Chapter 2431

“Where is Donoghue now?” Eira asked, worried.

Everyone looked at each other; then, a patrolling soldier said, “I saw Master Vikara had gone to Sect

Master Darby’s tent just now.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard that. Then, they ran quickly together towards Darryl’s tent.

Donoghue pretended to be Rama’s disciple and came to the base camp; he must be up to something.

Meanwhile, Donoghue had just stepped into Darryl’s tent and was stunned to see Yvette was there too.

“Young Master Vikara, is there something you need?” Darryl asked.

Donoghue regained his thoughts and smiled as he said, “Nothing much; I’m just here to see if you’re

done with your preparation. Also, when shall we embark on our journey?”

When he said that, Donoghue kept his attention on Yvette.

Meanwhile, Yvette was observing Donoghue as well. Although Darryl was not concerned, she was confident in her

own instincts and was sure there was something wrong with Vikara.

Darryl laughed lightly and said to Donoghue, “I’m giving out some orders that I can leave anytime.”

When he heard that, Donoghue nodded, but he did not leave immediately. ‘Yvette was the previous Princess

of the New World; she is intelligent and resourceful. And now she’s looking at me suspiciously. Did she already

figure out my identity?’ he wondered before an idea came to him.

“Sect Master Darby, you are bearing such a huge responsibility. Naturally, there are many orders you need to set

aside. I shall wait for you at the camp’s entrance,” he said.

Donoghue pretended to think of something and continued to say, “Sect Master Darby, can I take a look at your

dragon ball? Since Emperor Xuan Yuan left it behind, it must be extraordinary.”

Donoghue was a cunning person. When he realized Yvette was suspicious of him, he decided to trick Darryl into

giving him the dragon ball. Then, he would not need to plan to rob it from him.

Instinctually, Darryl was not willing to give Donoghue the dragon ball, so he stayed silent. Donoghue’s actions

made Yvette even more suspicious of him.

‘Darryl will be leaving with him soon to Coral Island. There will be plenty of opportunities during the journey

for Donoghue to admire the dragon ball. Why would be want to look at it now?’ she wondered.

Donoghue cursed in his heart when he saw Darryl and Yvette’s reaction. ‘This Darryl and Yvette are quite

cautious.’

He smiled and said softly, “It’s fine if you don’t want to show me. I heard from the Head of Sea Mackie Clan

earlier at Coral Island before about the two items left behind by Emperor Xuan Yuan. One of them is with the Sea

Mackie Clan, and the other at the Chaotic Mountain range. I just wish to see if the dragon ball that you’re holding

is just like how the Head of Sea Mackie Clan described.”

Donoghue was lying. He did not know the Head of Sea Mackie Clan at all. At that time, he was only hanging out

somewhere near Coral Island, and he did not really enter Coral Island.

‘I see…” Darryl nodded, letting his guard down as he took out the dragon ball. “If that’s the case, please

take a look.”

He handed the dragon ball to Donoghue. Donoghue became unimaginably excited as he was handed the

dragon ball.

“Sect Master Darby, I’ll wait for you at the camp’s entrance. Once I’m done examining the dragon ball, I

shall return it to you,” he said with a smile.

‘Ha-ha! Darryl, you fool. You handed me the dragon ball just like that. The treasure box from the Sea

Mackie Clan is still in the cave in the forest a few kilometers away. Now that I have the dragon ball, the

treasure of Emperor Xuan Yuan will be mine soon,’ he snickered to himself.

Donoghue planned to leave the camp and head to the cave in the forest to retrieve the treasure once he

bid Darryl farewell. Then, he would use the dragon ball to open the treasure box and get the treasure

inside. He would finally be able to return to his old identity and would not need to pretend to be a monk

anymore.

He became more emotional with that thought as he said goodbye to Darryl and left.

“Father!” Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent. A desperate voice shouted,

“Father! Vikara is Donoghue. Don’t let him fool you!”

It was Eira, Chester, and the others.
