Chapter 2557
Pleased with the answer, Zhu Bajie waved his arm to dismiss Cheyenne and the others. ''Brother Zhu!''
After they left, Darryl could no longer suppress his curiosity. ''Where are we?''
''You're at the Yach Manor in Mistloren, '' Zhu Bajie replied with a chuckle. 'What? Mistloren?'
Darryl froze instantly and exclaimed in panic, ''Oh, crap.''
Zhu Bajie became extremely curious. ''What's wrong? What's happening?'' It had been years since the last time he met Darryl, and he was puzzled by how desperate and anxious he was at the time.
Darryl explained what had happened in the past few days with a bitter smile. ''Zhang Jue?''
Zhu Bajie furrowed his brows after he listened to the story and said, ''F*ck, is he really that despicable?''
''Brother Zhu, the Carters are captured, and Jewel's safety is unknown. I have to go back,'' Darryl replied anxiously.
Zhu Bajie took a deep breath and consoled him. ''Anxiety won't help when you 're so heavily injured. Why don't you stay here while you recover? I'" ask around for information and rescue Jewel and the Carters when there's a chance.''
''Thank you, Brother Zhu.'' Darryl's face lit up with joy as he expressed his gratitude. Zhu Bajie nodded and told Darryl to rest before he immediately stepped out of the room.

At the same time, at the Endless Sky Organization's main altar. Chester walked to the prison cell with a solemn expression.
He announced to the disciples on patrol when he reached the entrance. ''I'm here to advise the Carters to surrender according to my master's order.''
The disciples opened the gate for him when they heard that. Chester took a deep breath before he entered the prison. ''Chester Wilson!''
Dax was in the corner of the cell when he noticed Chester's arrival. He stood up abruptly and scolded him. ''Darryl and I have always respected you. Why did you turn to Zhang Jue? Answer me!''
Dax almost shot flames from his eyes when he said that. He still did not understand why Chester would submit to Zhang Jue as he had always been a just person.
The others started to shout at him; they followed Dax's suit.
''He's right! You are seeking personal gain by selling out on us. How shameless of you to come to see us!''
''Leave! We don't want to see you.''
''We must have been blind for trusting and respecting you so much.''
The group's angry shouts came one after another. Yvette was the only one who stood there without a word as she stared at Chester quietly.
Chester's expression was pained when he turned to Dax. ''You've misunderstood, Dax.'' ''It' s true!''
Yvette could no longer hold it in and spoke up. ''Can't you guys see that Brother Chester is only pretending to submit to Zhang Jue? He's doing that to ensure our safety! Otherwise, we would've been killed by Zhang Jue already.''
The whole prison cell became deadly silent.
