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
Abbess Mother Serendipity’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Florian’s words. Tarnishing a brother’s wife was a huge condemnation in their society!The Emei disciples around her furrowed their brows in disapproval.Slam!Abbess Mother Serendipity’s face turned cold as she slammed the table and said angrily, “I didn’t expect Darryl Darby to be such a shameless man. I will make him pay if I meet that hooligan one day for the Darby family’s sake.”She looked gentle and humble but she could never accept a transgression like this!....The next day.Donghai City was still immersed in a joyous holiday mood although the Mid-Autumn Festival was over.It was a sunny day. The streets near Hexad School were lively and bustling with people.The students were walking to the academic buildings respectively as classes were going to start soon.Katherine Keith walked out of the teacher’s office with a frown.She noticed that she dropped two Levels after waking up in the morning.
Katherine was distracted throughout the class as she kept thinking that she would drop another two Levels the next day into a Level Two Master if she did not look for Darryl immediately.She was extremely frustrated.She returned to her office as soon as the class was over to make a desperate call to Darryl.No one picked up....Donghai City First Hospital.Darryl kept pacing outside the operation room because he just could not stand still. Worry was written all over his face and his bloodshot eyes were red.Shelly Sullivan performed the operation herself after Lily was sent to the hospital.They had not come out of the operation room since the surgery started at 11.00 pm the night before.Despite the fact that he was overwhelmed with anxiety and rage, Darryl still prayed for Lily as he waited for more than 10 hours.‘We finally accepted each other after three years, you have to be fine.’The lights of the surgery sign were off and Shelly walked out with exhaustion.Darryl
A few rich ladies followed behind Samantha into the ward.One of them had a fox fur coat on with a necklace and many rings.Darryl was amused.‘Haha, she’s wearing fox fur right after the Mid-Autumn Festival. She does look loaded with it but isn’t it hot and stuffy?’Samantha trotted over and asked in a worried tone, “Lilybud, how are you feeling?”She spent the whole night playing mahjong and she was only told about her daughter this morning.The ladies who came with her were clearly her mahjong buddies.Lily shook her head and answered weakly, “Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”Samantha heaved a sigh of relief before turning to Darryl, her anger visible in her eyes, “You piece of trash! Lilybud has always been a good person and yet this happened when she was together with you! You were right beside her but you allowed this to happen? Are you a man? Tell me, is she hurt because of you?!”Darryl smiled bitterly and replied, “Mother, I apologize, it is my fault. I did not take good
Lily was extremely disappointed with her mother.She clearly promised her that she would not play mahjong anymore.She did not expect her to call her mahjong buddies immediately after she went out.Her friend even went to the hospital to demand payment. How embarrassing.“Sophie, can you kindly give me two days?” Samantha smiled and continued, “You know my son-in-law, he was married into our family and stayed with us so of course, he wouldn’t have any money. Can you just give me a few days, for old times’ sake?”Samantha was filled up with pent-up anger every time someone mentioned her good-for-nothing son-in-law.Aside from getting her daughter injured, he was of no help when she fell into debt.Sophie sneered, it was clear that there was no room to argue. “Samatha, stop talking. Your daughter has to leave the hospital if you don’t pay up today. I’m calling my nephew, just wait.”She took out her phone and dialed a number.“No, please!” Samantha lost her cool the moment Sophi
