The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2478

Chapter 2478

''What a pleasant surprise to come across such beauty in this sh*thole, '' said the bald­ headed man with a loathsome grin, with his eyes practically glued onto Lillian. The Illen who stood behind him fallowed and began sllliling evilly as well. The bald-headed leader was called Earle Warren. He was in charge of the Snow Wolf Adventurists, which was at best a glorified name for a group of bandits. Countless groups had been sent into the Wild Deserted Secret Region by different forces across the Nine Continents recently, Earle decided to bring his men with hiill and try his luck as well. But before encountering any beasts on their way, they managed to coille across Lillian and her subordinates instead.

Though Lillian was deeply disturbed by the eager eyes that were focused on her, she knew that she was in no position to do anything about it. She was the leader and naturally, the strongest of the Blood Thorn Mercenary Team, ranking at level one Martial King. Even so she was powerless before the men in front of her. Many of these men ranked at various levels of Martial King, and with the bald-headed man ranking as high as level three Martial King, Lillian and her men wouldn't stand a chance against them.

''Brother!'' Otis forced a Sillile and fawned over Earle trying to be on his good side. ''We are all here for the saille purpose of hunting the beasts, we should look after one another...'' Otis's expression at this time was filled with modesty and adulation without a trace of his previous disdain towards Darryl. Before he could finish, one of the subordinates of Earle interrupted.

''Who do you think you' re calling your brother?'' A muscular man strode over fiercely before slapping Otis in the face without any warning. ''Stop acting like we know you or something. ''

Snap! Otis was sent spinning in the air before he landed on the ground with a pained cry. He covered his face helplessly. "what did I do wrong? All I did was speak,' he thought.

Earle stared down at Lillian and the others as he scanned them over once again and sneered. ''From the looks of you, it seems like you were in battle not too long ago. Which beasts have you killed?''

''If you've managed to get your hands on inner cores, you better hand thein over before things get nasty,'' the inan next to Earle shouted.

Lillian and her inen shared looks of reluctance and anger. 'A bunch of bandits. We worked so hard to finish off those Black Sand·pythons, why should we hand the inner cores over to thein?' they thought to theinselves. One of the Blood Thorn ineinbers replied carefully, ''Brothers, we couldn't possibly be capable of killing any beasts. We were just here out of curiosity. We did coine across soine Black Sand Pythons earlier, but we ran after failing to fight them off and we ended up here.''

Lillian and the others nodded frantically in agreement. Earle scowled in response, not trusting them.
