Chapter 2484
However, her internal energy was at its lirnit, trying to fend off the corrosive, poisonous fog. If she
refused to do as Darryl suggested, she would die right there and then. The thought of dying and
rotting away in the toxic fog sent chills down Lillian's spine and, though she struggled, she was left
with no option but to accept her reality.
She bit her lips reluctantly and walked into Darryl's elllbrace to share the animal's skin.
'What a wondrous scent,' Darryl thought as his senses were attacked by a sweet fragrance so
overwhelining that he felt almost like he was drunk His eyes wandered as he looked at Lillian f rorn a
close distance.
He had to adrnit that Lillian's figure was truly close to perfection and, with their bodies pushed up
against one another, the atmosphere between them instantly turned dubious. Any Blood Thorn
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmember would have been stunned if they had to bear witness to the moment when their prideful and
fearless leader admitted def eat to Darryl. When she sensed Darryl's teasing glances, Lillian bit her
lips hard to the brink of tearing the skin. She dared not move despite feeling extremely uneasy, in
fear of exposure to the poisonous fog around them.
''Darren, don't you dare try anything once we reach somewhere safe. Otherwise, I'll never
forgive you,'' she said.
''You are reading too much into it. I'm not even interested in you,'' Darryl responded.
''You-''
Lost in time, Darryl and Lillian were unsure as to how long it actually took, but eventually, they managed to make it
out of the area covered by the poisonous fog.
Darryl retrieved a piece of animal skin from the enchanted beast's pouch and produced a makeshift jacket for
Lillian.
''You-'' Furious beyond words, Lillian glared at Darryl and said, ''If you had the anirnal's skin on you the entire
time, why did you have to wait until now to retrieve it?'' She felt like he was toying with her
agai• n.
At that point, Darryl was dumbfounded by how evil she thought he was and said, ''I could have taken the time to
make you a jacket with animal skin just now, but would you have withstood the fog?''
Lillian's face reddened as she struggled to argue. ''In any case, Darren Derby, I'm warning you not to say anything
about what happened earlier, or else!1 she said as
she glared at Darryl furiously.
Lillian was humiliated and depressed about the situation. She was not just any ordinary woman; she was the leader
of the Blood Thorn Mercenary Team. Her conduct and reputation had always been as clear as ice and as pure as
jade, and yet she was forced into such close proximity with a man for such a long period. If word got out about
that, what would the other Blood Thorn Mercenary Team members think of her?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl picked at his ears and pretended as though he could not hear a thing. 11Sorry, Ms. Willis, but I didn't quite
catch that. Did anything happen between us at all?'' He asked as he grinned like a Cheshire Cat the entire time.
'What an interesting wonian Lillian is,' he thought as he chuckled discreetly. 'The way she pouts is just adorable.'
''You-'' Lillian bit her lower lip in frustration as she struggled to find the words. After all, Darryl was
right. They might have been in close proximity, but he did not do anything to her.
''Leader!'' An excited shout pierced through the air as they spoke, followed by a few people striding
toward theni. It was Otis and his friends. Threatened by Earle, they did not dare to go after hini. Still,
they were reluctant to leave without Lillian and decided to wait instead. They ran toward the two,
but they froze once they were close enough to notice Lillian's situation.
What had happened? Lillian was dressed in an animal's skin like Darryl, and she was visibly
weakened, yet her cheeks were flushed.
On the other hand, Darryl remained composed throughout the entire time, while Lillian felt the heat
creep up her face in awkwardness.
''F*ck!'' Finally, Otis snapped out of the inmal shock and roared furiously at Darryl, ''You scurn, what
have you done to our leader?'' He tightened his grip on his sword
and dashed toward Darryl.
