It was obvious that the pill worked.The next second, Simone stretched her hand out in a tone that left no room for retaliation. "Give it to me!""Alright, here you go!"Darryl smiled lightly at the desperation in Simone's eyes, handing the pill over. Yet just as Simone was about to take it from him, he tilted his hand and it rolled onto the ground.The pill was extremely fragile, and smashed into pieces once it hit the ground.Indeed, Darryl had done so on purpose.This kid had almost tortured Darryl to death seconds ago. How could he have just given her the Chilly Marrow Pill so easily?"Oh!"Darryl eyes the shattered pill on the ground, speaking in a false tone, "Oops, my hand slipped. Those Goldnail Scorpions really drained me of energy. Sorry!"As he spoke, Darryl stared at Simone with the ghost of a smile on his face."You…"Simone's expression shifted, beside herself with rage. "How dare you, Darryl Darby! You tricked me…"Simone's gaze flashed as she spoke, radiatin

Darryl let out a breath, before speaking slowly. "The poison's been in your body for too long, it's in your bloodstream. It'll be impossible to heal you in one go. You need to take one of these everyday, and keep doing so for a whole year to get rid of it completely."In that case…Simone bit her lip. "Well… could you make me some more…"Darryl could not help but cry out at the words. "Do you think this stuff is easy to make, kid? Do you know how precious those herbs were? Anyways, I only had enough on me to make one."What was she going to do then?Just then, Simone's brows furrowed in panic.Darryl flashed her a smile. "How about this. I'll give you the recipe to make the pills— but only if you let me go. Oh, and you must promise me one thing.""Also, I'm only going to say this once. Your brother's death was completely caused by Tyson, and had nothing to do with the Raksasa tribe or their Empress. Tyson's also paid for his deeds."Simone bit her lip at the words, falling sile

Yet just then, a loud crash could be heard from the lobby. Darryl looked over, and saw Avalon standing before a pile of shattered ceramics with an awkward expression on her face.He hurried over, speaking in a warm tone. "What happened? Are you hurt?"Avalon shook her head, hanging it in guilt. "I'm fine. I just saw the pretty vase, and touched it a little. I didn't know it would break so easily."Following that, Avalon lowered her voice to a whisper. "Does it cost a lot?""That's alright!" Darryl chuckled. "It's just a vase."As he spoke, Darryl eyed the vase. It was fine and smooth, and looked to be around a few centuries old judging from the design on it.Yet to Felix, this would be hardly anything."Hey!"Just as the pair were speaking, the receptionist hurried over. She cried out at the sight of the shattered vase. "What's going on here? Do you know how much this vase is? Can you even afford it?"As the words rang through the air, a few security guards rushed over to surr

Sensing Felix's emotion, Darryl smiled lightly. "Who else could it be? Say, are you in Mistloren right now? It's been a few years since we last saw each other. We should catch up!""Alright, alright…" Felix was beside himself with emotion, practically at a loss for words.Even if he were not in Mistloren, he would have made it there by plane if he had to."Oh, right!"Just then, Darryl cast a glance at Calvin before saying into the phone, "Someone who came with me to one of your hotels broke one of your vases, and your men are a bit of a pain about it. Can you handle this?"What?Felix flared up in anger at the words at once, and shouted into the phone, "Is the person in charge next to you, Brother Darryl? Give him the phone…"Who had the audacity to find fault with Brother Darryl…Darryl smiled wordlessly. He beckoned to Calvin, asking for him to answer the phone.Gulp!A strange fear washed over Calvin then. He was no fool, and it was clear what was happening. This man real

The Ice Ring Snake was a rather rare poisonous snake. Its skin could be used to make pills, and they were usually only found in cold places.One bite from the Ice Ring Snake would cause its ice poison to spread through one's body, and one would die immediately from the frost.Avalon had been bitten by the Ice Ring Snake and survived. That in itself was enough of a miracle, considering she was so young."Ice Ring Snake?" Avalon looked nothing but confused at the words. "Is that what that long blue worm was called?"Darryl looked at her solemnly. "When were you bitten?"Avalon pondered briefly before piping up. "Around half a year ago, at the foot of a snowy mountain. I wasn't watching where I went, and it bit me. I just remembered that it was a really pretty worm, all icy and blue.""Then I got really cold, and my legs went numb. I thought I was going to die, so I kept running, and running…"Avalon raised her head to look at Darryl then, her expression hardening. "After that, I w
