Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 94

Darryl secretly scanned his surroundings. He realized that the decor here is much more intricate than the rest. This must be their resting area.

As if right on cue, Darryl’s stomach growled. He did not eat much at the Oriental Pearl, only had a few cups of tea. He felt a little embarrassed.

Skyler was an observant man. He chuckled, "My lord, please wait a while. I'll get my men to prepare some food and wine. We’ll drink till we drop! Haha! By the way, Lord East King, after drinking we can each take turns on that Megan Castello. She's really attractive! Haha!"

"Right, right," dismissed Darryl.

As Skyler left, Darryl realized that it is a good time to walk around, to attempt to locate the exit. The guards did not stop Darryl as left the room but bowed to him. Darryl got bolder, but to not create any suspicion, he did not return to the main hall-he followed the tunnels, exploring while contemplating his next step. How is he going to rescue Megan once he finds the exit?

Darryl realized he stumbled into a restricted area. The restricted area is a huge chamber, with no men guarding the entrance. However, there is a sign saying, "Not to enter without permission". Without any thought, Darryl stepped inside.

In the middle of the chamber lies a wooden shelf. On i t are daily amenities and a few containers. Some have medicine in it. Though most of the medicine is for the treatment of external wounds, Darryl found one that says "Sedative Powder” on the label.

'Sedatives? Haha! I'll put this in their wine, and when they are unconscious I could save Megan!’ thought Darryl optimistically.

Just when he was about to leave, he noticed that one o f the tiles on the floor is different from the rest. He knocked on it-clearly hollowed out. He lifted the tile, and to his surprise, he saw a brown paper wrapping around something. He uncovered the item and was shocked to find a secret manual. On the cover of the manual wrote: Ascension of the Nine Dragons. ‘F*ck, what book is this? The title sounds impressive' thought Darryl.

Time was running out, he stashed the manual under his shirt and quickly returned to the main hall. At the same time, Skyler appeared with a box of food and a jar of wine. The red seal on the wine jar has faded-clearly of good quality as it has been kept for many years.
