The Sword Tower had incredibly tight security and rules; a romance between man and woman was strictly prohibited. Once found out, there would be punishment. If Khloris were dating Darryl, they would surely be in serious trouble if they were exposed.
Diego had been losing to Darryl repeatedly; his grudge against Darryl was immense. Since he finally got a chance to pay back, he would never let it go.
"Okay!"
Sienna nodded aggressively. Her pretty face was filled with admiration. "As expected of my senior brother, coming up with a plan so quickly. Don't worry. I'll make sure to find out what's going on."
Sienna planted a kiss on Diego's cheek before she left.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Maybe it was because he was leaving soon, so Darryl was in a pretty easy mood. After he entered the Sword Tower, he quickly found Khloris' room.
She was still awake; it seemed like he had arrived at a good time.
Darryl stood outside the room and smiled when he noticed light inside the room.
"Master?"
Darryl called out to her, but there was no response.
After ten seconds or so, he pushed the door open and noticed that the door was not locked.
As expected of the Deputy Sect Master, so confident that she would leave the door unlocked even as she slumbered.
Darryl thought as he walked into the room.
Darryl was stunned when he saw the room before him.
The room's decoration was elegant, and the room was filled with an alluring scent. The lights by the bed were switched on, but no one was around.
'She's not here?' Darryl frowned.
That could not be the case. Where else would Khloris be at that hour?
"Master?" Darryl took a deep breath and called out once again.
Even though Khloris and he had secretly agreed for him to be her disciple, it was still a pretense. He still had to be careful in the Sword Sect's territory and be respectful toward the Deputy's position.
If it were not for Khloris' help, Darryl would not have been able to stay with the Sword Sect safely.
