Zephyr's tone hardened as he observed the hesitation on Zack's face. He sounded annoyed as he asked, "Is something the matter? Do you not wish to do so, Your Highness?"Zack smiled sheepishly as he opened his mouth. "You see, Chester and his men wreaked great havoc in the royal city. One of them even pretended to be the Empress—an intolerable, huge crime of treason. I've ordered for them to be executed tomorrow, so I don't really think it's necessary to send them to the Heaven Watchers."Zephyr frowned. "How dare you!"Levin pointed at Zack as he shouted accusingly, "You've got quite some nerve for a mere mortal Emperor, daring to make such bargains with Heaven Watchers. Do you know that Darryl Darby has committed an impossible crime, and all of the Carters are to be held guilty as a result? Do we really need your permission to take them away for questioning? Could your say hold bigger authority than that of the Gods?"As he spoke, Levin's tone was sharp and incriminating. His aura

As he spoke, Dax leaned forward to press his face against Goddad's."Aargh!"The kid could hardly handle Dax's face full of stubble as he cried out in indignation. "Your beard's pricking me, Uncle Dax! Put me down, put me down!"Haha!Everyone burst out laughing.Chester cast a glance at a still-unconscious Shannon, frowning slightly.The next second, Chester asked Ambrose, "What's going on, Ambrose? Weren't you supposed to go and check on the situation with the pirates? How'd you end up with Shannon?"As the words rang through the air, everyone's gaze fell onto Ambrose.Ambrose took a deep breath, flashing a bitter smile. "The South Cloud Royals had just failed at trying to take down the palace when I got to the fishing village. Shannon had barely gotten out of it all alive as well…"Ambrose spent the next few minutes describing everything that had happened in detail.Toward the end, Ambrose said regretfully, "I thought that everything would be fine after we sent her back to

At the order, the rest of the men surged forwards, tying Darryl up in no time."Hey, hey. Watch it…"Darryl wanted nothing more than to fight back then. Unfortunately, his magical skills were not accessible at the moment, and all he had was the brute force of his unfortunate mortal body.Unable to hold off so many people, all he could do was struggle while yelling, "You've really got the wrong guy!"Slap!Just as his words rang through the air, the leader landed another slap onto Darryl's head as he roared, "Shut up, you!"As he spoke, he waved a hand, signaling for everyone to head back to the town in the distance with Darryl in tow.Motherf*cker!Darryl was truly speechless.Just his luck, right? First, his powers were locked up, and then he was mistaken for the wrong person. Upon thinking it through, could he… Could he look like the Derrick they spoke about?Darryl did not speak on the way back, but he figured out the gist of what was going on through eavesdropping on what

As he pondered to himself, Darryl noticed that Sheniqua had forgotten to lock the door. He slipped out quietly.Suddenly, ten figures clad in black could be seen trying to pass over the walls. They had their faces covered, and it was not difficult to tell that they were bandits."Argh!"At the sight of those people, Sheniqua let out a piercing scream. However, before she could shout for help, she had been captured and muffled by the bandits. The group leader growled ferociously, "Don't make another sound, or I'm going to kill you."As he spoke, he rested his long sword on Sheniqua's neck. The blade was ice cold, making Sheniqua tremble in fear as her face paled.Darryl frowned to himself. 'Motherf*cker. Was this a robbery?'Just then, the bandits discovered Darryl as well. They rushed over, tying his hands up.At the same time, cries blared out from the great hall at the Stanford mansion as they broke out in chaos."There's been a bandit attack!""Please send help!"Just then

As the final word rang through the air, Herod's gaze glinted coldly.Indeed, he planned to call upon a massacre tonight. Besides, the Stanfords did not care about their good-for-nothing son-in-law. He would be the first to die.Darryl's clothes were torn open to reveal his chest. One of the Snow Wolf Mountain members drew his long sword, walking forward briskly.'F*ck me!'At the sight, Darryl got the fright of his life. His forehead beaded with sweat as he called out, "Please hold on, everyone. You've got the wrong man. I'm not the Stanfords' son-in-law."As his words rang through the air, everyone, including Old Master Stanford and the surrounding Stanford members, began yelling as they could hardly contain their fury.'Derrick' was truly something else, still spouting such nonsense at this point.What was even more infuriating was that Selina had already been captured, and as her fiance, he did not only not bother thinking of a way to save her. Instead, he tried his best to p
