The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2488

Chapter 2488

Lillian was reluctant to leave. After all, it had taken them over a month of preparation to go there. It seemed like such a waste to leave so early into their  journey, but she  knew they were out  of  options. The technology and equipinent they had with them were falling apart, and they were all exhausted. If they were to carry on, it would result in nothing but their demise. 

Darryl beaITied at her words. ''Great, I plan on leaving this area as well. Let's stick together and take care of one another for now.''

Darryl was relieved that Lillian had conie to her senses. He would have left them behind if she had insisted on continuing their J• ourney.

''Whatever,'' Lillian retorted impatiently. For a split second, she had wanted to refuse his offer. That man was far too cunning to keep around, and, rnost importantly, she desperately wished to be rid of him once and for all, considering the ernbarrassing experience between thern. However, that area was extrernely dangerous, and to have someone like Darryl, who was farniliar with that region, might just be the safest option for them.

A few minutes later, Lillian and her rnen packed up their belongings swiftly and proceeded to exit the Valley of Death with Darryl. He looked back as they stepped out of the Valley of Death, overwhelmed with emotions and rnernories. It took another two hours before Darryl, Lillian, and the others arrived at a town situated on the border between the Wild

Deserted Secret Region and the Nine Mainlands. Darryl's jaw dropped in awe the mornent they stepped into the town. He rernembered distinctly that that area was nothing but ruins that were close to the battlefield three years ago but had evolved into a town in such a short period.

The town, named Black Water Town, was fornied over the years as niore people ventured into the Wild Deserted Secret Region frolll various places in the Nine Mainlands. Naturally, the people in that town niainly were cultivators; ordinary people were as rare as hens' teeth. Darryl

followed Lillian and her nien as they strolled the streets of Black Water Town. His appearance resenibled a caveman with clothes niade of  aninial skin, untrinirned hair, and the scars on his cheeks soon becanie the center of attention. Darryl ignored the stares directed his way and scanned the town with interest. He noticed that, even though Black Water Town was not a big town,  there  were countless  shops along the way, and the streets were packed with people.

Once they reached the most bustling street, Lillian ordered the others to return to their hostel for some rest while she headed to the black market to sell the inner cores and skin they had harvested from the Black Sand Pythons which they had kept with care during their hunt. The Black Sand Pythons' skin is a one-of-a-kind item that could be turned into luxurious leather goods that would be extremely valuable in the market.

Darryl's interest immediately peeked at the mention of a black market. ''I want to go too,'' he said with a smile.

''What for?'' Lillian turned to stare at him reluctantly.

''I need to sell the inner cores I have too, don't I? You can't keep all the good stuff to yourself,'' he said. Lillian could not argue with his logic and allowed him to follow her with resignation.

They arrived at a private trading center a few minutes later, which was nothing but a glorified name for the black market. The scale of the trading center was incredible, with the entire six-story building by itself, with an inscribed board that read Yellow Sky

Trading above the entrance. ''Yellow Sky Trading?''

''What a unique name, '' Darryl muttered to himself.

''Seriously? Haven't you heard about Yellow Sky Trading before? Are you really from the Nine Mainland?'' Lillian mocked.

''Why?'' Intrigued, Darryl went on to ask, ''Are they famous or something?''

Lillian smiled mockingly and began to explain. Over the past years, as the number of cultivators that venture into the Wild Deserted Secret Region continued to increase, the  establishrnent of  black markets, namely private trading centers, thrived at an incredible speed. Yellow Sky Trading was the largest organization among them, with its branches widely spread across the  Nine Mainlands, with an enormous influence. However,  the  founder of Yellow Sky Trading had remained anonymous. No one had heard or seen him
