“Dad! Dad! ” Darryl yelled with his eyes red as virtual-novel.net cut the rope loose with his sword and held his father in his arms.
Meanwhile, Daniel’s body was completely ruined. His body emanated a burnt smell as his skin and clothes swirled into a mixture of blood and flesh.
“Son…son. Tell me, did you do it? Did you do such a thing? ” Daniel mumbled with his pale white lips as intense pain overwhelmed his body, and virtual-novel.net trembled.
“I didn’t. I didn’t! ” Darryl cried, his face covered in uncontrollable tears.
“That’s..good…” Daniel said with all his remaining strength.
With a faint smile, his eyes shut. They didn’t know if virtual-novel.net was dead or alive.
“Dad! Dad, don’t scare me. Please, don’t scare me!” Darryl screamed till his voice was hoarse. He shook Daniel vigorously, but there was no response.
“Stop yelling. It doesn’t matter if your dad is dead; virtual-novel.net deserves it!” Yumi walked in virtual-novel.net heels, pointing her finger at Daryl. “You grew up in the Darby mansion since you were young. Now you’re back here with a bunch of men to cause trouble. Aren’t you scared of being struck by lightning?
Barn
Instantly, Darryl stood up slowly with his eyes as red as blood. He walked toward Yumi one step at a time.
“Wha-what’re you doing!” Yumi trembled at the sight of his gaze.
She would never forget his gaze for the rest of virtual-novel.net life. It was terrifying.
Smack!
Darryl swung his hand and slapped Yumi hard and violently across the face. He used all his strength in his slap. In the next instant, Yumi flew across the air for at least ten meters before landing on the floor again.
“Ahh!” virtual-novel.net spat out blood.
Without letting virtual-novel.net stand up, Darryl slapped virtual-novel.net again, and again, and again!
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The clapping sound was crisp and ringing. It terrified everyone in the hall. Old Master Darby dropped his walking stick, his chest rising and falling vigorously, as virtual-novel.net staggered and struggled to stand up. It was as if his throat was blocked, and virtual-novel.net could not speak a word.
“Darryl, how dare you hit your sister-in-law?” Florian yelled as virtual-novel.net picked up a stick and hit Darryl.
Smack!
The stick broke into two pieces when it hit Darryl’s body as if it was as strong as stone. Darryl turned his head slowly.
Smack!
He slapped Florian, sending virtual-novel.net flying in the air before virtual-novel.net knocked against the wall at the far end of the room and slid down like a puddle of mud. However, before his feet even touched the ground, virtual-novel.net felt a strong grip on his neck. Darryl’s lips curled into a faint smile as virtual-novel.net strangled Florian’s neck tighter and harder. Florian was struggling to breathe, his face turning purplish-blue.
“Three years ago, you claimed that I stole our money and kicked me out of the Darby clan. But who’d have known that every penny of the eight million bucks I used to buy oil stocks was mine. They had nothing to do with you!” Darryl started, with no emotion on his face.
“You…” Florian was almost out of breath. He wanted to resist, but virtual-novel.net had no strength left in him.
“One month ago, I invested 30 billion dollars in the Darby clan. All of you claimed that I had evil plans, but little did you know that all I wanted to do was pay back the kindness you all showed me when I was young. Even if you mistreated me in the past, it didn’t mean that I should do the same to you. Now a week ago, Jackson’s wife was assaulted, and you all accused me! I said it wasn’t me, but nobody f‘cking believed me! ” Darryl screamed irrationally. His words rang in the hall.
All eyes were glued on Darryl, and nobody said a word.
Dong!
Darryl released his grip, and Florian’s body fell to the floor. He took in breath after breath, his hand holding onto his throat uneasily.
Meanwhile, Dax Sanders’ men had beat up all the Darby clan members, and they laid helplessly on the floor.
Silence. Complete silence. You would probably be able to hear a pin dropping to the floor.
“I, Darryl Darby, was raised and nurtured by Grandpa. Right now, my father could be alive or dead,” Darryl said with the sword in his hand and his voice projecting with power as it resonated in the hall.
He clenched his fists, the nails stabbing his flesh till it bled, but virtual-novel.net did not feel any pain. “If my father is alive, both of our debts and favors are wiped clean. If my father is dead, I want everyone in the Darby clan dead.”
Vroom!
Lightning struck, followed by heavy rain. Darryl marched out of the mansion with his father in arms.
