Yalena could not contain her proud feeling when she noticed Bonnie's expression. "Unexpected, right? Darryl is my teacher. Just before you came into the room, he removed the constraints on me..."Bonnie gave a cold snort. She did not respond. Instead, she was silently adjusting her internal energy to recover her strength.Darryl took a step forward and said, "Bonnie, give it up. Both you and Yuri are fairies. How good is it to enjoy freedom in life? Why do you want to rule over the entire continent?""Shut up!"Bonnie trembled. She pointed at Darryl and shouted, "You're just a villain who ambushes people. You are not qualified to teach me!"Bonnie's eyes showed a cold and unwelcoming glint as she said, "Darryl, do you think that saving the Goddess of Light can turn the situation around? You are wrong! The Temple of Light remains under my control. Twelve Paladins, where are you guys?"When she hissed the last sentence, Bonnie stared at Darryl coldly and resentfully. Soon, twelve

Darryl smiled and mocked Bonnie. "Well, no point grumbling if you lose. Besides, you did not take control of the Temple of Light gloriously, too, am I right?""You—"Bonnie was blushing. She wanted to refute Darryl, but she did not know what to say."Saint Lord!"The Pegasus Paladin walked forward quickly, pointed at Bonnie, and shouted, "That woman is evil. Let's just kill her."The Golden Lion Paladin and the other paladins agreed and chimed in. "Yes, that woman is so evil, we can't keep her.""It's all because of her that the Temple of Light almost fell into disrepute.""Kill her!"Everyone was angry. Bonnie trembled. All of a sudden, she felt a little panicked.Bonnie was not at all afraid if she were to fall into someone else's hands because she was a fairy, and she could not be killed using ordinary means. On the other hand, Darryl was different. He knew about Bonnie's origin, and he knew many ways to make her suffer and wish she was dead. Darryl took a deep breath

"Bonnie!" Just as Bonnie was getting angry, she heard footsteps from outside the private room. Soon, Darryl entered with a smile on his face and asked, "How does it feel to be a prisoner?"Bonnie's face immediately reddened. "How dare you still come here, Darryl! I could have killed you at Pearl City but decided to spare your life, and now you dare to ambush me? So much for the hero of the Nine Mainland!"Darryl was not angry at what she said at all. He continued smiling and said, "It seems like you still need time for self-reflection. I came here not to argue with you but to ask you, where is Yuri?"Even though he was smiling, there was no disguising the panic in his eyes. After capturing Bonnie, he had searched through every nook and cranny at the Temple of Light and still could not find Yuri."Tsk, tsk, tsk. You two sure have a deep bond," Bonnie said in a sarcastic tone."Where is she?" Darryl was frowning, his patience running thin. Bonnie was not about to back down; she

Half an hour later, he had taken off his disguise and was walking out of the temple when he saw Thea outside."Darryl?! Why are you not in your disguise?" a startled Thea asked.Darryl smiled and said, "There's no need for that anymore."Thea thought about it and nodded. "You're right. You have a prominent status in the Temple of Light. No one in the whole of Pearl City would dare to behave impudently toward you. The Damien family has invited me to their banquet. I'm still contemplating whether I should go."At that, Darryl could not help but laugh. "Why not? I'll make it worth your while. Let's go together!"Thea nodded, and off they went. After a few minutes, they arrived at the Damien family's manor and were greeted with the sight of many fancy unicorn cars parked out front. The other families were there to suck up to the Damien family since they would soon control Pearl City. The guards did not stop them from entering because Thea had an invitation card, but their eyes widen

Immediately, about ten guards rushed into the hall and surrounded Darryl. All the guests started to back away, and judging from their expression; they could not help but feel smug that Darryl had finally met his just end. However, Darryl did not seem to be panicking. He chuckled softly, and his internal energy erupted from his body. The guards did not even have time to react before they were sent flying against the walls. That made Grady, Donnie, and the rest of the guests gasp out in horror. They had not seen him for a month, and he had come back even stronger? It was so silent in the hall that one could hear a pin drop. "Huh? Miss Lolita is here!" someone said, creating another wave of commotion. Soon, they saw a graceful figure entering the hall. She was drop-dead gorgeous, though a little pale in the face.Yes, it was Lolita, who had been locked up in her room by Donnie all those while. Donnie wanted her to join in the celebration of the Damien family taking control over Pea
