Swoosh!
Everyone looked at Lucas in shock.
He had hit Darryl and made him pass out?
“I—”
Lucas panicked as he felt their gazes on him. However, he snapped back to his senses and sneered at Darryl. “You
sure know how to make up stories. You’re the Elysium Gate’s Sect Master and the Westrington Emperor; how could
I make you pass out so easily? Don’t try to push the responsibility on me.”
Then, Lucas said, “Darryl, you’re an influential figure, yet you would not admit your mistakes. How can you call
yourself a man?”
‘F*ck!’
Darryl was furious when Lucas twisted the truth. However, he did not have any evidence, so he did not know how to
explain himself.

When he saw Darryl was silent, Lucas felt proud. He sneered at the man. “I see that you’re speechless—must be
your guilty conscience.”
Woo!
Darryl took a deep breath and did not bother to talk to him. Instead, he turned to look at Jacob and said, “Manor
Master Jacob, I did not know what happened that night. However, I can swear it with my reputation. Miss Parker and
I are friends. I would never do such a thing to her.”
“Hmm—”
Jacob’s stern expression relaxed a little. He nodded and said, “Naturally, I believe Master Darby. I find this entire
incident a little fishy. It looks like I will have to investigate it properly.”
As the Famed Sword Manor’s Manor Master, Jacob was an experienced cultivator. Even though he had only known
Darryl for a short time, he knew that Darryl was not that kind of person.
“Uncle!”
Lucas got anxious. He yelled, “Darryl is not what he seems to be! He may seem like a nice person, but he is a
despicable person. How can you trust his words?”
At that moment, Lucas was extremely nervous.
He had orchestrated the entire incident. How could he let Jacob investigate it?
Lucas pointed at Darryl in panic and said, “That man is lustful and bold. I wonder how many innocent women he has
hurt!”
Then, Lucas turned to look at Jackie and said, “Look! This woman’s clothes are in disarray. Darryl must have
captured her with his dirty tactics.”
Lucas was cunning. He knew that no one would believe Darryl without proof. So, he pulled Jackie into that.
After all, Jackie seemed haggard; it looked like she was held captive by Darryl.
Lucas did not recognize the beautiful woman as the person who could decide whether he lived or died—the Illusion
Sound Sect’s Sect Master. Even though Lucas was a sect member, he had only seen her dressed as a man. They
did not know that she was a woman.

At that moment, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar as many looked at Jackie.
“Yes, Master Lucas’s words make sense!”
“This woman is in such a wretched state; she must be Darryl’s captive!”
“Who knew that Darryl was such a person? I admired him so much previously—”
The crowd discussed amongst themselves; they were convinced that Jackie was held captive by Darryl and that he
wanted to defile her.
Darryl smiled but said nothing.
Swoosh!
Jackie trembled and glared at Lucas; she was embarrassed and furious.
‘Lucas is such an idiot! How dare he say that I’m Darryl’s hostage? How can I have such a stupid sect member?’
At that moment, Jackie wanted to kill Lucas so badly, but she held herself back.
Her internal energy was completely depleted. Also, she had led the Illusion Sound Sect disciples to attack the
Famed Sword Manor previously. If they knew who she was, they would not let her go so easily.
