Chapter 2493
Darryl was not bothered by Adenoid' s threat. He smiled faintly at Rita and said,
''Thank you very much.''
''You're welcon1e, '' Rita answered with a friendly smile.
After that, Rita looked at Darryl with keen interest. ''Gentleman, I did not get your name.''
'' Darren.1
''Good name; it sounds like sorneone with a free spirit.'' Rita praised hilll with a srnile. Then, she sent
an invitation to Darryl. ''I might have a business proposition for you, Mr. Darren. I wonder if you will
give rne a chance to explain it?'' Rita made an apparent hand gesture to invite Darryl inside for a talk

Darryl was ready to speak when Lillian tugged on his arm.
''What?'' Darryl inquired, his head tilted.
Lillian bit her lips and whispered, ''Don't go.
You should be wary of that wo111an. Do not be duped.''
As the Blood Thorn Mercenary Tea111 leader, Lillian often traveled around Black Water Town, so she was very
farniliar with Rita, the 111anager of the trading center. Rita was not only good at business, but she was also
very good at seducing nien. Lillian did not want Darryl to fall into her trap.
Darryl was stunned. ''Why? It's just business talk. It can't be that bad.''
''Just listen to me and turn her down.'' Lillian was a little anxious.
Darryl laughed when he saw Lillian's worried expression and leaned in to whisper into her ear, ''Are you worried
that I won't be able to resist that manager's pretty and sexy charm? Are you jealous?'' 'Jealous?' Lillian was in a
daze after she heard the statement. She quickly replied with a blushing face as she stomped her feet.
''Why would I be jealous?''
Darryl laughed, but he said nothing n1ore. He told Lillian to wait for her there, and then he went inside with Rita.
The private room was tastefully designed.
On the interior, it was cozy and stylish.
Rita poured a glass of red wine for Darryl and stniled as she said, ''What a surprise that this casually
dressed Mr. Darren is a peerless expert.''
Darryl took the wine glass, but he did not drink the wine. Instead, he smiled and said, ''Do you have son1ething to
say, Rita? Why not just get to the point?''
Rita did not expect Darryl to be so straightforward. Her gorgeous face was slightly taken aback, and she smiled

business?''
Her voice was soft and charnming.
At the san1e time, Rita leaned into Darryl's arm.
Though Darryl looked unperturbed, he was, in fact, a little disturbed.
'This won1an is an1azing. She is really good with n1en. I guess most men can't hold out against her.'
As she perceived the twinkle in Darryl's eyes, Rita raised her head with a charming sn1ile on her
delicate face as she said softly, ''Mr. Darren, have you not been close with a woman for a long time?''
''How do you know?'' Darryl spoke subconsciously. He had spent the last three years in the Valley of
Death; he had not touched a woman for a long time, indeed.
However, Darryl regretted his fast lips. Pfft!
Rita laughed out loud after she heard it. She held Darryl's gaze and said softly, ''These days, it's rare
to see soIT1eone like you who could maintain such coillposure in front of a beautiful lady.''
