Chapter 4838
Though Darryl felt frustrated, he did not get angry. Instead, he giggled as he looked at
Selina.
"Young Miss, you're pretty quick-witted, but it's a shame. You got it all wrong."
Then, he looked at Old Master Stanford and added, "Old Master Stanford has been nice to
me. How could I betray the Stanfords?" 'Since they believe I'm Derrick, I shall stick with
this identity for now.'
Haha...
Looking at Darryl, Selina scoffed with contempt, "Do you mean that we all have wronged
you?" "Of course!" Darryl nodded irrefutably.
Selina scoffed and decided to ignore him.
Darryl, too, did not want to waste his breath and said smilingly, "Why don't we make a
bet? If what I said turns out to be untrue, you all may punish me however you wish. If what
I said is true, then Young Miss, you'll willingly become my wife. How about that?"
Darryl did not want to be so serious about it, but because the power of his fairy soul had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbeen sealed, he could not go anywhere within that short time, so he had to use Derrick's
identity temporarily. Therefore, he had to let the Stanfords know that he was not lying.
"Fine!"
Since Darryl wanted to make a bet, Selina agreed to it without consideration.
However, her face turned red after agreeing to it, and she felt embarrassed.
'Derrick is so unaware of himself!'
Selina turned to Derrick and said coldly, "If you lose, we'll dissolve our marriage
agreement tomorrow."
Immediately, she turned to Old Master Stanford. Old Master Stanford felt complicated, but
he still nodded in approval in the end.
After all, the arrangement for the marriage was done by him singlehandedly.
Darryl grinned and agreed. "Sure!"
Darryl walked over and untied Selina and the others. He giggled and said," Everyone,
follow me, and you'll find out the truth."
Immediately, Darryl walked out of the main hall and walked toward the ancestral hall.
The others stared at each other and quickly followed behind, fearing that Darryl would
escape.
'What?'
Quickly, they came to the entrance of the ancestral hall. Everyone, including Old Master
Stanford, Selina, and the others, were shocked when they saw what had happened.
They saw Herod and his people trapped in the ancestral hall, and all of them panicked.
Around them were some chairs arranged in a disorderly manner, but the mountain bandits
had no way out.
"What... What's happening?" "These people are not hurt, but why are they trapped there?"
"This is creepy." "This..."
At that moment, Selina's body trembled as she looked at Darryl in disbelief and at a loss
for words.
'What he said was true. These mountain bandits are really trapped, but...
How did he do that?'
For a moment, the entrance of the ancestral hall was in pin-drop silence with only the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhowling sound of Herod and the others.
"It's been so long. Why can't we get out of here?" "Damn it. I think we're being haunted..."
The people in the ancestral hall were utterly furious. Finally, after a few minutes, Old
Master Stanford was the first to collect his thoughts, and he looked at Darryl in disbelief.
"Derrick... What's going on?"
He could not believe that a gambler would be capable of trapping a bunch of mountain
bandits who were atrocious. 'There must be a secret behind it.'
Immediately, Selina and the others turned to Darryl, waiting for his answer.
"This..."
Darryl scratched his head and made up a lie as he could not tell them the truth.
"I don't know exactly why. Herod and his people came to ransack the ancestral hall, and it
turns out that they were unable to come out. I guess the ancestors of the Stanfords
manifested and punished these bad guys... Then, I brought the few mountain bandits who
were in the lobby."
He also bowed down to a few altars at the ancestral hall as he spoke.
Immediately, everyone exclaimed.
"So, that was what happened." "Looks like it was really Stanford ancestors manifesting."
"I knew it. How could a useless piece of trash like Derrick be so capable?"
