The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1493

If this happened days before, Parker would not have felt so frustrated. However, after being with Darryl for the past two days, she knew he was someone with hidden talents.

As such, when she saw that she was in the same group as Luca, Parker felt intense pressure. She could hardly breathe.

Soon, the competition began!

Darryl and Parker walked towards the table. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

“Looks like I’m going to lose this round!” Parker said with a faint smile.

Parker suddenly felt relieved when she said that. Honestly, Parker had never thought of winning first place when she came to join the literary competition.

The main reason she was there was to make friends with talented people from the nine continents. She also saw this as a way to challenge her knowledge.

Most importantly, she was a girl, so how could she be the Prince Consort to the Princess?

Darryl had a comforting expression as he smiled but did not speak.

Under normal circumstances, Darryl would let Parker win on purpose. However, he did not have a choice.

To take Yvette away with him, he had to win first place in both literary and martial arts in the martial arts competition.

The competition was extremely peaceful; all eight participants were focused solely on the burr puzzle, trying everything they could and not wasting any time.

Everyone that was watching was very excited too. Occasionally there were shouts of surprise heard.

“Mister Dokko is really fast!”

“Such a sharp mind and sleek moves. How impressive!”

As they talked, many people were focused on Darryl and Parker’s group.

“Ha-ha! Luca is in the same group with Parker again.”

“I heard that Luca is Parker’s servant.”

Luca must have played with the burr puzzle before. That was why he could solve the puzzle so quickly. His ability to win each round was all due to luck and had nothing to do with his intelligence.

“Luca won again.” The Empress furrowed her brows, and she looked frustrated.

She had always looked down on Luca. He looked ordinary, and his literary knowledge was normal. He was not the ideal candidate for her daughter. It was indeed a miracle that he managed to pass through all the competitions.

The New World Emperor did not speak, but he observed Darryl closely.

‘This man is really interesting.’

With that thought in mind, the New World Emperor asked Florian, “Minister Darby, what is the progress on the things I asked you to investigate.”

At the martial arts competition earlier in the morning, Asher decided to pull out from the competition and let Darryl progress to the next round. At that moment, the New World Emperor suspected that there were problems with Luca’s real identity.

Now, Luca has qualified for the top four in the literary competition. His Majesty was getting more curious about his identity.
