The jade scroll had lost its antique luster. Even though the texture was refined and white, it had a dull appearance. The inscription's color faded as well.More importantly, the antique traces on the jade scroll's corner have vanished.How could that have happened?The shop owner felt as if he had been struck by lightning at that moment. He was perplexed and trembling slightly.He had spent a few hundred thousand dollars on buying a counterfeit.Bloody hell! It truly was fake!Elgar's expression was hideous as well."Elgar!" Loona was in awe of Darryl's observation. At that moment, she looked at Elgar with disdain and coldly said, "If you don't understand antiques, don't simply buy them in the future. My friend had already said it is an imitation, yet you refuse to listen."Elgar was already in a bad mood. When he heard what Loona said, it added fuel to the fire. He was fuming."Bloody hell!" Elgar swore and grabbed the owner by the collar. "How dare you lie to me?"Then, he
"Don't worry, I'll deal with it," Darryl said softly and got Loona to step aside. Then, he welcomed their attack.As a man, Darryl understood how Elgar felt at that moment. How could he bear to be embarrassed in front of the person he liked? Which was why that fight was unavoidable.When the crowd saw the situation, they retreated backward, afraid of becoming involved in the fight.At that moment, Elgar looked at Darryl closely with scorn and smugness on his face.'Dude, how dare you go against me in my territory. I'll make you cry!'Elgar saw the man before him as nothing more than Loona's ordinary friend, devoid of power or support. He was no match for him.However, he was wrong!Bam!Darryl clashed with Elgar's men in the blink of an eye. There were a few muffled grunts. Elgar's men were already on the floor, wailing in pain before the crowd outside the door could see anything clearly.Darryl had already shown mercy. If not, they would have been dead already.What?Elgar'
When Darryl pointed out that his item was counterfeit, the shop owner was extremely unhappy, but Darryl stopped Elgar from smashing his shop in the nick of time. The owner admired such heroism.In response to the owner's concerns, Darryl smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's fine."Darryl saw Elgar as nothing more than a spoiled brat. He did not even consider him an adversary.Darryl's nonchalance worried the owner, but there was nothing he could do.Loona was also extremely calm. After all, Darryl was the guest of the Queen. He was not a person a spoiled brat like Elgar should offend.However, she felt helpless because Elgar refused to listen to her advice."Good one!"Elgar came to his senses at that precise moment. With a sour expression, he pointed at Darryl. "I dare you to wait for me here. Don't leave; I will go get help."Get help?Darryl was delighted to hear that. He nodded and said, "Okay, go get help."Then, he calmly walked forward to the side and sat on a chai
As Elgar's father, Tai understood his son very well."Dad!"Facing his reprimands, Elgar was unimpressed. "Who says I always cause trouble? It's not my fault today. That dude deliberately mocked me. He even hurt me."The more Elgar thought about it, the angrier he got. "I will break his limbs today."Then, Elgar glared at Darryl.Tai furrowed his brows and looked in where Elgar was looking.The moment he saw Darryl, Tai was stunned. His mind was buzzing, and he was so frightened he almost slumped to the ground.'Bloody hell, my stupid son wants to beat up His Excellency?Elgar did not notice that something was off with his father. He yelled at the warriors and said, "Why are you still standing around? Do it!"The warriors raised their weapons once more when they received orders."Stop it!"Tai was terrified and immediately yelled.They were all stunned, whether it was Elgar or the warriors. They did not seem to understand why Tai had such a strong reaction.Slap!Tai rush
Hmm…Darryl fell silent, nodding his head. "You could say that."Following that, he told Loona a little about the antiques.Loona fell into a daze listening to him, her respect and admiration for Darryl growing by the second.The pair continued to talk as they moved along, and soon enough, they had returned to the palace.Darryl immediately bid farewell to Monna once he arrived, knowing it was time to return to the Nine Continents after having rested enough there.Monna and Loona were reluctant to say their goodbyes, but they knew Darryl's duties and that he could not stay there.Upon leaving, Darryl did not fly back. Instead, he took to the journey by foot, admiring the view along the way.'Oh?'He reached a mountain crossing and saw a little girl seated in front of it. She was covered in dirt and filth, a broken bowl placed in front of her as she begged.It was a road few people walked on, and the girl was alone where she was, making for a rather pitiful sight.Seeing that
Simone let out a soft sigh as she got to her feet."So you don't know who I am. Alright, listen well and clear. I'm Simone Savage—the sister of Solomon Savage from the Skyway Association!"'The Skyway Association?'Darryl frowned to himself at her words. "I don't know your brother. Do you think you've got the wrong guy?"Darryl knew about the Skyway Association being taken down, of course. Monna had punished Tyson greatly for it. On top of that, Darryl had also heard of Solomon Savage. He just did not expect him to have such a pretty and charming sister.At the thought, Darryl could not help but look at Simone up and down. She was clad in a pale yellow dress that highlighted all her breathtaking curves. With a pair of lovely, slim legs to boot, any man would find it hard to take their eyes off her.Simone's gaze flashed coldly as she sensed Darryl's gaze, and she walked up to him.Darryl's breath was lodged in his throat at the sight of Simone coming closer.Suddenly, Simone bi
Darryl's tone was calm as he spoke, but it left no room for retaliation.Simone smirked as she lost her patience at Darryl's words."Alright. I'm not going to make this hard for you, Darryl Darby. Work with me and I'll give you a chance. If you don't, don't fault me for what happens to you!"Simone then turned around to pick up a curious-looking box from the corner of the room.'F*ck!'Darryl's expression shifted at the sight of what was in the box as he flared up in shock and anger.There were over ten small scorpions about the size of a thumbnail in the box. They were completely golden in color and looked like beautifully crafted works of art, but Darryl knew what they were.The rare Goldnail Scorpions.The Goldnail Scorpions were not poisonous, but they were infamous in the wandering world. That was because they liked to sting one's acupoint's the most, and one sting from them would bring about unbearable pain.Darryl would have never been able to guess that Simone would be
Darryl was right— Simone had been poisoned by the Tepan Snake.Simone had been visiting an ancient tomb two years ago. The tomb had been built near a piece of land with underground lava, where a Tepan Snake had been residing for centuries.Simone had managed to take the Tepan Snake down after almost fifty rounds of battle, but she had in turn been poisoned with its flame.In the next two years to come, she had tried various methods to expel the poison from her body— but they were all to no avail. All she could do was use her internal energy to suppress it, and it would act out every half a year.And every time this happened, she would feel an unbearable pain as if she was on fire.Simone's face was flushed scarlet then. The flame of the fire poison was agonizing, and she could not help but let out a low moan.Ha ha…Darryl smirked to himself at the sight. It just had to be karma for this kid torturing him.Simone flared up in anger at the look on Darryl's face, roaring at him,
