The Westrington officials had called for a meeting immediately after hearing that Darryl had helped the South Cloud World defeat Yang Jian’s army. Finally, they decided to invite Darryl back to Westrington.
After all, only Darryl could defend against Yang Jian in the entire Nine Mainland. If Darryl were there, then Westrington would be saved.
Woo!
Darryl took a deep breath; he understood what the man meant.
He realized why it had turned out that way.
“Your Majesty!”
Benjamin panicked when Darryl kept silent. He pleaded earnestly. “That b*stard, Brad Ford, had betrayed you to help that despicable evil man—Donoghue. He should be executed! So, the officials joined forces, and we managed to get him locked up before I came here. Your Majesty, you can punish him when you return to Westrington.
“Your Majesty, your humble servant is sincerely begging for your return. I am here on behalf of all the Westrington people. Your Majesty, please agree to come back. You are a generous man and have a big heart. You cannot abandon Westrington just like that.”
When he finished, Benjamin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Darryl non-stop. His attitude was extremely sincere.
Wow!
Everyone was baffled when they saw that; they looked at Darryl in a daze, and they were speechless.
Even Quincy trembled as she bit her lips. She was extremely shocked. She looked at Darryl in utter disbelief.
Woo!
Finally, Darryl snapped back to his senses. He did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He looked at Benjamin and lifted his hand. “Very well, stop kowtowing to me. I’ll agree to be the Westrington Emperor.”
Darryl knew that Benjamin would kowtow until he had a concussion if he did not agree to that request.
Plus, it would be good for Darryl to be the Westrington Emperor; why would he not agree to that?
“Your Majesty, you are benevolent. On behalf of all the officials, I thank you, Your Majesty,” Benjamin said gratefully as he stood up. He was delighted.
Darryl smiled and said, “I will go back to secure the situation, but not now. I still have some important things to do here. So, you should head back first. Don’t worry. Yang Jian would not be so reckless once he hears that I am the Westrington Emperor.”
Darryl was in the South Cloud World to look for Debra. He had not even found her yet; how could he leave to Westrington to be its emperor?
