Chapter 2565
Upon hearing Darryl's voice, Natalie was completely overwhelmed with joy. ''Thank god, I thought...''
Before she could finish, Darryl shook his head secretively to stop her. In truth, Darryl felt that it was
not time yet for him to reveal his true identity. ''It's been three years, have you been well?'' he asked
in a calm tone.
Natalie nodded before replying respectfully. ''Yes, ever since we signed the peace treaty with the
Nine Continents, I've settled here with my people. The past three years have been peaceful and our
relationship with the Nine Continents is rather harmonious,'' she paused for a split second before
finally adding, ''thank you.''
Natalie used to be the fearless martial goddess of the Raksasa Tribe. But having gone through the
war three years ago, she had matured into a woman of reason. Darryl once had her captured which
was one of the most humiliating moments in her entire life. Even so, Natalie harbored no hatred
towards the man. Instead, she was nothing but grateful, knowing that the Nine Continents wouldn't
have been able to make peace with the Raksasa Tribe, had it not been for what Darryl did. It was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthardly an exaggeration to say that the years of peacefulness and prosperity the Raksasa
Tribe had been because of him.
Her words were overheard by Jack, who couldn't help but stepped closer in curiosity. 'What? The queen, is she
thanking this brat? Just...who is he, really?' Jack thought, as he widened his eyes in awe and looked at Darryl
with conflicts raging within him.
For a woman like Natalie to become queen despite countless formidable competitors in the Raksasa Tribe was
unheard of in history, but she had somehow managed to gain the respect of every single member of their
community with her incomparable talent that was proven through three years of lea dership. To the Raksasa
Tribe, Natalie was a god-like existence that not only represented the queen, but also the spiritual pillar that
supported the entire tribe. Who could believe that the all-mighty queen would be so deferential to an
insignificant bodyguard from the Nine Continents, if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes? And for her to
go as far as to
thank him?
'I must be hallucinating.' Jack stood frozen in place, desperately trying to convince himself over and over again
that what he was seeing was not real.
The Raksasa soldiers around them, on the other hand, were in an uproar.
''Did...did the queen just thank him?''
''You have got to be
kidding me, who is that
kid?'' ''What the...am I
dreaming?''
The merchants from all across the Nine Continents, too, were in awe. They stared at Darryl with eyes so wide that
it looked as though they would pop out any minute. Before them was a scene where the prideful Raksasa queen
with beauty that rivaled that of an angel stood respectfully in front of Darryl, like a daughter would before her
father.
Deafening noises from the discussion that erupted around them didn't seem to bother Darryl. He kept his eyes
steady on Natalie and nodded with a gentle smile. ''Good, I'm glad to know that the Raksasa Tribe have found
the way to let go of the hatred that had accumulated for over thousands of years, and co-exist with people of
the Nine Continents.''
Natalie beamed at Darryl's approval, her heart leaped with joy knowing that she did not disappoint

''May I know what happened earlier?''
''Your subordinate was bending the rules to his advantage. You're going to have to check with him for
details,'' Darryl replied before walking over to a chair next to him and sitting down on it leisurely. Now
that Natalie was there, there was no need for him to get involved any longer. Instantly,
embarrassment filled her delicate face. She slowly turned around to face Jack with a piercing glare,
''What happened, Jack?'' Though her tone remained calm without revealing any emotion, the aura she
emitted was undeniably overpowering.
Noticing the danger hidden behind her eyes, Jack couldn't help but feel anxious and uneasy. He took
a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself before explaining with caution, ''This kid from the Nine
Continents was causing trouble here on purpose by trying to break the newest rule I've implemented,
and so I was just about to teach him a lesson for it.'' Jack was no fool, he realized that the queen and
Darryl were close acquaintances, but regardless of their relationship, he was still her most trusted
subordinate. Besides, he did what he did for the benefit of the Raksasa Tribe, so he shouldn't concern
himself with the consequences.
''What did you just say...?'' Displeased, Natalie asked, ''You, were about to teach him a lesson?''
