Chapter 2068

Jerome smiled at Darryl forcefully. “I did not know that you were a guest. I’m so sorry. So sorry—”

Even though his tone was polite, Jerome’s eyes were still full of disdain.

Everyone in the Famed Sword Manor knew that Parker liked to dress up as a man and roamed the world even

though she was the heiress to the Famed Sword Manor. Plus, she had a bubbly character—she would make friends

wherever she went. She would even befriend ordinary folks.

So, even though Darryl was a friend of Parker’s, he must have been someone unimportant. He had been

disrespectful toward the man, but Parker did not even punish him. She only reprimanded him with a few words.

If Darryl were truly an important guest, Parker would not have let it go so easily.

“This person looks so insignificant, yet he is Miss Parker’s friend?”

“Yes, I heard that Miss Parker likes to roam the world, and she likes to make friends as well. This man must have

been lucky to get acquainted with her.”

“It looks like we have to pay more attention to Miss Parker’s movements. Next time when she goes traveling, I want

to have a rendezvous with her as well.” Laughter ensued.

Like Jerome, the crowd also thought that Darryl was only a nobody that Parker had met.

Darryl heard them clearly, but he ignored them.

Even though Parker was only a woman, she had a cheerful personality. She did not bother with their words as well.

At that moment, she tugged at Darryl happily. “The Sword Conference is about to begin; let’s go in and talk.”

It did not matter if Darryl was there to ask her for help or other purposes. On the contrary, she was honored that

he was there with her.

After all, Darryl was a famous hero in the Nine Mainland.

“Sure!”

Darryl smiled and nodded, then he followed Parker into the mansion.

At that moment, the seats in the main hall were already filled. They were all influential cultivators in the Yellow Sea

Continent.

Swoosh!

Everyone’s attention was on Darryl when they realized that Parker brought him with her.

Who was that person? He was dressed so ordinarily, yet Miss Parker had greeted him personally?

However, most of them were not too shocked because they knew that Parker liked to make friends everywhere.

“Why don’t you take a seat here?”

Parker did not bother with the crowd’s gazes. Instead, she walked toward the front row and sat down before she

pointed to the seat next to her and smiled at Darryl. She said, “This was my younger cousin’s place, but he had

something to do, so he had left. I’m sorry; this is the best that I can do for now. If you let me know earlier that you

were coming, I would have arranged a better seat for you.”

Parker’s exquisite face was full of sincerity and admiration.

A person like Darryl was definitely worthy of the main VIP seat at the conference.

Darryl smiled and shook his head. Then, he said, “Miss Parker, you don’t have to be so polite; it does not matter

where I sit.”

His purpose was to find Debra, not to attend the Sword Conference. So it did not matter where he sat.

What?

Everyone in the main hall was stunned again.

What had happened?

Even if that person looked like Miss Parker’s friend, he did not seem all that important. So why was he arranged to

be seated at the VIP guest area?

Miss Parker also seemed to be quite close with him.

At first, the guests did not pay much attention to Darryl. However, when they saw how Parker acted with him, they

had started to make guesses.

Even though Darryl was extremely famous throughout the Nine Mainland, he had never been to the Yellow Sea

Continent. So, the cultivators from the Yellow Sea Continent did not recognize him at all.

“Hmm?”

Finally, among their hushed discussions, a man stood up and stared at Darryl. Then, he asked in an unfriendly tone,

“You do not look familiar; may I ask where you are from?”

The man was Lucas Draco, and he was Parker’s elder cousin. He was from the Draco family, a famous cultivator

family in the Yellow Sea Continent. They were extremely influential too. So, as the Draco family’s young master, he

had a strong sense of superiority.

More importantly, Lucas had liked Parker since they were young. So, when he saw her sitting, joking and laughing

with an ordinary person, he was extremely displeased.
