Whew!
Sensing Veron's temper, Darryl let out a breath before saying calmly, "Young lady, I thought I told you what happened before. Whoever attacked Heather is extremely powerful, and I'm only protecting you in keeping you here."
"What if the attacker's hiding in Donghai City? It'd be terrible if you were ambushed on your way back, wouldn't it?"
Veron shook her head vigorously, shouting out loud, "F*ck you, I don't care! I'm going back!"
As the words rang through the air, Veron was about to rush out of the room.
Darryl frowned, moving to block the door before saying in an irritated tone, "That's enough, young lady."
Veron truly had no manners at all. No wonder Ambrose didn't like her.
"I said, f*ck off!"
Just then, Veron lost her temper completely as she cried out, raising a hand to strike in Darryl's direction.
Darryl could not help but raise his tone at Veron's insolence. "You really have no manners, you spoiled brat. Even your grandfather Tuji is respectful to me, and you dare raise a hand to me?"
Splat!
As the final word rang through the air, Darryl first dodged Veron's slap before moving quick as lightning, channeling his divine energy into her Shinsen acupoint.
The Shinsen acupoint was one of the body's eight main acupoints, and would cause one an unstoppable itch when intruded,
"You…"
Just then, Veron was about to throw an even bigger tantrum. Yet she had just said one word when a wave of heat and itchiness began to spread through her body. Her face flushed crimson in an instant.
Sensing this, Veron held back the itch and called out loudly, "What… what did you do to me?"
Darryl smiled lightly. "You think that just because you're the Lange High Lady, you don't need to respect anyone. I'm just teaching you a lesson on behalf of the Langes."
"Don't worry, I won't do much to you. Just giving you a little itch."
As he spoke the words, Darryl leaned against the doorframe, his expression calm and neutral.
Veron's expression changed at the words. She was about to shout again when once again, a wave of unbearable itchiness and tickling spread through her body.
At last, another few minutes passed when Veron, drenched in sweat, could not take it any longer. "Uncle Darryl, please, I'm sorry now. Unblock my acupoint, please… I'm begging you…"
To tell the truth, Veron was nothing but reluctant to apologize.
Yet she had no choice. The itch was truly too much to take…
Whew!
Seeing her give in at last, Darryl flashed a smile as he walked into the room slowly. "I see you've learned your lesson?"
Veron nodded frantically. "Yes, I'm sorry… ha ha…. Please unblock my acupoint, I can't take it anymore… ha ha…"
Darryl did not move, staring at her solemnly. "I can do that. But you've got to promise to stop with your fits and tantrums from now on, and listen to us. Got it?"
"Yes, yes, I promise," Veron begged, close to tears.
Her expression was nothing but sincere and obedient as she spoke, but her chest boiled with rage.
Just you wait, Darryl Darby. I'm going to get back at you ten times as hard the second I get the chance.
