No one could say that Marnie was not beautiful, but then again, no one could say that she was not a b*tch too. "Who told you I've absconded in sin?" Thea asked in an annoyed tone and with furrowed brows. Marnie smirked. However, she was startled when she laid her eyes on Darryl. It took her a few seconds to snap back to her senses, and when she did, she said in an exaggerated high-pitched voice, "Isn't that Darryl, the fugitive? You dare to show your face here?""Why won't I dare?" Darryl asked with a smile on his face. Then, he boldly sat down on a chair next to him. Marnie became even more riled up with the provocation. "Do you think the Damien family will still accept you as their son-in-law? Count yourself lucky you were able to escape last time. You must be tired of living to show your face here!" Then, she turned to face the crowd and said, "Everyone, look! Darryl, the fugitive, has come back! And to the Damien family's banquet, no less!" She sneaked a gloating glance at
Immediately, about ten guards rushed into the hall and surrounded Darryl. All the guests started to back away, and judging from their expression; they could not help but feel smug that Darryl had finally met his just end. However, Darryl did not seem to be panicking. He chuckled softly, and his internal energy erupted from his body. The guards did not even have time to react before they were sent flying against the walls. That made Grady, Donnie, and the rest of the guests gasp out in horror. They had not seen him for a month, and he had come back even stronger? It was so silent in the hall that one could hear a pin drop. "Huh? Miss Lolita is here!" someone said, creating another wave of commotion. Soon, they saw a graceful figure entering the hall. She was drop-dead gorgeous, though a little pale in the face.Yes, it was Lolita, who had been locked up in her room by Donnie all those while. Donnie wanted her to join in the celebration of the Damien family taking control over Pea
Lolita bit her lips and said, "Leave me be and go." Ever since Grady showed her his true colors at the beach, she realized he might have something to do with her grandfather's death. She was very happy to see Darryl again, but the happiness was overshadowed by the fact that the Damien family had fallen under Donnie's control, who was also colluding with Grady. Besides, more importantly, how would Darryl be able to fend himself against the 12 paladins?"Lolita, don't worry about me," Darryl said soothingly with a smile."Darryl! How dare you hit me! You're dead now!" Grady shouted, who had finally recovered from the shock. The other guests joined him in their shouts."That is too much!""Have you no shame, Darryl?"Again, Darryl chose to ignore their accusations. He turned to look at Grady and, in a menacing tone, said, "We'll see who's the dead one today." Then, he swept his cold gaze across everyone and said, "At Old Master Damien's funeral, I've promised you all that I will ma
Seeing how calm Darryl was, Grady's facade began to crack. 'Does Darryl have some sort of privileged relationship with the Temple of Light?' Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became awkward. "Master Grady, is that true? Is he really from the Temple of Light?" Donnie asked in a panicked whisper. They would be in deep sh*t if that were true. Grady took a deep breath, and the expression in his eyes changed. "Impossible! He would have come with the 12 paladins if he was one of them, but instead, he came with Thea. So, there's no need to panic," he said calmly.Then he looked at the time and said, "The 12 paladins would be arriving soon. We should get ready to welcome them. As for Darryl, let's keep him alive for a little while longer."Grady would like nothing more than to kill Darryl, but the banquet would be cut short if a fight broke out. After thinking it through, he decided it would be better to welcome the 12 paladins and deal with Darryl after the banquet was over. There wa
All kinds of commotion broke out after the announcement. How did things end up like that? The position of mayor should have gone to Donnie as he was the head of the family, after all! Why did it go to Miss Lolita?Donnie was struck dumb. His mind was filled with the sound of buzzing. 'That can't be happening. Lolita, a mayor?'Grady was similarly struck dumb. He stared at the Golden Lion Paladin in confusion, willing himself to think he had heard wrongly. Things did not go according to his plan! His puppet, Donnie, should have been the Mayor! No, it could not be Lolita!As for Lolita, who was standing next to Darryl, she was still trying to understand the whole situation. She had to pinch herself to make sure she was not dreaming. The Golden Lion Paladin walked forward and put the appointment letter in her hand and politely said, "Miss Lolita, as the Mayor, I hope you will serve the citizens of Pearl City well." Lolita answered him in an affirmative tone and accepted the appointme
Lolita bit her lips until it almost bled. She was staring at Darryl with a face filled with shock, and she felt as if her legs had turned into jelly. She finally realized the man she had married was as profound as the ocean itself. Darryl exhaled lightly and half-smiled at Grady. "Are you still going to deny what you've done?""I admit it! I admit it!" Grady said. He was sweating profusely and found it difficult to stand. He then told them everything—how he hired an assassin to kill Old Master Damien and how he colluded with Seth to pin the crime on Darryl. If he had a choice, Grady would not have admitted to his crime, but alas, he had no choice after he discovered Darryl to be the Saint Lord of the Temple of Lights. With the 12 paladins watching his every move, he was sure he would end up with a fate worse than death if he did not admit to his crime. Another round of uproar ensued in the hall. "So, it was Master Grady all along!""I would have never guessed!""We were all
Donnie swallowed involuntarily and quickly fell to the ground on his knees. "Lolita, it's all my fault. I should not have colluded with Grady to steal your position or to force you to marry him. Please forgive your uncle!"Lolita stood there, biting her lips, and did not answer him. She had completely given up all hope before that, so that had come as a surprise to her. She had become the Mayor of Pearl City and found her grandfather's real killer, and even her sneaky second uncle was kneeling on the ground begging for her forgiveness. She was filled with mixed feelings. She wanted to punish her second uncle but could not bear to—they were families, after all. Darryl must have guessed what she was feeling and could not help but sigh at how soft-hearted she was. Then he waved for the guards and said, "Take Donnie away and lock him up for the time being.""Yes, sir!" the guards said, who then proceeded to drag Donnie away."Well, everything has ended well," Darryl said with a smile
He quickly rushed over and was shocked at the scene that greeted him. There were two groups in a battle, and one of the groups was made up of almost a hundred men dressed in black—they seemed fierce. Darryl could sense that the men-in-blacks were very powerful; they were at least at Saint Honor level. The other group had about ten guards trying to protect the unicorn cars and the maids surrounding a trembling beautiful woman. The woman's face was truly gorgeous, and she possessed an equally ravishing figure. The combined effect made her appearance very pleasing to the eye. Who else could that be but Madame Pandora?She must have run into the men-in-blacks while on a trip with her family. However, Darryl could not help but furrow his brows in confusion. 'What is Madame Pandora doing at the Golden Lion Principality's border? And what's up with the entourage?"His confusion was not unfounded—why would the only woman in the whole of the Golden Principality to enjoy the title of a Mar
Behind Darryl, Ambrose smiled widely, looking at Darryl with happiness in his eyes.Then, under the gaze of thousands, the brides entered. Instantly, there were cheers all around. Many men looked envious. The eight brides were drop-dead gorgeous! Debra, Yvette, Yvonne, Monica, Aurora, Shannon, Quincy, and Lily. They held hands and walked on stage.More importantly, each of the brides was of high status. Some were empresses, some were Sect Masters. It could be said that Darryl was living the ultimate dream of many men.The expensive gowns showed off their attractive curves. At that moment, when they stood together, each of them looked so beautiful as if they were angels, gracing the presence of mortal humans. It was a visual feast.Soon, the wedding was at its peak where they were pronounced husband and wives. Rapturous applause rang out.Darryl walked over and kissed each wife on the cheek. He also took many photos and uploaded them to his public WeMet account, the North Valle
Especially Magaera. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He was finally relieved. After all, he had previously destroyed the prince's fairy soul. It was the death penalty.Seeing how sincere they were about their mistakes, the Ancient Ancestor said nothing else. He scanned the crowd and said seriously, "Alright, I am now going to announce an important matter. "While I was cultivating in seclusion, many things had happened. However, the Godly Region can't go a day without a ruler. I have decided to anoint Darryl Darby as the new Heaven Emperor."Daryl is kind and knowledgeable. He had previously helped defend against the fiend race. He has worked hard for the Godly Region. He was later also the master of Aurin, being the Royal Master. He is more than qualified for the role."Wow! Upon his words, the entire hall was in an uproar. However, soon, the officials and the Immortals went up to Darryl and congratulated him. After all, the Ancient Ancestor was right. Darryl had indeed
What the hell…Emperor Aurelias was stunned. He looked at the Ancient Ancestor with disbelief. Impossible. He had personally destroyed the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul. How could he still be alive? Finally, Emperor Aurelias came to his senses. He said, "You…" He was so stunned that he could no longer continue his sentence after muttering a word.The Ancient Ancestor silently looked at him without any expression on his face. He slowly said, "The one that you destroyed previously was only one of my other duplicates. Aurelias, you are still the same after so many years. I am truly disappointed in you.""Haha!" Upon hearing that, Emperor Aurelias was first stunned, then he laughed maniacally. "Stop with the nagging. Even if you favored the Nine Heaven Emperor, he is already dead. In your heart, I can never live up to him. This makes me unhappy. What are you going to do about that?"Then, Emperor Aurelias attacked the Ancient Ancestor. He knew that there was no point crying over sp
Woo! Darryl took a deep breath and slowly said, "We're at the Sealed Fiend Mountain, many fiend race warriors have died here. The aura here is extremely hostile. Mixing the aura with the Immortals Trap Formation, it should be able to hold him in…"However, before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Aurelias screeched loudly. A burst of energy exploded from him, slamming onto the Immortals Trap Formation.Slam! With a loud rumble, Emperor Aurelias destroyed a few stone pillars. The formation's powers were instantly weakened. Taking this opportunity, Emperor Aurelias broke free from the formation.What the hell! Upon seeing this scene, Darryl was bewildered. Emperor Aurelias had such terrifying powers that even the Immortals Trap Formation could not contain him.Magaera's expressions changed too. His eyes were filled with nervousness and gravity.At that moment, Emperor Aurelias glared at them. "You brats. Die!" Then, he burst forth with the force of thunder. Facing this s
Magaera would be the one to lure Emperor Aurelias there. At the right moment, Darryl would activate the Immortals Trap Formation and trap Emperor Aurelias in it.Darryl even took out the Divine Dragon Jade to send a distress signal to Shandy. Shandy gave Darryl the Divine Dragon Jade, and he always kept it on him.Darryl hid by the side quietly and waited soon after setting up the formation.Slam! Slam! Slam!Soon after, he heard fighting in the nearby skies, followed by the arrival of two figures.It was Magaera and Emperor Aurelias.Dark clouds formed wherever they were, and the wind blew as a result of the terrifying surge of energy.Darryl was ecstatic and delighted to see that.Magaera was fighting Emperor Aurelias at the time while scanning the surroundings. He knew the formation was in place when he did not see Darryl.Previously, Magaera and Darryl had agreed that once the formation was in place, Darryl would hide and wait for the right moment to attack.Slam!At tha
Hehe!The so-called Emperor Aurelias was stunned when he heard what Darryl said, but then he smiled and said, "No wonder you are the Royal Master." It is no surprise that Prince Aurin once held you in such high regard. You could immediately tell what was going on. Amazing!"Then, he raised his hands and wiped his face, showing his true identity.It was Magaera.Bloody hell!When Darryl saw Magaera, he was instantly stunned. "How did you come out from the chaotic void?"At that moment, Darryl was genuinely shocked. He correctly guessed that Emperor Aurelias in front of him was an imposter. Many people crossed his mind, but he would never have thought it would be Magaera.What was even more surprising was Magaera's ability to escape the chaotic void.Magaera chuckled lightly. "If you could trap me in the chaotic void so easily, how could I even be a Lord General?"Darryl took a deep breath and gradually calmed down after hearing what Magaera said.The next second, Darryl said,
"I'll see him now at the Imperial Sky Palace."Empress Heidi was about to head to the Imperial Sky Palace, but Magaera stopped her."Your Majesty, do not be reckless," Magaera said with a serious expression. He said, "If you head there now, you are just falling into a trap.""Then…" Empress Heidi's exquisite face was filled with annoyance. She said anxiously, "What should we do now?" She was already at her wit's end in that current situation.Magaera took a deep breath as if he had made a huge decision. "If you want to go up against Emperor Aurelias, you have to get help from someone.""Who?" Empress Heidi asked quickly.Magaera had a look of complexity. He said, "Darryl Darby!"What?"Empress Heidi initially thought that Magaera would mention some Immortal's name. She never expected that he would say Darryl's name. She was instantly baffled. She looked at Magaera in shock. "Darryl Darby? You want to get him to help?"Empress Heidi was very hostile toward Darryl when the two p
Crash!When the surrounding Imperial Sky Palace guards heard the commotion, they rushed over.They were immediately enraged when they saw Magaera in mid-air."It's the Lord General.""What is he doing? Is he challenging His Majesty?"While the palace guards were conversing, a beam of golden light rushed forth from the Imperial Sky Palace, colliding with Magaera in mid-air.A figure draped in a golden dragon robe emitted a powerful aura of command and arrogance. It was Emperor Aurelias."Magaera?" When he saw Magaera, Emperor Aurelias's expression did not change. He said calmly, "I thought you were still stuck in the chaotic void. I didn't think that you would safely return. Not bad."There are now a thousand things to do in the Godly Region. I need just the right man to assist me."Emperor Aurelias thought that Magaera was there to help him.Magaera sneered, not showing him any respect. "Assist? You are not qualified to be the Heaven Emperor. What assistance do you need?" His
Damn it!The powerful energy crushed Dax; he could not even move, let alone dodge the attack. He could only look at Romeo as he approached.Chester was also shocked and furious. "Stop!"However, Romeo ignored him. He increased his speed instead."You—"Circe was terrified when she saw Romeo about to kill Dax. She wished she could have rushed over to stop him, but it was too late. She drew her sword and placed it around her neck in desperation."Fine. If you insist on revenge, I won't want to live anymore too." It pained her to say that.She saw Archfiend Antigonus destroyed with her own eyes. Circe was devastated. She later became a member of the Holy Saint Sect. Initially, she imagined herself growing old alone. She had no idea Romeo, her junior brother, would be Archfiend Antigonus' host body.Before she could even be happy about that, he had gone to seek revenge on Darryl.She knew that revenge would only breed revenge; there would never be an end to it. If he were to kill
