Never in Samantha’s wildest dreams could she imagine that the expected son-in-law in her mind would do such a thing! Samantha and Lily were both tied up.

“Hush,” said Ashton as he placed his finger on his lips as a motion of silence. “Stop shouting, no one can hear you even if you shout till your throat is broken. My house’s walls’ thickness is three times the average. Save your energy,” Ashton said as he beamed.

Samantha clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were red. “Ashton, don’t be rash, you’re a talented young man with a bright future, don’t ruin it!”

“Shut up!” Ashton strode toward Samantha, grabbed her hair, and shouted. “Ruin my future? Let me be honest with you, my future is already gone! I fought and struggled for my business for 10 years, and just as I’ve gotten some achievements, the Darby clan kicked me out of the company!”

“What… What did you say?” Lily was shocked. “They chased you

    Hehe!The so-called Emperor Aurelias was stunned when he heard what Darryl said, but then he smiled and said, "No wonder you are the Royal Master." It is no surprise that Prince Aurin once held you in such high regard. You could immediately tell what was going on. Amazing!"Then, he raised his hands and wiped his face, showing his true identity.It was Magaera.Bloody hell!When Darryl saw Magaera, he was instantly stunned. "How did you come out from the chaotic void?"At that moment, Darryl was genuinely shocked. He correctly guessed that Emperor Aurelias in front of him was an imposter.

"If you could trap me in the chaotic void so easily, how could I even be a Lord General?"Darryl took a deep breath and gradually calmed down after hearing what Magaera said.The next second, Darryl said,

"If you want to go up against Emperor Aurelias, you have to get help from someone.""Who?" Empress Heidi asked quickly.Magaera had a look of complexity. He said, "Darryl Darby!"What?"Empress Heidi initially thought that Magaera would mention some Immortal's name. She never expected that he would say Darryl's name. She was instantly baffled.

    Crash!When the surrounding Imperial Sky Palace guards heard the commotion, they rushed over.They were immediately enraged when they saw Magaera in mid-air."It's the Lord General.""What is he doing? Is he challenging His Majesty?"While the palace guards were conversing, a beam of golden light rushed forth from the Imperial Sky Palace, colliding with Magaera in mid-air.A figure draped in a golden dragon robe emitted a powerful aura of command and arrogance. It was Emperor Aurelias."Magaera?" When he saw Magaera, Emperor Aurelias's expression did not change. He said calmly, "I thought you were still stuck in the chaotic void. I didn't think that you would safely return. Not bad."There are now a thousand things to do in the Godly Region. I need just the right man to assist me."Emperor Aurelias thought that Magaera was there to help him.Magaera sneered, not showing him any respect. "Assist?
