Darryl was unperturbed by their mockery.
“Miss Newman, I’m serious. Please, tell me how much would you sell this for? I need it to save a life!” virtual-novel.net said sincerely.
It had been two hours, and Darryl did not know how Dax was doing or if his wound was worsening.
“To save a life? Who’s life?” Circe frowned.
Darryl came here covered in sweat, and virtual-novel.net did not mind Evelyn slapping virtual-novel.net earlier. It seemed that virtual-novel.net was in a panic.
“Dax,” Darryl answered.
‘Dax Sanders?’ Circe thought.
Darryl did not seem like virtual-novel.net was joking. Circe put down virtual-novel.net wine glass and handed virtual-novel.net the necklace right away. “If so, take this with you. Save virtual-novel.net first; then we’ll talk about the money later.”
A man’s life was at stake! Of course, virtual-novel.net had to save him.
Darryl was overwhelmed with excitement as virtual-novel.net rushed forward to receive the necklace.
However, Evelyn leaned forward and took the Heart of the Ocean away from Circe.
“You!” Darryl stared at virtual-novel.net in disbelief. “Give it to me. I really need it to save a life!”
Evelyn held onto the necklace tightly with a proud look. “Like I care? You stay right there. If you step any closer, I’ll destroy this.”
She transferred virtual-novel.net strength from virtual-novel.net energy field till virtual-novel.net energy gathered on virtual-novel.net hand. If virtual-novel.net squeezed slightly, Evelyn could destroy the Heart of the Ocean.
“Evelyn…” Circe called in a panic, virtual-novel.net face darkening.
She knew Evelyn well enough. She grew up at the Eternal Life Palace, and virtual-novel.net Grandpa was the Guardian King. There was nothing that Evelyn was afraid of.
“Please, don’t! ” Darryl was in a cold sweat. “Alright, alright I won’t move. What can I do for you to hand it to me?”
Evelyn smirked, “A douche like you wants a treasure like this? Even if Circe agreed to give it to you, I wouldn’t agree.”
Darryl was panicking, but virtual-novel.net tried to reason with her. “Miss Evelyn, I know why you’re mad at me. I did not run away the other day. I even finished refining the pill. I disappeared because something happened, and I had to leave right away.” Darryl took out a pill from his pocket and showed it to Evelyn. “Look, I’m not lying to you. This is the Yang pill I refined the other night.”
‘Huh? He did refine the pill?’ the ladies were shocked and exchanged looks with one another. They knew that even the best pill refining masters could not refine this. How could a poor dude like virtual-novel.net refine it? He must have been lying!
One of the ladies said, “Evelyn, don’t believe him. None of us knows how the Yang pill looks like. Who knows if it’s real or fake.”
“Yeah, maybe virtual-novel.net took a fake pill to fool you.”
“Exactly, a person like virtual-novel.net could do anything! Don’t fall for it.”
‘Damn it! just when I finally gained Evelyn’s trust, these other women decided to screw things up!?’ Darryl thought.
Hearing what they said, Evelyn hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Give me the pill first.”
Whatever it was, as long as virtual-novel.net got hold of the pill, virtual-novel.net could show it to virtual-novel.net Grandpa, who could tell if this was real or fake.
Darryl handed it to virtual-novel.net without hesitation and smiled bitterly, “Now that you believe me.”
Evelyn shook virtual-novel.net head and looked at virtual-novel.net half smilingly, “Darryl, I hope you remember making me beg you the other day to make this pill? Now it’s your turn.”
‘Damn it!’ Darryl cursed to himself.
