The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1702

After all, Darryl was the New World Royal’s nemesis.

Phew!

Donoghue took a deep breath. He could sense that Lord Kenny would not budge. He smiled and said, “Your Majesty, if you’re not willing to give all of them to me, would you allow me to pick a few of them?”

Donoghue did not want to leave empty-handed after he had traveled such a long way!

Besides, Darryl had way too many family and friends in captivity. It would be a hassle for Donoghue to guard all of them if Lord Kenny were to allow him to take all of them. Donoghue would rather choose one or two of them, especially those who were closest to Darryl. They would still be useful to lure Darryl to make an appearance.

‘Just one or two?’

Lord Kenny frowned. He nodded after he pondered for a brief moment. “Very well!”

Lord Kenny gave an order to Florian. “When the ceremony is over, you will take Donoghue to the prison and let him pick a few people!”

“Yes!” Florian replied quickly.

Donoghue also cracked a slight smile and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

…

Meanwhile, a dozen miles up North Middle Terra, where the Sky Fountain Sect’s cottage was located.

The elites from various World Universe sects chased after Zhurong in response to Megan’s command, but none of them was as fast as Zhurong. In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn, and they had to return empty-handed.

“Useless!”

Megan was in a hall within the abandoned cottage; she sat there with her stony but beautiful face. She snarled, “What a bunch of rubbish! There are so many of you, yet none of you could catch them!”

All the elites bowed their heads and stood there; they trembled. They were so scared that they held their breath.

“Hey, everyone!” Kent stepped out and scolded them. “When everything was going well, you pledged loyalty to Sect Master Megan with all your heart and soul, but you guys are useless when sh*t gets real!”

Oh, f*ck!

All the elites were angry when they heard Kent’s accusations.

Kent was a good-for-nothing, but he was all puffed up because he was Megan’s fiancé.

However, no one dared to offend him even though they were furious, especially when Megan was there.
