“Very well!”
Tina bit her lips; her face was full of contempt and condescension. “If you can get blood from the horns of the Gourami Dragonfish King, I will take back my words and apologize to you! But if you lied to me, the Ryukin Gold Altar will kill you!”
When she said that, she could not help but look at Alan. He still laid there, numbed by the venom, and he was barely breathing. He did not even have the energy to speak.
If it were under normal circumstances, she would not even bother with Darryl.
However, she had no choice. Her master’s life hung by a thread. As long as there was hope, she would try it.
“Apologize?” Darryl chuckled lightly. He shook his head. “I don’t need you to apologize. I just want to bet with the Ryukin Gold Altar.”
A bet?
Tina furrowed her brows. She looked at her brothers and asked, “What do you want to bet on?”
Darryl smiled and looked at her. He said, “If I manage to get the blood and save your master, then all of the Ryukin Gold Altar disciples would have to call me Dad respectfully whenever they see me. If I can’t save him, I’ll let you guys do what you want with me.”
If it had been Darryl in the past, he would not have saved Alan. However, ever since he became the Elysium Gate’s Sect Master, he was a changed man. Even though Alan was a horrible person, they had belonged to the same sect.
He did not do it in vain. Since Alan and his disciples were so arrogant, Darryl wanted to poke fun at their self-esteem.
“You’re seeking death!”
Tina’s expression changed, so she reprimanded him. The other Ryukin Gold Altar disciples who stood behind her were also livid.
That man was too arrogant! He was only a newcomer, yet he wanted everyone from the Ryukin Gold Altar to call him Dad?
Alan, who was on the ground, was furious as well; he was about to explode. He glared at Darryl and yelled, “How rude! B*stard!”
Darryl did not even bother to speak with him. He smiled ambiguously at Tina. “If you’re not willing to do that, then I won’t force you guys.”
Then, he pretended to stretch lazily. He shook his head and said, “I’ve caught so many Gourami Dragonfishes just now. I’m exhausted. Since no one wants my help, I’ll just head back to the ship and rest.”
Then, he turned and was about to leave.
