Chapter 4412
At her master's words, Queenie did not say anything further.
Then, Sergio swaggered out of the cave. He called out mockingly to Darryl, "Shall we begin, hero of the Nine
Mainland?"
"Alright!"
Darryl nodded calmly. He turned to pick up a piece of wood next to the fire. It was a stray piece of wood that
Sergio had used to light the fire, a common sycamore trunk. It was a little ten centimeters wide and over two
meters long.
Sergio could not help the laugh that escaped him. He said mockingly," What's that? Trying to use a piece of wood
as a crutch because you know you can't outrun me?"
Darryl's expression remained unchanged. He said lightly, "Cut the crap.
Let's get to it."
Sergio smirked coldly. Without hesitation, he took off in the direction of the mountain.
Darryl walked to the stream calmly. He threw the plank of wood onto the water before leaping onto it. He
adjusted his balance, turning the plank into a surfboard as he sped off in the direction of the water.
"He's brilliant!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRealization finally dawned on Queenie as she took in the sight, and she clapped her hands
in awe.
She had been so worried! Her brother-in-law was so frail, so how would he outrun Sergio?
However, he had done the unthinkable and used a plank to surf on the water. Obviously,
that was much faster than making the trip by foot.
Her brother-in-law would win that bet for sure.
At the same time, a smile appeared on Celine's face as well. She gazed at Darryl, nodding
in approval.
She knew she had been right in trusting that Darryl would not let her down.
To surf on the water with a plank-what a brilliant idea!
Just then, Sergio, who had been running in front the entire time, turned and saw what had
happened. His face darkened immediately. 'F*ck! Did Darryl Darby just cheat?'
At the thought, Sergio made a sharp detour. He jumped into the stream, blocking Darryl
before he passed by him.
"Darryl Darby."
Sergio had a cold expression as he smiled maniacally at Darryl. "Trying to cheat, are we?
What happened to the race? How dare you use water to move quicker?"
Darryl was unperturbed under Sergio's angry stare. He said calmly, "We agreed on not
using internal energy, not that we can’t use any other methods. If you can think of a
better way, I will not stop you either."
"You-"
Sergio could not contain his anger. Yet, there was nothing he could say to that.
Darryl was right-they had merely agreed on not using internal energy when discussing the
competition rules. They did not say that other methods were off-limits.
Then, a thought seemed to come to Sergio as a sinister smile crept onto his face. "Very
well, very well. Since you said that.” Whoosh!
As he spoke, Sergio rushed forward. He shoved Darryl off the plank, grabbing it and
jumping onto it to ride the current.
Darryl fell into the stream unceremoniously. He was drenched from head to toe, making a
pretty awkward sight.
"Darryl!"
"Brother-in-law!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCeline and Queenie could not contain their anger. They cried out and rushed forward to
help Darryl up. Then, Queenie yelled at Sergio in the distance. "How shameless can you
get? That was my brother-in-law's idea. How dare you steal it from him?" 2
Queenie shook with rage.
That man was too shameless.
The shouts did not enrage Sergio at all. Instead, he turned back with a massive smile on his face. "He set the
rules. All he said was no internal energy, right? Stealing ideas was never off-limits."
Sergio glanced at Darryl and continued to mock him. "Come on, catch up! Or you're going to lose!"
"Shameless b*stard!" Queenie was anxious and enraged as she yelled.
Celine's brows were furrowed as well. She stared at Darryl. "What now? Do you have a plan to win?"
Darryl sighed gently. He stared at Sergio's retreating figure, smiling lightly." That won't matter anymore. Wait for
me here."
As the words rang through the air, Darryl clambered out of the stream before taking off into the distance.
Celine and Queenie exchanged an anxious glance.
Could Darryl still win?
He should have escaped while Sergio was far away!
As the two women fret about that, Darryl returned with a few sprigs of herbs.
