The Ultimate Husband

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 94 – Darryl secretly scanned his surroundings.

He realized that the decor here is much more intricate than the rest. This must be their resting area.

As if right on cue, Darryl’s stomach growled. He did not eat much at the Oriental Pearl, only had a few

cups of tea. He felt a little embarrassed.

Skyler was an observant man. He chuckled, “My lord, please wait a while. I’ll get my men to prepare

some food and wine. We’ll drink till we drop! Haha! By the way, Lord East King, after drinking we can

each take turns on that Megan Castello. She’s really attractive! Haha!”

“Right, right,” dismissed Darryl.

As Skyler left, Darryl realized that it is a good time to walk around, to attempt to locate the exit. The

guards did not stop Darryl as left the room but bowed to him. Darryl got bolder, but to not create any

suspicion, he did not return to the main hall— he followed the tunnels, exploring while contemplating his

next step. How is he going to rescue Megan once he finds the exit?

Darryl realized he stumbled into a restricted area.

The restricted area is a huge chamber, with no men guarding the entrance. However, there is a sign

saying, “Not to enter without permission”. Without any thought, Darryl stepped inside.

In the middle of the chamber lies a wooden shelf. On it are daily amenities and a few containers. Some

have medicine in it. Though most of the medicine is for the treatment of external wounds, Darryl found

one that says “Sedative Powder” on the label.

’Sedatives? Haha! I’ll put this in their wine, and when they are unconscious I could save Megan!’ thought

Darryl optimistically.

Just when he was about to leave, he noticed that one of the tiles on the floor is different from the rest. He

knocked on it—clearly hollowed out. He lifted the tile, and to his surprise, he saw a brown paper

wrapping around something. He uncovered the item and was shocked to find a secret manual. On the

cover of the manual wrote: Ascension of the Nine Dragons. ’F*ck, what book is this? The title sounds

impressive’ thought Darryl.

Time was running out, he stashed the manual under his shirt and quickly returned to the main hall. At the

same time, Skyler appeared with a box of food and a jar of wine. The red seal on the wine jar has faded

—clearly of good quality as it has been kept for many years.

“My lord, I don’t have much to offer you but these dishes. I hope you don’t mind.” Skyler apologized while

setting the table.

Darryl nodded then proceeded to eat.

Skyler—knowing his place—left Darryl to feast. When Darryl was almost done, he opened the jar of

wine. He poured himself a cup, then mixed the sedatives into the jar.

He gestured to Skyler and instructed, “Let’s share this jar of wine with our brothers. Tell them it’s from

me.”

Skyler hesitated, “My lord, you know that drinking wine is not allowed in the hall.”

Darryl frowned, “Let’s make it an exception today! I ‘ve made a rare appearance in your branch, would

you dishonor me?”

“No, no my lord! You are mistaken, I wouldn’t dare!” Skyler shook his head then took the jar of wine along

with him.

The men that were in charge of guarding Megan and Kent left reluctantly. They spent the last half an

hour taking hundreds of photos of Megan from various angles. To them, a woman like Megan is a

blessing from heaven.

Megan was sickened by their actions. This is the first time she was tied up, and had her photo taken

without her consent.

Now that everyone has gone to have a drink, Megan asked Darryl quietly, “Darryl, what’s going on?

Why do they treat you with such respect?”
