'What?' Immediately, everyone there was shocked.
Being the first to collect his thoughts, he looked at Darryl with a cold gaze. "What do you mean? Are you saying that there's another reason that caused my wife to become like this?"
Immediately, everyone turned to Darryl, waiting for his answer.
Darryl smiled and said to Zacho softly, "That's right. Your wife went berserk, not because she experienced a psychotic break but because she was poisoned."
Then, Darryl stood with a half-smile and quietly observed everyone's reaction.
Darryl was not talking nonsense. After observing closely, Valerie was indeed poisoned. Plus, that poison would cause one to be confused, and hence she became insane.
Moreover, Darryl had guessed the person who poisoned Valerie. The North Sea Galaxy most probably did it, and that person was most probably present there. The main altar of the North Sea Galaxy was heavily guarded, and the probability of an outsider sneaking in to poison the Sect Mistress was relatively low. Therefore, the most suspicious ones were the internal members of the sect, especially the elders present there. Each of them had extraordinary identities, and they often met with the Sect Mistress. They had the best opportunities to poison her.
'Huh?'
'Poisoned by someone?'
Instantly, the entire bedchamber had fallen into pin-drop silence. Zacho stood there and stared blankly at Darryl. He felt a buzz in his head, and his mind turned blank.
Feeling utterly shocked, the few elders stared at each other.
"Mistress went berserk because she was poisoned? How… How could that be possible?"
"Who dares to poison the Mistress?"
"I bet this dude here is talking nonsense because he doesn't want to produce elixirs, right?"
Hearing Darryl's plausible explanation, Zacho knitted his brows and started to doubt.
'Could it be… This dude telling the truth?'
At the same time, the elders erupted with anger again, especially the third elder, Magnum Walt. He was exasperated, and he pointed at Darryl, cursing, "B*stard! You've become more daring and disrespectful. The Genuine Point is an important acupoint of the human body. How can you poke it with the silver needle?"
"Just now, you claimed that the Mistress was being poisoned to cause the people in the North Sea Galaxy to be suspicious of each other. Now you're telling us to poke the acupoint with a silver needle. Haha. I bet you have bad intentions and want to stir up conflicts within the North Sea Galaxy."
After that, Magnum said to Zacho as he clasped his fists, "Sect Master, this man has ulterior motives. Just now, he refused to produce elixirs for the Mistress, and now he's talking nonsense. I suggest we should lock him up, and when the Sect Master of the Pure Yang Division asks, we'll explain the situation to them."
Magnum spoke with a serious face, but his eyes flickered with cunningness.
Darryl had guessed correctly. Someone had indeed poisoned Valerie, and it was Magnum. On the outside, he looked like a righteous man, but in fact, he was lustful.
