Darryl scratched his head. "Uh... I already have a wife, Sir...”
There was a slight disappointment in Zoran's eyes as h e said, "Ah... That's alright. I guess your father must've forgotten about our agreement. We haven’t seen each other for over 20 years after all. It takes a lot of effort for us to communicate with one another since technology back then isn’t advanced and eventually w e drifted apart. Speaking of which, where's your father?”
Darryl scratched his head and smiled. "My parents are in the countryside."
Darryl was speechless after bringing this up. He bought the mansion right next to Mansion No. 001 for his parents to enjoy, but these two old folks complained about lots of things including the lack of the countryside's freedom, and did not even stay for a week. 1
Darryl had no choice but to let them return.
Zoran nodded his head and solemnly looked at Darryl. "Darryl, by right you should've been my son-in-law due to the agreement between your father and I, but seeing that you're already married, how about you be my godson instead?"
What?
Zoran wanted Darryl to be his godson?
The surrounding people instantly froze in shock with a n uneasy look on their faces. Everyone wanted to have Darryl as their apprentice, but Zoran unexpectedly made his own way and asked Darryl to be his godson.
Darryl scratched his head as he was uncertain how to reject him and simply said, "Sir, I think I'll need my parent's approval before accepting a godfather, right...”
"Give me your father's number. I'll call your father right now,” said Zoran.
Zoran really dialed the number which Darryl gave him.
The following scene proved that Zoran and Darryl's father was indeed good old friends. Both of them were happily chatting away for over 10 minutes before Zoran brought up the main topic. He told Daniel he wanted Darryl to be his godson. 1
Daniel without even thinking said, "Zoran, pass the phone to my son."
Darryl answered the phone and heard his father shouting from the other side, "Listen here you little brat. You’ll be Zoran’s godson from today onward, do you understand? Quick, call him Godfather." i
"Uh..." Darryl's face was filled with anguish.
What was the meaning of this? Darryl's performance during the Lion Slaughtering Conference was exceptional but what he received was another father...
"You better call him quickly!” Daniel said angrily and was about to lose his patience.
"Godfather," mumbled Darryl begrudgingly. He had no choice but to accept Zoran as his godfather. 3
