‘Is he really Darryl Darby?’ “Haha!”
Jonas could not help it and burst into laughter. The crowd muttered amongst each other. He pointed to the mask in
Darryl’s hand. “Brat, I have to give it to you. The mask looks super authentic! Let me tell you something, there are
way too many who claimed to be Darryl Darby and there are also many fake masks like this one! Will you believe me if
I say that I can make one that is similar to yours within just half an hour in the Snyder family’s factory?”
Most of the people in the room burst into laughter.
Darryl frowned, looking displeased. ‘Is he crazy? Is he picking on me just because I got closer to Tanya? It’s not like I
have any grudge against him.’
“Jonas Dokko!” Tanya was extremely furious. “Can you please stop butting in? He is Darryl Darby, why are you
accusing him of being a fake? Also, did you forget who saved us when we were captured at the Green Dragon City
Gate in Westrington?” She was annoyed that Jonas was biting on the hand that had helped him. Not to mention, he
wanted to marry her.
“I…”

Jonas stuttered with embarrassment and muttered, “We met a nice official in Green Dragon City Gate. What does it have
anything to do with him?”
“Your Excellency!”
Darryl walked over and smiled at Colt, “You must be the Head of the Dokko family. Regardless of whether I am
the true Darryl Darby, the Chaotic Mountain Range situation cannot afford any more delays. The consequences
will be grave if the Raksasa Tribe gets past there. This incident requires the nine cities in the Mainland to unite so I
hope that you can take this matter seriously and assign some of your men to help guard the Chaotic Mountain
Range to prevent that from happening.”
Darryl looked sincere as he explained.
Colt stifled a laugh and replied casually, “From what I know, there are no records of the Raksasa Tribe being in
the nine cities in the Mainland for hundreds and thousands of years. It’d be a joke if the various forces in the nine
cities get their men there just because of Rama’s few words.”
He stared at Darryl with a solemn expression as he continued, “I strongly believe that as the ace who is well-
known in the nine cities, Darryl Darby wouldn’t have trusted an absurd talk, especially after all he had
experienced!”
Darryl had mixed emotions when he heard that.
‘The Dokko family members are indeed full of themselves. Jonas Dokko is like that, even Colt Dokko is the same.
Like father, like son indeed.’ Darryl was about to retort but he was interrupted by Bob.
“That’s enough!” Bob gave Darryl a glance and chuckled. “The words of the Head of the Dokko family are clear
and I’m sure that you got the message. I wanted to ask you to leave but I don’t want to make things ugly for you
in front of Tanya. Just stop talking about the Chaotic Mountain Range.”
He ignored Darryl after that without another word. “Father!”
Tanya panicked. She wanted to talk on Darryl’s behalf. However, she did not know how to start when she noticed
Bob’s dignified expression.
“Uhh…”
Darryl felt helpless at that moment. He finally understood Rama’s difficulty, it was not easy to persuade them.

Jonas was extremely pleased to see Darryl’s hopeless expression.
‘I told you that this is just the start, for trying to oppose me. There are more to come.’
He planned to criticize Darryl in front of his father when he got the chance, in hopes that his father would teach him a
tough lesson personally.
“Tanya!” Colt turned to look at Tanya with a smile. “Let’s resume our topic. I am not going to pressure you since
you’re not willing to get married now. It wouldn’t be a problem to postpone the wedding for another two years. As for
the collaboration with Dragon Tech, I already got my men to send them a message and I’m sure that the owner will
show me some respect.”
Colt had been involved in the community for a long time and he was good at social connections. He decided not to
push Tanya when he noticed how repulsed she was with Jonas. He chose to focus on doing Tanya a favor in business
instead. He was clear that the Snyder family would owe him big time if he helped them in regards to the collaboration
with Dragon Tech, since they were getting desperate.
He would ask for their blessing on the marriage again when the time was right. He was sure that Bob would talk to
Tanya about it, on behalf of Jonas, even if she would still not be willing to get married to him then.
