The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 93

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 93 – Amid the panic, Darryl wanted to cultivate his Inner Force. However, the effect of the powder he inhaled before was too strong, his strength had not recovered.

Darryl was in despair. His palm was being forced open, one of the men lifted a knife. The man was about to swing the knife down when Skyler howled, “F*ck, Stop!”

The man stopped in mid-air. He looked confused but took a step back nevertheless.

Skyler immediately walked toward Darryl and took a good look at the ring on Darryl’s left thumb. “Where did you get this thumb ring from?” he exclaimed.

Skyler could not suppress the agitation in his heart. He was familiar with this black and white jade ring, it is the symbol of one of the Six Orthodox Sects and Clans—The Tianshan.

Though Tianshan might belong to one of the Six and was considered a respectable clan, they—like the Grandmaster Heaven Cult—are more morally ambiguous. Furthermore, those in the higher order of the cult know that Tianshan and Grandmaster Heaven have an alliance with each other.

A few years earlier, the masters of both sects met up privately. They hit it off right away. It was due to Tianshan’s help, that the Six can’t fend off Grandmaster Heaven like they used to. Such is their relationship that one can’t live without the other.

The Tianshan also had a strict sense of hierarchy. Below the Sect Master, there were Four Kings: The East, West, South, and North King.

The ring on Darryl was the East King’s symbol, also the embodiment of his identity!

The East King, only one rank below the Sect Master!

Skyler—as the Head of Branch—was not considered high up in the order of hierarchy, since there are close to a thousand branches! Although Skylar had never met East King before, he is confident that that is the symbol of East King.

Darryl noticed the change in Skyler’s tone. Although he still could not grasp the situation, he could roughly take a guess.

“The ring belongs to me,” said Darryl calmly, while observing Skyler’s reaction.

Skyler quivered. He was about to bow when Darryl stopped him with a look.

’No matter who Skyler thinks I am; it clearly has to do with the ring. After all, I’m a fake—if I make it too widely known, I might blow my cover.’ thought Darryl.

“Don’t bow, I want to keep a low profile,” said Darryl silently.

Skyler nodded fervently. ’This man is obviously Tianshan’s East King. He does not want to blow his cover, must be going through a secret investigation or something. I must not stand in his way,  thought Skyler.

Skyler immediately instructed two of his men to escort Darryl to the main hall.

At the sight of Darryl leaving, Kent interrupted, “Hey! What’s happening? I’ve bid thirty million, let me go!”

Skyler gave Kent a d***h stare. The force was so strong Kent zipped up instantly.

Skyler followed through as Darryl entered the main hall.

“Lord East King, your servant Skyler Burr at your service,” bowed Skyler. He continued awkwardly, “I’ m extremely sorry for the misunderstanding. I almost made a huge mistake. I hope my lord won’t take offense. Please forgive me.”

‘Lord East King? Is this a rank in Grandmaster Heaven, and it’s a higher level than Skyler Burr? Wait a second. This ring belongs to Brandon. Isn’t he from the Tianshan sect? Why is Skyler being polite to me?’ Darryl ruminated. He still has no clue as to the relationship between Grandmaster Heaven Cult and the Tianshan sect.

He simply waved his hand and replied, “Forget about it. You did not know what was going on.”
