Ford turned and left after he said that.
Darryl sighed when the old man left.
Sh*t. That man was really strong; he could barely breathe after that fight.
“Jewel, you said that Ford is very powerful, so why is he trapped at such a place?” Darryl asked.
Jewel’s face was full of doubts, too; she shook her head. “I am not sure, but he is very famous. There are still a lot of rumors about him now. I am guessing he is trapped here because of his leg.”
As she spoke, Jewel’s eyes looked into the pond, ” Master, let’s grill some fish.”
Darryl nodded, and with the Blood-Drinking Sword in his hand, he jumped into the pond before he returned with a few fishes.
Jewel clapped happily and set a fire by the pond to grill them.
Jewel had some salt and seasoning with her, and she could cook well too. Soon, the grilled fish’s smell covered the area, and Darryl was very hungry.
After she was done with the first fish, Jewel gave it to Darryl with a smile. “Master, please try my cooking.”
Darryl smiled as he took the grilled fish. He took a bite, and he was impressed by the fish’s freshness. He nodded as he complimented her cooking. “Very nice, it is very nice.”
Apart from her obedience, he did not expect Jewel to be a good cook.
Jewel was delighted with the compliments. ” Master, I can grill fish for you every day or for as long as you want to eat it.
As she said that, Jewel looked behind Darryl and was shocked.
Darryl turned around to see a man behind him.
It was Ford, and he stared longingly at the grilled fish.
“You grilled these?” Ford asked as he looked at Jewel. He got even more emotional as he walked closer to the fire. He took a deep breath, and he seemed to enjoy it.
“Nice! The grilled fish smelled nice. How interesting,” Ford said as he stared at the fish. Then he gulped as he continued to look at the food.
