It was four o'clock in the morning when it began to drizzle, and Darryl gave in to sleep again. This time, he dreamt on and off throughout, and he vaguely felt someone kicking his leg.
He suddenly woke up and looked up to see Dax standing by the door staring down at him with a huge grin on his face.
"Darryl? Are you trying to make me laugh at you being my guard? Haha!" Dax laughed, rocking, rocking back and forth.
In this instant, Darryl's eyes watered as he tried his best to hold back his tears.
'He was alive. Dax was alive!' Darryl thought.
He jumped up right away and hugged Dax so tightly in his arms.
"Damn it. Why are you hugging me!" Dax said with a look of disgust, but he could not fight back the grin on his face. He punched Darryl's chest and laughed. "Right, I'm alive! Haha! I'm still alive! Hahaha!"
Darryl stared laughing too. The two men looked at each other without speaking as they kept on laughing.
Nobody would understand the bond between them. Its beauty was beyond words. Their laughter had woken Nancy and Old Master Sanders up as well. When they saw that Dax was alive, everyone was dancing in joy!
The villa was filled with cheer and excitement. The most uplifting news was that Dax was not only fully recovered, but his power had increased. He was not a Level Four Master General! This was because Dax had taken the Godly Pill not long ago, and after taking the Heart of the Ocean, he skipped three levels and became a Level Four Master General right away.
"Hahaha! Darryl, the pill you got me is a real babe!" Dax exclaimed with excitement as he removed his shirt and pointed at his chest. "After eating it, I'm not only three levels higher than I was, the wound and scar completely disappeared!"
Darryl laughed with joy as he reclined on the sofa. "That's because you've got really thick skin! Haha!"
"Damn you! You're the one with thick skin!" Dax refuted happily.
Ding!
Meanwhile, Darryl's phone lit up with an incoming call. He glanced at it and saw it was Megan calling. Once he picked up, he could hear Megan say "My good big brother, where are you?"
"What's up?"
Darryl knew that whenever Megan called him 'good big brother' she had a favor to ask. He knew her well enough by now.
Megan said softly "Good big brother, do you have a Godly Pill now?"
She had asked for it some time ago, but Darryl had not gotten back to her since then. She had no choice but to phone him.
"Meet me later, and I'll give it to you." Darryl said as he smiled.
Darryl was so happy that Dax made it through; he would agree to anything now.
Megan was excited, making her voice sound even sweeter. "That's great! Thank you, my good big brother!" She paused for a moment before asking "Oh yeah, my good big brother, could you... could you give me one more?"
'Huh? One more? Does she think I'm a pill supplier now and that I can supply however much she asks for?' Darryl thought.
Although it was not too difficult to refine a Godly Pill, it did take some time and effort. Most importantly, giving Megan one pill for free was alright, but giving her a few pills at once was quite unfair to the others. What if her relatives come running to him for the pills in the future?
Darryl smiled. "Why do you need so many for?"
Megan explained honestly "My good big brother, listen to me. My master, the Abbess Mother Serendipity, needs the Godly Pill badly. She's been stuck as a Level Five Martial Marquis for a very long time. The bottleneck has been keeping her from becoming a Martial Saint!"
'Huh!? Her master was... who?!' a loud buzz overwhelmed Darryl's ears.
Since he did not respond, Megan continued to beg him. "My good big brother, if you can give me the Godly Pill and help my master breakthrough, she'll be forever grateful! I'll be so thankful for you!"
