Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 172

"Dad! Dad!" Darryl yelled with his eyes red as he cut the rope loose with his sword and held his father in his arms.

Meanwhile, Daniel’s body was completely ruined. His body emanated a burnt smell as his skin and clothes swirled into a mixture of blood and flesh.

"Son...son. Tell me, did you do it? Did you do such a thing?" Daniel mumbled with his pale white lips as intense pain overwhelmed his body, and he trembled.

"I didn't. I didn't!" Darryl cried, his face covered in uncontrollable tears.

"That's..good..." Daniel said with all his remaining strength.

With a faint smile, his eyes shut. They didn’t know if h e was dead or alive.

"Dad! Dad, don't scare me. Please, don't scare me!" Darryl screamed till his voice was hoarse. He shook Daniel vigorously, but there was no response.

"Stop yelling. It doesn't matter if your dad is dead; he deserves it!" Yumi walked in her heels, pointing her finger at Daryl. "You grew up in the Darby mansion since you were young. Now you’re back here with a bunch of men to cause trouble. Aren’t you scared of being struck by lightning? 1

Bam

Instantly, Darryl stood up slowly with his eyes as red a s blood. He walked toward Yumi one step at a time.

"Wha-what're you doing!” Yumi trembled at the sight o f his gaze.

She would never forget his gaze for the rest of her life. It was terrifying.

Smack!

Darryl swung his hand and slapped Yumi hard and violently across the face. He used all his strength in his slap. In the next instant, Yumi flew across the air for at least ten meters before landing on the floor again.

"Ahh!" she spat out blood.

Without letting her stand up, Darryl slapped her again, and again, and again!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

The clapping sound was crisp and ringing. It terrified everyone in the hall. Old Master Darby dropped his walking stick, his chest rising and falling vigorously, a s he staggered and struggled to stand up. It was as if his throat was blocked, and he could not speak a word.
