Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4834

"F*cking hell!"

Half an hour passed quickly enough, and Herod grew impatient, seeing that Darryl had still yet to lead them to the room the treasure was in.

Herod yelled, "Do you actually know where the treasure is, man? Are you trying to trick me?"

Uhh…

Darryl scratched his head, putting on an expression of great fear.

"No, of course not. It's dark now, and the Stanford household is huge. I've barely been here for three days, so I don't really know what the place looks like properly.

"Don't worry! Old Master Stanford showed me the treasure the other day, and I know which room he's hidden it in. I'm sure I'll be able to find it."

Herod's expression cooled slightly upon hearing Darryl's explanation. However, he still barked impatiently, "Well, hurry up! Don't waste my time."

"Yes, yes!"

Darryl scrambled to answer, bringing them around the house once again.

Quickly enough, they reached the Stanford altar. Darryl stopped in his tracks and said, "This is it."

As he spoke, Darryl's face flashed with an unreadable expression.

Darryl had familiarized himself with the place decently enough when he brought Herod and his men around. He knew that only the altar had a more complicated layout than the rest of the household.

All he had to do was put in a bit of elbow grease, and he would be able to trap Herod and his men.

'The altar?'

Herod pondered to himself as his gaze flashed excitedly. "The Old Man Stanford's quite the trickster! I can't believe he'd keep the treasure here, of all places."

As he spoke, Herod ordered his men impatiently. "Search the room, all of you!"

The men behind him charged into the altar to comb the place.

Herod cast a glance at Darryl as he spoke in a firm tone. "You get in there and look too. You'll surely be getting something from this if you find it."

As he spoke, he gave Darryl a little shove as they made their way to the altar.

Whew!
