Ophelia glanced at Darryl before continuing. "If there are any grudges between both of you, consider settling it in private."
As the Chairlady of the Jiangnan Elixir Association, she could not allow such an incident to happen.
Ophelia used her fingers and gently flick the blade upon finishing her words.
Ding!
A sharp ringing reverberated from the sword as Abbess Mother Serendipity felt a wave of energy against her and could barely hold onto the longsword before staggered a few steps backward.
"Miss Lane, Darryl is a horrible person. He violated his sister-in-law and was even kicked out of his family. How could such a man have the right to stand atop this battle stage?" Abbess Mother Serendipity exclaimed in anger.
The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing her words! They started judging and berating Darryl!
"I can't believe this live-in son-in-law is such a person."
"Is this even something a human will do?"
At that moment, Kent could not hodl back his laughter. "It seems Darryl indulges himself in such acts even to the extent of laying his hand on his own sister-in-law, tsk."
Megan speechlessly bit her lip tightly. She believed Darryl was not that kind of person. However, Abbess Mother Serendipity announced it during such an occasion. How could it be false?
Darryl's expression was flushed with anger as he stood on the stage.
Abbess Mother Serendipity was not aware of the truth, and yet she dared take matters into her own hands without understanding anything!?
Darryl stepped forward and coldly said "Abbess Mother Serendipity, I'm telling you right now that I've never done such a thing."
He still dared argue! Abbess Mother Serendipity's chest trembled with rage. Old Master Darby had said it himself that Darryl violated Rebecca. How could it be untrue?
'This brat doesn't have the guts to admit to his own actions. Is he even a man?' Abbess Mother Serendipity thought.
Ophelia could not help but stare at Darryl for a moment. "Abbess Mother Serendipity, his action truly violated the code of the martial arts world, but we're still in the middle of a competition. Perhaps you should calm down."
Ophelia looked at Darryl and said "Come with me."
She slowly walked down the battle stage with Darryl following behind her.
They walked to the backstage where Ophelia halted her steps and turned herself toward Darryl. "Are you interested in visiting the Elixir Association?"
Truth be told, Ophelia was a marvelous beauty.
She was simply flawless from every perspective upon seeing her from such a close distance. She was tall, slim, had slender legs, and an exquisite face. There was not even one imperfection on her.
Her maturity was simply alluring with the addition of her slightly curled long hair.
However, Darryl's expression remained indifferent and without a second thought said "I'm not interested."
'What's the use of such beauty? You're supposed to be the Elixir Association's Chairlady. There was nothing wrong with the Heavenly Restoration Pill that I refined, but you determined I was unsuccessful simply because the color was incorrect.' thought Darryl.
Darryl felt that his thoughts and Ophelia's interest were not aligned. Naturally, he would not be interested.
'Not interested?'
Ophelia furrowed her eyebrows as she found it funny. Countless people would like to get close to her because she was the Elixir Association's Chairlady.
An invitation from Ophelia would not just happen to anyone even in their wildest of dreams.
However, Darryl rejected it so willingly.
How interesting.
Ophelia curiously asked "Why don't you wanna go?"
Darryl bluntly replied "There is nothing wrong with the Heavenly Restoration Pill which I refined and yet you said I've failed. As such, I'm not interested in you or your so-called Elixir Association."
