Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4335

That same day, the Five Poison Sect moved around the Great East simultaneously. They tricked Celine, seized Ricky by force, and brought many other skilled doctors to the Maple Division.

……

Meanwhile, over at the other end...

Around a hundred kilometers northwest of the Great East was a place with thick mountains and forests.

Among the greenery, a figure could be seen rushing forward at top speed, their face flushed from the exertion of energy as sweat trickled from their face. It was Darryl.

Darryl had spent a good few hours flying upon escaping from the Sword Sect and was tired out of his mind. Yet he did not stop as he knew that Jedidiah would never forgive him for killing so many Sword Sect members.

Darryl would never have feared if that had happened in the past. Yet he had no choice then. The Red Lotus Fayette's energy had not been fully incorporated yet, and he had also used up quite a bit of power in the battle. If he had continued to fight with the Sword Sect, it would be a one-way ticket to hell.

Whew!

After he had run for an undetermined amount of time, Darryl exhaled in relief. He spotted a stream in front of him, and his spirits immediately perked.

Darryl made his way to the stream in quick strides and pondered. He washed his face, then took a few huge gulps of the water. After that, he sat by the river, resting.

As he was resting, Darryl was overwhelmed with emotion. His mind went to Khloris and Olive involuntarily.

'Now that I'm gone, would the Sword Sect attack Khloris?'

'She's the Deputy Sect Master, but they saw me breaking into her room late at night. It must be a tough situation to explain to anyone.'

And then there was also Olive. Would she be dragged into it as well?

Darryl laid the situation out in his head. He and Khloris were hardly friends. If she wanted to protect herself, all she had to do was reveal his identity.

Darryl was no longer worried.

Then, he heard footsteps from behind him. The steps were dense and quick—they must be highly skilled warriors!

Darryl scrambled to turn around to see who it was.

Crap!

Darryl nearly jumped up when he saw who it was. At the same time, he could not help his sharp air intake. He was speechless.

'F*ck, those Sword Sect people sure moved fast. They're really out to get me, aren't they?'

He could see a few people approaching from behind. They had impossibly strong auras and wielded longswords with ferocity. They were the Sword Sect's six elders.
