What? Level Five Martial Marquis? He was as powerful as Abbess Mother Serendipity!
Darryl could not help but swallow hard. He was such a powerful man. If Darryl ever met him, he would not be able to pull any tricks on him.
BAM!
Suddenly, the porcelain pot exploded. The Elixir’s scent wafted through the air as six Resumption pills fell into Darryl’s hands.
Katherine looked at the six pills in disbelief, trembling with excitement.
“Miss Katherine, this pill is for you.” Darryl smiled. He gave her one pill and said, “This pill can help you level up two ranks.”
Katherine swallowed the pill without any hesitation. Suddenly, she shuddered as she felt her powers return. She was now a Level Two Master!
It worked! Katherine was delighted.
“Darryl, let me have the other five pills,” she pleaded.
Darryl laughed but did not hand her the pills. He kept them instead.
“Darryl… What are you doing?” She stomped her feet, feeling panicked.
Darryl replied calmly, “Miss Katherine, what’s the hurry? You could only take one pill per day. It won’t work even if you had more than one. You need at least 24 hours before you could take the next pill. Even if I gave them to you now, it would be pointless!”
Darryl smirked. “I understand how you feel,” he reassured. “Don’t worry, it’ll be with me for safekeeping.”
What? Only one per day? That meant Katherine would have to wait six days for her powers to be restored. She would have to listen to Darryl for a few days.
Katherine bit her lip so hard, it almost bled.
“Ouch, my shoulders are sore. Don’t stop,” Darryl complained. He sat down on the couch.
Katherine walked over and massaged his shoulders.
When school ended, Darryl left Katherine’s office. He found out Lily was waiting for him at the entrance. When she saw him, she gave him a huge hug. After all, her husband ran fifty laps around the field because of her.
When they reached home, Lily prepared dinner and watched TV together with Darryl.
After the incident with Xavier King, Darryl clearly felt a change in Lily’s attitude towards him. She was more gentle and slightly more dependent on him.
The next few days were the happiest throughout their three years of marriage.
However, nothing good lasted forever.
One day, when Darryl and Lily came home, they were stunned.
A girl—roughly eighteen or nineteen years old — was sitting on the sofa. She looked adorable and pretty. She had a lollipop in her mouth while she watched TV.
