At Kent’s response, Megan has no words. She shook her head silently. Skyler laughed mischievously, “Officer Castello, you’ve got to be kidding me! I took such a huge effort to kidnap you three, why should I let them go at your command?” He looked at Kent and said, “I know you, you’re one of Donghai City’s rich brat, Kent Hough isn’t it?” Kent nodded his head frantically, trying to appease Skyler, he offered, “Yes, I am! If you let me go, I’ll give you money! Just name your price! I’ll give it all to you!” Skyler laughed, “Afraid of death, are you? I heard you and Officer Castello got engaged. Am I right? As a man, don’t you want to save your fiancée?” Kent opened his mouth, but no words came out. He swallowed hard. Must be still in shock. Skyler ignored him and turned to Darryl, “To be able to have a meal with Young Master Kent, you must be rich too.” Darryl could not understand what Skyler meant by that, he frowned. Skyler continued with a twisted smile, “Alright, you tw
Amid the panic, Darryl wanted to cultivate his Inner Force. However, the effect of the powder he inhaled before was too strong, his strength had not recovered. Darryl was in despair. His palm was being forced open, one of the men lifted a knife. The man was about to swing the knife down when Skyler howled, “F*ck, Stop!” The man stopped in mid-air. He looked confused but took a step back nevertheless. Skyler immediately walked toward Darryl and took a good look at the ring on Darryl’s left thumb. “Where did you get this thumb ring from?” he exclaimed. Skyler could not suppress the agitation in his heart. He was familiar with this black and white jade ring, it is the symbol of one of the Six Orthodox Sects and Clans—The Tianshan. Though Tianshan might belong to one of the Six and was considered a respectable clan, they—like the Grandmaster Heaven Cult—are more morally ambiguous. Furthermore, those in the higher order of the cult know that Tianshan and Grandmaster Heaven have an
Darryl secretly scanned his surroundings. He realized that the decor here is much more intricate than the rest. This must be their resting area. As if right on cue, Darryl’s stomach growled. He did not eat much at the Oriental Pearl, only had a few cups of tea. He felt a little embarrassed.Skyler was an observant man. He chuckled, “My lord, please wait a while. I’ll get my men to prepare some food and wine. We’ll drink till we drop! Haha! By the way, Lord East King, after drinking we can each take turns on that Megan Castello. She’s really attractive! Haha!” “Right, right,” dismissed Darryl. As Skyler left, Darryl realized that it is a good time to walk around, to attempt to locate the exit. The guards did not stop Darryl as left the room but bowed to him. Darryl got bolder, but to not create any suspicion, he did not return to the main hall—he followed the tunnels, exploring while contemplating his next step. How is he going to rescue Megan once he finds the exit?Darryl real
Darryl laughed at Megan, and whispered, “They’ve mistaken me for some sort of King, so I just went along with it.” Megan was impressed. This live-in son-in-law has proven his worth time and again. “I’ll say, no wonder they treat you so well—turns out they mistook you for someone else!” sneered Kent. “Well, what are you waiting for? They’ve gone for a drink, uncuff us now!” he demanded. …This retard deserves a slap. Kent’s condescending tone annoyed Darryl so he ignored him. Megan was restless as well. She arrested so many of Skyler’s men. He definitely will not let her go that easily. Who knows what he might do to her after drinking. Midst the panic, Megan got curious, ‘Why is Darryl so calm?’ THUD! THUD! THUD! Guards started passing out everywhere. Skyler was unconscious as well, quietly leaning on the wall. The only conscious people left in the underground manor were Darryl, Megan, and Kent. “Ho-ho! Great job, live-in son-in-law!” praised Kent, albeit still sounding a
Only Darryl can save him now. “Darryl, please I beg of you, save him,” Megan said in distress. Darryl smiled gently, “How? How would you beg? It has to be sincere.” “What do you mean?” Megan asked lightly. “How about, if you call me “my good brother”—then I’ll let him go,” offered Darryl playfully. Megan’s face flushed. She bit her lip in deep thought. This is the first time that anyone has ever requested this from her. She’s usually high in seniority and rank that everyone refers to her as an elder sister. Kent could take this humiliation no longer. He was about to interrupt, but then he realized that his life is currently in Darryl’s hand—so he swallowed his pride. “If you’re not going to do that, I’m going to go,” chipped in Darryl jovially. At the same time, he thought, ‘D*mn this Megan is perfect in every way. It’s such a waste that she’s getting married to Kent.’ “Don’t go! My…my good brother,” Megan said softly. As her voice fell, she looked down with embarrassme
Lily looked gloomy. “What happened?” asked Darryl. He was happy to see Lily. Lily sighed, “Grandma ordered for a family meeting.” Darryl frowned. ‘Another family meeting? Granny Lyndon seems to like family meetings a whole lot. What on earth does she want?’ “I’ll go with you,” offered Darryl. It was only on the way when he found out the purpose of the meeting—Trent Young was arrested. He initially agreed to twenty percent of the Lyndon estate shares, but the deal did not go through. Many in the Lyndon family blamed Lily for this, as she was not willing to cooperate. People are selfish. If they had to pick between monetary gains or family, many would pick the former without any hesitation. Trent’s actions were despicable. Everyone was mad at him yesterday, but at second thought, they—including Granny Lyndon—felt that Lily made a huge fuss over a minor issue. Today’s meeting is clearly intended for Lily. “What should I do? They will definitely reprimand me,” asked Lily wo
Upon hearing Granny Lyndon’s words, Lily shuddered in despair. William and the rest were gloating with excitement. They do not care about Lily’s happiness. What truly matters is that they get to set up a new company with Trent’s money. Darryl chuckled at the on-going conversation. “What are you laughing at?” Granny Lyndon asked angrily. Darryl mocked, “I’m laughing at this family! The great Lyndon family can’t even manage their estate, yet they pushed the blame on a woman. What’s even more pathetic is that, for the alleged future of the Lyndons, you’re willing to sacrifice even your granddaughter.” “Our family matters have nothing to do with you! Lily will only be happy with Trent, not with a loser like you!” rebuked Granny Lyndon. Darryl took a deep breath, and continued, “Ultimately, you bunch are just upset that most of the Lyndon family shares are owned by other people. Just because you don’t have the competence, you sell the women in your family out in exchange for you
Paul James called her sis-in-law. Is Lily having an affair? Everyone was dumbfounded. Paul then walked up to Darryl, and gave him a bow! “Bro, if I had known sis-in-law was Lily, I wouldn’t need to run an extra trip.” Darryl said nothing but nodded. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll make a move,” Paul said, then left. Everything happened too fast, only when Paul left, the Lyndons came to their senses. What on earth is going on? Fifty-one percent of the shares now belong to Lily? Granny Lyndon stared at Lily in dismay. She wanted to remark, but was at a loss for words. Lily on the other hand was trembling. It was like a dream. She could no longer hide her curiosity, she asked Darryl, “Darryl, you and Paul…” “Just a friend,” Darryl replied casually. He wanted to stop Lily from probing further, he added, “I’ve got to go, if not I’ll be late for work.” Then he turned and left. In the car, he was slightly worried. He sent a text to Lily, “Hold on tight to the shares. Even i
