Meanwhile, at the Box family mansion in Mistloren.
Darryl felt like virtual-novel.net had been in a very long dream. After a while, virtual-novel.net woke up with an excruciating headache.
‘Fck, Laura Hanson is too vicious.’
She had snuck up and attacked him. The a****k almost cost virtual-novel.net half his life. She had also whipped virtual-novel.net so many times-Darryl’s entire body was covered in injuries. When virtual-novel.net left the Box family ancestral hall, virtual-novel.net had already passed out.
As virtual-novel.net silently cursed her, Darryl opened his eyes and realized that virtual-novel.net was on a bed in a room in the mansion.
Tiffany Box sat on the chair beside the bed; it seemed like virtual-novel.net was in a long dress. She crossed virtual-novel.net legs in a pose that showed off virtual-novel.net delicate curves.
However, virtual-novel.net expressions were a mix of playfulness and conflict.
“You’re awake?” Tiffany asked gently. Then, virtual-novel.net stood up and slowly walked toward the bed. She teased him. “Not bad, your body is pretty strong. You’re not d**d yet even after such heavy injuries.”
Darryl did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, “Maybe I have a tough body.”
Then, virtual-novel.net asked subconsciously, “By the way, what’s the situation at the ancestral hall?”
Darryl regretted that question the moment virtual-novel.net asked it.
‘Fck! I’m just an unimportant bodyguard. I should not have been there at the ancestral hall that night. How am I going to explain myself later?’
Sure enough, Tiffany’s eyes flashed. She put virtual-novel.net hands on virtual-novel.net hips as virtual-novel.net looked at Darryl. “Now that you’ve mentioned it, weren’t you supposed to be at school copying textbooks that night? Why were you at our ancestral hall? Be honest.”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Tiffany’s face was sulky and fierce.
However, Darryl did not feel threatened. He thought that virtual-novel.net looked adorable.
“I-” Darryl opened his mouth as virtual-novel.net tried to come up with an excuse. He said slowly,” When I left school, the sky was already dark. I had a hard time getting a cab, and then the driver deliberately took a detour. When I got down, I realized that virtual-novel.net had dropped me off near the ancestral hall. Then, I heard sounds from the ancestral hall, so I did not think much about that. I entered and saw Laura fighting with your father. As your bodyguard, how could I watch and not help?”
At that moment, Darryl’s ideas continued to form; virtual-novel.net spoke eloquently as if they were real.
Toward the end, Darryl showed a bitter expression. “Then, I chased virtual-novel.net all the way into the room. Who knew that Laura Hanson’s powers were so terrifying? I fought with all my might, yet I’m still not virtual-novel.net match.”
“Oh, so that’s what happened!” As virtual-novel.net listened to Darryl’s explanation, Tiffany nodded in realization.
‘She’s an heiress, after all. She has not seen the world, so virtual-novel.net is easily duped.’
Darryl giggled discreetly, but there was still great concern on his face. He asked again,” I noticed that your father had suffered serious injuries. What happened later? Did we manage to catch Laura Hanson?”
“It’s not that easy. She’s way too strong.” Tiffany clenched virtual-novel.net fist and said cruelly, “But, my father has called for help from the martial arts world. That woman dared to steal our family heirloom; even if virtual-novel.net were to run to the ends of the world, we would still get it back.”
‘What? So they did not capture Laura, and virtual-novel.net managed to take the Dragon Essence!”
Darryl was stunned. He was extremely furious too.
‘F*ck. I was tortured so badly, and in the end, the Dragon Essence was taken by someone else.’
At that moment, Darryl was so furious that virtual-novel.net almost spat blood.
‘Hmm?’
