Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4828

At the order, the rest of the men surged forwards, tying Darryl up in no time.

"Hey, hey. Watch it…"

Darryl wanted nothing more than to fight back then. Unfortunately, his magical skills were not accessible at the moment, and all he had was the brute force of his unfortunate mortal body.

Unable to hold off so many people, all he could do was struggle while yelling, "You've really got the wrong guy!"

Slap!

Just as his words rang through the air, the leader landed another slap onto Darryl's head as he roared, "Shut up, you!"

As he spoke, he waved a hand, signaling for everyone to head back to the town in the distance with Darryl in tow.

Motherf*cker!

Darryl was truly speechless.

Just his luck, right? First, his powers were locked up, and then he was mistaken for the wrong person. Upon thinking it through, could he… Could he look like the Derrick they spoke about?

Darryl did not speak on the way back, but he figured out the gist of what was going on through eavesdropping on what the people around him were saying.

They were the servants of the Stanford family, and the leader of the group was Gerald Sonn. He was the head butler of the Stanfords.

The town in the distance was called Hidden Dragon Town, and the Stanfords were one of the most prevalent families in the town. The daughter of Old Master Stanford was a beautiful lady named Selina, with looks that would make anyone swoon, yet she had been diagnosed with a terrible disease half a year ago.

Old Master Stanford had combed the ends of the earth looking for a doctor, but none of them had been able to find a cure. In the end, a wandering priest tended to her, and he told Old Master Stanford that he would have to marry her to a poor man of a lower class to have the slightest chance at extending her lifespan a few more years.

With no other option, Old Master Stanford could only listen to the priest's words and put up a notice seeking such a son-in-law. Unfortunately, the news of Selina's illness had spread across the town by then, and no one wanted to marry a dying woman.

In the end, Old Master Stanford had no choice but to seek out Derrick Darby.

Derrick was an orphan, and he had never been to school. He spent his days lazing around doing nothing before eventually getting addicted to gambling. He was hardly seen outside of a betting room, and he ended up getting into a huge debt. It was Old Master Stanford paying off that debt for him that made him marry into the Stanfords.
