Alison's expression changed drastically. She was absolutely furious. She was also a little shocked at how much pain Darryl could handle. Instantly, the atmosphere in the main hall became oppressive.
When Madame Pandora sensed that things were about to go even more south, she quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground. "Sect Master! I beg you! Please let him go!" She could not bear to see Darryl subjected to any more pain.
"You traitor! Lock him up with Darren!" Alison ordered angrily. She had been happy when Madame Pandora stole the Holy Jade Scripture for her, but that feeling had turned into anger when she saw Madame Pandora begging for Darryl's life.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Rosalind said. Then, she ordered the guards to drag Darryl and Madame Pandora away.
Ten minutes later, both of them were locked up. Darryl was still bound with the thorns stuck on his skin. Madame Pandora was also tied up, and tears were trailing down her exquisite face. She kept on apologizing to the man. "Darren, I'm so sorry. So, so sorry…"
Sensing her sincerity, Darryl took a deep breath and said, "Why did you lie to me about stealing the Holy Jade Scripture? You were never chased after any of the influential families, right? Why did you betray the Queen?"
Madame Pandora bit her lips at the barrage of questions. It was obvious that she was struggling with her answer.
Madame Pandora instantly felt happier. However, it was not long-lasting. "What should we do now? Alison will not let us go until you translate the Holy Jade Scripture for her."
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, Darryl said, "Remember the acupoint technique I've taught you? Do you still know how to do it? Quick, press my acupoint now!"
The thorn on his body made it impossible for him to activate his internal energy. He would not be able to feel the pain if his acupoints were sealed, allowing him to activate his internal energy and push the thorns out with it.
