Grady's heart trembled. 'Did Maverick say he and his men almost died in Darryl's hands?''How's that live-in son-in-law so capable and powerful?'Darryl was a little impatient. "Have you decided yet?""I'll write a note. I'll write—" Grady had a sour look on his face; he kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking a worm. Grady was reluctant to agree to Darryl's condition.However, he had no other choice; Darryl had even subdued Maverick.Darryl smiled after Grady gave his promise. Then, Darryl told Maverick's men to bring paper and a pen.Shortly after that, Grady wrote the note. Darryl scanned through the note and saw no problem, so he kept the note and turned to leave.Olena and her subordinates were waiting for Darryl at the foot of the mountain. Lolita had not regained consciousness."It was a tough day! You all have worked hard!"When Darryl got to the foot of the mountain, he smiled at Olena. "You all should go back and take a good rest!"Mmm!Olena nodded and left

Damien was very excited. Then, he thought of something and said happily, "Lolita, you are now the family's decision-maker, so you'll have to step forward and make the call. At noon tomorrow, there will be an auction in Jewel City. I heard that Duke Rowan might be there. The Damien family is invited. Why don't you go and have a look?"'Auction?'Darryl was excited to hear about the auction. He was surprised to learn that the Roland Continent had auctions. Lolita seemed uninterested. She shook her head and said, "Grandfather, you know me. I never like that kind of event!"Damien laughed. Then, he smiled and patiently persuaded Lolita. "Of course, I know you well. However, now that you are the family decision-maker, you have to go out and maintain many relationships. How can you not step up for the family?"Damien looked at Darryl. "That's right; Darryl can go with you!"After that, Damien patted Lolita's head and walked out of the hall with a smile.Ugh!Lolita sighed helplessly

After a few seconds, Darryl snapped back to his senses. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves; he was unable to contain his excitement!He had decided that if no one bid for the piece of jade, he would buy it. On the auction stage...The man presiding over the auction heard the grumbles from the crowd and explained with a smile. "This piece of jade is of high quality, but the words engraved on it are rather weird. Duke Rowan got this piece of jade by chance, and he did not know what it was for. Therefore, he offered this up for auction!"The man looked around. "The starting price for this piece of jade is a thousand gold coins. Now, let's begin."A thousand gold coins?Many people around shook their heads and chuckled.It was just a piece of jade. How could it possibly be worth so much?The guests present were all celebrities and dignitaries; they were well-informed and knowledgeable. Who would be willing to bid for such a useless thing?For a moment, there was awkward sil

"Don't worry!" Darryl was calm. He reassured Lolita with a smile. "I have a way to do that." After crushing the pirates' lair on the Devil island, Darryl had sealed their largest treasure depository. The 10,000 gold coins he needed were just a drop in the bucket when Darryl had access to a treasure depository. Lolita stopped talking after she saw Darryl's solemn face. …At that moment, in the Damien family's garden in Pearl City.Damien was dressed in loose casual clothes as he was sitting by the pond, fishing leisurely!He felt relaxed after he handed all their family businesses over to Lolita. It was time for him to enjoy some leisure time."Master Damien?"Just as Damien was enjoying his time comfortably, a cold voice came from behind him.Damien was stunned and immediately turned around. Then, he saw a man in a black robe standing quietly behind him. The man was filled with a cold and unwelcoming breath of aura, like a dormant venomous viper. It was terrifying. The blac

Count Rowan laughed.He enjoyed the feeling of being admired and appreciated. He cracked a faint smile and said, "Well, since everyone is so enthusiastic, then I will try my best to do something."Then, he waved his hand at the people behind him and asked them to prepare the equipment needed.After a while, the metalwork bench was set up.Darryl saw that the metalwork bench in front of him was similar to the weapon casting bench in the Nine Mainland. Darryl had been to the Sword Casting Valley at the Famed Sword Manor in the Yellow Sea Continent, and he noticed the weapon casting bench was almost the same as the one before him.Darryl muttered, "Is he going to cast weapons on the spot?"Lolita, who was next to Darryl, heard it and whispered, "Probably. Alchemists are very rare in the Roland Continent. I heard that Count Rowan is a high-ranking person, and he has exceptional knowledge of metalwork. He is extraordinary!"Lolita's tone was calm when she was talking to Darryl, but
