"Don't worry!" Darryl was calm. He reassured Lolita with a smile. "I have a way to do that." After crushing the pirates' lair on the Devil island, Darryl had sealed their largest treasure depository. The 10,000 gold coins he needed were just a drop in the bucket when Darryl had access to a treasure depository.
Lolita stopped talking after she saw Darryl's solemn face.
…
At that moment, in the Damien family's garden in Pearl City.
Damien was dressed in loose casual clothes as he was sitting by the pond, fishing leisurely!
He felt relaxed after he handed all their family businesses over to Lolita. It was time for him to enjoy some leisure time.
"Master Damien?"
Just as Damien was enjoying his time comfortably, a cold voice came from behind him.
Damien was stunned and immediately turned around. Then, he saw a man in a black robe standing quietly behind him. The man was filled with a cold and unwelcoming breath of aura, like a dormant venomous viper. It was terrifying.
The black-robed man was the killer hired by Grady, Lancelot from All Beings Sect.
"You—"
Finally, Damien reacted and studied the black robe man carefully. "Who are you?"
Lancelot replied impassively, "Master Damien, have you heard of the All Beings Sect?"
The All Beings Sect?
Damien's heart trembled when he heard the name. He panicked. The All Beings Sect was a newly found assassin group. How could Damien not know about them?
In the next second, Damien said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Again, Lancelot replied indifferently, "Of course, it's because someone paid the All Beings Sect to deal with you, but before I do anything, I hope you can cooperate and tell me about Darryl's background!"
After being entrusted by Grady, Lancelot began investigating Darryl but found nothing. It seemed like Darryl had appeared mysteriously out of nowhere in the world.
However, Darryl was the Damien family's live-in son-in-law. Lancelot believed that Damien must have known his origin.
'What was in the powder?'
Damien was very frightened. At the same time, he was losing his consciousness.
Lancelot stood there quietly, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion on his face as he silently chanted a spell in his mouth.
Damien was confused. His eyes were hollow, and he looked dull and unenergetic. Damien stepped forward and slowly walked toward the pond after hearing the spell.
After a few seconds, Damien was utterly submerged in the pool water.
The powder Lancelot used was a special psychedelic drug. After someone inhaled it, they would lose consciousness, and then their body would go out of control.
"Interesting!"
Lancelot kept a straight face and mumbled to himself, "Damien would rather die than tell me about Darryl's background. It seems like Darryl is extraordinary, indeed. Nonetheless, once he became our target, he would never survive it."
Then, Lancelot looked at the pond and was sure that Damien had drowned. Then, he quickly turned around and left.
