Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 5473

"Oh. Alright."

Evan returned to his senses as he nodded, calling upon everyone else to leave the room immediately. His expression soured the second he was outside the hall.

'F*ck, that *sshole thought they were fools, didn't he? Just you wait, Darryl Darby.'

Upon walking for about a hundred meters, Evan slowed his footsteps.

Just then, Martin could not help but pipe up, "Sect Master! Are we really going to just leave like this? Darryl Darby refuses to come with us, so something's got to be up."

Evan replied impatiently, "Of course I know something's up. It would've been inappropriate for me to cause a scene considering the situation. Darryl doesn't have much powers, but Rachelle's internal energy is quite something."

Indeed, the only reason Evan had kept his cool earlier was because of Rachelle's presence.

Martin fell silent as he frowned. "What do we do now?"

Whew…

Evan took a deep breath, casting a glance around him before saying slowly, "How about this? I'll leave with everyone else for now. You stay here, and tail Darryl and Rachelle in secret to find out what they're hiding. Remember, don't strike unless you absolutely have to."

Truthfully, Evan did not want to leave just like that. Unfortunately, everyone was still injured and could not fight at all. The only thing they could do was to leave Martin behind to snoop around for intel.

Martin did not hesitate at all, nodding immediately. "Alright. Don't worry, Sect Master. I'll be sure to be careful." As he spoke, he turned and slinked off in the direction of the main hall.

Once nearby, Martin did not think twice before hiding behind a tree as he spotted Darryl and Rachelle still at the door.

…

Just then, over at the main hall entrance.

Seeing Evan and his men leave, Rachelle bit her lip and said in a confused tone, "Darryl Darby! Why didn't we just leave with them? We'd be able to take on Prince Auten with them if we were to run into him."

Ho ho…

Darryl smiled lightly, speaking slowly as he replied Rachelle.

Rachelle stopped short before hurrying forward. She could not help but ask, 'What are you trying to do, Darryl Darby?"

She was injured, and he did not have any powers. Were they doomed if they stayed there?

Darryl smiled, still keeping the answer to himself. "You'll find out soon."

Seeing him like that, Rachelle did not bother asking more.

What they did not realize was a pair of eyes spying on them from a little under a hundred meters away behind a tree.

It was none other than Martin.

Seeing that the paid had headed off to one of the side halls, Martin's gaze flashed as the corners of his mouth ticked up in a cruel smirk.

'Of course Darryl had something up his sleeve, distracting us on purpose the way he did. Thank goodness the Sect Master had the wisdom to keep me behind to spy on them, or they'd be played well and truly.'

At the thought, Martin cast a glance around him. Upon making sure that there was no one else, he slipped forward.
