The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2571

Chapter 2571

The baby dragon seemed excited at the mention of Jewel's name by Darryl. It twisted and turned trying to tell them that it was Jewel, but words simply didn't come up as it wished because it was too young. Darryl, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice the abnormal behaviour of the baby dragon.

Zhu Bajie took a deep breath and his expression became thoughtful. He hesitated for a split second before explaining, ''Um...Brother, I need you to be prepared for this. What I heard was far from good news. The Carter Family are indeed captured by Zhang Jue and are now held as prisoners. As for your sworn brothers Chester and Jewel, something bad has happened.''

Darryl felt his blood run cold at the words and asked hurriedly, ''What happened to Brother Cheste and Jewel?'' Brother Cheste and Jewel were two of the most important people to me, one being his sworn brother that had always had his back, the other being his confidante. It would tear Darryl apart if anything was to happen to them!

Zhu Bajie scratched his head as he struggled to find the right words, before looking back at Darryl in distress and said, ''Chester has submitted to Zhang Jue...and Jewel...she is dead!''

Not over half a day ago, Zhu Bajie had managed to capture a Hall Master of the Endless Sky Organization and was told that Zhang Jue's men had found Jewel's corpse. As for Chester switching sides to follow Zhang Jue, that was no longer new information.

What? Darryl's body jerked forward in shock before he stumbled backward, feeling as though all strength had been drained from him. His eyes were red and tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably. 'Jewel...is dead? No...this can't be. She is such a kind-hearted girl with her entire life ahead of her, how could she die? This isn't real,' he thought.

''Zhang Jue, I'm going to tear you to shreds if that's the last thing I do!'' Darryl roared with his fists clenched, his rage burning like wildfire within him. Sensing Darryl's despair, the baby dragon was touched beyond words and tried its best to lean into Darryl as an attempt to express its gratitude.

It wasn't until half a minute later before Darryl eventually calmed down. He stared at Zhu Bajie and asked, ''You said that Brother Chester went under the wings of Zhang Jue. Are you certain about that?'' Brother Chester was the most righteous man he knew, hell could freeze over before he would turn his back on what was right and work for Zhang Jue.

''I heard it from a Hall Master of the Endless Sky Organization.'' Zhu Bajie smiled bitterly before continuing with a more serious tone,  ''Besides, I saw with my own eyes that when Chester appeared at the hall of the Endless Sky Organization, all those disciples that belong to the Endless

Sky Organization were very respectful to him. It doesn't seem to be fake news.''

Darryl collapsed into one of the chairs nearby at the confirmation, lost in thoughts and unable to utter a word.
