Declan and the others were dumbfounded. They glanced at each other bitterly.It was not a small amount even though they were from wealthy families! It was quite different when one compared 20 billion bucks' worth of assets with 20 billion bucks in cash!Even the most influential families would only have three million bucks in cash. It would be near impossible to get 20 billion!However, they were not in a position to refuse the offer!"Do you have the money or not?" Ocean roared; he had lost his patience."Yes, yes—" Declan, who was still on his knees, repeatedly shouted as he forced a smile on his face. "Can you give us a few minutes to collect the money?"Ocean waved his arm impatiently. "You have ten minutes. Hurry."He retracted his blade as two of his men took two chairs to their leaders. Ocean and River took the seats.Declan got up frightfully and gestured to his classmates to gather around him."What should we do?"The students discussed in a panic.Even Kent was ner
"Darryl, are you nuts?" Declan was annoyed; he pointed at Darryl as he shouted, "Why would the Coastline Sect people do you that favor? Who do you think you are?"'He must be joking.' The others scoffed at him as well."Honey, stop—" Lily stomped her foot in frustration as she tugged on Darryl's sleeve; her face was flushed from the embarrassment. She wanted to dig a hole and hide in it when the others mocked Darryl."Enough! Just ignore him." Declan waved his hand in dismissal and hushed them. "Let's get the money."Darryl sighed as he took out his cellphone discreetly to send a text to Zephyr Dixon.The Powter brothers walked toward them when their ten minutes were up; they dragged their blades on the ground. It created sparks and rattling noises."Do you have the money? It's only 20 billion bucks, so hurry up." Ocean was impatient.Just 20 billion?Declan and the others wanted to cry.'Money doesn't grow on trees! Even those rich men on television would not be able to take
“What did you say?”Ocean was stunned as he thought he had misheard Darryl. He looked at the younger man in astonishment as he dug his ears sarcastically. “Say that again?”‘This kid has b*lls for trying to act like a hero.’‘He doesn’t have any internal energy; he must be stupid.’Darryl stared at Ocean coldly and repeated his word. “I said, get your dirty hands off her.”“F*ck you! Do you have a death wish?” Ocean shouted.Swoosh!Ocean’s men rushed toward them when their leader shouted; they gave Darryl a cold glare as they waited for instruction. They were ready to chop him into pieces!However, Darryl continued to stand there without a hint of fear on his face!“Hey kid, you’re pretty funny.” Ocean laughed. “So many of you, but you are the only one with the b*lls to stand out. You have a death wish, is that it?”Darryl smiled and replied in an icy tone, “I’m only going to say this once. I don’t care if you want to swindle people for money, but you can’t have these women,
"They're from the Elysium Gate."A sudden fear emerged in Ocean's mind!The Elysium Gate had demolished more than a dozen evil sects within two weeks after their establishment. Their purpose was to bring justice to mankind, and they had made quite a reputation in the martial arts community!The Coastline Sect had acted tyrannically around the beach.They wondered whether the Elysium Gate was there for them.The students were overwhelmed with emotions, and some of them were in tears of gratitude!'Look at that Nine Dragon Justice Flag. They are from the Elysium Gate! They must be here to take Coastline Sect down! They're here to rescue us!'The Elysium Gate had made statements in the martial arts community, and no one was unaware of their reputation!Sects with dishonest practices had disappeared whenever the Nine Dragon Justice Flag made an appearance. Therefore, Elysium Gate was regarded as the executors for justice!Their uniformed footsteps shook the earth and overwhelmed o
They were aware that their denial could cost them their lives!Zephyr smiled sinisterly and said, "Not every bad deed deserves forgiveness. Brothers, tie them up!""Those who don't comply will die!"Zephyr's indifferent voice could be heard over the entire beach!The Elysium Gate's disciples complied with the order and charged forward.Ocean sweated profusely as there was no way that he could revolt in that situation!He might even die that night!All of the Coastline Sect's followers were tied up in ropes within a few minutes as none of them dared to resist!"Spread the word," Zephyr's tone was cold as he stared at the sea. "Search every single asset owned by the Coastline Sect and distribute them to the locals! This sect is history from this day onward!""Understood!" The Elysium Gate's disciples shouted in unison, and their voices shook the skies! Then they proceeded to leave regally under Zephyr's lead!A fisherman suddenly got down on his knees!"Thank you, Elysium Gate
"She's right. Darryl, why did you do that? You have zero internal energy! You could've gotten us into more trouble with Ocean Powter if the Elysium Gate wasn't here!""Were you trying to be a hero? Could you even do it? You are just a live-in son-in-law!"Darryl only shrugged in response to the criticisms. "You guys chickened out when the Coastline guys surrounded you, and none of you dared to speak out when the girls were getting harassed. I did have zero internal energy, but at least I have the guts to say something. I may be useless, but you guys are even more worthless than I am.""You—"The guys were speechless."Alright, that's enough, stop talking." Yvette sat near the bonfire with a light smile. "Aren't you guys hungry? Let's have some fish!"She took a grilled fish and offered it to Darryl. "Thank you for what you did, Darryl."Yvette looked at Darryl from top to toe. She was amused that he dared to speak out even though he was powerless to do anything about it. He was
"Yes, Sect Master, I bow to you in surrender. I will join the Elysium Gate." Old Villain Eight was the first to get down on his knees."I surrender too!""Me too."In less than two minutes, tens of people knelt on the floor. Everyone decided not to struggle."Release them!" Darryl shouted with a smile. Levin immediately walked toward them and released all the ropes.Darryl waved his hand happily. "Brothers, the success of Elysium Gate was due to your effort. Let's all enjoy the meal today. Cheers, Brothers!"Everyone raised their glass. "Cheers to Sect Master!"Everyone enjoyed the meal as they bonded with each other. They hugged and got drunk.The Ten Villains, Ocean Powter and River Powter, who had just joined the sect, blended in well with the group, and they all drank happily.A few of the men got too drunk, and they had fallen under the table.After three rounds of drinking, Darryl's head started to spin. As he did not have internal energy, he could not force the alcohol
At the other end of the line, Megan could feel Darryl's coldness. She bit her lips and wanted to cry. "My dear brother, I am truly sorry. I didn't want to hurt you that day, but Master wanted me to do it. I had no choice."Megan said hopefully, "I want to meet you so that I can apologize to you personally. May I do that?"Darryl sat on a chair after he walked out of the washroom. He drank a sip of wine and did not say a word."My dear brother…" Megan felt terrible. "I am sorry. Please, just let me meet you once, or I will feel guilty my whole life. If you don't want to meet me, then I will kill myself right now."Darryl answered with a sigh. "Where to meet you?"Darryl did not want to meet her. However, he felt as if he had no choice after he heard what she had said. He would only see her once.Megan was thrilled when Darryl agreed to meet her. "You have finally agreed to meet me. This is terrific!" Megan was as happy as a child.Megan had felt so guilty. She was worried that Da
