The first pill was Yang Pill which Evelyn needed while the remaining two were Mixture Pill and Blooming Pill made from those extra ingredients Darryl picked earlier. Those two pills were rare and special. As Darryl happily kept them in his pocket, he suddenly felt a strong presence behind him, and instinctively turned only to be shocked by what he saw.
A short bald monk of around 1.5m was walking toward him. He exuded an oppressive temperament air while a black Scorpio was tattooed on his bald head.
Damn it, a tattoo on his skull!? Although it seemed rather foolish, it was no doubt very intimidating but the most intimidating part was the aura he exuded. He was not an ordinary man.
"Who are you?" Darryl asked after staring at him for a few seconds.
The man was obviously a high ranking cultivator. Was he perhaps Circe's security guard? However, wasn't it rather unlikely to hire a monk as a guard?
The monk did not respond as he marched toward Darryl. He stopped in front of him, without uttering a word, and instantly pressed an acupoint on Darryl.
Darryl was caught off guard. He wanted to flinch but was too slow to reach and instantly rendered immobile from his pressed acupoint.
Damn it!
Darryl stared at the monk both terrified and angry "Wait, who are you? I didn't offend you?"
This monk was so powerful and must at least be a Martial Marquis!
The mon did not respond as he pressed on Darryl's acupoint again to shut him up. He swiftly and effortlessly carried him before jumping out of the villa with both of them disappearing at the blink of an eye.
By the poolside.
It had been more than two hours as Evelyn sat on the chair and pouted "Circe, are you sure that dude knows how to refine a pill? He must have lied to you!"
Evelyn still did not trust that Darryl could refine the pill. After Darryl saw her naked on the video call, Evelyn had asked her men to investigate his backgroud and found that her was just a famous live-in son-in-law in Donghai City. How could a live-in son-in-law refine pills?
The ladies nodded with laughter upon saying that.
"Yeah, Circe. He must have lied to you. I bet he saw that you're pretty and wanted to get close to you. That's why he lied to you claiming he knows how to refine pills."
"It's been so long, he probably ran away."
Circe shook her head. "Nah, he won't lie to me. He took part in the Elixir Competition and really knows how to refine pills."
"Oh Circe, perhaps he can refine some cheap and entry-level pills, but definitely not this."
"Yeah, even members of the Elixir Association couldn't make this Yang Pill. How could he know? He must have lied in order to get close to you."
Circe smiled upon listening to their speculations. "You girls are overthinking. Why don't we go and check the backyard if you don't believe me?"
Circe led the girls to the pavilion in the backyard upon saying that.
However, the pavilion was empty without any traces of Darryl despite those flames under the pot still burning.
Circe trembled at the sight as her brows furrowed while covering her mouth in shock. Did Darryl run away?
The ladies looked at each other with a knowing smile. "Circe, it looks like we are right! He doesn't know how to refine pills and lie to you! Don't trust these people next time. Men are not trustworthy!"
"What a douche!" Evelyn scowled with an embarrassed glare.
'This douche not only lied to me but also Circe! I won't let it go.'
