The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 5432

What a crazy woman.

At the sight, Darryl could not help but ponder to himself: this lady could actually hold her pain in, even after being injured so seriously.

Darryl got closer and closer, pointing his long sword at Rachelle's chest. "I'm going to ask you one last time. Where is the Palace Master?"

As he spoke, Darryl's eyes flashed bloodshot as he was starting to be unable to hold back his anger for much longer.

Rachelle looked at the blade pointed her way quietly, her exquisite features not showing any emotion. "I won't care even if you kill me. You're not going to get away today."

Just an hour ago, Prince Auten had specifically instructed Rachelle to lure him into this formation the second she saw him.

Rachelle was completely under control then, and did completely as Prince Auten asked. To her, there was nothing more important than carrying out the duties he set for her— not even her own life.

F*ck!

Darryl gritted his teeth at the sight of Rachelle's determined expression, both angered yet helpless.

To Darryl, Rachelle was indeed wrong for plotting against him— but she did not deserve to die. He honestly could not bring himself to kill her.

Whew…

A few seconds later, Darryl took a deep breath as he looked at Rachelle with the ghost of a smile on his face. "Rachelle, do you think you're going to be able to stop me with a simple Five Delusions Formation? You think too little of me, darling.""

Darryl thought then that his opponent was only of the opinion that victory would be hers because of the formation, and that was why she was so confident.

Rachelle looked at him blankly, not responding.

Just then, Darryl did not bother to waste further words. He summoned the magical energy around him, raising a hand to send a wave of powerful energy rolling out around him.

The energy whipped around the palace as the rocks shattered one by one. In an instant, the Five Delusions Formation had been destroyed.

Upon doing so, Darryl looked at Rachelle with a pleased expression. "Bet you didn't see that coming, did you?"

Yet he did not expect for Rachelle's expression to remain completely neutral. It was as if the formation being destroyed had nothing to do with her.

To tell the truth, Darryl had long guessed that Adam would be nearby in hiding as he waited for Darryl to show up at the hall. Yet he had never thought that Adam's timing would be as such.

What surprised Darryl even more that this 'Adam Bedford' radiated an aura that was distinctly much stronger than what he had in Darryl's memory.

What cultivation method had Adam been practicing? How had he gotten so much better in a matter of days?

From the looks of it… he managed to kill Zacho by more than sheer dumb luck.

What Darryl had not realized then yet was that the man before him was not Adam at all, but Prince Auten.

"It's time we settle our grievances, Darryl Darby."

Within the blink of an eye, Prince Auten appeared in front of Darryl, his gaze flashing with resentment and glee. "You're not going to get out of this, Darryl. To hell with you."

As the final word rang through the air, Prince Auten's internal energy surged as he landed his blow.

To tell the truth, Prince Auten had moved far too fast and Darryl barely had time to duck. Yet he did not panic in the slightest, and summoned his internal energy to form a protective shield around him.
