The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2399

Darryl sneered as he studied Zhang Jue’s expression and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to believe you, but let’s be honest here. What you have done so far makes it really difficult to do so. As long as you are focused on assisting me in our defense against the Raksasa Tribe, I promise you will get the antidote in time. Am I understood?”

“Understood…” Zhang Jue nodded without hesitation. He would not dare to say otherwise in his circumstances. Zhang Jue might be a master in the Art of Elixir, but the Heaven Cult Elixir recipe was something he had not been able to get his hands on so far. After all, the Heaven Cult Elixir was the Heaven Cult’s top-secret from years ago. Zhang Jue trembled as he pictured himself dying miserably without the antidote.

The crowd gaped at the sudden turn of events, and amongst them, Chester, Yvette, Chang Er, and the others were exceptionally pleased. They looked at Darryl with approval in their eyes.

Zhang Jue was as untamable as a wild horse. There was no way of knowing for sure whether he had truly accepted his punishment. Darryl’s approach to dealing with him was most appropriate.

“Lady Chang Er, you appointed Zhang Jue to assist me, but are you not going to lead the North Moana Army to fight against the Raksasa Tribe with us?” Darryl grinned and asked as he faced Chang Er. All eyes gathered on Chang Er once again. Indeed, as Emperor Hou Yi’s wife, the famed Lady Chang Er had connections worldwide. One word from her would be sufficient to gather all forces in the Nine Mainland to encourage better coordination.

“I—” Chang Er smiled gently when she realized that everyone was looking at her and said, “I have spent far too much time in Chun Yangzi’s sect and have completely gotten used to the peacefulness there. I cannot bear to see blood and conflicts any longer. Besides, I hardly possess the skill to lead an army.” Chang Er paused to study Darryl before she shifted to a more serious tone. “Darryl Darby, you possess exceptional talent. You are not only proficient in literature and martial art, but you are also resourceful when it comes to military strategies. No other man is worthy of leading the Nine Mainland against our enemies but you.” Sincerity and appreciation filled Chang Er’s attractive features.

She used to look down on Darryl, but after she got to know him, she realized that even though he might be indecent most of the time, he always came through and found a way to turn the circumstances around whenever and wherever he was needed. A talented man like Darryl Darby was truly a rare gem in the whole of Nine Mainland.

Darryl scratched his head absently in embarrassment after Chang Er praised him in front of such a large crowd. ‘Am I really that talented?’ he thought.

“Warrior of the North Moana Army, heed my order.” Chang Er’s expression looked dignified as she spoke to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers before her. “From today onward, as expected from Zhang Jue, you must assist Darryl Darby in the coming war against the Raksasa Tribe. Heed his every order with absolute loyalty; insubordination will not be tolerated,” she spoke coldly with unquestionable authority.

“Yes!” The generals looked at each other with hesitation before they responded respectfully. They were still reluctant to obey Chang Er’s orders. After all, the matter with Emperor Hou Yi’s death had yet to be resolved, and she was still the biggest suspect. However, Yang Jian was still missing, and Zhang Jue had submitted himself to Darryl. If they were to defy that order, they would probably be executed for insubordination.

“Yes!” Hundreds of thousands of North Moana soldiers followed in unison— their voices were loud and clear. Then they turned to Darryl and said,

“Greetings to Sect Master Darby!”
