miles was sitting in the passenger’s seat. In the back were Dax’s cousins, Daisy and Daphne, and there was an empty seat. Darryl pulled open the car door and was about to go in, but Daisy pushed him away and looked at him with disgust. “Darryl, can’t you go with someone else?” “Why? All the other cars are filled up. I
Watching the scene, Drake Darby could not restrain his excitement and said to Old Master Darby, “Dad, the Big Dipper Formation is so well choreographed! Their attacks and defenses were tight and solid. With this formation, the Darby family will live in glory!” Although the three of them were only Level Three Masters, with the power of this formation, they would be able to fight a Martial Marquis! Old Master Darby smiled as he exclaimed with happiness, “The Big Dipper Formation is indeed one of the best formations.” Once they finished practicing, Florian kept his sword and walked toward him with excitement. “Grandpa, what do you think?” “Good, good, very good! You have all improved a lot lately. This is all beyond my expectations. I’m very pleased, and I’m sure you all will bring glory to the Darby family,” Old Master Darby praised with a smile.Florian was overjoyed by what Old Master Darby said.“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ll work even harder!” he promised. Old Master Darb
If these Emei followers stayed at the Darby mansion, Florian might even stand a chance with some of them. Or so he thought. Hearing that, Yumi came up behind him and pinched him. “What are you so excited about?” Yumi knew her husband well enough to understand how perverted his mind was. If he wasn’t perverted, he would not have assaulted Rebecca. This useless trash must have seen that the Abbess Mother Serendipity was gorgeous and began having dirty thoughts about her. “What? I’m just concerned that the Emei followers have nowhere else to stay, and I feel bad for them,” Florian answered with a straight face. Yumi stared at him but remained silent. Old Master Darby waved his hand and smiled at the Abbess Mother Serendipity, “Alright, you all may stay at my mansion. Shaolin and Emei have always had a good relationship, which will further improve our bond, so why not? We have plenty of rooms here anyway.” Since they were all here already, he had no choice but to agree. T
Circe remained emotionless as she nodded and kept her phone, stepping to the side. The situation became awkward as it became apparent that they would not be able to dine here after all. Even Circe could not get in, so it was unlikely that anyone else could. By then, many of the girls shook their heads in disappointment, and so did Darryl. He was standing at the end of the crowd, so nobody saw him. Suddenly, he walked toward the staff member with a card in his hand. “Hello, could you please check if you can open a room with this card?” Wayne gave him this card a while ago, and he always carried it with him but never used it. ‘Huh? Was this live-in son-in-law going crazy? Haha!’ everyone thought. The VIP room at the Oriental Pearl was the most luxurious room in the entire city and the only room that could fit over 50 guests. ‘Declan and Circe could not get in, so what was this trash doing here? Is he joking around again?’ people thought. A few girls laughed, covering the
‘Perhaps he stole the card?’ Declan wondered. Watching doubt cross everyone’s face, Darryl replied. “It’s not mine. It’s my boss’.” At first, everyone remained silent, but seconds later, everyone burst into laughter. ‘Hahaha! So it was his boss’,’ everyone thought. ‘Haha! It was his boss’ after all! He was just a kid playing around with his boss’s card! What an opportunist!’ Declan thought. ‘Damn you all! I’m kind enough to get you the room, and you guys decide to mock me for that? Whatever. Why would I care about these people,’ Darryl thought as he smiled. After going inside the room, Declan asked the waiters to enter.“Come here. Everyone, please pick some dishes. I want everyone to have a great time tonight!” he announced. Swiftly, the waiters brought them the menus. Since Katherine was there, nobody dared to pick anything, and they all handed her the menus. Katherine smiled, appearing less strict than she was back in class, as she pushed the menus away. “I’m f
Circe sat there cold and silently like a blooming orchid, exuding an air of grace that stood out from the crowd. Though nobody found her weird or peculiar, many of the guys wanted to know her better, but they did not have the courage to do so. Everyone was getting in the mood, and Declan stood up smilingly with an elegant box in his hands. He walked towards Katherine and said politely, “Miss Katherine, today happens to be the Teacher’s Day, and I’d like to thank you for being our teacher. This is a gift for you.” Suddenly, the room was filled with exclamations of amazement. Declan was well-prepared, indeed. He even prepared a gift for Miss Katherine. It was quite clear that he was determined to become the class monitor. Katherine remained calm and smiled. “Declan, I’m already very pleased that you’re treating us to dinner. I can’t accept this.” Declan was indeed a bright, smart, and likable student. He even knew today was Teacher’s Day and prepared her a gift. However, so many
Miles chimed in, insulting Darryl. “ A mere live-in son-in-law—how dare you question Declan’s elixir? You’re just jealous, aren’t you.”Darryl snickered as he looked at Declan.“Indeed, the elixir you gave her was the Spirit Petrification Elixir. However, did you know that this elixir needs to be kept in a dark, cool, and humid environment? It cannot be exposed to the sun. The Spirit Petrification Elixir is originally a deep dark yellow color. It turns light yellow when exposed to the sun. Since yours is light yellow, I assume it was already exposed to the sun by the time you purchased this from the wandering cultivator,” Darryl explained nonchalantly. The room fell silent.“So what if it has been exposed to the sun?” Declan questioned with a laugh. “Is it still effective?”‘This pretentious Darryl—thinking that people would believe the nonsense he spews.’Darryl shook his head. “I don’t think it will lose its effect, but there will be some changes in its properties.”“What would
