Dominic’s heart raced when he saw the Prince and took a nervous step forward. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
The Prince’s dark eyes stared at Dominic as he spoke, emphasizing each word, “Dominic. Who is Darryl really? How do you know him?”
Dominic took a deep breath and replied carefully, “I met him at San Morio City. He’s a knowledgeable and capable man.”
“What’s his relationship with the Blood Hand Organization?”
“Your Highness, Darryl has no connection to the Blood Hand Organization at all.” Dominic appeared serious as he spoke, but on the inside, he was panicking.
Darryl had mentioned to him before a little about his connection with the Blood Hand Organization, but Dominic knew he could not mention it. The Blood Hand Organization was a sensitive topic amongst the six principalities. He would also get implicated if he admitted Darryl’s connection.
“How can you be so sure?” the Prince asked coldly, squinting slightly.
“I…” Dominic blushed, not knowing how to respond.
Bang!
The Prince became furious and slammed the table abruptly when Dominic refused to reply to him. “Are you still trying to protect Darryl?! Darryl has fallen off a cliff and is dead. But, this issue isn’t over yet. I saw the sorcery Darryl used in the Royal Court earlier. How could he be powerful in magic if he has nothing to do with the Blood Hand Organization? Dominic, I’m giving you one last chance. Tell me the truth now or I’ll consider you Darryl’s accomplice and charge you with treason!”
Bang!
After thinking about it, the Prince glared at Dominic. “Are you kidding me?”
Dominic swallowed his saliva. "It is the truth! Mister Darryl told me personally. He also knows about formations; the same ones as described in an ancient book I collected.”
As he spoke, Dominic explained in detail about the incident when Darryl used the Bagua Formation.
Dominic added, "Your Highness, if you think about it carefully, if Mister Darryl is not a descendant of Master Franklin, how could he lift up the knight statue that is a few tons heavy? No one could do it in the entire Roland Continent except for Master Franklin's descendant."
Kelly had been silent for a long time until she finally said, "That’s right! The first time I saw Darryl, I felt he was different. Brother, I’m afraid you really misunderstood him.”
