The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2317

Joe’s eyes darted back and forth as if he was unsure. He then smiled and responded, “Oh, this? My ancestors were doctors and they left behind some formulas as their legacy. It is difficult to get medical attention this deep into the woods so I picked herbs as backups when I was logging.” Joe’s tone was composed as he explained, but his eyes were filled with panic.

Darryl couldn’t see his face in their positions and hence, didn’t think to doubt his explanation. After some time, they managed to reach halfway through the mountainside. An empty field unfolded before them. A few cabins were scattered across the field next to one another, with trimmed logs piling up next to them.

“Where is your family?” Darryl asked as he turned to look at Joe.

“They are probably resting in the cabin. Good sir, you can just walk in!” Joe replied anxiously.

At the same time, Gonggong’s brows tangled up with anticipation. Darryl paid no mind to her expression as he nodded, setting Joe down on the bench next to the door, before proceeding to push the doors open.

The moment the doors swung open, Darryl froze at the scene before him. There sat a woman with panic written all over her face. There were two children next to her who couldn’t have been over 10 years old. Their faces were pale with fear.

It was obvious that they were Joe’s wife and children, but by the looks of it, it seemed as though they had been threatened and were being held as hostages.

At that instant, Darryl realized that something was wrong. Before he could react, a shadow dashed in from the doorway and sent a fierce punch on Darryl’s chest. It was Zhang Jue, his expression bloodthirsty and cruel.

Zhang Jue was swift in his ambush and within close proximity. Darryl couldn’t do much to dodge, but he managed to immediately fire up his internal energy as protection.

Baam!

The punch landed directly on Darryl’s chest in full force. With a muffled grunt, he was sent flying backwards. He slammed into a tree and fell to the ground.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…” Terrified, Joe shouted towards Darryl in tears. “I didn’t want to do this, he made me…”

As he broke down into a sobbing mess, the herbs he was holding fell to the ground, revealing azure pills that were stuffed in between the herbs. Darryl ignored Joe and locked his glare onto Zhang Jue.

“Zhang Jue!” Withstanding the agonizing pain, Darryl said coldly,”You pride yourself over being the commander of North Moana Continent, and yet you use such despicable means against me.”

Darryl felt as if his heart had been completely shattered to pieces.

Intensive pain radiated throughout his body but at the same time, he was glad that he managed to protect himself from further damages with his internal energy. Otherwise, that punch Zhang Jue landed could have easily killed him.

Zhang Jue laughed at the comment and stared right into Darryl’s eyes. “Darryl Darby, there is no means too despicable if it serves the purpose. You are indeed a talented one, but it’s a shame that you are too caught up with benevolence. Back at the South Cloud World, had you left those commoners behind, you wouldn’t have been suppressed by me the entire time.”

Zhang Jue’s eyes flashed in wicked coldness, “I’ll tell you right now, I was the one who broke Joe’s leg. I threatened him into working for me with the lives of his wife and children. He was ordered to fool you here, right where I would be waiting to ambush you. See those herbs that he was holding?

The blue pills stuffed between them are called the Bone Breaker Pills. I had them prepared just for you.
