Upon hearing Darren's words, Hailey was devastated.
"Is that true Darren?" She felt her heart crack. Tears flowed down her cheeks in a continuous stream.
Darren was dumbfounded. His words were, indeed, too much. Hailey must have been incredibly hurt.
"Miss Yao, since he looks down upon you so much, why bother sticking with him? Being my wife would make you feel like the luckiest woman alive," said Yahya.
"Get lost," replied Hailey, her annoyance evident in her voice.
"Ha! Miss Yao, I know you are still angry. Please let me take you back. After we spend more time together, I'm sure you will fall in love with me."
As he spoke, he controlled Hailey's body with a powerful force. He hid her away.
"Let me go!" Hailey cried.
"You bitch! Ha! See how you like me now!"
Yahya laughed out loud.
"Don't think so highly of yourself. I can do whatever I want to you!"
When Darren saw this, flames of rage burning in his eyes.
Yahya observed Darren's expression. "Free her if you can. I'll be waiting for you at the Spiritual Ape Island. But you better hurry! She may soon be with child."
Yahya laughed maniacally as he and Hailey disappeared into thin air.
Darren began to shake all over. His chest was tight and his heart hurt. Although Hailey wasn't his wife, he and Hailey had once shared their bodies with each other. It hurt to see her suffer and be taken by such a terrible man.
"Ah!"
Darren's eyes were bloodshot.
On the sea
The purple figure suddenly stopped.
"Don't cry, Hailey," Yahya comforted.
Hailey's face was a mask of pain and she struggled to speak.
"Please let me go. I'm begging you. No matter he wants me or not, I belong to him. I will never yield to you,"
Hailey begged, her voice hoarse.
"Don't be silly, my dear. Why would I take you away? I only did that to anger Darren. He only said those words to protect you, you know?"
"What?"
Hailey raised her head. Her heart filled with hope.
"Don't you understand? The reason why you are here is to get the inheritance of the Feminine and Masculine Emperor Character. Darren is here to get the Fire and Water Emperor Character. Darren has the Shura Force, so a hidden test was activated. You are here only by accident. I'm not a hooligan. I won't do anything to you."
"You mean... not everyone has the chance to take this test of 'Rivals'?"
It suddenly dawned on Hailey that the Yahya in front of her was no longer the ignorant young man she had met before but the holy emperor that had set up the test.
"That's right. You can only take the hidden test because of Darren. He might be the one who killed me, you know?" Yahya said.
"So you want to threaten Darren by using me?" Hailey smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Darren doesn't care about me at all. Even if you torture me and insult me, he won't care."
"You are wrong," Yahya said calmly. "You know Darren better than I do. He wouldn't turn away from his friends, let alone you."
With those words, Hailey's heart skipped a beat.
