As the final word rang through the air, Herod's gaze glinted coldly.
Indeed, he planned to call upon a massacre tonight. Besides, the Stanfords did not care about their good-for-nothing son-in-law. He would be the first to die.
Darryl's clothes were torn open to reveal his chest. One of the Snow Wolf Mountain members drew his long sword, walking forward briskly.
'F*ck me!'
At the sight, Darryl got the fright of his life. His forehead beaded with sweat as he called out, "Please hold on, everyone. You've got the wrong man. I'm not the Stanfords' son-in-law."
As his words rang through the air, everyone, including Old Master Stanford and the surrounding Stanford members, began yelling as they could hardly contain their fury.
'Derrick' was truly something else, still spouting such nonsense at this point.
What was even more infuriating was that Selina had already been captured, and as her fiance, he did not only not bother thinking of a way to save her. Instead, he tried his best to point out that they had nothing to do with each other. That behavior made him no less than an animal!
Amidst their fury, the butler Gerald could not help but yell at Darryl, "You bastard! The Old Master has always been good to you, and he even paid off your debts on top of making you his son-in-law. This is how you repay him? You're an animal."
Even Selina's features were creased with disdain as she stood across him.
What a cowardly gambling addict of a man. Marrying him would imply nothing but a lifetime of unhappiness.
Haha…
In contrast, Herod exchanged a glance with his subordinates, smiles appearing on their faces.
Herod was particularly smug. He scoffed at Darryl, "What did you say, young man? You aren't the son-in-law of the Standford family?"
"Indeed!" Darryl nodded seriously.
Herod's smirk grew. "I'm certain you only said that to save your life, man. There's no need to worry. Since you've been living in this household all this time, you must be pretty familiar with the place. Am I right?"
Herod was positive that he was Derrick, which made Darryl feel nothing but helpless and at a loss on how to further explain himself. All he could do was smile bitterly.
