Slap! Slap! Slap!
Darryl felt his brain buzzed from the continued slaps. A line of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Megan became even more furious as virtual-novel.net bellowed at Darryl. “Go to hell, traitor!”
She had a long sword in virtual-novel.net hand, and virtual-novel.net used it to stab Darryl’s heart.
Clang!
However, a Buddhist bead hit Megan’s long sword— it threw it askew.
It was Master Reed.
Megan retreated a few steps backward—the long sword almost flew out of virtual-novel.net hand. She looked at Master Reed in surprise. “Master—what are you doing?”
Everyone else was also confused.
Darry was a scumbag! Did virtual-novel.net not deserve to die?
Why did Master Reed save him?
Master Reed put his palms together devoutly. “Amitabha.”
Master Reed looked at the puzzled group of people and explained, “Even though Darryl had committed a heinous crime, we could still use virtual-novel.net to our advantage since the enemy is here. As a part of the New World army, virtual-novel.net may be useful to us.”
Useful?
How could Darryl possibly be useful?
The crowd exchanged looks with each other as their expressions changed.
Master Reed looked at Darryl quietly and said, “Darryl, regardless of the reason for your refuge from the New World Army, I suggest that you help us to deal with the enemy. Remember, your parents are in our hands. If you still have a little conscience, you’d help us to deal with the enemy at hand. I promise to release your parents if you agree to do it.”
Deal with the New World army?
Darryl hesitated, but virtual-novel.net met Master Reed’s gaze. “What do you want me to do?”
Darryl had never taken refuge from the New World army. However, virtual-novel.net would agree to their plans as long as it was a reasonable request and virtual-novel.net could free his parents.
Master Reed did not answer him. Instead, virtual-novel.net glanced at Master Leonard, who stood beside him.
Master Leonard stepped forward. He looked at Darryl coldly as virtual-novel.net enunciated his words. “I have a bottle of Ecstasy Elixir. Go to the New World’s tent and put this into their drinking water. Then, your task is complete.”
Master Leonard threw a jade bottle at Darryl.
When they had decided to detain Darryl’s parents, Master Leonard had thought about their next more carefully. He felt that they should not kill Darryl; it was better to get virtual-novel.net to poison the New World army.
Everyone around understood the situation, and they admired Master Leonard’s quick wit.
“Master Leonard is smart to have this foresight.”
“Yeah, asking this scumbag to poison the New World army is the only way for virtual-novel.net to show his value.”
Darryl sighed after virtual-novel.net realized their true intention; virtual-novel.net was furious! He wanted to summon his Elysium Gate brothers to fight against those martial sects!
Since the New World army was just outside the city, their common enemy would be the winner if the Elysium Gate and the six major sects were to get into a fight.
Darryl gritted his teeth; virtual-novel.net was silent for a few minutes. Then, they heard virtual-novel.net hissed. “Fine, I’ll do it”
Darryl shivered. If it were not for the enemy, virtual-novel.net would have called for his Elysium Gate disciples to kill them—he would wipe them all out!
However, virtual-novel.net had to suck it in; virtual-novel.net could not mess around when the enemy was only one step behind them. He could only help his parents if virtual-novel.net agreed to poison the New World army’s water.
Master Leonard smiled and nodded. “Okay, cut virtual-novel.net loose.”
Several disciples went to Darryl and untied the ropes that bound him.
At the same time, Master Leonard smiled and said, “You have three days. If you fail in poisoning the enemy in these three days, then don’t you blame us for the consequences.”
All eyes were on Darryl; they sneered at him.
To them, Darryl was only a tool to deal with the New World army.
A scumbag like virtual-novel.net did not deserve to be treated like a human.
“You had better not let us down,” Megan warned virtual-novel.net with a frosty face; virtual-novel.net looked emotionless.
If Darryl were not useful, virtual-novel.net would have virtual-novel.net killed on the spot.
Darryl did not even look at her. He bent to pick up the jade bottle and said solemnly to Drake, “Dad, please take care of mom. I will not allow anything to happen to any of you.”
