This was awkward. He really was Darryl. He hadn’t believed it earlier and kept mocking him.
Tanya, who was standing by the side, looked at Darryl. She was trembling with joy.
Great! Finally, someone who could prove Darryl’s identity.
"Jonas!"
At that moment, Colt had recovered from the unexpected turn of events and shouted at Jonas. "Quick, apologize to Darryl immediately!"
When he said this, Colt’s gaze was stern and unquestionable. Colt had always been very protective of his second son. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not have made his son apologize.
However, Darryl was different. His identity was not to be underestimated. Not only was he the Sect Master of Elysium Gate, he was also the emperor of Westrington. How could he afford to offend such an existence?
“I—”
Jonas's heart skipped a beat. He was very resistant. But it was obvious from his father's expression that he had to obey.
Jonas lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with Darryl. He mumbled, "I'm…I'm sorry. I failed to recognize the golden mask earlier and have offended you. I hope you can forgive me."
Right then, Jonas felt very aggrieved. He had originally wanted his father to stand up for him and to teach this kid a lesson. However, he never expected that this person was truly Darryl Darby.
Darryl smiled and looked at Jonas. "Forget it. I won’t take it to heart."
With that, Darryl turned to Colt and said seriously. "Colt Dokko, now that you've confirmed my identity, you have to consider the Chaotic Mountain Range situation as soon as possible."
Colt hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is this true or..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Darryl interrupted, "Colt Dokko, you don't have to doubt it. It is true. Otherwise, Yang Jian would not have sent people over. Even Yang Jian is so important to him. Is it fake?”
Upon hearing this, Colt was stunned for a moment. Curiously, he asked, "Sect Master, your Diyuan Continent has just suspended the war with the North Sanctuary Continent. Do you believe in Yang Jian?"
Darryl nodded solemnly. Then, he looked at Gonggong next to him. "This concerns the safety of nine cities in the Mainland. Why won’t you believe me? This is Her Excellency Gonggong. Yang Jian was sent to investigate the Chaos Mountain Range with me. Now, everyone should believe me, right?"
As soon as he said that, the entire hall went into an uproar. Everyone stared at Gonggong in shock.
Darryl told Colt everything he knew and discussed ways to set up defenses.
Gradually, the sky turned dark. Bob immediately ordered the maids to arrange rooms for Darryl and Gonggong to rest.
…
Darryl had drank a lot in the afternoon and was sleeping soundly.
Without a sound, a slim figure pushed open the door of his room and walked in.
Under the moonlight, he saw a beautiful and cold face. It was Gonggong.
Gonggong held up a dagger tightly as she slowly approached Darryl, who was now lying on the ground. Listening to Darryl’s even breathing, Gonggong bit her lips, a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
On the way to the Zhongyuan Continent, Gonggong had been unable to find an opportunity to assassinate Darryl due to Qiongqi's protection. Tonight, the opportunity finally came.
This was the Snyder's Family residence. Just that afternoon, Darryl had been drinking with Colt. If Darryl were to die here, the Snyder Family and the Dokko Family would not be able to get away with it. No one would suspect her at all.
