Soon, several assassins hid around the main routes on the outskirts of Cloudbrook City, thanks to Zhang Jue's setup.
…
Meanwhile, at the Moore family.
Clara signed a contract with the Moore family at Darryl's request.
At that moment, every member of the Moore family in the main hall looked at Darryl in a different light. They were extremely shocked.
He was only a bodyguard, yet he had such vast connections. It was incredible to be able to invite the head of the Weiss Cloud Group personally. No one would believe it if they did not see it for themselves.
Darryl did not bother to talk with them. He motioned for Clara and Jewel to leave with him.
Before he left, Darryl turned around to look at John and the others. "Your family should not be in any crisis anymore. You had better stay true to your words. No one can bother Jewel any longer."
Then, Darryl led Jewel and Clara away.
"Mister Darren."
When they were outside, Clara said excitedly, "I'm pleased I got to see you again. Let's get together for a meal."
Darryl smiled and politely declined. "There's no need to be so polite. I still need to take care of a few things."
Then, Darryl seemed to have thought of something. He warned gravely, "Miss Clara, Cloudbrook City has been rather unsafe recently. I feel you should not leave here first. Stay for another two days or so before you leave."
Darryl did not know why, but he felt as if something was about to happen. Also, it was quite improper of him to let Clara go all the way there. After all, he had previously received her father's Heaven's Repairing Stones. It was no small matter.
After Jeffrey's death, Clara would definitely be the next target.
"Very well!" Clara said with a grim expression. She nodded and said, "I'll remember your warning."
Clara bid Darryl farewell and found a hotel in the city center to stay in for the time being.
"Mister!"
They had just left when Jewel asked, "Should we continue investigating Endless Sky?"
Darryl nodded. Then, he said thoughtfully, "Don't call me Mister from now on. My name is Darren, and I'm your brother." Since he had already hidden his identity, he could not let it be easily exposed.
