Adam sighed and replied to Rachelle helplessly, "It's all because of that Darryl Darby."At the thought of his plans failing multiple times, Adam was nothing but furious. Just as the words rang through the air, Rachelle's body trembled as she could not hide the shock on her face. "Didn't we join forces with all those other sects? Were we… still unable to take down that Darryl Darby?"As the holy nun of the True Flame Sect, Rachelle knew everything that went on in the sect.Adam took a deep breath, nodding slowly."Yes, we did. Darryl's a pretty tough case. He has the protection of the Saber Saint, and he hid a great deal of unspeakable power himself."As he spoke, Adam began to describe the happenings of the past few days in detail.What?Rachelle bit her lip tightly at the information, unable to contain her shock.She had never met Darryl, but she heard stories of him. She would have never guessed that the man who was supposed to only be able to make pills was not only terri
Motherf*cker…Darryl felt an uncontrollable rage at the sight before him. How dare those men gang up on a single woman?Amidst his fury, Darryl could see that the men were all dressed in black shirts with a special symbol embroidered at the collar.The Four Seas Alliance?Darryl recognized the symbol immediately, and he knew that the men were under Lady Tigas of the Four Seas Alliance.Realizing that, Darryl was instantly struck with understanding. Most of the Four Seas Alliance were less than friendly folk, and many of the world's most infamous pirates were elites of the Four Seas Alliance.The Four Seas Alliance was known for wreaking chaos on the seas, making enemies left and right. Half a month ago, one of the alliance's parties had even stolen resources from the Red Shirt Crusade, and they even dragged Darryl into it.An organization like that bullying the weak was nothing unusual, but since Darryl had come across it, he could not stand idle and watch.At the thought, Darr
At the thought, Darryl flashed a smile as he said to Tony, "Ah, you're from the Four Seas Alliance. No wonder you have such gusto."As he spoke, his voice deepened. "I'd just like to know, is this what your leader Lady Tigas taught you to be like? Spreading evil and wreaking chaos everywhere?"Despite not having seen much of Lady Tigas, Darryl knew enough about her to know that she lived by a firm set of principles and would never bully the weak nor allow her subordinates to do so.Huh?The words threw Tony off guard. He would have never guessed that Darryl would say such a thing. Going by his logic, he assumed that Darryl would fly to the rescue instantly.Tony would never have guessed that Darryl would mention Lady Tigas.At the same time, Rachelle raised her brows slightly as she began to ponder to herself.'Darryl's tone and the fact that he brought up Lady Tigas… Could they know each other?'No way.Darryl was the head of the Elixir Sector at the Pure Yang Division, one o
Interesting!Sensing that Tony and the rest were not exploding at full force, Darryl smiled as he further confirmed that those people were committing an act.'Since you're trying to play a game, I'll play along.'"Perfect timing!"Darryl called out loudly at the thought as he raised a palm, sending it toward an oncoming Tony.Thump!The blow appeared light and airy, but it held an immense amount of energy as it constricted the air it passed by.Upon knowing that the other party was only faking it, Darryl planned to play along. He did not use all his force in the blow, but as it did contain magical powers, it was still pretty strong.Thump!Tony could not dodge in time, and the blow landed heavily on him. He was sent flying over ten meters, landing heavily on the floor with a dull hum."Ugh…"Upon landing, fresh blood sprayed from Tony's mouth as he stared at Darryl in shock.It was no wonder the sects' combined forces weren't enough to hold him down. Darryl Darby really was
As he spoke, Darryl turned around to untie Rachelle.Truthfully, Darryl knew that she was still tied up. He was just pretending to have forgotten.Upon untying her, Rachelle rubbed her reddening wrists as she bowed to Darryl swiftly."Thank you, kind sir, for rescuing me."Rachelle was truly one of the most beautiful women in the True Flame Sect. A smile from her was like a spring breeze.Darryl pretended to not have seen her, nodding his head. "Alright. You're welcome, young lady. Those rascals have run away, so you should go home. I've got my own things to sort out. I'll see you another time."As he spoke, Darryl turned to walk away. As he turned, Darryl held in a smile as his eyes glinted slyly.Haha…The woman thought he would chase her and look for other things to talk about just because he found her beautiful, so he was going to do the exact opposite. He wanted to see how the show would play out.Darryl had wandered the world for a long time, and he could tell that even
As Darryl spoke, Rachelle burst into tears as she launched into her tale of woe."There's something you don't know, sir. My… my life is so tragic… I don't live here, but in Emerald Cloud Lake, more than a hundred li northwest of here. I came from a town of fishermen who made a living from the lake until a month ago when tragedy struck."A contagious plague wiped out my entire family and village. I was lucky enough to get out alive and find a way to make a living out here on my own, but I never thought that those bastards from the Four Seas Alliance would have targeted me…"If it hadn't been for you suddenly appearing, I don't know what would've happened to me…Rachelle bawled her head off while sneaking glances at Darryl every once in a while.Of course, she had made the story up well before just to gain Darryl's sympathy.She was quite the cheat.Darryl stared Rachelle down, taking in her every move clearly as he smirked to himself, all while plastering on a falsely sympathetic
Darryl smiled lightly, pointing at the stream in front of the cave and saying lazily, "Perfect. I'm starving from the journey earlier. There should be some fish in the stream. Can you catch us a few? I'll start a fire. We'll grill the fish once you catch it."Darryl's expression was solemn as he spoke, but his eyes glinted playfully.Rachelle said that she came from a family of fishermen, which Darryl did not believe at all. He took the opportunity to test her and see how she would react.'What? Have me catch fish?'Rachelle's body quivered at the words as her exquisite features shone with an unreadable expression. She was the holy nun of the True Flame Sect. When did she ever have to take orders like that?She had servants at her beck and call at the True Flame Sect. How would she know how to catch fish?However, she had said that she came from a family of fishermen, and it would not do her good if she went back and changed that.All at once, Rachelle's chest plummeted helpless
The second her feet touched the water, Rachelle stared at the water with a look of fierce concentration as her chest protested helplessly.She had lived a life of luxury as the holy nun of the True Flame Sect. It meant that she had tasted her fair share of delicious fish, but she knew nothing about catching it.What made things harder was that there was no way she could use her powers to do it, so she could only go with traditional fishing methods.Rachelle grew increasingly helpless as she pondered, but she had no choice as she could not reveal her identity. All she could do was grit her teeth as she paced around in the stream, trying her best to catch the fish.Unfortunately, she did not know how to do it at all, and she missed a fish right before her eyes again and again. Her long dress slowly became drenched from all the missed splashes.Just then, the moon shone a dim glow onto the ground.Under the moonlight, Rachelle's soaked dress clung to her body, highlighting her breat
