Jacob’s expressions were darkened as he said that. He was feeling conflicted as well.
In truth, Jacob did not believe Darryl was such a person either. However, the situation before him proved otherwise. In addition, Darryl had the stench of alcohol on him.
However, Jacob always did things maturely as the Famed Sword Manor Manor Master and decided to wait for Darryl to wake up before questioning him.
“Uncle!”
However, Lucas suddenly got anxious right at that moment and seriously said, “No matter the truth, Darryl is indeed still drunk and lying on Parker’s bed. This could ruin Parker’s innocence and the Famed Sword Manor’s reputation. What if word got out that we pretend nothing happened. How will the others see us? How’s Parker going to get married in the future?”
Lucas then said righteously before scanning the entire crowd, “I think we should tie him up first and interrogate him when he wakes up. It won’t ruin our Famed Sword Manor reputation by doing so.”
Many nodded in agreement upon his words.
“Yes, we should at least do that for the sake of the Famed Sword Manor’s reputation.”
“Darryl is so powerful. If it really turns out to be like Master Lucas’s words of wanting to do inappropriate things to Miss Parker, yet we did nothing to stand our ground. Who would be able to handle him when he wakes up and denies it?”
“Yes, yes. Tie him up first!”
The crowd kept chiming in while Jacob frowned hard. He was hesitant.
Darryl was not any ordinary person. It might be inappropriate if they were to tie him up while he was drunk.
Everyone was right. If he truly was a lustful evil person and they did nothing at that moment, no one would be a match for him when he wakes up.
“Uncle!”
Lucas quickly said upon seeing Jacob’s hesitation, “Darryl helped the Famed Sword Manor to defeat Jackie Yale during the day. I’ll do it on your behalf if you feel it’s inconvenient for you to do so. It won’t affect the relationship between the Famed Sword Manor and him at that time if it was just a mistake!”
“Ok!”
Jacob no longer hesitated upon hearing that and nodded.
That was indeed Jacob’s concern. He was worried that it would be hard to explain if he were to tie Darryl up only for it to be just a mistake in the end.
After all, having a friend like Darryl was hard to come by. The Famed Sword Manor would lose a strong ally if they were to mess up their relationship.
Lucas kept a serious expression upon seeing Jacob’s agreement but was elated at heart.
In the next second, Lucas turned to look at Parker. “Cousin, what do you think?”
In the end, Darryl was Parker’s friend. He naturally would have to seek her opinion before tying Darryl up.
“I…”
Parker bit her lips hard with an extremely conflicted expression on her exquisite face. Her mind was in a mess upon seeing everyone looking at her. She then softly said, “I don’t know, so I’ll leave it to you.”
