Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1489

When Parker presented the pendant to Darryl, she obviously treated him as a friend.

“Alright!” Darryl admitted, then kept the pendant.

They chatted for a while before bidding each other farewell.

Once he was back at the inn, Darryl was relieved. He succeeded in qualifying for the next round at the martial art competition semi-finals and the literary competition semi-finals.

After a good night's rest and giving his mind a break, Darryl felt extremely fresh when he woke up. The next day, when he arrived at the martial art competition venue, he saw on the notice board that the participants were split into small groups.

The ten people that progressed from the semi-finals would break into five groups to battle. The winner would progress to the next round while the loser would be eliminated. You did not need to look for Internal Alchemy Elixir for this battle but actually, battle with real power.

‘Asher? He helped me a lot during the previous semi-finals. It won’t be easy to battle with him,’ Darryl thought as he walked into the venue.

Soon, after the New World Emperor and royal family members’ arrival, the competition began.

The first round was Matteo against another participant.

Without any doubt, Matteo defeated his opponent in less than five minutes after the competition began. He got a victory as well as cheers from everyone.

“Next round: Asher Finn and Luca Moonlight,” Florian announced the names for the next battle after two rounds.

As he spoke, everyone looked at Darryl. Of course, they were not looking at him with admiration but with pity and disgust.

“Luca? Isn’t he the guy that kept relying on Parker at the literary competition?”

“That’s him. This guy’s just too lucky. He qualified for both the martial arts and literary semi-finals. However, he will definitely lose in battling with real power today.”

“That’s for sure. Asher’s power is always at the top three. He’s a level three Martial Emperor. Luca is only a Martial Saint; there’s no way for him to win.”

Everyone was busy talking with each other. No one believed in Darryl, and there were even people shouting at him.
