Ileana bit her lips as if there was something she was hesitating to say and looked at Darryl again. “Darryl, I told you how to escape, so can you bring me along with you?”
She had a look of anticipation when she said that and she no longer looked arrogant.
After being trapped there for 500 years, Ileana always dreamed that she would be able to leave. She would not miss this opportunity.
‘Sh*t, is she begging me?’ Darryl was stunned.
“You want me to bring you along? Let me think carefully. You tried to kill me and now you want me to help you,” he said, smiling.
Darryl pretended to be deep in thought. ‘Ileana is so arrogant. I almost died earlier, but now she wants me to help her escape. How is that possible?’
Ileana was worried instantly when she heard that, so she begged Darryl, “Darryl, I was wrong. Please help me! Please?”
She never imagined she would set aside her pride to beg another man.
Darryl scratched his head when he saw Ileana’s desperate face and said, “I’ll take you but only on one condition!”
Then, he looked at her with a smile.
Ileana’s body trembled as she asked softly, “What’s the condition?”
At that moment, Ileana was furious and shy. ‘Darryl is so despicable. I put aside my dignity and pride, yet he is demanding and setting conditions!’
However, she had no choice. He had the Chaotic Yang Bead and he was the only one that could help her escape this place.
Darryl had a thought then smiled. “It’s simple; you must follow my orders, no-questions-asked once I help you escape from here.”
…
Meanwhile, after the eight Oracles helped Quincy defeat the Mirror Devils, they found Sara, Andy and the others as they followed the leads.
Everyone was really emotional once they reunited. At that same time, they noticed that Darryl still had not returned from chasing after a Mirror Devil.
“Let’s go look for him!” Yennie said as she flew into the air and headed far away.
Xenia and the other Oracles activated their bodies too to search other places. Once the Oracles left, Quincy and everyone else looked at each other, feeling afraid and unsettled.
This was a dangerous place and they still had not found a way to escape. Now, Darryl was missing too.
