Darrin continued to stare at the Dark Knight, the shock still lingering on his face. What he saw in the cold, stern expression of the old man matched exactly what he had suspected. This was not someone who indulged in pleasantries, let alone someone who tolerated disappointment.If anyone dared to do the latter, they would have to be prepared for severe punishment from him.“Just because he failed in his task, you’re going to kill him?” Darrin couldn’t hold back his shock any longer. If he were to be honest with himself, he had never expected this armored man to give him such an order.“Yes, and if I wish it, what’s the problem?” Behind the steel helmet, the Dark Knight’s voice remained calm, just as it had been before. “Besides, when he agreed to join the Circle of the Heavenly Kingdom, he should have prepared himself as best as possible not to fail.”At the same time, the conversation between Darrin and the Dark Knight jolted Claus out of the shock that had consumed him. Without fur

“How dare you!” Venus shouted furiously. “How dare you lay your filthy hand on my shoulder! Remove it immediately!”One thing that Darrin might not know about the Heavenly Kingdom Circle is that besides the fact that almost all its members are girls with extraordinary abilities, they are all virgins. Not only have they never been alone with a man, but each one of them has never even touched a man.Therefore, what Darrin did not only enraged Venus, but also the other two girls who were now glaring at him with fury.“As you wish!” Darrin said softly. However, it was clear from the look in his eyes that he was determined not to let them take Lily.Instead of lifting his hand from Venus’ shoulder, he tightened his grip and threw her aside.Swing!Venus, who hadn’t expected Darrin to dare do such a thing, didn’t have time to react. What shocked her even more was that the young man’s inner strength wasn’t as weak as she had assumed. The girl, dressed in black like a ninja, could only let he

Not only did Darrin appear to be completely unharmed, but he also seemed to be completely unaffected by the clash of two high-level techniques, unlike what happened to Athena. On the contrary, his body now radiated an even stronger aura than before. With slow but charismatic steps, he approached the girls.“I don’t want to prolong this matter with you, considering there has never been any issue between us. I’ll go my way, and you can go yours. As for what happened between me and the Dark Knight, I’ll handle it myself.”As Darrin stated, he indeed had no intention of continuing this fight. His only reason for attacking them was to rescue Lily. Since the girl now seemed safe, there was nothing more he needed to do to them.“Damn it!” Athena growled, clenching her fists. Darrin’s words seemed to enrage her.Athena was known as one of the war goddesses among the royal soldiers of Arcadia. She would lead large armies into battle against the soldiers of other kingdoms. Not only was she incr

“Sister, we need to leave now. We have to get Athena to the palace immediately.” Aphrodite’s worry for their youngest sister was evident.The blood flowing from the youngest girl’s mouth might have lessened, but Aphrodite could feel through her palm that her sister’s heartbeat was growing weaker and weaker. The girl's body was beginning to feel cold, and her face was turning extremely pale.Aphrodite had poured as much of her inner energy as she could, but her sister's condition only grew more concerning.“Sister, we can’t wait any longer! She’s getting worse!” Aphrodite urged her elder sister.“No! We can’t leave!” Venus, although not as panicked as her younger sister, still had clear signs of worry and confusion on her beautiful face. She had channeled a great deal of her inner energy into their youngest sister’s body. Yet instead of improving, it seemed to only worsen her condition.Neither Venus nor Aphrodite had ever dealt with anything like this before. They were among the fines

Aphrodite looked at Darrin with increasing impatience. Is that really the condition you're proposing? Of course, we’ll accept it!Without needing to think twice, she knew that this condition was clearly very favorable for the girls. So why should she refuse? Besides, among the three girls, Aphrodite had the gentlest nature, making her more inclined to agree to any terms that would quickly help her youngest sister.However, Aphrodite didn’t immediately voice her thoughts because Venus was there. As long as their eldest sister was with them, she would be the one to make the decision. Aphrodite looked at her older sister, hoping that what she would say to Darrin would align with her own thoughts.Venus observed Darrin for a moment, appearing to be deep in thought. This 23-year-old girl knew that the young man was only one or two years younger than her. Even so, his intelligence seemed to far surpass his age.She understood that with such a condition, Darrin would undoubtedly benefit grea
