Darryl laughed triumphantly after finishing his last sentence; his eyes showed that he was clearly derisive.
Indeed, Darryl angered Vernon deliberately.
"F*ck, you have a death wish!" Vernon was furious.
Vernon discharged his saint energy and raised his arm. Soon, there was a click, and a shining silver arrow hidden in his sleeve was revealed.
Surprisingly, he did not aim the arrow at Darryl but the Queen!
Vernon was angry, but he was still in his right mind. He realized that Darryl was deliberately wasting his time. In that case, he must kill the Queen first.
He would not need to be worried after he killed the Queen. After that, he could take his sweet time to deal with the other man.
D*mn it!
Darryl cursed under his breath, and at the same time, he shouted at the Queen. "Go, quick!"
Whoosh!
Vernon activated the mechanical switch at that instance, and the silver arrow shot out of his sleeve. It tore through the air, turning into a shot of chilly ray of light heading straight at the Queen's heart.
The arrow was so fast the Queen could not react in time.
When the arrow was about to hit the Queen, Darryl could not think much about it at that critical moment. He activated his internal energy and dashed toward the Queen, placing himself before her.
Darryl and the Queen did not know each other, so there was no need for him to take the arrow attack for her. However, Darryl remembered that only the Queen knew where the Holy Jade Scripture was in the palace. If the Queen was killed, he might never find the Holy Jade Scripture.
"You—"
The Queen was shocked when Darryl shielded her from the arrow; she trembled.
She never expected that Darryl would stand before her so bravely.
Chuck!
