Whew!Sensing Veron's temper, Darryl let out a breath before saying calmly, "Young lady, I thought I told you what happened before. Whoever attacked Heather is extremely powerful, and I'm only protecting you in keeping you here.""What if the attacker's hiding in Donghai City? It'd be terrible if you were ambushed on your way back, wouldn't it?"Veron shook her head vigorously, shouting out loud, "F*ck you, I don't care! I'm going back!"As the words rang through the air, Veron was about to rush out of the room.Darryl frowned, moving to block the door before saying in an irritated tone, "That's enough, young lady."Veron truly had no manners at all. No wonder Ambrose didn't like her."I said, f*ck off!"Just then, Veron lost her temper completely as she cried out, raising a hand to strike in Darryl's direction.Darryl could not help but raise his tone at Veron's insolence. "You really have no manners, you spoiled brat. Even your grandfather Tuji is respectful to me, and you d
Seeing as she had lost the arrogance from before, Darryl strode over slowly before he recalled the divine energy he had put into her acupoint.Following that, Darryl stared at Veron. "Alright. If you're really bored you can take a stroll in the Begonia Residences. But if I ever hear about you acting out of line, I'm not going to be as forgiving anymore."As the final word rang through the air, Darryl strode off in big steps.……Just then, over at the pill room.Rachelle did not know how long she had been unconscious for. She felt as if she had just had a dream that she had fallen down a volcano, and the searing hot lava had drowned her…Whew!At last, Rachelle woke up with a start from her nightmare.Yet as she opened her eyes, Rachelle took in the sight of herself and got the fright of her life.All that could be seen was that her breathtaking curves were nowhere to be seen, and instead her body bore the resemblance of a three-year-old's. Her features were small and bright, h
Darryl stopped then, looking down at her. "Oh? Why are you so scared? Did someone bully you?" It would only make sense for a child this young to hide behind a shelf if she was tremendously upset.At the thought, Darryl swept Rachelle up into his arms as he said with a broad smile, "Come on, you can tell me. Who are your parents? Why were you hiding back there?"Darryl was certain then of the fact that the little girl before him was one of the Elysium Gate members' daughters."You…"Rachelle was beside herself with humiliation and indignance, and did not answer right away as she struggled. "Don't, don't… hold me, put me down right now." Her tone was nothing but panicked, but her voice was all childish and sounded adorable.Rachelle was close to tears then.Darryl had taken advantage of her multiple times in the past, even taking her purity. Now she had turned into a child and he was holding her in his arms. How embarrassing!Uhh…Darryl fidgeted awkwardly at the little girl's
Rachelle was beside herself with humiliation and anger at the words. "Shut your mouth! I'll never marry you."As she spoke, Rachelle raised a hand to strike at Darryl.Yet she was far too short, and only looked nothing but adorable doing so.Ha ha…Darryl burst out laughing once again, reaching out to pat at the undershirt Rachelle was wearing. Yet he had used too much force, and ended up ripping the undershirt up.Rachelle cried out in an instant, hiding behind a chair as she was beside herself with rage. "You bastard, Darryl Darby…"Darryl stared at the torn undershirt in his hand, flushing awkwardly. "I… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know these clothes were so thin."As he spoke, Darryl strode over slowly. "I didn't hurt you, did I…"Yet he had barely gotten very far when Rachelle cut him off, her face scarlet at this point. "Don't come over! Stand right there…" Despite the fact that she was only three or four years old in this state, it would still be humili
As the words rang through the air, Rachelle's face flushed once again as she stomped on the ground. "In your dreams." Darryl truly was never serious, trying to take advantage of her even at a time like this."Oh? Is that so?"Darryl put on a heavily disappointed expression. "Alright then. You can figure this out on your own." As he spoke, he turned to pretend to leave once again.Rachelle panicked at the sight. "Fine, fine… darling."To tell the truth, Rachelle was nothing but resentful of the situation, and did not wish to call Darryl that at all. Yet she had no choice— if Darryl did not help her, she would truly not be able to look anyone in the eye anymore.Seeing as she was finally giving in, Darryl smiled as he nodded. "There there, that's a good girl. Come on, there's a little market not too far from here. We'll be right in time for them to open."Yet Rachelle remained behind the chair, saying in a small voice, "How am I supposed to go out looking like this?" She had turne
As the final word rang through the air, the shop owner could not help but cast another glance at Darryl.It was obvious that she thought Darryl was a human trafficker.To tell the truth, any average person would not dare to ask such a blatant question outright. Yet this woman did not fear in the slightest bit, and that was because her husband was a policeman in charge of the safety of Atlantic Street.The shop owner had thought it through. She was going to make sure that Darryl was a human trafficker, then call her husband immediately.What…Rachelle had been wandering the world for many years, but this was her first time encountering a situation like this. The shop owner's question made her stop short, at a loss for words.F*ck me…Darryl stopped short as well, torn between exasperation and amusement.Upon realizing the shop owner's intentions, Darryl reached out to pet Rachelle's head as he flashed a smile at the shop owner. "Oh, I'm afraid you've gotten the wrong idea, Madam
Sigh!Upon seeing Rachelle come out in a few outfits, Darryl could not help but sigh to himself.It was true that Rachelle was indeed a stunner, and looked good in everything. It was such a shame that she was so arrogant and stand-offish.Just as he was thinking to himself, Rachelle emerged with a few outfits that she had chosen.Darryl got up to pay, before moving to leave with Rachelle in tow."Stand right there!"Yet just then, the shop owner hauled Rachelle behind her in one swift move before grabbing Darryl's arm.F*ck!Darryl stopped short. He tried to wrench his arm free, but found that the woman's arm was quite strong. "What's the meaning of this, Madam? I paid already."To tell the truth, the woman was merely mortal and not a cultivator, and all Darryl had to do was summon his divine energy if he wanted to shake her off. Yet this would hurt the lady for sure, and thus he held back.The shop owner held Darryl's arm tightly, calling out loudly, "You paid, yes. But you'
What?At the words, everyone else present stopped short.What was this fellow saying? He was Darryl Darby of the Elysium Gate?The hero of the Nine Continents, Darryl Darby who founded the Elysium Gate?Whew…A few seconds later, William returned to his senses as he looked Darryl up and down. "You're Darryl Darby?"Darryl nodded, flashing a pained smile. "In the flesh." To tell the truth, he was considered someone famous in the Nine Continents, and it was quite embarrassing for him to be arrested as a human trafficker.Yet just as the words rang through the air, the shop owner stepped forward and pointed a finger right at Darryl's nose before launching into a tirade. "You've got some nerve pretending to be Darryl Darby of all people, you shameless bastard. Who do you think you are?"Indeed, the shop owner had always been doing business, and knew plenty despite not being a cultivator. She practically worshiped Darryl.As the words rang through the air, the crowd began to call o
