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
Lily was still recovering from her injuries. Her condition would definitely worsen if they touched her wound.However, the men could not care less about her and proceeded to surround the hospital bed.“What’s going on in here?”A deep voice sounded from the door at that crucial moment.A man walked into the room.It was Darryl.Samantha stood up abruptly when she saw him, “This is my son-in-law, he will pay on my behalf! Look for him for the money! You can break his legs if he doesn’t have it.”Caelan had no idea who was it as Darryl was facing his back. Caelan furrowed his brows and turned.He was stunned!‘Hall Master?’‘Why is he here?’Caelan’s subordinates were also confused. They stared at Darryl in a daze and they were unable to react for a while!‘Is the woman in the hospital bed the Hall Master’s wife? It can’t be!’The men finally reacted and greeted, “Greetings, Hall Master…”Darryl waved an arm to interrupt them and turned to Caelan, “What’s the matter? Why ar
“Hurry up, I have to pay for my mother-in-law’s debt.” Darryl shook his head.He always adhered to his principles.He had to pay the debt even if Caelan was his subordinate because those were two different things.“Hall Master, stop putting me in a difficult position here. How am I supposed to take your money?” asked Caelan in anguish.“Why not?” interrupted Sophie as she took a step forward and said, “I won the two million! Caelan, have you mistaken him for someone else? He is just a live-in son-in-law! Why are you afraid of him?”“Aunt, stop talking! Please!” Caelan thumped his chest as he was on the verge of losing his sanity. He then knocked his head on the floor, “Darryl, my aunt does not know the rules, I apologize on her behalf, I’m sorry…”He kept knocking his head on the floor as he apologized, his forehead was starting to bleed.“Fine, get up.” Darryl waved his hand in dismissal.Sophie finally shut her mouth and forced a smile, “Samantha, well… I have something else
