Chapter 3731
'What?!' Dane's heart lurched, stunned, he stared at Darryl blankly. He was at a complete loss for words as the panic coursed through his blood. 'Did he address Her Majesty by her name?'
"Darryl!" Ileana shot up happily from her throne and quickly walked toward him. she sized him up before she said, "It's really you! You're not dead! This is unbelievable!" 3
She was overjoyed. She had always been the cold and aloof type, but she showed a different side of her to Darryl.
Dane, the envoys, and the underworld officials were dumbfounded. 'Is he the famous Darryl from the Nine Mainland? Didn't he get swept into the chaotic vortex three years ago?'
Ileana glanced at Dane and said, "Dane, Darryl is an old friend of mine and the hero of the Nine Mainland. Do you know what's your punishment for behaving so disrespectfully toward him?"
Her voice was not loud, but the grandeur of it was suffocating.
Dane was sweating profusely. He knelt again and hit his head against the ground. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Then he said to Darryl, "Your Excellency, it's my fault for not recognizing you. Please have some mercy and forgive me."
If it were any other person than Darryl, Dane would not have apologized at all; his position in the Ghost World allowed him to enjoy certain privileges. However, Darryl was the Nine Mainland's hero and Illeana's friend; there was no way he would dare to cause more offense than he already did.
Darryl waved his hand, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I don't blame you at all."
"Thankyou, Your Excellency!" Dane wiped the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he left the hall.
"What happened, Darryl? How did you escape the chaotic vortex and come back here?" Ileana asked with a faint smile.
Darryl took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "It's a long story—" It took him ten minutes or so to tell her all that had happened to him.
His story shocked everyone in the hall into silence. They could not believe that he had become the Nine Heaven Sage, giving him a status that was second only to the Nine Heaven Emperor.
