Chapter 5700 As he spoke, Prince Auten rushed forward, held Master Jade's body in his arms, and cried, "Sect Master, don't frighten me. Wake up, wake up!" He sobbed, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Prince Auten was a cunning man. He was well aware that if he came up to blame Darryl like Wolfgang, he would undoubtedly be suspected, so he pretended to be unaware of the situation.
Prince Auten delivered an excellent performance. The other disciples’ hearts grew heavier as they saw his sad face.
Darryl and Jewel both sighed, dejected.
"Sect Master Darby!" After crying for a while, Prince Auten looked up at Darryl and asked, "What's going on? What happened to Sect Master?" Alas! Darryl sighed and said, "Master Jade was poisoned. It happened too suddenly. I wanted to save him, but it was too late." Then he told Auten what had happened in detail.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarryl did not know that Graham was Prince Auten, and what had just happened was all his doing.
Prince Auten nodded in silence.
"Graham!" Wolfgang, who was standing nearby, shouted in grief and anger, "Darryl is a hypocrite. Don't believe him. He is the murderer. He killed Sect Master." All the other disciples nodded in agreement.
That Wolfgang was not bad.
Prince Auten could not help but feel excited when he heard that. He could save himself a lot of trouble if he had such a person.
However, Prince Auten pretended to be unhappy. He stood up and scolded Wolfgang, "Sect Master Darby is a hero in the Nine Mainland. He is an upright man. How could he do such a shameless thing?" Prince Auten looked around him and
said, "We must be missing something." { Darryl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were some reasonable members in the sect.
Then, Darryl said to Prince Auten, 4] also feel sorry for Master Jade's death.
Don't worry. I will find out the truth." Prince Auten smiled bitterly, looked at Darryl, and said, "Sect Master Darby, 1 respect you very much. I also believe you won't hurt our sect master, but..." Prince Auten changed the subject and said, "When Sect Master got into trouble, only you and that girl were here, and Beka had gone missing.
Please cooperate and stay in the Wudang Mountains for now. We will
prove your innocence once we find the true murderer." \ His words made sense and could not be refuted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPrince Auten knew that Darryl could not stay in Wudang Mountains for a long time, so he deliberately said so to prevent Darryl from leaving too soon.
Darryl was taken aback for a moment when he heard that. He smiled bitterly and said, "Something happened to Master Jade in front of me. I am willing to stay in the sect to help with the investigation, but Jewel must leave." Ambrose and Heather were still on Dragon King Island. He did not know what was going on. Since he could not leave, he decided to let Jewel go.
Sect Master Darby!" prince Auten shook his head and said solemnly, "I'm sorry that 1 can't agree with that. You two are suspects. No one can leave." Darryl frowned and did not respond.
Jewel asked, "what do you mean? Darryl promised that he wouldn't leave. Do you still want to imprison us here?" Jewel wanted to stay with Darryl, but she knew he was worried about Ambrose and Heather.
Prince Auten ignored Jewel's complaints.
Darryl thought for a while, looked at Prince Auten, and said, "What if insist on letting her go?"
That was precisely what Prince Auten was waiting for. His face darkened.
"Since you won't cooperate, I have nothing to say." Then Prince Auten looked around and said coldly, "Take them down." Prince Auten left the stone dungeon with Master Jade's body in his arms.
Wolfgang and the other disciples drew their swords and rushed toward the two.
