Darryl did not pay him any mind. Instead, he turned to say a few words to Zacho before leaving.
It had been two days since he left the Pure Yang Division, and it was time to return. Darryl's powers would be restored entirely in another half a month if nothing else came in the way.
Then, he could break out of the chaotic void and leave that place to return to the Nine Continent.
Haha!
Zacho did not seem to have any intention of letting Darryl leave. He let out a great laugh, patting Darryl's shoulder as he said, "It wasn't easy for you to get here to the North Sea Galaxy, Sect Master Darby. I still haven't thanked you properly for helping us take down those rebels."
As he spoke, he tugged Darryl into the hall.
The situation made it hard for Darryl to turn him down, and thus, he did not push any further.
An hour later, a sumptuous banquet had been laid out in the main hall under Zacho's orders.
Zacho and Darryl were seated at the table along with Gigi and Vincent. Since Darryl and Gigi were both from the Pure Yang Division, they were arranged to be seated together.
Vincent sat directly across from Gigi.
It displeased him greatly, but he decided against making a fuss since Zacho was there.
Over dinner, Darryl and Zacho chatted up a storm as they told each other about what had happened in the past day. Of course, Darryl had not revealed that he had killed Magnum with the intent of keeping his own identity hidden.
Quickly enough, a thought came to Darryl as he turned to address Zacho. "Oh, right! What happened to the poison in your bodies after I left that day—"
Before he could continue, Zacho smiled lightly. "We hadn't absorbed much of the poison, and it's almost all gone by now, but… Unfortunately, my wife's condition is a little worse."
Zacho sighed and continued, "Magnum still hasn't been caught. Thus, there won't be a cure for my wife."
Darryl smiled lightly as he took out a medicine jar holding the antidote and passed it to Zacho. "Don't worry about that, Sect Master. Here's the antidote. Give it to your wife later."
Indeed, it was the antidote that Darryl had gotten off Magnum after he had killed him.
Antidote?
At the words, everyone, including Zacho, Gigi, and Vincent, stopped short as they stared intently at Darryl.
