Chapter 5471
As the words rang through the air, everyone else looked at Darryl expectantly.
They knew well enough that if the news of them not being saved got out, the reputation of
both the Heavenly Ocean Sect and the North Star Galaxy would be thoroughly ruined.
Save you?
Seeing Martin change his demeanor so suddenly, Darryl could not help but chuckle. "You
want me to save you? What did you say earlier? Didn't you just accuse me of forming an
alliance with the True Flame Sect?"
Uhh...
Embarrassment washed over everyone as they grew increasingly anxious.
The next second, Martin said in a placating tone, ’Master Darby, that was truly my fault. I
don't know what came over me that made me say that. I'm serious, we're all doomed if
you don't save us."
Martin was apologizing then, but his chest throbbed with resentment.
'F*ck! I'm still the Head Elder at the end of the day! How dare you find fault with me in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfront of everyone?! Just you wait, I'm going to make you regret all of this.’ 1
Evan could not help but pipe up an apology from the sides as well. "Exactly.
That was truly my fault, Master Darryl. Please forgive us."
Evan was also extremely angered, but he knew that it was best to remain silent.
Seeing Evan speak, Darryl shook his head as he pretended to be deep in thought.
Darryl did not intend to abandon them. It was just that Martin and the rest had truly been
too much. He was going to take the opportunity to teach them a little lesson.
Rachelle could not stand and watch any longer. She could not help but yank Darryl to the
side and whisper, "Darryl, please don't try to find fault with them anymore. Let them go."
To tell the truth, Rachelle was quite angered from being accused of having an affair with
Darryl by Martin earlier. It was just a few comments, and not too big of a deal. More
importantly, they would need the help of the North Star Galaxy and the Heavenly Ocean
Sect if they were to want to take down Prince Auten later.
Darryl smiled, lowering his voice to whisper to Rachelle, "Don't worry, I'm not going to
abandon them. Just teaching them a little lesson."
As he spoke, Darryl coughed and cleared his throat before putting on a pained expression
as he replied to Martin, "Alright, then. Since you've owned up to your mistakes, I'll be the
bigger person. I've just got one condition before I let you go."
His tone was calm, but it left no room for retaliation.
A condition?
Seeing the look on Darryl's face, Martin frowned. He did not know what was going on, but
he still managed to say, "What is it?"
Darryl flashed a smile and spoke in a serious tone.
"It's simple. You must first make a public apology to the Pure Yang Division once we safely
leave the Heavenly Secret Palace. I still haven't forgotten the ruckus you caused a while
back with my Palace Master.
"Also, you must swear to never attempt anything regarding Lindsey and the Heavenly
Secret Palace.
"If you're alright with all of that, I'll let them go immediately. If you can't, I'll have to say
we have nothing to do with the lot of you and you'll be left to fend for yourselves."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl leaned on the palace entrance, an uncaring look on his face.
What?
Everyone else felt their chests thud as they stared intently at Darryl in disbelief and fury.
Darryl Darby was truly too much.
Back at the underground town of the Heavenly Secret Palace, Darryl had taken away the
only remaining descendant, Lindsey, as well as taking away the Spirit of the Heavenly
Secret. It had wasted the efforts of all the other sects, which made their seeking of justice
at the Pure Yang Division more than understandable.
However, there he was, asking for a public apology from the Heavenly Ocean Sect and the
North Sea Galaxy.
The three main sects had always maintained equal ground, and the apology would place
them significantly under the Pure Yang Division.
How was their reputation going to survive?
Whew...
Evan and Martin exchanged a glance, holding back the rage in their chests.
