They were people of high social status, including Brandon Guy, Abby Guy, Abbess Mother Serendipity, and each family's elders.
"Dad..."
Drake Darby knelt by the bed, sobbing. He held Old Master Darby's hand. He choked "Dad, wake up..."
Drake was hit hard by his father's passing. The expressions of everyone around him were equally somber.
Drake turned to Florian behind him and asked "What happened? Wasn't he still in good condition earlier when we left the hospital? Why did he pass away suddenly?"
All eyes were on Florian Darby.
He panicked and had a guilty conscience. He struggled to find the words to say as he stuttered "I... I don't know. He just..."
Yumi stood up and shrieked in anguish. "It was Darryl! He was the one that killed our grandfather! When you left, Old Master Darby clutched his heart, wheezing while muttering how much of a disappointment Darryl was! How Darryl was greedy, and that he committed incest!"
Yumi acted out the scene as if it happened. She clutched her heart tightly and choked "Both of us were scared to death when we tried to comfort Grandpa. We were about to call the nurse when he..." She started to cry.
At the same time, she gave Florian a side-eye. How did she end up married to this loser? He could not even lie with a straight face in times of need. He almost exposed himself.
Florian did not notice Yumi's glares. He nodded in support "Yes! It was exactly like that!" He secretly let out a sigh of relief. His wife's acting skills were superb. If it were not for her, he would not have known what to do.
Everyone in the room gaspes, starting heated discussions among themselves.
How evil was Darryl that he committed patricide, killing his grandfather?
"Darryl!" Drake yelled through gritted teeth. He clenched his fist tightly, but no words came out. If he knew, he should not have asked Darryl to visit Old Master Darby!
SLAM!
Abbess Mother Serendipity punched the table and stood up.
"Not Darryl Darby again!" she screamed. "This filthy animal committed incest. He refused to donate his bone marrow to save Old Master Darby, and now he's angered him to death! This pest should be eliminated once and for all!" The Abbess trembled. Her Internal Energy reverberated throughout the entire patient ward.
It was such a strong aura that eeryone gasped. She was extraordinarily powerful!
The entire ward fell quiet for a while.
"Abbess Mother Serendipity is right." Someone broke the silence. "A failure like Darryl should not be allowed to continue to live on this earth."
The others came to their senses and nodded in agreement.
"Abbess Mother Serendipity is fighting evil. She is such a heroine!"
"Such is the power of the Emei Sect! Their reputation precedes them!"
Everyone sang their praises. A few Emei Sect followers beamed in pride.
