However, Dominic seemed to ignore Ivy's anger.
In the next second, Dominic regained his thoughts and looked Darryl up and down. "What's your name?"
"I..." Darryl hesitated. "My name is Darry Darbyl!"
He continued to speak, sounding frustrated, “You’re the Mayor of San Morio City, right? Honestly, I’m really not a slave; I was arrested by mistake.”
Dominic did not seem to care about that, but he stared closely at Darryl. “You arranged these potted plants?”
His gaze held indescribable complexity and urgency.
‘What? The Mayor knows about formations?’ Darryl frowned discreetly.
“Yes, I did.” Darryl nodded, appearing calm, but actually was panicking inside.
If Dominic was able to solve the formation, Darryl would no longer have the advantage. His internal energy still had not fully recovered and he would not be able to fight against so many soldiers.
Just when Darryl was feeling worried, he saw Dominic take a deep breath. Then, he waved his hand. "Everyone, retreat!"
All the soldiers were confused, but they dared not disobey Dominic when they saw the serious look on his face. They retreated immediately.
“Father, you–” Ivy was shocked, but before she could finish speaking, her father waved his hand to interrupt her.
“Ivy, wait here for now,” he said before walking down the steps slowly towards Darryl.
At that time, Darryl and Dominic were the only ones in the study room. Dominic had completely let go of his mayor status as he stared at Darryl with eyes full of excitement.
When he saw Dominic's facial expression, Darryl could not help but frown and said, "Who is Master Franklin?"
Dominic became emotional when he spoke about Master Franklin. "Master Franklin was the most legendary, mysterious, and greatest person in the entire Roland Continent for the past 2000 years. His knowledge was as vast as the sea and his power was beyond the spiritual beasts.
"However, he had left behind too few things. A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to get a book about Master Franklin. There is a picture on it that has almost the same shape as the one you just arranged with the potted plants."
As he spoke, Dominic carefully took out a delicate wooden box from the very end of the bookshelf. He also took out an ancient book.
Darryl took the ancient book and was stunned the moment he glanced at it.
