“Master Darby, you’re amazing! You actually managed to chase Jackie away.”
“Yes! No wonder you’re such an influential figure!”
These guests paid obeisance to Darryl, trying to please him. Darryl was too lazy to bother with these sycophants. He smiled and brushed them off with a few sentences.
Jacob Yohan beside him was also indifferent to the guests.
Previously, they tried their best to please Jacob when the guests saw that Famed Sword Manor had Violet Category weapons. However, they avoided him like the plague when the Illusion Sound Sect appeared.
Jacob felt that he would even be better off without those friends who only wanted to take advantage of him.
The guests were embarrassed to stay on further upon feeling Jacob’s indifference and Darryl’s disinterest and soon left.
The Famed Sword Manor has finished clearing up the battlefield at that moment. Parker did not forget Darryl’s favor and immediately sent men to gather news on Debra.
At the same time, Parker sincerely invited Darryl to stay at the Famed Sword Manor since it would take some time before they could locate Debra after all. Darryl nodded and agreed.
It was soon nightfall.
At that moment, a few kilometers in the hillside woods outside the Famed Sword Manor.
Lucas stood there with a worried look. His calm face could not hide the panic in his heart.
Lucas received a secret order from Jackie to wait for him there just moments ago.
Swoosh. Swoosh.
Not long after, light footsteps could be heard coming through and Lucas noticed Jackie slowly walking over. Jackie was dressed in white and still looked handsome with only a few hints of exhaustion and paleness to his face.
The fight with Darryl during the day had injured Jackie quite badly. He needed at least half a month to recuperate.
“Master!”
Lucas shuddered and immediately knelt to the ground upon seeing Jackie. “Your humble servant, Lucas, greets Master.”
“Lucas, do you know what you’ve done wrong?” Jackie looked at him coldly. His tone was stern. “Why did you not tell me that the Elysium Gate Sect Master, Darryl Darby would be there at the Sword Conference during the daytime?”
Jackie’s eyes turned icy-cold when he said that. He could not control the rage in his heart at the thought of being terribly defeated by Darryl.
