Whew!At the same time, Chester and the rest let out a sigh of relief.That was close. If a fight had broken out with Master Magaera and his men, there would be nothing but trouble to come. Thank goodness the Heaven Emperor sided with Darryl.Just then, Master Magaera ordered his thousands of men to retreat from the Begonia Residences under Aurin's orders.Following that, Darryl was sent into the main hall.Aurin sat at the head seat in the room, with Darryl right next to him.Chester and the rest stood to the side. Despite knowing that Darryl was the Royal Master, they did not dare to be any less respectful as if he was the Heaven Emperor himself.Master Magaera stood at the doorway, his face filled with embarrassment as he fidgeted awkwardly.Aurin brought out a beautiful jade box and passed it to Darryl with a smile."Master, I sensed that your divine power took a huge blow. I carry a few Heavenly Marrow Golden Elixir Pills with me wherever I go. I'll leave them with you so
Whew!Just as he left, Aurin took a deep breath before turning to Darryl with a smile. "He's finally gone. Gosh, it's exhausting having to act all proper when I talk to him."As he spoke, Aurin addressed Chester and the rest. "There's no need to stand, all of you. Sit, all of you can sit…"Aurin was joyous and polite, unlike the cold and authoritative monarch he was moments ago.Darryl could not help but laugh at the sight. Aurin was still the same, whether or not he was Heaven Emperor.What…Chester, Debra, and the rest exchanged glances at the sight, finding the situation amusing as well.Who would have thought that the Heaven Emperor would be such a character? Despite so, no one dared to sit still. After all, the Heaven Emperor was the ruler of all realms.Sensing the crowd's hesitation, Darryl waved a hand as he smiled. "Chester, Dax! The Emperor himself has said there's no need for you to stand. Come on, sit down, the lot of you."It was only then that everyone slowly sat
Still, Veron was considered quite a beauty.At that thought, Darryl said with a smile, "What are you here to see me for, little miss?"Veron let out a sigh , holding back her displeasure as she spoke slowly."I came here on behalf of my family for two things. One is to apologize, and two is to ask you, Uncle Darryl, for help."Darryl was classmates with Circe back at the Hexad school, and based on age, it was only right that Darryl was considered a senior to Veron.Darryl stopped short at Veron's words. He had guessed that Veron had come to visit regarding the affairs of her family and the Wudang Sect, but he did not anticipate an apology."What are you apologizing for?" Darryl asked curiously.Veron bit her lip softly, not answering right away. Instead she walked up to Ambrose and spoke slowly."I was to blame for my actions before, Ambrose Darby. Please be the bigger person and forgive me for my wrongdoing."Veron's affection toward Ambrose had morphed into resentment, and s
Upon hearing Veron's story, Chester and Darryl exchanged glances with an unreadable expression.They furrowed their brows. There was no way that the story was as simple as it sounded.It was important to know that Jacob and Circe had feelings for each other, and they had already established that they wanted to be with each other. Thus, Veron's story did not really add up.It did not make sense.What frustrated Darryl even more was Tuji.The Elysium Gate had a good relationship with the Lange family, and they had met a good number of times. Thus, Darryl knew Tuji well enough to know that he was a strict, disciplined person.However, Zenyl's death was a mystery shrouded in questions, and Tuji had not been able to suss any of it out.Just then, Darryl fell deep into thought as he exchanged a glance with Chester.The next second, Darryl looked calmly at Veron. "Little miss, according to your story, I don't think Jacob is the killer."Darryl had wandered the earth for many years, a
Ambrose was nothing but annoyed as he spoke.Veron truly had no manners at all, first framing him and Heather, then throwing tantrums in front of his father and Uncle Chester…Veron was in a terrible mood. She roared out loud as she pushed Ambrose backward."F*ck off!"Ambrose had long prepared for that, and had been secretly channeling his internal energy into his legs to remain standing firm as a rock.Veron caught her balance as her face was filled with humiliated rage and she glowered at Ambrose."Ambrose Darby! What's the meaning of this? Trying to abuse your power because you're on your own grounds, are you? Or has the Elysium Gate really struck up an allyship with the Wudang Sect to take the Lange family down, and now you're holding me captive?"Amidst her rage, Veron spewed out everything she thought of, not holding anything back.Ambrose could hardly contain his anger watching her run her mouth and roared, "Shut up! The Elysium Gate has never struck up anything with th
Just as the words rang through the air, Dax clapped a hand onto Ambrose's shoulder and yanked him towards himself as he said loudly, "No, no! Ambrose, listen. Uncle Dax's on your side. That blow was completely justified."As he spoke, Dax said to Darryl, "This little girl was acting out of line! Why are you blaming Ambrose instead?"Darryl hung his head helplessly at Dax's words. "Dax, she's the high lady of the Lange household. That wasn't appropriate for Ambrose to do such a thing."As he spoke, Debra got to her feet slowly as she said, "She's alright. She just fell unconscious. She'll be alright after she gets some rest."Whew!Darryl heaved a sigh of relief at the words. Thank goodness Ambrose's blow had not been fatal, or he would surely have a difficult time explaining himself to the Lange household.At the thought, Darryl looked at Chester. "What do you think we should do next, Brother Chester?"Chester pondered briefly before speaking"There truly seems to be something
As she spoke, Heather passed Ambrose a cup of tea.Ambrose took it from her, taking a deep breath. "Veron treated you awfully, and almost got the both of us killed, Heather. Are you really still trying to speak up for her?"Heather let out a soft sigh in response. "I know you're still angry over what she did, but nobody's perfect, right? Who doesn't make mistakes? Besides, she only did all of that because she liked you so much."Heather sat next to Ambrose, putting her hands below her chin to gaze out of the window. "My parents taught me from a young age to try to see the best in people, and have a generous heart. That's the easiest way for someone to be happy."Ambrose fell into thought at the words briefly, flashing a pained smile. "You're far too kind for your own good, Heather. Alright, I'll let the past go.""Wonderful!"Seeing as he was finally calming down, Heather was nothing but joyous as she beamed, "That's my Brother Ambrose."As she spoke, Heather tugged at Ambrose's
Just then, outside the door.Seeing as no one was answering, Heather bit her lip hesitantly.It seemed that Veron had not waken up yet.At the thought, Heather turned to leave. She wanted to come back the next day, before deciding that she would leave the medicine behind since she was already here.Upon making her mind up, Heather pushed the door open slowly.Creak!Antigonus' brows furrowed from where he had been hiding behind the door, racking his brain for a plan on what to do.Heather just had to come at a time like this, didn't she?Fine, then. He would send her right to hell, along with Veron.Heather did not realize that danger was incoming, her gaze immediately falling onto Veron as she entered and called out softly. "Sister Veron?"Due to the room's lights not being turned on, Heather could not tell if Veron was still unconscious or not and went closer to check.Yet just then, Antigonus' gaze flashed from where he stood behind the door. He did not hesitate at all, r
