Instantly, everyone turned to Darryl and was secretly in shock.
'This is the man who knocked Diego out?'
'But… As Olive said, he has no internal energy. How did he manage to knock Diego out?'
It was baffling.
While everyone looked at Darryl, he also took a slow glance at Jedidiah, Khloris, and the others. He could tell from Jedidiah's aura that he was the Sect Master of the Sword Sect. He could not help but take a second look at Khloris and exclaimed to himself, 'So beautiful… What an arrogant woman. Her aura and power are just as strong as the Sect Master. Looks like she's Olive's Master, Khloris.'
During their journey, Olive had told Darryl a lot about the Sword Sect, so he had some knowledge about the people there.
At the moment, the disciple exited the main hall and pointed at Darryl as he shouted, "Sect Master, he's the freak who injured Diego."
At that moment, Jedidiah's eyes flickered with rage as he glared at Darryl. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. However, Olive noticed something was wrong and ran over to stand in front of Darryl.
"Sect Master, please don't hurt Dart. He can't hurt Diego; there must be a misunderstanding," she begged.
'Though I've only known Dart for a short time, he's been kind to me throughout this whole journey. Why would he attack Diego out of the blue? He doesn't even have any internal energy,' she thought.
Jedidiah's face changed when he saw Olive defending Darryl. However, he did not lash out because of his status.
Then, he inhaled deeply and calmed down.
Amidst the awkwardness, Jedidiah and the others stared at Darryl with doubt. 'If he did knock Diego out, then how did he do it? This man has no internal energy.'
A few seconds later, Jedidiah gathered his thoughts and said coldly to Darryl, "Kid, let's not beat around the bush. How did you injure Diego? And, what's your agenda here in the Sword Sect?"
He thought that Darryl was sent by an enemy.
Darryl grinned and used sign language, hinting at Olive to bring some paper and a quill. Without hesitation, she brought the items to him.
At that moment, Darryl took the quill and quickly wrote, Your disciples humiliated me and forced me to get on my knees. I didn't obey his orders and so immediately, he attacked me. It could be because his blood was rushing and his internal energy haunted him, causing him to be thrown off. I'm just a nobody from the Gaia Continent. I was robbed by the bandits, severely injured, and fainted in the woods. Fortunately, I ran into Olive and was brought here.'
He thought for a second and added another sentence which read, I have no bad blood with the Sword Sect. It was Olive who brought me here and I don't have any secrets.
