Chapter 823 Asking You To Help Me (2/2)
”It's not my fault, Aunt. I was just stopping him from going to the Shura Abyss,” Naomi protested. Unknowingly, she had blurted out Augustine's previous plans.
Darren was silent all this time, but he couldn't help but perk up at the mention of ”Shura Abyss.” He was suddenly curious.
”You are not allowed to go there,” Caroline reminded Augus
on, it would take him three years to get out of it. The monkey would have been roasted dry by then. Darren hit himself in the head.
”I must save him first.”
Darren quickly headed back to the cottage.
”Aunt Caroline, I have something to tell you,” Darren called out respectfully. The beautiful fiery red figure appeared.
”Are you having trouble understanding the skill?” Caroline asked.
”No, everything's going smoothly as planned. I was just hoping to ask a favor.”
Caroline nodded her head sagely. ”Very well. What is it then?”
”I want you to release the monkey.”
”What?” Caroline's expression morphed so suddenly at Darren's request.
”You said that he is your enemy and yet you're asking me to release him. Were you lying to me before?”
”No, no, no! Please don't get me wrong, Aunt Caroline. I wasn't deceiving you when I said that he was my enemy. But I had talked to the monkey after and found him pitiful. He was only searching for the Inner Fiend of Barnes the Holy. He meant no harm this time. So please, have mercy on him,” Darren explained.
Caroline was adamant. ”The monkey can be devious and cunning. Don't let him trick you.”
”He wasn't trying to trick me. I'm sure of it,” Darren said confidently.
”Fine. Since you have agreed to help me, I shall grant you this favor in return. However, this is the third time that I have forgiven the monkey. If he dares break into my island again, I will spare him no mercy then.”
”Thank you, Aunt Caroline. I will let him know.” Darren cupped his hands together in gratitude.
”Go find Naomi. She can unlock the lock.”
”Okay, I am going now. Thank you very much.”
Wasting no time, Darren flew to Naomi's residence.
