Darryl remained motionless, his face as tranquil as quiet water.
"Darryl…"
At that critical moment, Wisteria strode toward them and yelled, "Yogi Katz, what are you doing? Stop it!"
Yogi stopped immediately and said, "Young Miss, that man disrespected Young Master. I'm punishing him, so he knows his place."
Yogi looked at Hendrick.
Hendrick was cold and silent.
Wisteria approached Hendrick and gently tugged on his sleeve. "Why would you get into a battle with other people, Hendrick? Father always taught us to treat others with kindness, but look at the havoc you have created."
"Wisteria!" Hendrick took a deep breath and glared at Keele, who was standing a distance away and said, "You were unconscious and had no idea what happened. You almost lost your life earlier. The fact that I did not completely destroy everything and kill them was a blessing. On top of that, I've also paid them."
Hendrick glared at Darryl and said, "The money I gave is enough for you to buy something new, don't get too cocky."
Darryl chuckled without saying anything.
Wisteria said nervously, "Hendrick, don't be like that. He's right. You have to apologize for causing someone harm. Or, I—" Wisteria got too overwhelmed and almost collapsed.
"Wisteria!"
Hendrick was shocked. He caught Wisteria in time and nodded aggressively. "Alright, I'll apologize!"
Hendrick turned around to look at Daisy and said, "I apologize for my actions earlier, sorry."
As Young Master Steinfield, Hendrick would not usually apologize to just anyone, but his sister was still weak. He had to get home quickly so she could rest and recover.
"All good!" Daisy chattered, scared for her life.
Hendrick waved for everyone to leave as he carried Wisteria home.
"Hey!"
Keele yelled at him again, "So you're just going to stay here? Do you have any idea who that man was earlier? He is a young master from a wealthy family who lives nearby. He won't let you off so easily now that you've offended him.
"If you still have some sense in you, you'd leave this place now, or else everyone in the Lunar Moon Hut would go down with you. Master saved you and brought you here so you could recover, not to cause us trouble."
Keele was frustrated and impatient.
'F*ck, that man is surely cursed, bringing bad luck everywhere. He'd be better off somewhere else.'
"Senior Brother!"
Daisy could not bear it any longer. She tugged on Keele and said, "What's up with you? Darryl did not do anything wrong. Those were bad people. Why are you kicking him out?"
Keele said, "If he stays here, he'll get us into more trouble. Didn't you see Young Master Steinfield's face? He'll come back here for sure."
Daisy bit her lips and fell silent.
After a brief moment of silence, Daisy said with determination, "I disagree with Darryl leaving. He needs to rest. And if he didn't save that young lady, we'd be in huge trouble."
