Chapter 5021
"Darryl Darby!"
Gromo had a murderous expression as he spat at Darryl and said, "If the pill is real, you
will have committed an unpardonable sin." "I was going to give the Golden Pill to the
Palace Master and only took it myself because of the bet I made with you. The Palace
Master will lose the opportunity to improve his skills, which will be your doing. This will be
your fault.”
Whoa...
As the words reverberated through the air, the crowd erupted in discussions.
"Elder Gromo is not wrong." "Exactly. Only the Palace Master can take the Golden Pill, but
Darryl Darby forced a bet onto Elder Gromo. Wouldn't the Palace Master have lost his
chance if the Golden Pill was real?" "Who’s to say it's not?"
The crowd's discussion grew, none of them in Darryl's favor.
Yet, Darryl accepted them with a smile, his emotions unaffected in the least.
Cormac grew slightly anxious. He rushed forward, whispering to Darryl in a low tone, "Did
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou see it, Brother Darryl? That Golden Pill won't work?"
The Golden Pill was a treasure one might not chance upon even in a thousand years. Yet,
Gromo had found it.
Yet, Darryl had the nerve to say it would not work.
It would be best if that were the case. The Palace Master would be livid if it still had its
properties, and the pill had been Gromo's gift to him. However, Gromo had taken it just
because of something Darryl had said.
If Darryl had made a mistake, he might not only bring upon the Palace
Master's rage and punishment but also get himself into trouble. After all, Darryl had only
gotten his position as head of the Elixir Sector by recommending himself for it.
"Don't worry!"
Darryl nodded while responding reassuringly to Cormac's anxiety. At the same time, he
was slightly amused by Cormac's belief that he would be a burden.
Cormac heaved a sigh of relief at his words. However, he was unable to subdue the
anxiety in his chest completely.
All at once, the palace fell silent.
Everyone stared silently at Gromo, waiting for the pill's effects to kick in.
Suci sat on her throne, her exquisite features expressionless despite the raging thoughts
in her head.
That Golden Pill had better not work.
If it did, she would have missed a precious opportunity.
They would just have to wait and see.
Quickly enough, ten minutes passed by.
Gromo's expression was one of pure delight. He could not help but smirk at Darryl as he
said, "See that, idiot? Nothing's happening to me. Your claims of the Golden Pill being fake
were all nonsense."
The crowd buzzed with discussion as the words rang through the air.
"From the looks of it, there seems to be nothing wrong with the Golden Pill." "Darryl is just
some young fool. Even if he did know how to make pills, how would he have seen
something as rare as the Golden Pill before?" "Exactly! He lied about the Golden Pill to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgain favor. Well, he's done it now! I’d like to see how he's going to get out of that pickle."
Cormac trembled with fear, barely able to stand, as he heard the crowd essentially saying
the same thing.
He was doomed.
From the looks of it, the Golden Pill did not seem to work. 1
Darryl seemed calm. He did not pay any attention to what anyone around him said.
Instead, he looked at Gromo with a hint of a smile. "You keep saying the Golden Pill hasn't
lost its effect. Well, have your powers improved?"
Gromo was quite something, still oblivious to the fact that he was about to be in hot water.
Gromo was immediately taken aback when Darryl said that.
Simultaneously, he was confused; he had a point. Why did he show no improvement in his
abilities after taking the Golden Pill?
At the same time, the crowd frowned.
"Yeah. It doesn't look like Elder Gromo's skills have improved.
"That's right. It's been quite a while, but nothing happened." "What's going on?"
All at once, the crowd broke out into discussion. Everyone was equally confused, unsure of
what was happening.
