Smack!Darryl smacked the fortune-teller’s face hard.“F*ck!”The fortune-teller cried out as he spun around from the impact. He fell onto the ground in a daze as blood poured from his nose.“You…”He pointed his finger at Darryl in anger and fear after recovering from the shock.“Darryl, what are you doing?” Kent shouted, “Why did you hit him? Don’t you have manners?”Megan was also panicking. “Darryl, why did you do that? His words weren’t good to hear, but he is a well-respected man. You are not treating him with respect by hitting him like that.”“Exactly!”The crowd agreed and started criticizing Darryl.“Lad, you shouldn’t have beaten a man of Taoism even if you are young and strong.”“Exactly…”Darryl ignored everyone and walked to the fortune-teller with a sinister smile. He grabbed onto his mustache and lifted him.Rip!Darryl forcefully pulled on the mustache, tearing it off the wailing fortune-teller.“See, his mustache was just stuck on.”Darryl tossed the m
Darryl smiled at Megan. “Be more alert next time. Most fortune-tellers out there are fake.”Megan nodded and continued softly, “By the way, do you have any Godly pills with you now?”She could never forget that!Darryl shook his head. “I don’t have any. Maybe next time.”He had just returned from the library. He had no time to go home, which was where he kept the pills.Disappointment flashed across Megan’s face as she nodded. “Alright then, I’ll contact you again. Can you bring some Godly pills with you next time?”Darryl nodded and bid farewell to her. He had to look for Lily.Megan grabbed her bag and walked in the opposite direction.“Meg, wait for me!” Kent shouted in panic, chasing after her.Megan was furious. She remembered that the fake fortune-teller shouted Kent’s name in his panic when she was about to arrest him. She knew that all of it was Kent’s doing.She was disappointed.He had once asked someone to act like a shark, and now he found someone to act as a for
Lily honestly thought that Darryl surprised her with the lanterns that had her name on them. Her guess was rebutted almost immediately. It was a huge project. Darryl would never put in the effort to do this.“Look, the lanterns have words on them!” Somebody called out.The crowd clamored. How romantic! They wondered who was the lucky girl!“It’d be great if someone wrote my name on those…” Some girls were envious.Phoebe walked to Lily and held her hand, “Lily, you’re really lucky!”Lily smiled and nodded to Justin. Although she did not have an interest in him, she was touched. She could sense that Justin was willing to put in the effort for her.Beaming with happiness, Justin smiled. “I’m willing to do anything to see you smile.”He could see that Lily was touched. That was a good sign to ask her out!Lily smiled and took out her phone to take a photo when she noticed a familiar figure walking toward her.She was elated and surprised! “Darryl!” Lily ran toward him with a cry
Justin became more agitated as he talked. He took out his phone as he snickered, “Darryl, you’re here just in time. I’ll show you what I can really do. Wait, the lanterns will show Miss Lily’s full name very soon.”He was even more pleased when he said, “They will not only show Miss Lily’s name, it will show mine too.”The nosy crowd exclaimed in surprise.‘Isn’t that a little too much? How is he able to show their names on all these lanterns? That guy’s indeed powerful!’Even Jade could not help but mutter, “Lily, Mister Quinn is such a romantic. He’s so much better than Darryl.”Jade was still baffled why Lily cared about that piece of trash so much. Justin Quinn was so much better! He was rich, and he was a romantic.Ignoring her, Lily held Darryl’s hand and said softly, “Darryl, let’s just go.”Since Justin could make the whole street light up with her name, he could make both their names appear.Lily wanted to leave as soon as she could to avoid the scene instead of stayin
It was complete silence!The street became exceptionally quiet as everyone fixed their gazes on Darryl.Lily stood there mystified with her heart almost jumping out of her chest.‘Is Darryl... going to perform for me on the spot? He never mentioned that he knew how to play the piano…’Darryl walked to the piano and took a seat. He stretched his fingers and gently placed them on the piano keys.Learning the piano was one of the compulsory skills in the Darby family. He learned to play the piano for two years with a world-famous pianist Baker when he was still with his family.However, it had been three or four years since the last time he practiced.A crew emerged from the crowd with a microphone when Darryl was seated and he placed it in front of Darryl.Four stylish men walked over and stood behind Darryl, each carrying a guitar.Wow.The crowd was boiling with enthusiasm at that instant.The four guitarists were not just anyone, they were the most popular rock band, FBY!
The Young family’s house, Donghai City.Yvonne who just had dinner with her family stood in front of the window by herself.She was uneasy because of her lack of Darryl’s information in the past two days.‘What is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about him every night although I’m well aware that he’s in love with Lily Lyndon?’She thought of how he helped her in evaluating valuables in Pearl Pavillion.She also thought of him courageously rescuing her from the shark during their outing.Then, she thought of his dauntless bravery while fighting off robbers.Those scenes were imprinted in Yvonne’s mind as if they were stamped.Explosive noises were heard as fireworks blossomed in the sky in Atlantic Street’s direction. The colorful lights lit up the sky in an instant.How beautiful.The fireworks grabbed Yvonne’s attention.Two names appeared in midst of the fireworks. Yvonne was stunned as she read them.They were Darryl and Lily’s names.‘Are they at Atlantic Street now?’
All the 30 men were cultivators! The strongest of them was a Level Five Master whereas the weakest was Level Three!Darryl was getting exhausted after some time. He would deplete his energy fully if this went on any longer!“Kill him, kill him!”Timothy was shouting his lungs out when he lunged at Darryl unexpectedly and thrust a dagger into Darryl’s back!Slash!Fresh blood was gushing out of his wound!“Darryl!”Lily saw what happened and got extremely worried, she could feel her heart at her throat. Anxiety was written all over her face.Darryl was slightly distracted because of Lily’s shout, Timothy smiled sinisterly and raised his dagger for another strike in that split second!He was aiming toward Darryl’s heart!“Look out!”Lily could not help but exclaimed when she noticed, she ran to Darryl and hugged him without thinking!Stab!The dagger was embedded into Lily’s back forcefully and blood spurted from the wound!“Lilybud!” Darryl held Lily and shouted as if he l
At the same time, Darby Seaview Mansion was exceptionally lively.A dozen tables were arranged in the hall as all the offspring of the Darby family were present for the reunion dinner.Abbess Mother Serendipity was at the seat for honored guests with a dozen pretty Emei female disciples around her.They were a unique scene in the Darby reunion dinner.Old Master Darby was seated on the main seat when he said emotionally, “Is everyone here? Alright. Today is my first Mid-Autumn Festival after I ended my isolation to cultivate. I am glad to see the Darby family growing and prospering.”He looked toward Abbess Mother Serendipity and smiled, “Aside from that, we have Abbess Mother Serendipity from the Emei sect with us today for the Darby family’s Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner. We are honored to have you here!”The Darby offspring nodded in agreement.Abbess Mother Serendipity nodded lightly and said humbly, “Old Master Darby, don’t mention it. We are grateful for your kindness
