Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3809

'Sh*t!' Darryl's heart jolted, and he was close to tears. 'You're going to kill me for accidentally hitting your *ss? Isn't that a little too much?'

"Behave yourself, Veron!" Agatha said sternly. Then, she looked Darryl up and down impassively. "You say it was a misunderstanding? Do explain yourself."

Darryl nodded, took a deep breath, and told her everything. In the end, he shrugged, smiled bitterly, and said, "Your Excellency, I had just paid my respect to my dead mother when Miss Veron's men tried to rob me. Everything I did was out of self-defense, but she insisted on making me apologize, and when I did not, she forced me to fight her. Then, when she lost, she said I was picking on her. As for the misunderstanding, I swear it was an accident."

Silence blanketed the hall. A myriad of expressions flashed through Elder Wind's and the other elders' faces. 'It sounds like Miss Veron was the one being unreasonable here…'

Agatha's cheek flushed pink, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

Veron began to panic. She glared at Darryl and said, "Don't act all high and mighty when you were the one who killed my men!"

'How dare he turn that around on me?' The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She was about to open her mouth again when Agatha cut in.

"Hold your tongue, Veron." Then, she stared intently at Darryl and asked, "Even if it was all a misunderstanding like you said, how do you plan to explain the fairy soul in your body? You're from the Godly Region, aren't you?"

Her tone was icy cold, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent when she asked him the question. The elders were also staring coldly at him. They were positioned in a way that left Darryl with no doubt that they would attack him the moment he said the wrong thing.

Darryl gulped. 'What's going on? Why are they looking at me like I'm their archnemesis just because I have a fairy soul? Does the sect have a grudge against the Godly Region?'

"I grew up in the Nine Mainland," Darryl said with a smile.

"And your fairy soul?" Agatha asked coldly.

Darryl scratched his head and said, "I was swept into a chaotic vortex three years ago and found myself in another Human World called the Roland Continent. Then, from there, I entered the Godly Region, where I consumed quite several spirited fruits. That was how I got a fairy soul."

On the surface, he looked calm, but he was actually a ball of nervousness. 'I hope they'll find my story legit.'

The atmosphere in the hall softened.

"I see," Agatha said, nodding.

The elders also let down their guard.

Only Veron was still looking at him disdainfully. She pursed her lips and said, "So that's how you got to be so powerful. For a moment there, I thought you got so strong through cultivation."
