Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3952

"Hold on!"

Elder Wind strode toward them, halting Chester and the rest's execution at the most critical moment.

The Hidden Hero Sect members held themselves back upon hearing Elder Wind. He was the leader of the Four Elders, and so he was highly respected by the Hidden Hero Sect.

Veron frowned. "What is it, Elder Wind?"

Elder Wind took a deep, heavy breath and looked at Chester and the rest. "Sect Master, avenging your loved one is indeed necessary, but the person who killed the late Sect Master was Darryl Darby. For every grievance, someone is responsible; for every debt, there is a debtor. Please reconsider before you implicate the innocents in this."

Elder Wind paused and took a moment to contemplate before he spoke. "Darryl Darby has always been mysterious about his whereabouts. The best option is to lure him out with the Carter family. Killing them means killing your only bait," he said in utmost seriousness.

Elder Wind had fought hand in hand with Darryl just ten days ago, and he understood his power and ability.

If Chester and the rest were executed, Darryl would definitely go berserk, and no one in the Hidden Hero Sect would be able to go near him then. It was better to keep Chester and the rest as hostages. Darryl would definitely be wary, but taking him down would be possible.

Veron's beautiful face darkened as she thought about it.

A few moments later, she nodded in agreement. "Fine, I'll spare them for now. Keep them in the cave behind the mountain."

Veron really wanted to execute Chester and the rest, but Elder Wind made a good point. Darryl's movement had always been unpredictable—killing them would mean losing Darryl.

'The cave behind the mountain?'

Elder Wind paused for a moment before smiling upon hearing her idea. "That's a good idea."

The Hidden Hero Sect had a mountain behind their altar, a forbidden area. A cave was situated there, and a scaled dragon lived inside the save. The scaled dragon was nearing its cultivation's critical moment where it needed to devour the power of human cultivators.

Imprisoning Chester and the rest in the cave would guarantee the loss of their powers, engulfed by the scaled dragon. That would render them vulnerable and powerless.

The Hidden Hero Sect could vent their anger while not worrying about killing Chester and the rest. They still had to use the hostages as bait to lure Darryl out. It was truly killing two birds with one stone!

Elder Wind approved of the idea. He ordered the Hidden Hero Sect members to escort Chester and the rest to the cave.

Chester, Yvette, and Zoey did not feel any relief just because they had escaped death. They had many questions and doubts about the situation.

'Darryl killed the Hidden Hero Sect's previous Sect Master, Agatha Lange?'
