The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 1456

Wow!

Darryl heard the surrounding crowd yell out in cheers just as he was deep in thoughts.

“My God! One move!”

“No wonder he’s the Deputy Sect Master of the Incandescent Sect! One move is all it takes!”

Darryl turned around to see Matteo standing proudly on the battle stage with a contestant lying on the floor in pain before him.

The two of them just went on the battle stage when Matteo defeated his opponent in one move, wowing the entire crowd!

Everyone’s eyes instantly were attracted to Matteo as they kept cheering.

Darryl let out a deep sigh of relief upon noticing the crowd’s attention was not on him anymore.

‘Thank goodness that Matteo got hold of their attention,’ muttered Darryl to himself before quickly leaving the competition venue.

In the afternoon!

Darryl arrived at the literary competition venue when he noticed many people were crowding at the entrance and looking at the competition rules.

‘F*ck!’

Darryl squeezed into the crowd, looked at the competition rules, and was instantly stunned.

The competition rules stated clearly that the literary competition later would be divided into music, chess, calligraphy, and art. Contestants needed to pass all four categories to proceed into the next round!

“I’m done for. I only know calligraphy and art, but I don’t know music and chess.”

“Yes, me too. I only know music. What should I do?”

Darryl was secretly amused upon seeing this scene where many of the contestants sighed.

‘Haha! How dare they join the competition when they aren’t good at all of those.’

Darryl was indeed not skilled in all of them, but he had Pang Tong’s assistance. Therefore, he was not anxious at all.

It was Geoff Jefferson—the person he met at Florian Darby’s residence the night before.

Darryl wanted to sit next to Parker the night before when they were at Darby’s residence but was chased off by Geoff.

Darryl sneered. ‘So, I’m going up against him in the chess competition?’

Darryl smiled lightly but did not reply while deep in thoughts. Darryl had lots of experience with these sorts of self-righteous people, so he did not bother to say anything to him.

However, Geoff got bolder upon noticing Darryl’s silence as he sized Darryl up and could not hide the detest in his eyes. “Just a mere servant, yet you want to join in the competition? You even thought of marrying the Princess and becoming her Prince Consort? Haha, do you think you’re qualified for it?”

‘F*ck! This dude really thinks I’m Parker’s servant?’

Darryl smiled lightly upon hearing this and slowly said, “Mister Jefferson, I may be a servant, but does that mean I can’t join in the literary competition? The Royals did not state such a rule.”

“Oh wow?” Geoff mocked him even more with his provocative eyes upon seeing Darryl talking back. “Tsk, tsk, you do have some confidence despite being a mere servant, but do you even know music, chess, calligraphy, and art? Do you even know how to play chess?”

Geoff then pointed to the chessboard and sneered, “Let me show you what true chess skills are!”
