Chapter 5092
When they heard that, everyone stared at each other and fell silent.
'It sounds like the head of the Elixir Sector is right.'
Zacho took a deep breath and nodded in agreement. "Darryl is right. Let us get started. All
the elders have remained true to the North Sea Galaxy and me. They will not hurt the
Mistress, I believe. The search is merely a formality, and I am sure no one here would
object."
Then, Zacho waved to a servant girl and said, "You! Please search the elders."
The servant girl answered and was about to search them.
'Sh*t!'
Immediately, Magnum started to panic, and he could not help but shout," Sect Master, no
way. How could the North Sea Galaxy be bossed around by an outsider?
"Wouldn't the North Sea Galaxy become a joke within the community if we did as he said
and allowed our bodies to be searched?" ’D*mn it. I have the Hysteria Powder with me. If
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey found it, then I'm screwed. I must stop this.'
Magnum's yelling drew a frown from Zacho.
The other elders also started to get doubtful too. 'Why is Elder Walt against the search so
strongly?’
Darryl chuckled and looked at Magnum with an intense gaze. "Elder, do you mean you'd
be embarrassed if we search you today? And, if words get out, your fellow peers would
laugh at you?" "No sh*t!" Magnum rolled his eyes and said impolitely, "If I were to go to
the Pure Yang Division and search you, would you let me do that?” Deep down, he was
flustered and angry. Little did he know that he had fallen into Darryl's trap.
'Hmm...'
Darryl pretended to agree and nodded. "If someone were to go to the Pure Yang Division
and search me, of course, I would not agree to it. Isn't it shameful?"
As he spoke, his eyes flickered with mockery.
Magnum nodded. "Isn't it? You are unwilling to do that, but you insist on searching us, is
that right?"
Darryl shook his head. "No."
Darryl said solemnly, "According to this elder, your reputation is more important than the
Mistress' life. The Mistress may die from poisoning, but we must always safeguard the
elders' reputation. Am I right?" 1
The few elders' facial expressions changed immediately, and they appeared troubled.
At the same time, Zacho glared at Magnum with fury in his eyes.
"I-" At that moment, Magnum's face reddened, and he was lost for words. Meanwhile, he
also realized Darryl said all that to trap him.
As he thought to himself, Magnum quickly explained to Zacho, "Sect Master, I... I didn't
mean that. What I mean is the North Sea Galaxy would be embarrassed."
Before Zacho responded, Darryl sneered and interrupted him. "Elder, you refused to be
searched. Perhaps, you're the culprit. Do you have the antidote for the Hysteria Powder
with you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImmediately, everyone turned toward Magnum.
'Elder Walt looked off today.' 'Perhaps he's the culprit?'
Magnum turned pale and glared at Darryl as he faced the crowd's attention. He was
stunned, enraged, and constantly flustered.
'D*mn it! How did he know I'm the culprit?’
Magnum's face reddened as he thought, and he quickly defended himself." F*ck you! What
are you talking about? How can I be the culprit?"
Darryl chuckled. "If you're not the culprit, why did you object to the search? All the other
elders are fine with it except for you.
"If you're not hiding anything, why are you so nervous?"
Magnum was baffled, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. His mind turned
blank.
'Sh*t! I can't cover it anymore. What should I do?"
Magnum panicked, and his eyes flickered with ferocity as he yelled, "F*ck you! I've always
been above board! Why would I hide anything? On the contrary, it's you who's always
targeting me. I bet you're courting death."
Immediately, Magnum's internal energy erupted, and he struck Darryl with his palm.
