'Ha! What an idiot.'
Rachelle, who stood behind Darryl, chuckled coldly upon seeing that scene.
'What a bunch of savages. How dare they behave arrogantly before the head of the Elixir Sector of the Pure Yang Division? Were they trying to get themselves killed?'
Rachelle knew Darryl's abilities and that he could easily defeat Alfredo and the mountain bandits if he wanted to. She may have seemed anxious externally, but she felt the complete opposite.
Phew!
Darryl noticed the changes in Rachelle's expression and chuckled to himself.
'Does that woman think I'm going to attack? I'll do the opposite then.'
Darryl thought to himself and pretended to panic.
"How reasonable of you to attack without any heads up!"
He then turned around and fled the scene.
He grabbed Rachelle's hand and said to her, "Run quickly. They have the upper hand in numbers, so I may be unable to defeat them."
What?
Rachelle was stunned upon hearing that and uttered, "Didn't you defeat the Quad Ocean Sect by yourself? Why can't you defeat these mere mountain bandits?"
Darryl was none other than the head of the Elixir Sector of the Pure Yang Division. On top of that, he escaped from ten different sects that worked together to catch him and even injured plenty of them in the process.
Adam had also mentioned that Darryl was a mysterious man of unpredicted power, so why did he panic before those bandits?
Darryl chuckled bitterly upon seeing her confused expression, "I've actually not fully recovered from my injuries from yesterday, so I won't be able to fight against these bandits."
Darryl knew Rachelle waited for him to punish those bandits, so he decided to lie.
Darryl had already thought it all out. He knew that the woman would surely expose her own identity upon facing danger.
Injury from yesterday?
Rachelle was once again stunned. Could it be that Darryl was hurt by her Senior Brother and the other sects during the siege?
"Running away now, are we?"
Alfredo and the rest of the bandits caught up to them when Rachelle was still deep in her thoughts. He raised his sword and charged toward Darryl's back.
