Darrin did indeed get hit by that punch. However, he was surprised by himself.

"Is this for real? Why don't I feel any pain at all?"

Not only did Darrin's body not collapse backward, Max's punch only made his face move slightly to the side.

"Max, stop! Enough of that! You don't need to do that again!"

Emily immediately grabbed Max's arm and pulled him as hard as she could away from Darrin.

Seeing what the girl did to Max, a slight feeling of dislike arose in Darrin's heart.

Moreover, although Max's punch didn't affect him, it still made Darrin angry.

Darrin immediately approached Max and grabbed his neck with one hand.

At this moment, with just one hand, Darrin was able to lift Max's body. Even though the rich young man weighed more than eighty kilograms.

"You want to solve everything with violence, right? Okay! I'll follow what you want!"

What Darrin showed made Max unable to say anything. Apart from trying to release Darrin's grip on his neck, he didn't say a word.

A young man who a week ago looked foolish and helpless now appeared to have changed into someone completely different!

Darrin clenched his fist, ready to hit Max.

"Darrin, what are you going to do?" Emily shouted beside him.

Her shout made Darrin pause for a moment.

"Darrin, I'm asking you, what are you going to do? Let him go!"

Emily not only shouted. She also shook Darrin's arms to make the young man release her future fiancé.

"Emily, why are you defending him? He's the one making your life miserable! Didn't you tell me that you didn't like him?"

"Who says so?"

Emily not only screamed hysterically. Her eyes were now starting to shed tears.

"I love him! I love Max!"

"Emily, you ..."

Emily's words left Darrin speechless. He truly didn't understand why Emily would say that.

Unconsciously, Darrin released his grip on Max's neck.

"I told you not to come near me again! I will be engaged to Max! And I agree to the engagement!"

Emily then took Max away from the place.

Darrin was increasingly unable to say anything.

"You're not really serious with your words, right?"

Emily ignored Darrin. She continued to walk away from the place while pulling Max's arm.

"I'm sorry again, Darrin! I have caused too much trouble in your life! I don't want to cause you any more trouble! Maybe this is all I can do to end it all!"

A few minutes later, they both arrived at the parking lot.

"Darling, wait inside!" Max said as he opened the car door and let Emily in.

After that, he went a bit away from the car and took out his phone from his pants pocket.

"Bring everyone and crush that guy!" Max shouted on the phone.

"Roger, Boss! We'll do it!" A loud and clear voice of a man on the other end was heard in his ears.

Meanwhile, Darrin was still sitting on the concrete steps in front of the library door.

"Emily has never scolded me or been harsh to me! Why did she suddenly act like that? Could it be that she has really fallen in love with that guy?"

However, after murmuring that sentence, Darrin immediately shook his head.

"No! No! Emily couldn't possibly like a guy like him!"

It's not that Darrin couldn't let go of Emily or let her have a relationship with another man.

It's just that he knew that a guy as bad as Max was never in Emily's heart, let alone considered as her fiancé.

"Maybe I should go to the office now!"

Darrin didn't want to think about that issue anymore for now.

Instead, he thought about going to the package delivery office where he worked and explaining to them why he hadn't shown up for the past week.

As Darrin walked out of the campus gate, without him realizing it, a pair of eyes watched him from afar.

"He's moving! Let's follow him immediately!"

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

  • Chapter 343 - Helena's Sacrifice

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

  • Chapter 342 - Finding the Vial

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

  • Chapter 341 - A Punch, Once Again

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

  • Chapter 340 - A Strike to Destroy the Vial

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye
