Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2840

Slap!

Melody smacked him again before he finished speaking as she yelled at Grayson. "Why did I hit you? Who gave you permission to set up a checkpoint in Black Water Town and collect money from pedestrians?"

Melody's body trembled when she said that.

"Alliance Master!"

Grayson wanted to cry, but there were no tears. He replied unwillingly, "You have not been around all this while. The leaders from each mercenary group have decided to set up this checkpoint. Besides, this man did not respect our mercenary group alliance. Was I wrong for teaching him a lesson?"

Melody's body trembled. "Shut your mouth. Do you know this person is my—"

Cough, cough!

Before she could finish speaking, Darryl immediately coughed a few times, signaling Melody with his eyes.

That was right; Darryl did not wish to reveal his identity. Zhang Jue had framed him for disrespecting Chang Er, and that matter was spread all across the community. Darryl did not want to expose his identity before the truth was revealed.

Melody was an intelligent woman; she understood that her master did not wish to expose his identity.

Then, she turned to Grayson and said coldly, "That person is my honorable guest. You being rude to him is disrespecting me! Also, get all the leaders of the mercenary groups to meet me."

What?!

Grayson and the others around them were all astonished after she spoke.

'That person is the alliance master's important guest? He dressed so ordinarily; how did he get such an identity!'

Grayson was stunned entirely too! He stared blankly at Darryl; he could not speak. The alliance master that he respected stood in front of Darryl with admiration!

'How is this possible? That young man doesn't look like someone with any background. How can he be the alliance master's honorable guest?'

'It's obvious that he is a live-in son-in-law!'

"Sorry! Sorry!" Grayson almost cried. He continued to bow and apologize to Darryl.

Darryl looked calmed; he was not bothered by that.

Melody released her hands when she felt Yennie's eyes on her. Her exquisite face displayed a sense of awkwardness.

"Yes…"

Then, Melody walked forward and smiled at Yennie. "This must be Master's wife. How do you do? I am Melody, and I just became Master's apprentice not too long ago."

Melody bowed toward Yennie with respect.

Melody thought of her master as a famous warrior across the Nine Mainland. He had many close acquaintances around him, for example, Sect Master of Artemis Sect, Debra, former New World Princess, Yvette—all of them were unique and beautiful. However, the person in front of her, no matter her aura or her looks, was a goddess; she must be a close acquaintance of her master.

Most importantly, that woman was wearing her master's jacket. Why would they be so intimate if she were not his woman?

What?

Yennie's face blushed; she immediately denied it. "You misunderstood; I am not your Master's wife!"

When she said that, Yennie glared fiercely at Darryl.
