Their sadness was mixed with hatred as they turned to look at Darryl. They were doing fine in the battle before he came along. The Red Sparrow Queen was dead because of him, and they had no choice but to surrender to the White Tiger King. There was no way he could wash his hands of that. However, they could not do anything to him with the White Tiger King present.
The White Tiger King was in good spirits. He waved his hand and said, "From now on onward, we're all family! Come, let's toast to that!" For thousands of years, the White Tiger King had always viewed the Red Sparrow Queen as a thorn on his side, and he was pleased that the thorn had finally been removed.
Everyone, including Darryl, raised their glasses and drank from them. Even though he was smiling, he found the whole thing insufferable.
Suddenly, the slender Peacock Lilibet stood up and said softly, "Your Excellency the White Tiger King, shall we have a little entertainment to spice things up a little?"
All eyes turned to gaze at her. Tiger Ben was staring at her so hard that his pupils had become a narrow line. After all, Peacock Lilibet was beautiful and hot. Even Darryl could not help but admire her beauty. 'Peacock Lilibet's human form is so gorgeous! Her vibe is comparable to the late Red Sparrow Queen's.'
The White Tiger King laughed, nodded, and said, "I'm all for it! What do you have in mind?"
Peacock Lilibet smiled faintly and glanced at Darryl. "I heard that His Excellency Darryl is the Green Dragon clan's Dragon Lord and that he's extremely knowledgeable in a lot of areas." A sly look flashed across her eyes. "Why don't we ask him to demonstrate his power to us so that we can learn a thing or two!"
She stared cooly at him. She was doing that so that he would humiliate himself. The Red Sparrow Queen had waged war with the Beast Alliance because Tiger Ben ambushed Peacock Lilibet. After all, she was the Queen's most trusted subordinate and saw each other as sisters, so it was natural for her to want to seek revenge for the Queen's death. However, she could not be too overt in her intention since Darryl was the White Tiger King's honorable guest.
The White Tiger King smiled and nodded. "What a great idea!" Then he looked askance at Darryl and asked, "What do you say, Your Excellency?"
Darryl took a deep breath and smiled. "Since we're all happy, why not? But first, I would like to ask the beautiful Miss Peacock how she would like me to demonstrate my power?" He looked at her as he said the last sentence.
Peacock Lilibet smiled and said, "I'm sure that you would be able to come up with something that would shock everyone here."
Darryl scratched his head in embarrassment.
