The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1440

Darryl walked all the way to the front of the palace. From far, he saw a notice that the palace had posted on the notice board. He followed the crowd to take a look and realized that it was the competition rules.

Since some participants had registered for both literary and martial arts competitions, both competitions would be held separately. The martial arts competition would be held in the morning and the literary one in the afternoon.

Both competitions had the same style—participants would go through elimination rounds to proceed to the next one. The first day was the preliminaries, and then the elimination matches would take place for the next three days until they had their finalists.

After he read through the rules, Darryl went to the competition site—the Nine Suns Altar!

The New World Emperor had used the Nine Suns Altar when he ascended to the throne. However, it had been turned into a competition site. At that moment, the altar was divided into two—one for the literary competition and the other for the martial arts competition.

When he reached there, Darryl gasped; he was bewildered.

There were too many people at the Nine Suns Altar. It seemed like the news about Princess Yvette’s martial arts marriage tournament had caused a massive commotion in the Royal City. It was only the first day, and it looked like everyone in the city was there to watch it unfold.

Thousands of soldiers in bright-colored armor stood neatly in two rows at the Nine Suns Altar entrance. From far, it was a majestic sight to behold! A man stood in front of the royal army; he was dressed regally to show off his dignified status. It was Florian Darby!

That was right; the deputy examiner for that tournament was Florian Darby, and Sloan was the examiner.

Over the years, the wise and intelligent Florian had quick promotions. He had been a military supervisor, and then he was the Governor General. It seemed like the man had a position of power.

It was probably because he knew how to pick his battles, and he could read others easily. Hence, the New World Emperor appreciated his talents. So, the Emperor made him and Sloan in charge of the tournament.

‘Florian?’

Darryl’s expression changed abruptly. He was surprised and furious; then, he felt emotional.

Darryl could never forget how Florian had framed him. They used to be brothers, but Florian had never wanted to have that bond with Darryl. He continued to push Darryl to his death.

Darryl had not seen him for many years. He did not expect that not only Florian did not get the bad karma that he deserved, but he had lived a good life in the New World. He was not only a high-ranking official, but he was also the tournament’s deputy examiner.
