“Darryl, don’t be angry with my sister. She can be too impulsive at times,” the Empress said gently.
Darryl smiled and said, “It’s alright.”
Yuri, who was standing beside him, looked nervous as she asked, “Darryl, how are you feeling?”
She sat down cross-legged to help Darryl heal his injuries. Since she was a fairy from the Illusion Virtual World, her spiritual aura was pure. Soon, Darryl’s face turned rosy again.
Darryl took a deep breath and said slowly, "Let's go back to the Dragon Gateway. Hurry!"
While he sounded calm, his eyes shone with desperation and worry. Darryl’s condition required cultivation immediately. However, he knew he just rescued Quincy and her sister from the royal palace and Jethro would not give up looking for them so easily. He would definitely send an army to the Dragon Gateway to attack Yvette, Dax and others. As such, it was imperative they returned as soon as possible.
.....
Meanwhile, Jethro was sitting in the main hall at the South Cloud World royal palace with a gloomy expression. Jethro’s original plan was to interrogate the Empress and Quincy in public that day to stabilize his position on the throne. However, he was not expecting Darryl would appear suddenly. Not only did Darryl rescue the people he wanted, but he also caused a mess in the royal palace.
At that moment, the royal guard leader, Jaxon, walked in quickly and knelt immediately.
"Your Majesty, I’ve led the army in a search around the mountains and woods near Royal City. However, there was no sign of Darryl anywhere!" he was sweating profusely as he spoke.
Jethro was furious when he heard that. "Rubbish! When Darryl escaped, he was already seriously injured. It’s impossible for him to have run far away."
Jaxon knelt, trembling, and he did not dare even take a deep breath. In the next second, Jaxon thought of something.
“Your Majesty, although Darryl has escaped, the Carter family is still at the Dragon Gateway. As long as we capture the Carter family, Darryl will definitely show up!” Jaxon said cautiously.
Jethro blinked and a smile appeared on his face. “That’s a good plan!”
