Chapter 2571
The baby dragon seemed excited at the mention of Jewel's name by Darryl. It twisted and turned
trying to tell them that it was Jewel, but words simply didn't come up as it wished because it was
too young. Darryl, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice the abnormal behaviour of the
baby dragon.
Zhu Bajie took a deep breath and his expression became thoughtful. He hesitated for a split second
before explaining, ''Um...Brother, I need you to be prepared for this. What I heard was far from
good news. The Carter Family are indeed captured by Zhang Jue and are now held as prisoners. As
for your sworn brothers Chester and Jewel, something bad has happened.''
Darryl felt his blood run cold at the words and asked hurriedly, ''What happened to Brother Cheste
and Jewel?'' Brother Cheste and Jewel were two of the most important people to me, one being his

if anything was to happen to them!
Zhu Bajie scratched his head as he struggled to find the right words, before looking back at Darryl in distress and
said, ''Chester has submitted to Zhang Jue...and Jewel...she is dead!''
Not over half a day ago, Zhu Bajie had managed to capture a Hall Master of the Endless Sky Organization and was
told that Zhang Jue's men had found Jewel's corpse. As for Chester switching sides to follow Zhang Jue, that was no
longer new information.
What? Darryl's body jerked forward in shock before he stumbled backward, feeling as though all strength had
been drained from him. His eyes were red and tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably. 'Jewel...is dead?
No...this can't be. She is such a kind-hearted girl with her entire life ahead of her, how could she die? This isn't
real,' he thought.
''Zhang Jue, I'm going to tear you to shreds if that's the last thing I do!'' Darryl roared with his fists clenched, his
rage burning like wildfire within him. Sensing Darryl's despair, the baby dragon was touched beyond words and
tried its best to lean into Darryl as an attempt to express its gratitude.
It wasn't until half a minute later before Darryl eventually calmed down. He stared at Zhu Bajie and asked, ''You
said that Brother Chester went under the wings of Zhang Jue. Are you certain about that?'' Brother Chester was
the most righteous man he knew, hell could freeze over before he would turn his back on what was right and
work for Zhang Jue.
''I heard it from a Hall Master of the Endless Sky Organization.'' Zhu Bajie smiled bitterly before continuing with a
more serious tone, ''Besides, I saw with my own eyes that when Chester appeared at the hall of the Endless Sky
Organization, all those disciples that belong to the Endless
Sky Organization were very respectful to him. It doesn't seem to be fake news.''
Darryl collapsed into one of the chairs nearby at the confirmation, lost in thoughts and unable to utter
a word.

Zhang Jue sat expressionlessly in the hall. Only his eyes revealed the viciousness that stirred within.
It had been days and there was no news of Darryl's whereabouts and Zhang Jue simply could not be
more frustrated. Standing quietly by his sides were a young man and a young woman with their
heads bowed respectfully. These two were both around the age of twenty, and were rather
presentable in terms of outlook. The man was called Vito Chapman and the woman Karen Spencer,
they were two of the latest batch of disciples Zhang Jue took in in the past two years. Vito and Karen
were both quick learners and ambitious. They were efficient when it came to carrying Zhang Jue and
therefore had gained his trust. Below him were the high-ranking members of the Endless Sky
Organization including Chester. They lined up on both sides of the hall wordlessly, not daring to say
anything that might provoke Zhang Jue in his current mood.
''Fu*k!'' Chester cursed inwardly. He might look composed at the moment, but in truth he was close
to having a mental breakdown. He had planned to pretend like he had switched sides to follow
Zhang Jue in order to gain first-hand information on what would be their next move against Darryl.
However, two days had gone by and there was no news of Darryl. It was as if he had vanished into
thin air. Chester and Darryl were as close as brothers, how could he not worry?
