“What thief?” Yvonne asked curiously as she overheard the Palmer sisters’ sneers.Daisy smiled and said, “Yvonne, didn’t you hear? Darryl stole someone’s handphone yesterday. You’d better stay away from that thief.”Yvonne smiled, not believing a single word. Darryl stealing phones? This was the funniest thing she ever heard.He could live comfortably for the rest of his life just by relying on his skill in authenticating antiques and artifacts. Why would he steal phones? Darryl ignored Daisy, completely engrossed in examining the piece of jade.“There is a carving of a foreigner playing a musical instrument. If I’m right, this should be from the jade carving of it. This jade is a gem, estimated to be worth roughly around one and a half million or so.”Lily’s face was filled with admiration as she heard Darryl’s analysis. “Darryl, you’re wonderful!” she cheered.How did she not know sooner that he knew so much about antiques?Yvonne was equally in awe as well. Even her father
Xavier King was a Level Five Master General from the Kunlun sect.His biggest problem was that he was a pervert. He lusted after women. He noticed Lily and Yvonne on the first day of school and tried getting close to them.He was unhappy that the two of them were so close with Darryl, so he threw the ball at him without a second thought.“I’m so sorry, the ball slipped!” Xavier smiled“It’s fine,” Darryl replied nonchalantly.Xavier picked up the ball and returned to the court.Darryl continued his conversation with Circe. “Sure, let’s discuss where to eat after school.”The belle of the school was buying him a meal. It would be dumb to not accept. As Circe left, she cheered silently, not showing it outwardly. She maintained her usual ice-cold composure. Lily hooked her arm around Darryl’s arm as she asked, “Why is she apologizing to you? Why is she buying you a meal?”Yvonne was curious as well. After all, Circe was the belle of the school. Plenty of men had tried to court
Xavier immediately withdrew his fist. “Oh, Miss Katherine,” he chuckled as he sized her up. Katherine was incredibly charming; her maturity immensely attractive.Lily let out a sigh of relief under her breath. Thank goodness, Miss Katherine came in time. If not, Darryl would have gotten a beating.After all, Xavier was a teacher. How could Darryl fight back?Katherine frowned. “Mister Xavier, what were you all doing?” she asked.She watched the entire scene unfold. “Nothing, we were just joking around.” Xavier laughed loudly.Katherine obviously did not buy any of his words. “I saw everything. Mister Xavier, as a PE teacher, how could you bully your students?” she accused coldly.Katherine also loathed Xavier. His perverse character was widely known among the Six orthodox sects.“Miss Katherine, you must be mistaken!” Xavier bitterly smiled while pretending to be innocent. “How could I bully a student? I was just playing with him. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the other
Katherine took a long breath before continuing, “The possibility of mastering these manuals are only one in a thousand. So, don’t get your hopes up in mastering these on this occasion.”How hard could it be?Darryl frowned. “Miss Katherine, when can I enter?” he asked“I can bring you there now,” she replied.“Miss Katherine, please wait here for a while,” Darryl interrupted. He ran back to Circe with an apologetic look on his face.“Circe, I’m so sorry," he apologized, "I have something on with Miss Katherine. It looks like I won’t be able to have a meal with you. Can we take a rain check?”Having a meal with a gorgeous woman was tempting, but who could resist mastering the manuals from one of the Six orthodox sects?"Okay." Circe unhappily nodded and replied bluntly. No man has ever rejected her! Darryl was the first.Half an hour later, Darryl followed Katherine to the library. The school bell had just rung, so many students had entered as well.They pushed through the crow
PURE ENERGY SCRIPTURE.The name seemed powerful! Darryl cheered happily. He impatiently flipped the manual open, reading a few sentences of small words on the first page.‘The Pure Energy Scripture belongs to the Shaolin sect, created by Bodhidharma. It is a masterpiece of the Internal Energy.’‘Internal Energy? Was this not about powerful skills?’Nevertheless, he continued flipping through the book, eventually becoming deeply engrossed in it.It did not turn out to be any ordinary Internal Energy book. It described in detail that if this skill was mastered, the user’s Internal Energy would become as pure as possible. That meant if one fully mastered the Pure Energy Scripture, they could easily overpower other cultivators of the same rank.At that, Darryl was ecstatic. He crossed his legs, lowered his energy field, and started cultivating.The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived two days later. The entire city was in a festive mood, with moon cakes being sold everywhere.Many people c
Granny Lyndon looked utterly embarrassed.“Mother, stop...” Lily pleaded softly.Lily continued, “Grandma, how would you want me to help you?”Granny Lyndon and William looked at each other. “Lily, if you give us some money to help the family business overcome this rough patch, we will be grateful,” she smiled.William added, “Of course, we will give you some of the shares.”Lily stayed silent in deep thought.Samantha continued her insults. “What shameless people! Did you forget that some of those shares were hers? You snatched it away from her. Now that you’ve run out of money, you come running to us.”“Mother, stop it!” Lily snapped, breaking her silence. She glanced at Granny Lyndon and agreed, “Fine, I agree to your terms.”She still has tens of millions with her. If she kept it any longer, it would be gone due to Samantha’s gambling addiction. She would rather spend it in exchange for some shares. However, she was determined not to be cheated by them this time.Granny Ly
Of course, Darryl knew that Atlantic Street would be packed to the brim with people. How was it possible that Paul booked the entire street? Then, his phone rang. It was from Lily.Lily asked, “Darryl, have you come out of the library?”Lily was walking on Atlantic Street when she thought of calling Darryl. She did not expect that he would pick up! Darryl laughed, hearing the hustle and bustle of the crowd on Lily’s end. “Yes, where are you?” he responded.“I’m at Atlantic Street with Jade and Phoebe. It’s crowded here! Come find us!” Lily exclaimed hopefully.How could Darryl say no? “Okay! Wait for me!” he answered.Lily hung up the call with her face filled with joy. The fact that she could see Darryl in a short while made her swoon!The taxi that Darryl hailed had barely reached Atlantic Street when it got stuck in traffic. Darryl got down and walked into the crowd. There were many stalls; the sellers were shouting to attract customers. Rows of lanterns decorated the entire
The fortune-teller thought of a solution. “To break your streak of bad luck is simple,” he explained. “Just pick a good day to get married.”Marriage?Megan was stunned, then she came to a realization. She blushed.The fortune-teller continued, “I just realized that this man next to you has the water element in him. You two are a match! You both are a couple, I assume?”Megan blushed as she nodded.The fortune-teller laughed, slapping his thigh. He pretended to calculate with his fingers and exclaimed, “That’s perfect! In the next six months, there will be two good days to have a wedding ceremony. Congratulations to the newlywed couple in advance!”At that, the fortune-teller let out a sigh of relief under his breath. He completed his mission.Kent smiled widely. He took the opportunity to fish out a box from his pocket and knelt on one knee. “Megan, marry me.” He opened the box to reveal a diamond ring. It sparkled under the lanterns.The crowd exclaimed in admiration. How rom
