At the thought, Darryl flashed a smile as he said to Tony, "Ah, you're from the Four Seas Alliance. No wonder you have such gusto."
As he spoke, his voice deepened. "I'd just like to know, is this what your leader Lady Tigas taught you to be like? Spreading evil and wreaking chaos everywhere?"
Despite not having seen much of Lady Tigas, Darryl knew enough about her to know that she lived by a firm set of principles and would never bully the weak nor allow her subordinates to do so.
Huh?
The words threw Tony off guard. He would have never guessed that Darryl would say such a thing. Going by his logic, he assumed that Darryl would fly to the rescue instantly.
Tony would never have guessed that Darryl would mention Lady Tigas.
At the same time, Rachelle raised her brows slightly as she began to ponder to herself.
'Darryl's tone and the fact that he brought up Lady Tigas… Could they know each other?'
No way.
Darryl was the head of the Elixir Sector at the Pure Yang Division, one of the world's most popular sects of righteousness. In contrast, Lady Tigas led the Four Seas Alliance—an infamously evil group worldwide.
How could they know each other?
He had to be making it up.
Yes, that had to be the case.
At the thought, Rachelle lowered her voice and whispered to Tony, "Don't bother keeping up the nonsense with him. Make him strike now."
The main goal was to get close to Darryl. His relationship with Lady Tigas hardly mattered.
Tony happened to stand in a position that blocked Rachelle from Darryl's line of sight, so Darryl did not see nor hear her barely audible words.
Alright!
At the order, Tony called out as he cried out to Darryl. "Who do you think you are? How dare you bring up our Lady Tigas? I'm warning you. We won't be nice to you if you don't get lost right now."
As he spoke, Tony signaled to the men around him in secret. They all knew how terrifyingly powerful Darryl was, so they would pretend to attack Darryl before retreating and scattering the second he struck back.
Huh?
Darryl frowned to himself at the words.
Were those men even from the Four Seas Alliance? How could they not even recognize a letter from Lady Tigas herself?
Could they… be fakes?
Upon pondering to himself, he took a closer look at Rachelle on the tree. She appeared to be in a helpless situation, but she was not hurt in the slightest. Thus, Darryl was surer than ever that he had guessed correctly.
They were not from the Four Seas Alliance, and the lady was also faking it.
"You there!"
The men around him followed closely behind, striking in Darryl's direction with their knives.
Due to it being an act, Tony and the rest did not bother to explode at full force but only put up a show. It was because they had all prepared to escape from the very start.
