Chapter 5932 "What's up?" Darryl chuckled at the dazed look on Avalon's face. "Hello, earth to Avalon!" Avalon returned to her senses at last. She hopped onto the sofa, stretching out and saying proudly, "Oh, I'm just grateful to have been taken in by the great Darryl Darby!" Darryl could not help but chuckle at the mischievous look on her face. "Enough of that! Someone will be bringing you food in a bit. You can get srest if you get tired, alright? I'm going to see an old friend." "Okay! You don't have to worry about me. I'll be just fine." Darryl smiled, nagging for a while longer before he walked out of the room.
Half an hour later, a private jet landed in the Valencia City airport carrying none other than Felix Blakely. Felix was not in Valencia City when Darryl had called but had rushed over at once.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis sudden visit had shaken the town, and all of the city's richest and most powerful families cat once to visit, but Felix had turned all of them down.
Over at a private club in Valencia City.
Felix sat in the biggest room, all smiles and emotion, as Darryl lay sprawled on the couch next to him.
"Brother Darryl!" Felix was all smiles, sighing as he said, "It's been so long, and you have not gotten the slightest bit less cool, have you? Have a drink withfor old time's sake, won't you?" Alright! Darryl nodded with a smile. "I can have a few drinks, but not too many. I've still got a trip to go on early tomorrow." Felix was beside himself with emotion. It was important to note that drinking with Darryl was a rare opportunity, and he called out to a server at once to have them fetch the most prized bottle of liquor for them as well as sfood. The table was filled in no time, and the pair began to wine and dine amidst their chatter.
Darryl's stories of the past few years had Felix in a trance, and he could not help but exclaim, "Gosh, you really are a legend, Brother Darry." Following that, his gaze flashed wistfully. "If it weren't for all these businesses I'm now in charge of, I'd want to go wandering again too." Darryl chuckled. "You're not too bad yourself! Look at you. You've got businesses all over the Nine Continents!" A thought cto Felix then, and he scratched his head. "I've been paying attention to the wandering world in the past few years. What do you think of the Lange wedding happening in a month, Brother Darryl?" The Langes? Darryl stopped short at the words. "Who's getting married?" "Circe Lange! Didn't you know?" Felix gulped from his glass, his eyes flashing playfully. "That girl you went to the Hexad School with! The really pretty one." "If you powerful and handsas Brother Darryl would deserve a beauty like that. But heard that she's going to be marrying snobody by the nof Beka or something... They just sent out wedding invitations, which had the entire wandering world shaken." ask me, only someone as Beka...
Darryl could not help but frown to himself at the mention of the name.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Wasn't he that young man that just joined the Langes? How had he managed to steal Circe's heart so quickly...' Darryl was far from jealous of the situation as he had plenty of women by his side. He just felt that there was something off about the wedding. Yet he did not give it much thought and continued to chat with Felix.
The catch-up ended up lasting a good few hours, and it was past midnight when Darryl returned to the hotel.
Creak!
He entered the room, only to see the bedroom door ajar and Avalon m emerging from it rubbing her eyes. Darryl stopped short. "Why aren't you in bed yet?" An unreadable expression flashed across Avalon's features. "My... my legs were cold, and so I ran around ve for adittle while to warm them up." Cold legs? Darry frowned to himself at the words. How was she getting cold legs at such a young age?
At the thought, Darryl strode over. "Chere. Lettake a look at! that." He squatted in front of Avalon, beginning to inspect her leg.
He could clearly see then that there was a deep green tint to her legs They were icy to the touch, cold to dow the En the bone. Just around her knee, Darryl could clearly see a faint scar.
Oh my... she had been bitten by an Ice Ring Snake.
