Motherf*cker…
Darryl felt an uncontrollable rage at the sight before him. How dare those men gang up on a single woman?
Amidst his fury, Darryl could see that the men were all dressed in black shirts with a special symbol embroidered at the collar.
The Four Seas Alliance?
Darryl recognized the symbol immediately, and he knew that the men were under Lady Tigas of the Four Seas Alliance.
Realizing that, Darryl was instantly struck with understanding. Most of the Four Seas Alliance were less than friendly folk, and many of the world's most infamous pirates were elites of the Four Seas Alliance.
The Four Seas Alliance was known for wreaking chaos on the seas, making enemies left and right. Half a month ago, one of the alliance's parties had even stolen resources from the Red Shirt Crusade, and they even dragged Darryl into it.
An organization like that bullying the weak was nothing unusual, but since Darryl had come across it, he could not stand idle and watch.
At the thought, Darryl strode over quickly as he said in a cool tone, "Stop."
Everyone's gazes instantly fell onto Darryl as their eyes flashed with confusion and slight surprise.
At the same time, the woman tied to the tree jerked as if she had found her knight in shining armor as she called out to Darryl, "Please, sir. Please help me."
As she screamed, the lady's face was panic-stricken, save for the cunning glint in her eyes.
The woman was no ordinary villager but Rachelle in disguise.
A day ago, Adam had arranged for Rachelle to get close to Darryl before going around with ten of his sect elites to sniff out news about Darryl. Finally, they tracked him down around half a day ago.
As the holy nun of the True Flame Sect, Rachelle was not only strong and skilled, but she was also good at plotting and planning. She decided right away to have the elites dress up as men from the Four Seas Alliance while she pretended to be a helpless woman.
No man would allow himself to stand and watch such a thing unfold.
On top of that… Darryl was no average man.
Just then, seeing Darryl being lured over successfully filled Rachelle with unspeakable glee, yet she managed to put on a believably terrified expression.
It had to be said that Rachelle's performance was convincing enough for Darryl to not suspect a thing.
