Swoosh!
Everyone looked at Lucas in shock.
He had hit Darryl and made him pass out?
“I—”
Lucas panicked as he felt their gazes on him. However, he snapped back to his senses and sneered at Darryl. “You sure know how to make up stories. You’re the Elysium Gate’s Sect Master and the Westrington Emperor; how could I make you pass out so easily? Don’t try to push the responsibility on me.”
Then, Lucas said, “Darryl, you’re an influential figure, yet you would not admit your mistakes. How can you call yourself a man?”
‘F*ck!’
Darryl was furious when Lucas twisted the truth. However, he did not have any evidence, so he did not know how to explain himself.
Lucas chuckled.
When he saw Darryl was silent, Lucas felt proud. He sneered at the man. “I see that you’re speechless—must be your guilty conscience.”
Woo!
Darryl took a deep breath and did not bother to talk to him. Instead, he turned to look at Jacob and said, “Manor Master Jacob, I did not know what happened that night. However, I can swear it with my reputation. Miss Parker and I are friends. I would never do such a thing to her.”
“Hmm—”
Jacob’s stern expression relaxed a little. He nodded and said, “Naturally, I believe Master Darby. I find this entire incident a little fishy. It looks like I will have to investigate it properly.”
As the Famed Sword Manor’s Manor Master, Jacob was an experienced cultivator. Even though he had only known Darryl for a short time, he knew that Darryl was not that kind of person.
“Uncle!”
Lucas got anxious. He yelled, “Darryl is not what he seems to be! He may seem like a nice person, but he is a despicable person. How can you trust his words?”
At that moment, Lucas was extremely nervous.
