Chapter 2230

Woo!

Dax took a deep breath and sat down again after he heard Chester’s words.

“Gonggong!”

Darryl smiled and said to Gonggong, “I will sign this on one condition.”

“What is it? Tell me,” Gonggong replied without any thought.

Gonggong was extremely pleased. As long as Darryl agreed to surrender, then she would have completed her

mission. By then, she would have done great work for Yang Jian, and the credit would be hers.

Darryl stood up slowly. He looked at Gonggong and said, “I want you to release my family and the other cultivators

immediately. Then, when they’ve returned home safely, I’ll sign it immediately.”

Darryl pretended to agree with Gonggong because he had considered Yvette and the other cultivators’ safety.

Otherwise, he would have refused directly.

Pfft!

Gonggong was stunned, then chuckled. She looked at Darryl playfully and said, “Darryl, do you think I’m a child? If I

let them go and you go back on your words, what happens then?”

She shook her head determinedly. “I won’t let them go before you sign the letter. Give me a different condition.”

“Very well then!”

Darryl looked disappointed. He smiled bitterly and said, “If that is the case, I won’t ask for much. Why don’t you

take me to the prison and let me have a look at them? If I can see that they are safe, then I won’t have to worry.

How about that?”

Darryl’s expression was sincere, but his eyes flashed with cunningness.

He wanted to enter the prison to see Yvette and the others. He was only testing Gonggong when he asked for their

release. He never expected her to agree to that.

Uh…

Gonggong bit her lips and hesitated.

The condition was nothing too challenging, but Darryl was too cunning. What was his intention?

“Gonggong!”

When he saw the conflict on her face, Darryl smiled and said, “The prison is guarded securely; are you afraid that I

will rescue them there and then? Furthermore, I’ll be alone to see if they are alright. I will only sign the letter then.”

His tone was so sincere that one could not refuse him.

“Very well, then!” Gonggong nodded and agreed. His condition seemed reasonable, so it was hard for her to refuse.

It was also a trivial matter, so she could make that decision herself. She did not need to report it to Yang Jian.

Hmm!

Darryl was delighted when she agreed to his request, but he pretended to be calm. He nodded, smiled, and said,

“Could you give me the room? Let me make my arrangements, and then we’ll head to prison together.”

Gonggong scanned her surroundings, responded, and left the main hall. She waited for him outside.

She considered Dax’s aggravation and the other’s behavior; she thought Darryl needed to persuade them, so it was

not convenient for her to be there.

Woola!

She had just left when the group immediately surrounded Darryl; they looked at him in confusion. Then they asked

their questions at the same time.

“Young Master, what are you doing?”

“Yes, Darryl, what are you thinking?”

“Darryl, do you already have a plan?”

At that moment, Susan, Chester, the Seven Fairies, and everyone else were all extremely curious about his

decision.

Darryl smiled and signaled for them to be quiet. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “With the current situation, what

other choice do I have? I can only minimize our losses.”

Then, Darryl scanned the hall and continued to say, “I have decided to give up Mid City temporarily. We’ll move to

the Wicked Valley in the northern suburbs and redeploy our defenses. The terrain there is dangerous and

complicated. But, we can use that to our advantage, and we can keep the North Moana Army at bay for some

time.”
